I also have it as "alternates address1 address2 etc.", so yes both form works. This one may be the older version and the one with set is the newer version :-) In my case the list is more specific. I even protect the dot with a backslash not to match something else, so an address as u...@domain.net is listed in my alternates as ^user@domain\.net$. This is to avoid other addresses to match, such as new-u...@domain.net, etc. But you can also use unalternates as Nathan said. > Can multiple "alternates" lines appear in .muttrc? I would guess that the last one will be honored. Ionel
