Kyle Wheeler: |The indent_string is, like many of mutt's other strings, possible to |set automatically with a program if it ends with a pipe character...What |you need to do to get what you want is to escape the pipe (unfortunately, |twice), so that it isn't recognized as indicating that the setting should |come from a program. I put this in my config, and it worked: | | set indent_string=" \\|" Perfect -- thanks! Randall
