Oh, of course I don't filter it on every reading; I've used the following
for a long time now:
manual-plain.txt: ${MUTTDOCDIR}/manual.txt
col -b < $< > $@
But every time I build a release, I hear a tiny voice whispering "those
damn ctrl-H's!"
I use "less" too, but I still get stuff like:
<B7> [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- low traffic list for announcements
with a recent "less", or even
\267 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- low traffic list for announcements
with my vintage 1992 version of "less".
I guess my original thought was that someone new to mutt who happened to
click on the "text" link on the web site would look at what he or she got
and think "what is all that double letter stuff?" and go somewhere else.
But, I'm probably being too harsh, here. Just call me a text-weenie :)
