Oh, do I wish it were that simple.... Made the change, as you show and
VT5 wtopa-Buddy:~$ mutt
Error in /home/wtopa/.muttrc, line 62: ispell=aspell -e -c: unknown command
and after putting the set back in and running 'mutt 2>mutt.err', replying to a
msg and hitting 'i' in the compose screen, screen jumps, no error message, then
quitting.
VT4 wtopa-Buddy:~$ less mutt.err
mutt.err: No such file or directory
which tells me that mutt just didn't throw an error.
I hadn't thought about directing the error messages, thanks for that!
I am back to square one again.
BTW all the references I found (many) all had the 'set' in the statement.
Thanks for the try tho Brad.
