Re: invalid preceding regular expression
Darren, Thanks for the reply. I'd given up hope on this one! I tried going in and explicitly setting the mask, but that did not resolve the issue. I'll try compiling from source next time I get some time and see what goes on when I do that. Once again, thanks for the reply.

Check your .muttrc for the value of mask, and also check the defaults in /usr/etc/Muttrc. Finally, build mutt from source, to make sure that there are reasonable defaults; RPM versions of some software can be a little, um, idiosyncratic. -- Stand Fast, rhacer.

I thought I would send this again, since there were no takers the first time. Hi all, I just changed boxes, copied my home directory to the new box, fired up mutt and things seem to be working well.
