See my previous reply. Ugh, again. Configure ~/.Xdefaults with the following and you can skip the overlong command line: Rxvt*scrollBar: false Rxvt*font: Courier Rxvt*foreground: #000000 Rxvt*background: #d8d8bf Rxvt*geometry: 86x34+27+58 Lots of other options available, none of which needs to be repeated unecessarily in batch files or scripts. > This works great - I can open mbox files with mutt by clicking > on them in Firefox. > > However, now I have a different (though minor) problem, which > may in fact be more closely related to mutt than my original > question: > > When I call up mutt, the first mail line covers the help line, like > this: > > q:Q1 T 2009-05-27 John Johnston 10K RE: Metadaten > 2 r T 2009-05-27 John Johnston 10K |=> > 3 r C 2009-05-29 Barbara Jones 13K `-> > > Only when I read a message and return to the index do the index lines > return to their proper position, showing the help line: > > q:Quit d:Del u:Undel s:Save m:Mail r:Reply g:Group ?:Help > 1 T 2009-05-27 John Johnston 10K RE: Metadaten > 2 r T 2009-05-27 John Johnston 10K |=> > 3 r C 2009-05-29 Barbara Jones 13K `-> > > A minor annoyance, but is this perhaps a known problem, particularly > with X windows? Sorry, no idea what your lastest problem is, but I'll point out again that Cygwin's rxvt doesn't require X to be running. If you are running X, then ask your questions on the Cygwin X list. -- George
