Heh. Not on that computer. My mail's been down so I had to borrow one.
I can't find out how to set line wrap on Mutt.

It doesn't do anything. ½°¹ÿŸžI did finally get it going. I found the refresh rates on the
IBM web site.
Hrumph... Mutt and I just don't get along.
As I was saying before Mutt went nuts; I found the monitor refresh rates on the
IBM home page. I tweaked some other things, and it's working now. I can't
get the resolution above 1152x864. Actually that's what I had it set on the
Red Hat box, but at the same resolution everything shows larger on the Debian
install.

Yes. I had the wrong driver. Apparently Logitech with a mouse wheel
takes the Microsoft imps2 driver. It's working fine now.

Ok. How do I map users to virtual domains? Sendmail lets you do that through
a virtusertable file in the format:
me@mydomain username
you@yourdomain your-other@email.address.com
