In mutt-speak (woof?), <create-alias> is a "function" (something normally executed by a keystroke), not a "command" (like stuff in muttrc). push is a "command" that executes a "function". So the valid syntax is: :<command> :push <function> but not :<function> If you look in the manual, you'll see in section 6 there are separate sections for commands and functions. Does that make any sense? -Nelson
