Wow; amazing. i'Ve been checking thru /usr/local/etc/Muttrc
and found something interesting. This, circa lins #2900 ++:
# Specifies how to sort messages in the index menu. Valid
values
# are:
#
# date or date-sent
# date-received
# from
# mailbox-order (unsorted)
# score
# size
# subject
# threads
# to
but nowhere to specify the date-received. Strange, yes?
wait::: dsn
# set dsn_notify=""
#
# Name: dsn_notify
# Type: string
# Default: ""
#
Be nice to suggest to the mutt folks to let this be turned on
only for certain email. I *have* tried to sub to the mutt
mailinglist, but never get any responce. AFAIK, there is no
forum, so maybe it's time to roll my own hack!
thanks muchly,

mutt forum, so maybe it's time to roll my own hack!
