ok, got it, thanks for your help. For what it's worth, I totally understand and agree about the line wrapping issue and the quote trimming, and everything else that was discussed yesterday with regards to mailing list netiquette. I've just not come across this issue with my editor/mail on other lists where many users don't use or seem to care much about line wrapping, although the other stuff is picked up on quickly. I will ensure that all mail to mutt-users from now is line-wrapped at 72 columns. Thanks for the comments/guidance/advice. Best wishes, Jamie.
