that's simpler to see (but less likely). ncurses can be configured to send tab characters (making some optimizations a little better), but not all terminals/drivers are setup properly. I'd just run mutt in 'script' and see if the resulting typescript has tab characters (that would tell me if I might want to look further, e.g., if tabs are expanded at every 8th column). diagnosing a problem with the locale stuff is harder to see where to start... > Thanks for your reply, if you have any other thoughts <or need any more > info.> I'd be happy to hear them. > > Ta, jmc. -- Thomas E.
