FYI The developer of Mutt is, I believe, Michael Elkins. He is also a regular poster on the mutt-us...@mutt.org mailing list. My attitude towards Mutt and its setting up is conflicted. On the one hand, I have never made any serious progress on using any other MUA althougn I have had several bursts of serious effort. On the other hand, I find the documentation of Mutt difficult to follow. E.G. I find this little exchange of emails dificult to follow. Apparently you have gotten something working that previously you had been unable to configure. What exactly, I'm not sure, but I'm happy for you. For me, being puzzled by Mutt configuration is part of the human condition ;^) > certainly added evidence to my claim, made in a different E-mail, > that E-mail, the killer app, is by no means a piece of cake to > set up correctly. > > Anyway, many thanks, and I'll pass this along to the mutt E-list. > > Greetings to all! > > Alan McConnell, in Silver Spring MD > > -- > Alan McConnell : http://patriot.net/users/alan > Know thyself.
