My first email was actually a resend after I got a bounce. I must have answered a question wrongly during setup of exim. When I copied the exim setup from the old system, the new started sending email properly. If I really want a clean new system (and I do) I'll probably end up re-doing last nights work. > > > > all done in ~/.muttrc and that there is not a master config file in > > > /etc. Am I mistaken?

On my computer the two installation Muttrc files are identical (no differences discovered by diff) and there is no Muttrc.d directory in either installation. I can see in /usr/lib/mutt evidence that Muttrd.d is a legitimate part of some installations of mutt (a script that references it), but its not there for me. I didn't see any config information in /usr/lib/mutt (not surprising, there shouldn't be any according to policy) The different behavior remains a puzzle. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
