- I'm using OpenWindows 3.0 and would like to know if there is a way to change
- the format of the summary displayed in mailtool. The problem I have is that
- it's not in fixed columns. If the number of characters in the sender's address
- is greater than about 18 characters the rest of the line gets pushed to the
- right. I find this bothersome when trying to scan down a long list of message
- subjects. I've been using VM from within EPOCH because of this. VM allows me
- to use a format string similar to that used by printf() to control the number
- of characters in any displayed field.
-
- If someone knows of a way to do the same thing in mailtool, I would greatly
- appreciate hearing about it.

- Phil
