There probably isn't a > variable to control this. I remember way back when, when I still thought transparent *terms were cool, that running Mutt did strange things in one. Like it would paint parts of the window, and you could see the root pixmap through them, and other parts not. And it did trailing spaces then. I distinctly remember that because I thought it was really odd. Let's see... how old a Mutt do I have in /var/cache/apt/archives... No, only back to 1.5.4+20030913. What's on my testing box... no, no go there either. I'll have to grab something from Woody and see what happens. -- Marc Wilson | Here I am at the flea market but nobody is buying msw@cox.net | my urine sample bottles ...
