that won't do what he's asking; he's saying he'd like to use the shared libs and other extra files from the other version of mutt and only keep the binary around. i'm not sure there's a way to do that... however you can most likely get the space taken up by your private copy knocked down pretty low... strip the binaries and remove the documentation files you don't need. i doubt the entire thing will end up taking up very much space. -- Will Yardley william @ newdream . net
