I tend be obsessive with keeping my home directory clean and avoiding many hidden files there. For this purpose, I put all my mutt configuration files (including certificates of IMAPS servers and aliases files) under a directory called .mutt (which mutt reads automatically). Works fine here for organizing my home directory. > you need to make a $HOME/.msmtprc file too, > see the manpage and examples in /usr/share/doc/msmtp Yes, it is quite easy to use msmtp, with various accounts. Something that I miss from MacOS X is how to tell the mail system my "location", changing everything from nameservers to IP address to mail relays. Doing it manually changing loads of files is a PITA. -- Learn to quote e-mails decently at: http://pub.tsn.dk/how-to-quote.php http://learn.to/quote http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/toppost.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
