Oh! I find that "&" seems to be part of the vanilla distribution of mutt (i.e., its in my help menu, and it works), at least in 1.3.25. Excellent. Or is that patch you mention somehow different? Anyhow, there seems to be a glaring but minor bug with the built-in version: when I re-parent some threads, exit mutt, and go back to same folder (i.e., the changes are written out to the mailbox and reread from scratch), the re-parented messages are now flagged "N". This prompted me to look at the headers of these messages. What seems to happen is that when the "In-Reply-To:" field is added, it does not bear a newline at the end; this causes the "Status:" field to become merely a continuation of the "In-Reply-To:" line, losing its significance. -- Maciej Kalisiak [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac
