You may have better luck with mutt-...@mutt.org. > I realise this may not be a desirable feature for everyone (after all > this will introduce a dependency on readline), it is for my private > consumption. Thanks for any help. Indeed; mutt's line editor is designed to integrate with other facets of the mutt environment, such as alias completion and line editor macros. That is, by replacing it with readline you will experience a loss of functionality. You might alternately wish to look into implementing those features in mutt's editor that you miss from readline. You might even find that they are already present, just not bound in the familiar way. -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
