A legit alternative... I mean, the index view has the date, which can be formatted pretty flexibly, and sorted on. If you want to know what e-mails you received in the last two days, sort by newest first, and then you just need to know what day it is, and have sufficient working knowledge of how dates work to know what the day before today is... Basically the same thing for 30 days, but as a rough equivalent, stop scrolling when you get to the same date last month, i.e. if today is July 1, then stop at June 1. If for some reason that is not enough for you, you can use Mutt's search or limit feature to only show you messages that are less than 2/30/however many days old. I forget exactly how it works because I've never found the feature useful, but I know it's there... And that is why I said having a visual divider is a distasteful waste of space. It has nothing to do with fashion--it has everything to do with efficient function. -- Derek D.
