filter besides reopening the mailbox?  The simpler way would be
'l'+Enter, but it does not work.  I had a look in the '?' list of
all keybindings, but found nothing.
   
   Did you try C-g yet?  C-g cancels in just about any program...
 
  C-g will not work, I think.
 
  But press l, remove your old search pattern with C-a C-k, 
 then put a .
  (pattern wich match anything...), and you have everything back. 
 
  A shortcut for unlimiting would be nice, though.
 

You don't need to do C-a C-k to remove the old pattern. Anything
you key will overwrite the old pattern automatically.

I.E. just key l.ENTER

 Strictly speaking '.' doesn't match ''.  Better use '.*' if 
 you really 
 mean everything.  Suppose your view displays only subject line, and 
 the subject is blank.

IIRC Mutt doesn't limit by the columns displayed in the view but defaults
to limiting by From: and Subject: I think there is a configuration
variable that allows you to change this. So even if the subject is blank
l.ENTER should still show messages with a blank subject (assuming that
From: is not blank)

  In the Microsoft Windows world, one has to use the shift key to
  disable the caps lock mode
 
 I'm writing this on a Windows 2000 box, and I have to hit caps lock
 again to disable it. What version of Windows has this functionality?
 

None that I know of but the old IBM 5250 terminals (used on their Mini
computer series System/34, System/36, System/38 and AS400) used to work this
way. Its possible that he is using some 5250 emulation software.

Where to go from here

2001-08-03 Thread Colin Bell



Okay,

I have been trying to get a usefulDebian 
unstallationupfor about 5 weeks now. I can get the base system 
installed but then where do I look for new packages (the iso image contains next 
to nothing from what I can tell)? I don't know what to set in the 
/etc/apt/sources.list file. I probably have missed something in some of 
the documents but the dselect-beginners guide doesn't tell you much of 
anything. I'm looking to find xfree86-4.0.*, kde-2.2 and Mozilla or 
netscape. I guess I could build the whole system from source but I figure 
there has to be a way or all the debian developers are just wasting their 
time.

When I state in the sources.list file that apt can 
look in the unstable tree it seems to automatically tell itself to remove a 
whole bunch of packages. I'm really getting bitter. I know I could 
just go to Redhat and grab that and install it but this is a labour of 
love. I see the power of apt and dselect I just don't know how to harness 
it. Maybe I'm just supposed to grab single debs off the net, I don't 
know.

Any help or direction (maybe there is a better 
dselect guide) would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Colin
