The following should set the field width to twenty: Original
index_format = %4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l%4c?) %s
Modified
index_format = %4C %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20L (%?l?%4l%4c?) %s
Don't ask me why you need both numbers, all I know is that it related to
printf and right and left alignment.
May I suggest:
man mutt
man 3 printf
The last manpage should describe both numbers.
In the example,
20 is the minimum width for the field
(pads if data is short, overflows if data is longer)
.20 is the maximum number of chars to put in the field
(truncates longer data)
- left justifies within the field, omit to right justify

Hi Jon, In the example, 20 is the minimum width for the field (pads if data is short, overflows if data is longer) .20 is the maximum number of chars to put in the field (truncates longer data) - left justifies within the field, omit to right justify Thanks, having read the man page along with your guide I can now see what its referring to.

scoring top posters
Hello, I'm using scoring to mark, auto delete, ... certain mails I do not want to read. I'd like to auto-score top posters for the next mail. For the first mail it is not possible due to scoring is based on header lines. But the sender could be scored with -10 or -20 for the next mail... Any ideas how to implement this as automagically?

Is there any hook or crook by which I could read encrypted mail with mutt without my private key being installed on the host where mutt runs? Some agent forwarding magic, pretty please?
