I'm not in this fight, just trying to determine whether there's a technical problem with mutt, or a configuration issue at your end that we can help with. You wrote that there was no content after "... the mailing list manager send". That sounds as though mutt didn't display the whole line. It should, and it does for me. > I have pressed the space bar where I thought there was more content, but > instead have gone on to the next message.

From my .muttrc: ## Stop at end of messages (instead of moving on to next message)? set pager_stop > BTW, I wouldn't call them "medium-length lines", not when the line is > actually a paragraph.

"Long lines" is a common term for lines that exceed the RFC line limit of 999 characters -- i.e. a technical term in the context of discussing e-mail software. Jamie's lines were not long lines in that sense, so I needed another term. -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
