Not that much clearer unfortunately. It isn't your fault, what
you wrote would be clear to someone who better understand mutt, or
wasn't so tired. I've been banging away on mutt since early early early
this morning and I'm about seeing double now. I'll re-read what you
wrote after dinner to see if walking away from my terminal for an hour
or so makes a difference.
Thanks for the response and explanation!!!!!
Kind Regards & thanks,
