No, I am not using any display filter. I posted a bit of an explanation earlier in this thread: http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=135349691111854&w=2 My reading habits are that if I don't want to keep the message or reply to it I press the delete key if I see "All" at the bottom right of the screen. I have been caught out enough in the past where someone doesn't have a sig or some other means to show that their post has finished and I have pressed the space bar where I thought there was more content, but instead have gone on to the next message. For some reason it annoys the heck out of me, probably because it upsets my "reading rhythm" :) BTW, I wouldn't call them "medium-length lines", not when the line is actually a paragraph. This is if your definition of a line is the same as mine, i.e. terminated by a CR/LF. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X
