Yes, but I'm getting over it. Also I need to know how to work with at least one CLI email client in the event that I don't have X available (I have a fallback "no-X" alternative backend set up for most basic functionality, exept email-- and heaven knows I never want to have to try and read my ISP's webmail via lynx/elinks). > This is the thing: in mutt you can flag a message as important (you > got only one flag), also you have a 'ctrl-d' command that deletes a > full thread.

I can't imagine why upstream wouldn't include that functionality.

I'm sure I'll want it if I ever get around to using Mutt. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
