Ok, elm user converting to mutt...running usually on Solaris.

some of my email contains form feeds, output from "amanda" mostly.
elm would paint the page from the top of the window when I hit a <FF>
and mutt is displaying the control character for me.

How to I get mutt to interpret rather than display imbedded control characters ?

thanks,

Brian

Define a $pager that interprets the imbedded control characters. See
section 6.3 of the manual.
