Pardon me for jumping in here, but if mutt isn't smart enough to automatically use In-Reply-To: and/or References: headers on replies? Or likes to add extra Re: (IE: Re: Re: Re:) to the subject header line? {All of which is news to me BTW...} Then I gotta ask, "why use it?"
It *does* add In-Reply-To and References by default. It does *not* add extra "Re:"s if one is already present. (It *does*, however, add "Re:" if it has not been added yet; *all* mail programs do that.)
+1 Also, @ Joe Philbrook Firstly, Alpine isn't maintained anymore. Secondly, mutt is much more configurable and more help is available for it on the net. Before using mutt, i had tried alpine, but didn't like it much (mainly because text based mail interfaces were new and strange to me, due to switching from gmail's interface). But, then i found that it wasn't being developed anymore, and i don't like to use outdated software, especially which require interaction with the internet. Configuring mutt was a pain, but well worth it. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
