Maybe, I guess. > Can you post all your hdr_order and associated lines? Sure: ignore * unignore from subject to cc bcc date user-agent x-user-agent x-mailer hdr_order User-Agent: X-User-Agent: X-Mailer: Date: From: To: Cc: Bcc: Subject: > And a copy of the lines you removed from the main muttrc. OK. These are lines 7-13 of /usr/local/etc/Muttrc, which I commented out: -------------------------- ignore * # ... then allow these through. unignore from: subject to cc date x-mailer x-url user-agent # Display the fields in this order hdr_order date from to cc subject -------------------------- On lines 19-22 one finds a macro (index,pager,attach,compose) bound to \cb. In a file sourced by my muttrc (and located in my home directory), I have: macro index \cb ":set index_format = '%Z %-3C %[%m/%d/%y] %-30.30L (%4.5c) %-80.80s'" Mutt uses my \cb macro, but appears to use the /usr/local/etc/Muttrc's setting for hdr_order and unignore. Until I commented 7-13 of "system" Muttrc, nothing I did with hdr_order would take effect, and same for unignore as far as I can tell. I noticed this when mutt would display User-Agent as the last thing in the header, contrary to my instructions. -gmn
