Thanks to Gary Johnson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), my problem is solved
perfectly with his mail-to-filter2 perl code.
1. Add
set display_filter=mail-to-filter
to .muttrc
2. Save
http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/mail-to-filter2
as mail-to-filter. (Do not forget to chmod +x )
Done. Long cc/to list are replaced by
[<lines> lines deleted]
and I can always see the original header with h command.
