IIRC Mutt doesn't limit by the columns displayed in the view but defaults to limiting by From: and Subject: I think there is a configuration variable that allows you to change this. So even if the subject is blank l. should still show messages with a blank subject (assuming that From: is not blank) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I belive the limit command defaults to the "simple_search" parameter if you don't use any patterns, and the default simple_search searches the From: address and the Subject:, so both would have to be null. Regardless, it seems if a message has neither a From: or a Subject: header "l." still selects it. Even if I delete all headers and leave just a \n at the start of the message (don't try that with mbox). As does these: l!~s. l!~f. So it looks like dot is special. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anything you key will overwrite the old pattern automatically. I.E. just key l.

But press l, remove your old search pattern with C-a C-k, then put a . (pattern wich match anything...), and you have everything back. A shortcut for "unlimiting" would be nice, though. -- [simula.research laboratory] Ãsmund ÃdegÃrd IT-Manager phone: +4767828291 / +4790069915 http://www.simula.no

Wishlist bug has been filed. It's just a paradigm thing. It's like subtracting or adding negative numbers: they're the same thing. We have seperate words for the same operation as a grammatical convenience. I think it would be less elegant to introduce an additional keybinding for no good reason. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Ok, so there is no direct "remove filter" command, and a kludge is needed. Totally non-intuitive, but fair enough. Wishlist bug has been filed.
