so i turn my back for a coupla weeks and suddenly my debian-user mailbox is THIRTY-FIVE MEGABYTES. wow.
who's got a cool mutt sequence for purging -- or at least hilighting -- say, - small threads (big threads are often religious wars but can sometimes contain interesting points) - threads that have been partly read - messages older than a certain number of days suggestions? -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #83 from USM Bish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : GOT GIBBERISH? And wondering what to do next, to clear the mess? enter a blank line (making sure you've cleared your command-line buffer, since you're seeing gobbledy-gook) and then enter reset which is a symlink to /usr/bin/tset which is a portion of "ncurses-bin" package. ("apt-get install ncurses-bin") Also see "man tset" for more info. Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
