In summary: limit "repl" doesn't find a message whose subject is "replication". Other patterns work just fine. Hopefully I've managed to reduce this to a nice simple reproducible test case. mutt 1.5.15+20070412-1ubuntu1, using the attached test file. The test file contains a single message with "Subject: replication". mutt -n -F /dev/null -f ./repltest After answering "no" to the "create ~/Mail?" question, the one and only message is shown. So far so good. If I type "<limit>repl\n", the message is *not* shown, when as far as I can tell it should be. Whereas with all these other patterns, the message *is* shown: <limit>repl.\n <limit>re.l\n <limit>~f repl | ~s repl\n <limit>~s repl\n It seems that somehow the exact pattern 'repl' is different. Any ideas? -- Dave Evans http://djce.org.uk/ http://djce.org.uk/pgpkey
