Patrick, writecolumn doesn't seem to appear in mutt-devel (1.5.18) either. There is "wrap", which is the substitute for the deprecated "wrapmargin". I put "set wrapmargin = -5" in my mutt-stable (1.4.2.3), but see no difference. The To/Cc/Bcc fields after <enter> are still not wrapped, but cut at the right edge of the terminal. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
