I forgot the my_hdr issue. This line: my_hdr "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=usascii; format-flowed"
results in this from from mutt at startup: Error in /Users/cameron/rc/mutt/settings, line 129: charset=usascii: unknown command So it appears that I can't use a semicolon in my_hdr? Not that it would help me, since mutt seems to eat that header anyway :-( Cheers, Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au>
