Well now that Mr. Muenster kindly indicated the solution .. I was able
to google for more info - using "mutt alternative_order" as keywords --
and take a look at the fine manual, naturally and I do realize that my
alternative_order
.. in my .muttrc is probably not going to be quite as flexible as it
should be.
One great feature of mutt is that you can usually experiment
interactively with new settings while in mutt, but I'll be damned if I
can figure out how to issue these.
I tried
:?alternative_order
:alternative_order ?
.. to query the default settings before I added the command to my
.muttrc and restarted mutt and was never able to get this to work.
No big deal but I'm obviously missing something.
Thanks!
