Something I've been wondering lately...
Is the above proper quoting? That is, are the backslashes correct?
Doubtless the intent is to quote the '.' characters so that they are
interpreted as literal dots. But as I understand Mutt's quoting
algorithm, the first pass of Mutt reading the .muttrc file will remove
the backslashes, making the regexp come out essentially to
"brian@(darkstar.)?brie.com", which will probably work, but is
technically incorrect.
So what is really needed is this, right?
set alternates=brian@(darkstar\\.)?brie\\.com
Or this?
set alternates='brian@(darkstar\.)?brie\.com'
