Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've submitted a bug report to ensure that this is changed in MH-E. Can you please clarify the location of the colon? Your update to the manual says this: > + Enter value (default 42): However, "C-x b (switch-to-buffer)" for example shows this: "Switch to buffer: (default foo) " -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
