Thanks for the quick reply, but less does not support the characters in
question either. 

more do, but is does not do any syntax highlighting, e.g. colour quoted
text and stuff like that that I feel that I "need". view (the vim
read-only mode) does this, but then I have to exit every message I read
with ":q" and that get a bit tedious. 

I also like to have a few lines of the message list that mutt's internal
pager allows for. I like to be able to just press tab (next-unread) and
get moved down the message list whilst the corresponding message shows
up in the pager window. 

Regards,
Stig
