(1) http://www.geocities.com/fcky1000/fckx/before.png (2) http://www.geocities.com/fcky1000/fckx/after.png When hitting <enter> in mutt's index display I was getting some rather messy rendering of the html version of the message via "urlview->elinks" as demonstrated by the "before" (1) screenshot above. I had lived with this annoyance for ages but decided it was time to do something about it. I googled for a while and not coming up with anything useful, I posted to the mutt mailing list and s/o knew immediately what I was talking about and advised I add the following to my .muttrc: alternative_order text/plain text/html .. and read the fine manual, of course. This apparently did the trick -- see the (2) screenshot. Now I can tell right away who says what, thanks to the ">"'s and ">>"'s and everything is correctly indented.. icing on the cake, my "coloring" choices -- more like different shades of gray -- make it easier to read through the message at a glance. Now that I had the proper keyword .. "alternative_order" I googled further and found some interesting posts that give me a feeling that there's more to it than what I implemented .. but since it works for me so far, I decided that I have no time to become a mail expert just now and will keep it on the back burner to investigate further is other messages start causing trouble. Sorry about my earlier post being cryptic. Thanks! CJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
