Re: one strange problem in mutt
i have upgrade to mutt-1.5.6i, when start mutt
/home/tar/.muttrc 发生错误，行号 151：alternates：不明的变量
source：错误发生在 /home/tar/.muttrc
in .muttrc
set
alternates="byu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx|byu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|yubingemail@xxxxxxx|debnbyu@xxxxxxxxxxx"
alternates in mutt.1.3.x is fine.
even so, mutt.1.5.6 can not autoview attachment.
