macro prompt f c -- curses! The flip side, of course, it that mutt users are quick on the keyboard and will continue typing before the computer reacts, guaranteeing that anyone with 'f' hard-wired into their brains commits quite a few effective typos before detecting the error. But there is a price to 'progress', I suppose. It's been a while, and even we stodgy terminal mailer users have to retrain our brains eventually. I was in a meeting a few days ago where the PM made some condescending crack about unix admins and their pine e-mail, and every other person in the room but me burst into laughter. I think I would have said something regrettable if I had figured out how to explain sharply and concisely that although my mailer isn't pine, it has all the same qualities that they consider foolish. First time I've been glad that a co-worker uses pine. By the way, as long as we're discussing cosmetic changes in this area: ever since this was changed I've been rather thrown off that the PGP prompt changes to a Security prompt when I forget (clear) it. -- -D.
