Actually, what I found was that ~/.Xdefaults has been deprecated for quite some years. Currently, ~/.Xresources is supported for user customizations. Beyond that, I continue to be stymied! When I logout of X, in my case kde, and logon again, the scroll wheel does work. After some intermittent time, usually the scroll behaviour _changes_ to scrolling the entire terminal window, rather than just the mail message, as is desired and is the initial behaviour. Then, sadder still, after some more intermittent time, the scroll behaviour *stops* entirely. I have not found any solution, nor further troubleshooting suggestions. Should you find a solution to this problem, please, post it for posterity . . . -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
