Hello time-traveller, Yes, via "set pager= ...". The manual has an example which sets it only for one mail folder: message-hook ~A 'set pager=builtin' message-hook '~f freshmeat-news' 'set pager="less \"+/^ subject: .*\""' Would you invoke "vim -R" or "view", to somewhat reduce the risk of corrupting received mail through finger fumbles? Hey, maildir format might have an advantage at last - the received mails could be owned by "mail", with write permission denied, but you could own the directory, so you can delete the files despite not owning them. There are such neat ways to do things on *nix. Erik
