what is way too big? the fonts and icons? that means your screen
resolution got messed with. oh turkey...

it's the new ssh. make sure you have the following two lines uncommented
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PrintMotd no
PrintLastLog no

(~/.mutt/rc.pgp was my way to breaking the .muttrc up into smaller bits.
so *everything* concerning mutt lives in ~/.mutt, and ~/.muttrc is a

it's in Muttrc? mh. comment the line in rc.pgp, it's an old option that
isn't supported by mutt no more. and you must have somehow prevented
dpkg from replacing /etc/Muttrc. just comment it there too for now, i'll
send you the right one privately.
