I figured that out (mostly) from reading the manual. I just have one problem with it... Mutt tells me it has a error when it sources a .muttrc file that has ANY mention of alternates. Even this: set alternates="" causes the error. I'm running Mutt 1.5.6i (2004年02月01日) Possibly I can get a later RPM from SuSE or rpmfind.net. I'll report back if I can (or cannot) solve it. Thanks again. Merry Christmas to all.
