I don't know what version of mutt you are using, but the 1.5 branch have handled this for as long as I can remember using it. It could be dependent on your OS version, terminal program or factors outside of mutt's control. Fedora 6 and later, mutt and any of gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt, rxvt-unicode, aterm, eterm or mlterm has worked fine for me. It would be interesting to know a bit more about your setup (and looking at the date, find out if this is a wind-up ;). -- Anders Rayner-Karlsson <and...@trudheim.co.uk> All-Round Linux Tinkerer, RHCE and PITA DeLuxe
