Rado - thanks so much for your response. Perhap you could elaborate on
which "sort*" variable will accomplish what I want. I currently define
my mailboxes as follows
mailboxes \
=FastMail/INBOX \
`cd ~/Maildir; \
find FastMail -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d \
! -name INBOX ! -name Trash ! -name sent !
-name Read ! -name Drafts \
-printf "+%p \n"|sort|tr -d '\n' `
This allows me to _always_ have FastMail/INBOX on top, followed by a
sorted, dynamically created listing. I looked in TFM, and the only
setting I "thought" might help was
set sort_browser=alpha
which does in fact sort the file browser alphabetically as wanted. But
it also sorts mailboxes alphabetically, which I don't want.
Thanks,
festus
