Mutt seems to prefer the plain text over the html version of your message. Pine, on the other hand, seems to prefer the html version. > As far as breaking the thread, what are refering to? Mutt has support for threads. That means that replies are placed beneath the parent message, according to the In-Reply-To and References headers. The thread display looks something like this: 1008 Dec 01 Daniel Yang ( 57) Looking for right ISP 1009 Dec 01 Phil Brutsche ( 31) |-> 1010 Dec 01 Daniel Yang ( 55) |*> 1011 Dec 02 Todd Suess ( 71) | |-> 1012 Dec 01 Steve Lamb ( 18) | `-> 1013 Dec 02 Michelle Konzac ( 44) |*> 1014 Dec 02 Kenneth Scharf ( 30) |*> 1015 Dec 02 Paul McHale ( 140) `-> 1016 Dec 02 Steve Lamb ( 22) `->OT: WHAT THE F**K!!!

This happens when the mailer doesn't include those headers, so mutt has to guess that the message is a reply, and guess where in the threading structure to place it (a configuration option will tell mutt not to do this guessing, and to treat it as a new thread). Note that your posts aren't breaking the thread, contrary to what Steve claimed. > Quoting the wrong way. Feel free to expand on this one ... The style of quoting used in this message, as opposed to that in your message. It makes replying work much better. -- finger for GPG public key. 29 Nov 1999 - new email address added to gpg key
