that's most probably the case. mutt is instructed to show the subject when it has changed from the previous message. now, if a message has two followups with a new subject which happen to be the same then mutt will show both - even though they are the same. > i can't seem to get consistent behavior one way or another, so i > think i'm probably guessing wrong as to the reason for this (because > if i delete a parent message, the two children give the behavior in > my second example... what i'd imagine to be the "correct" behavior). hmm.. can you type up a sample mailbox which shows this? You might attach this mailbox and then we can take a look at it with "mutt -f filename" etc. Sven
