I've discovered an option in my editor that allows it to skip the use of the top N lines of the screen. However, when I use this feature to compose a mail message, what's displayed on the top of the screen is whatever was there before. Of course, if I type something, save-and-exit my editor, then press 'e', then I get to see the headers that remind me of my context. Actually the documentation seems to be incorrect. It sez that the Compose menu is displayed, then later the editor is launched, and after the editor completes, the compose menu re-displays. It's more correct to say that the editor is launched, and when it completes, the compose menu is displayed. Or am I missing something??? If I'm missing nothing, then a documentation fix would be in order. I would probably also argue in that case for a new variable: compose_show_headers Type: boolean Default: unset When set, Mutt will display the compose menu before launching your editor when composing a message. Your editor may have an option for skipping the use of the top N lines of the screen, so that you can see the compose menu during text editing. While I'm in feedback mode, I think a case could be argued for displaying the first partial screenful of a single-attachment message when re-displaying the compose screen. Of course, with multiple attachments, the current menuing behavior is probably more correct. But then, the first scenario is _far_ more important to me. Comments appreciated. Randy
