No it doesn't; use uncolor, then enter the rules in the correct order. I'm well aware doing that would be dumb, but it IS possible. It would be far more sensible to just restart Mutt with the updated config, which is what any reasonable person would do, and which is necessary in any case to make the change permanent. This is such an uncommon case that considering it seems silly, but regardless, it's false. > Currently, my header color settings do not depend on any order as they > are mutually exclusive That's possible, if your rules are very carefully crafted; but it's not generally true as Mutt's regex rules are inherently ordered, and if it is true in your case it is specific to your rules, not Mutt's functionality generally. But it's irrelevant; the config language not having the precise semantics you personally prefer does not change the fact that you STILL CAN achieve the same result without the default keyword.

That's not what I'm saying. # apply a default folder hook folder-hook . set x=foo # other folders folder-hook work set x=bar folder-hook ice-cream set x=baz ... The . rule must come first. There is no default folder-hook. The necessity of ordering has precedence in Mutt and is inherent in any case. And yes, ice cream definitely deserves its own mail folder. =8^) I've had my fill of this pointless argument. Especially pointless since I'm not actually advocating removing it. -- Derek D.
