I'll have to try this out after I upgrade, but I suppose it's possible that it doesn't work for me for the same problem that RFC2047-encoded headers completely whack out my display, and multibyte characters sometimes spin the pager into an infinite loop from which only GDB can recover.

Alas! Erika Pacholleck spake thus: (I never learn how to find the number out quickly - yes, I know there is a list, but that one is really long :( ). Do a google search for something like RFC database, and you should find a search engine for RFCs, which is very handy.

I guess > they were some kind of HTML thing. You could use enriched text. It's documented in RFC 1563: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1563.txt It's HTML-like, without being HTML, and it could be what you've seen in Eudora. Eudora used to send enriched text when you applied styles, I think. Now it just sends HTML (badly), but it still can interpret enriched text (badly). This message is in enriched text. Here's some text in boldfaced type. Here's italic. You can also do formatting -- you can center text, and right-justify it, and align it evenly to both sides, although the line breaks get a little quirky. I suppose you need enough text to fill out at least two whole display lines to make this example work to any visible effect. Here's a little more noise, just to take up extra space for demonstration purposes. You can also do color: red text, and green text, and blue text -- all eight ANSI text colors are supported in mutt, at least. (Actually, I'm not entirely sure that mutt's enriched handler is handling this correctly. Colors and bold/italics work, but only with an external pager, not with the builtin pager. Left, center, and right alignments work in either, but full-flush alignment does not. Thomas, this seems like a bug, but this is the first time I've played with enriched text, and I could be off base. I'm using 1.3.24 at the moment.) Watch what happens if you resize your viewing window and re-display the message! All enriched text is flowed by default. I'm not sure what the best way to *create* enriched text is, though. Presumably you'd want some kind of graphicky editor, but I don't know squat about those. -- -D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] NSIT University of Chicago
