My mistake, your example doesn't work for me. The reason is that -a accepts multiple attachments, so you need to specify -- before addresses: mutt -a file -- addr </dev/null Prior to http://dev.mutt.org/trac/changeset/31c9e9727d42 mutt would scan for a double-dash in the arguments, and would treat -a differently depending on whether the double-dash was found. This was error-prone and inconsistent on different operating systems. See http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3097 I hope we don't have to reinstate a hack to pre-detect the double-dash... Just digs us deeper into the mess of a polymorphic command-line. Aron
