     Hell! This hook is a great self-foot-shooter, a shiny FOBM (fixes
 one; breaks many). There is no really good way for us to fix Vladim=EDr's
 problem: Only Vladim=EDr himself can fix this breakage in his muttrc.
 
     Outside perhaps this workaround:
 
 | alias vladimirmarek  Vladim=EDr Marek <his-em@il>
 | set reverse_alias
 
     This fixes our index display. But I don't know if it will prevent
 your freeze. Probably not.
 
 
 Bye!   Alain.
