I don't see any escapes in the manual. dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz mutt: /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz dpkg -l mutt ii mutt 1.3.28-2 Text-based mailreader supporting MIME, GPG, zcat < /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz | od -tx1 | grep -i 1b [...nothing...] But I *do* see reverse video highlighting of the bullet characters. The first I see are at section "1.2. Mailing Lists" where character 183 decimal is being used as a list bullet. Those show up as a reverse video '<B7>' (hex value) unless I use an iso8859 charset, in which case they show up as a dot. But I am running woody and you are probably running sid. I am guessing that the manual was reformatted and in the newer version the escape sequences have been added as you have been noting. Bob
