Sorry I can't suggest anything more useful on this > problem ... > > -- > Regards, > Mick Hi Mick, I switched from mrxvt, which gets screwed up when compiled from svn (the only source for a mrxvt, which a part of unicode support) and confronted then with some key combos like CTRL-SHIFT-UPARROW, to urxvt, which understands unicode fully, but has "only" a basic tabbed support. This fixes the locks. For the other problem, the arrows in threads, I instructed mutt to use ASCII-symbols like +-> or \-> instead, which looks a little retro, but may be this will correspond to the IBM Model M keyboard I use (and like so much ;). It just like being retro-progressive: Take the best of both worlds: Run a AMD-hexacore-PC, use Gentoo with openbox, avoid graphically gimmicks (no punt intended!), avoid using the mouse, get used to use vim, sed, awk, col, cmp, diff, join, uniq, fmt and such to their full power and do all this with a 20 year old keyboard, which looks like new. ;) Its feeling like MyGyver inventing the IT-industry from a soldering iron, a 80x40 charakter terminal and a 386 processor, hahahahaha! All this not really meant /THAT/ seriously... :) Best regards and have a nice "whatever time of the day you currently may have" . mcc
