Thanks for the quick reply. list-charset-chars shows the arrow chars correctly, which pointed out to me that I cut/pasted your original post incorrectly... Oops. So, fixing that, I get your tree display nicely on an X emacs window. Thanks. Of course, now that it works, I want it to be different...;) I (think I) want it to look like: mark score [Author] Subject |---> Author 2 |-->Author 3 |---> Author 4 A quick look at the manual doesn't seem to show how to do this, though. The %B mark constructs the arrows together with the subject field, so if I just do "...%B%f I get the followup lines the way I want them, but the first line will be "Subject Author" instead of "Author Subject". Is there a way to control the construction of the %B variable, or to just get the "tree components" of the variable (without the subject on the first article of a thread?)
