Big thanks to all of you that replied, I've got more solutions than I
can remember now.. :)
I tried to search the archive for the old thread on this without much
success yet. But I'd like to make three suggestions that will make
everyone's life easier:
1. I'm sure people will ask this question in the future again, so how
about putting this in the doc? I think Section 4. Advanced Usage is
suitable.
2. How about a little hint after you press 'l'? like this:
Limit to messages matching ("." to unlimit):
for more visibility?
3. Binding ^L to unlimit in the source code? so that when you press '?'
for help and search for 'limit', it'll come up?
I like mutt alot and I hope more people will use mutt.
Robert
