I've done some research on my Sarge machine. Previously, the feature was working under Woody, and Potato, but those installations no longer exist. 1) xterm does not have this feature. 2) Both Gnome terminal and Multi-Gnome terminal had the feature in Woody. 3) Multi-Gnome terminal seems to have a modified version of the feature, but there appears to be a bad interaction with some new featurs in Sarge, and it doesn't work. Or, maybe there is a bug that kills all these features. And, I can't find/install Gnome docs to study problem. 4) Gnome terminal has the feature in Sarge, but it invokes lynx as the browser. And, again, I can't access the Gnome User Docs to make it work with a more GUI browser. All Sarge results are with the same install of mutt. The functionality is definitely in the GUI, not in mutt. Now is not a good time to be debugging such issues. I hope times are better soon. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Strictly speaking, that's not necessarily so. Certain console applications, for example w3m and aptitude, respond to mouse clicks when run in an xterm, and can launch other X apps if they wish. It might be more precise to say "Certain ncurses applications" in favor of "Certain console applications", but I'm not sure if that qualifier is necessary. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin signature.asc Description: Digital signature
