Good point, yes, it does. The problem seems to be when in status_format I tell mutt to right-align the rest of the text, and pad the empty space with space characters: "%> ". If I change that bit of status_format to "%>-" so that the empty space between the left-aligned and right-aligned sections in the status bar is filled with -'s instead of spaces, then it works. But "%> " should be valid, shouldn't it? I think it was working, previously. I don't know if the change corresponded to any update. I'm running the mutt package from Ubuntu 10.04.
