In most cases, I've already read the previous messages, so I'd rather not have to scroll through them yet again to get to the new, juicy bits. If the quoted portion is adequately snipped, however, it works just fine. I'm a recent mutt convert (from Outlook) and the ability to hide quoted text by simply hitting <shift-t> is a beautiful thing. -- Jack Baty Fusionary Media - http://www.fusionary.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
