Hi Thanks to all who replied. I have got it working now thanks. Just in case anyone else is having similar issued it looks like this now:
Default format folder-hook . 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"' Normal incoming mail mailbox folder-hook +Spool/azlan 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"' Normal outgoing mail mailbox folder-hook +Outgoing/azlan 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15t (%4l) %s"' Incoming mailbox that is mail from a mailing list (thsi si the one that was causing me problems I think) folder-hook +Spool/debian-user 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15F (%4l) %s"' Note the use of 15.15F in the above instead of the 15.15L for normal mailboxes. Some of the above lines may have wrapped as I have text width set to 72 chars. Thanks again all.
