I'm sorry I've taken so long to get back to this. It was an especially busy day of real work.

However, when I point my browser to that URL, it reports Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~dgc/sw/mutt/patch-1.5.16.dgc.softfill.1 on this server. Apache/1.3.27 Server at home.uchicago.edu Port 80 Would you please take a look at the permissions on that file? I commonly run mutt in three different terminal widths, so Maxime's proposal is also a possibility, but I would have to change the behavior of the 'pager_format' I had been using, which was set pager_format="%4C %Z %[!%b %e at %I:%M %p] %.20n %s" Note that both the name and subject fields have varying widths. I would have to make them both fixed and lose the ability to exchange name width for subject width. Thank you all for your help. Regards, Gary
