I other words, would mutt, and other console apps have trouble formatting mail designed for 80x25? It would be like running mutt or emacs in a terminal then making the window full screen - ugly, to say the least! Perhaps mutt is smarter than this and can get the screen resolution, idonno, but what about other fullscreen console apps you use that are designed for 80x25? jay -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
