I was only able to find it for you quickly because I modified mine a long time ago to show current time, as well as current user and directory.

I believe there's an irc channel where mutt developers hang out. You might want to ask there. I believe you can get the server and channel info from the on line mutt documentation pages. All I can tell you is that I don't have that problem here. However, I am using the default mutt file for aliases, ~/.mutt_aliases > > I've been reading man pages and documentation all day. > hth!
