yes, exactly that mike. and that was also exactly the how i imagined/hoped "mono indicator reverse" to work when i tried. as far as building from cvs goes, i will wait until that version is released to the masses. it's a gushy & gooey feeling that above behaviour will be available from the mutt itself. did i thank the developers of mutt yet? well, thank you developers & maintainers of the mailer that sucks the least. - parv --
