My status line is at the top of the message. I am assuming we are referring to the same thing because at the bottom I don't have anything like that (and I can't find an option to configure it; correct me if I'm wrong). The default pager_format lacks the date and sender address (a name can be useful, but sometimes an E-mail is more distinct and/or unique). My default seems to be this: :set pager_format="-%Z- %C/%m: %-20.20n %s%* -- (%P)" Since I have relatively wide displays ordinarily I'm going to try the following for a while and see how I like it: :set pager_format="-%Z- %C/%m %e/%E %D %.20F <%.20a> %s%* -- (%P)" It's based on the default, but adds %e/%E (for thread position), %D (for the date in local time), and replaces %-20.20n (which is ordinarily the author's name) with %.20F <%.20a> (which is either the author's or recipients name, depending on context, followed by the the author's address in angle brackets[1]). [1] There doesn't seem to be a context sensitive option to switch between author and recipient. I wouldn't say it's ideal, and I may need to tweak my .muttrc on certain platforms (i.e., my EeePC, which I rarely use) in order to see the subject, but it will hopefully save me time scrolling. :) I'll have to try it out for a while to know if I like it, I guess. It might be nice for some long time mutt users to post their ideal pager_format. :) Regards, -- Brandon McCaig <bamcc...@gmail.com> <bamcc...@castopulence.org> Castopulence Software <https://www.castopulence.org/> Blog <http://www.bamccaig.com/> perl -E '$_=q{V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl. }. q{Vg qbrfa'\''g nyjnlf fbhaq gung jnl.}; tr/A-Ma-mN-Zn-z/N-Zn-zA-Ma-m/;say'
