Heh :-)

No, anything is better dressed than the crimson fedora ;-)

10?  Hah.  Small potatoes; I kick off that many in my screenrc just to
get started.  I'm currently at 28, though just a few hours ago I was at
34 :-)


% like this since i can connect to it from just about anywhere (and i usually

Absolutely.  Same here :-)  And -x is your friend, too!

That's where we part ways...  I have my 28 80-col terms here and my dozen
or so 132-col terms in a different window -- plus other windows with or
without screen running locally :-)


% seperate/split these screens into the one window? - getting offtopic here) 

I don't think so; it's a one-in-front kind of thing.  You could check the

Indeed.  This is one of my favorite places.  [Any of the DJB lists, on
the other hand, while enormously valuable, are not nearly as friendly.]

playing

Heh :-)  Remember to set aside time to eat; it'll suck you in!


% 
% still wondering what all this does:
% set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L %?M?(#%03M)&(%4l)? %s"

Well, dissect it piece by piece:

  %4C
  %Z
  %
    %b
    %d
  %-15.15L
  %?M
    (#%03M)
    (%4l)
  %s

Now look up those pieces in the manual :-)


% 
% i have some blank area's on every message (_,0) -- i am wondering if this 
might

% messages don't appear to have a subject either (or does that just mean it's 
the

Dunno; show an example or two :-)
