I've been using mutt for some weeks now. Originally, I found the colors to be most helpful in some cases and a distraction in others. Early on I made some changes to suit my own old eyesight and left the headers for later. Now I've decided the only headers I need to see are 'from', 'date', 'reply-to' and 'subject' - with 'subject' made to stand out and so be easy to see. In .muttrc, I used:- ------ ignore * unignore date from reply-to subject ------ and also :- ------ color header blue default ^Subject color header black green ^From etc ------ This gave me what I desired, plus, something I do not need, a 'ghost' line in the form of (for this list) - 'From mutt-users-owner-<my email address@ and the details of Return-Path and the full date and time>' . When I say 'ghost' line, it looks something like the old typewriter correction fluid in action - you can just read what's underneath. I still have kmail on this box, and when I bring up the 'full headers' for sample messages there is no 'From' in exactly the same form. I notice in /etc/Muttrc amongst the weeding of header fields, there is:- ignore "from" received message-id etc etc Can anyone please explain to me what is happening and what I can best do to get rid of the 'ghost' ( I was patting myself on the back with the way messages are now displayed for reading etc until I noticed this, and now it's the first thing my eyes alight on!!) Thanks, John.
