Or remap your keyboard - personally I wish the BackSpace key to always send ^H, but many Linux default setups seem to make it send ^?. However, this is a much harder job.

Its not really a big deal. I just got used to using it before and still find myself in the habit of trying to use it. -- rich

newbie question on binding
i am currently running Mutt 1.4i (2002-05-29) on mandrake 8.2, with a muttrc created with the automated muttrc builder (http://mutt.netliberte.org/). When i am reading a message, in the pager if i am not mistaken, and i want to scroll up to the previous line i cannot using either the backspace key or the key which if i look in the help they are BOTH defined as previous-line. I have tried actually binding the keys while i am in mutt with the command :bind pager backspace previous-line the command doesnt return any errors but again it still doesnt work. I have tried setting it in my muttrc and that doesnt work either. Can anyone give me some insight on this? i have been lurking on the list for a little while and have seen nothing about this. Thanks in advance. -- rich
