well, a workaround might be instead of viewing messages with <enter>, view with 'e' - edit-message. that will open the message in your defined editor, and you can scroll through it there with the cursor... when done, just quit your editor without saving, and you're back at the index. in my setup, the editor is set to : set editor="vim -u ~/.mutt/vimrc -c ':0;/^$'" so that it automagically starts after the headers :) HTH! -- Dan Boger Linux MVP brainbench.com
