Well, I use a script to load mutt anyway. "m" for default mail operations, and "gm" for gmail, which takes special handling and another configuration file. It wouldn't be much to write: #!/bin/sh # Load speakup's mutt configuration /usr/bin/speakupconf load --config ~/.speakup/mutt # Execute mutt for gmail /usr/bin/mutt -F ~/.mutt/muttrc.gmail # Reload speakup's default configuration /usr/bin/speakupconf load --config ~/.speakup/speakup Like I said, I tend to do one thing at a time, so being able to load up a special speakup configuration for a particular piece of software would save on keypresses, but speakupconf lacks the functionality for it. Man pages are another example of where I like to crank up the punctuation reading levels, or would want the option to have them cranked up for me automatically. Michael
