Try sorting by Subject.  That's why [UFO Chicago] is in there, for sorting.  It doesn't eliminate dupes, but it does file them
correctly.

BTW, I just wiped maverick's hard disk (except for /home) and installed Debian Friday night (two machines down, one to go).  With that
I decided to switch to mutt from pine in part because it's such a PITA to get pine for Debian.  I'm slowly getting used to it but I
have some lingering questions...

1) My procmailrc suddenly stopped sorting my mail....  WTF?!?!?!? It all goes in my inbox now.  I expect that this probably isn't
related to mutt, but what the hell, it's b0rken and I'm stumped.  My old mail chain on this box was sendmail -> procmail -> various
inboxes.  The current mail chain is postfix -> procmail -> spool.

2) How do I set the line wrap?  My lines are going all the way to the edge of my xterm (probably about 140 chars +/- 15) in the
editor.  I have no idea how mutt normally does things.  Note: the editor in question is nano, not vim.

Might as well.  Although it probably wouldn't be as annoying with a proper procmailrc (as if I'm one to talk about having a proper
procmailrc :)
