You *did* miss something, I believe :^) from an open terminal in mutt, type the following : will give you a command line at the bottome of the window set ?alias_file will provide the config that mutt is using I believe that you have set your config file to an abnormal location, ~/.mutt/muttrc, and nameing convention. Mutt looks for its configuration at: ~/.muttrc and the file name is: .muttrc it is documented: search for .muttrc in "man mutt" try starting mutt from the command-line as: mutt -F ~/.mutt/muttrc this should act as you expect. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
