It looks like you have enabled $text_flowed. That overrides the value of $indent_string.
Indeed, I do. The weird thing is that while I'm composing my email, I see the > without the space, but once sent, the space is added. I hadn't realized that until two minutes ago, when I saw it in a previous mail I sent to the list without adding the space manually (as I've been doing in every single email I reply to for the last two years (according to my comment on my .muttrc): set text_flowed=yes # Added by ama @ 2019/02/03 It seems that this is "what I did" which broke the $indent_string. LOL I'm not editing the paragraphs I'm responding to this time, to see if the spaces show up again, for example in the next one:
You can read a bit more about it at <http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#ff>, but you'll want to do more research if you intend to compose format=flowed emails.
Thank you, I'm going to have a look at this. I'd like to keep doing it, since it might help others to read my email better regardless of their email client and display. I remember now I started using it to make things nicer for myself while doing mail in my Zipit Z2 (All-in-One Wi-Fi Messenger), running OpenWRT, in which I only have a 52 (IMS) characters wide console.
From that link you gave me:
"If $reflow_space_quotes is unset, mutt will still add one trailing space after all the quotes in the pager (but not when replying)." I think that might explain the behaviour I'm observing. Cheers, Ángel
