Thanks! 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 (2004-02-01)
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.
Eric
