Thanks, Patrick, but the reason for my writing is that this approach 
(using the command fetchmail  /dev/null 21 did not work. 

It seems that if I run the command from a command prompt, it works: 
the fetchmail error or report is sent to the bit bucket. But if I run 
fetchmail with cron, the errors and reports end up being sent to mutt. 
It seems that cron is treating error messages and reports from 
fetchmail as ordinary messages rather than as errors. I suppose the 
answer might be to run fetchmail as daemon. I'll try that next.

filtering Cron fetchmail reports

[Haines Brown KB1GRM ET1]

I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but I've not found it. I run 
fetchmail with cron, and as a result, each time it runs there's a mail 
message from cron in mutt reporting what fetchmail did. It is a 
nuisance to have to delete all these messages, and so I'd like to 
avoid them.

Would running fetchmail as daemon have any effect?

Monte,

I have emacs use anti-term.

Re: wrap lines in a marked block of text (nano)

[Haines Brown KB1GRM ET1]

 The problem with your using nano is you not being satisfied with it's
 formatting abilities.  So, a different editor or ??

First, thanks for the various remarks, and I'm sorry I was not always 
clear. 

The bottom line, however comes here. Nano apparently cannot refill a 
block of marked text, and that was a formating ability I was hoping it 
had. 

 Your familiarity with emacs would probably make you happy with some form
 of:
   set editor=emacsclient %s

Actually, when I first migrated to mutt from RMAIL I used emacsclient, 
but my unfamiliarity with mutt led to some frustration and when I 
reinstalled Debian I left it at the default nano. Being unable to 
refill blocks of text is not a show stopper for me in nano, but since 
I'm more comfortable with emacs keybindings, I should probably head in 
that direction. 

Thanks again,

Haines
