First of all, hello list =) I've been lurking here for a short time and it's nice to read such a helpful and friendly list. Slava, I think the problem is that whith your method, the indent_string is set once at startup. And at that time there's nothing to substitute for the %n. You have to do it in a message-hook, like message-hook . "set indent_string=`indent.pl %n`" This way it will be set every time a message is opened for display or replying. But as others have already pointed out, this isn't really a good idea to begin with. -- Johan Andersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG public key id: 0x6415B9F7
