What kind of Linux system do you (the original poster) have? I have
Red Hat 6.0 and there is a default muttrc in /etc/Muttrc. Mutt reads
that first, and then anything in the .muttrc in the user's home
directory, I believe. I think SuSE 6.1 puts one there, too. I don't
know about Slackware, Debian or the rest. You're welcome to my
.muttrc, although it's very boring: I took the /etc/Muttrc, copied it
to ~/.muttrc, took all the colours out, corrected all the spelling (!),
and commented it madly. I don't use pop or imap or the other things than
crop up on this list a lot, so it will probably be all wrong for those.
Doesn't mutt come with a sample muttrc, then? If not, then rather
than directing people at the really really big and impressive ones,
wouldn't it make sense to provide a small and simple one that doesn't
have all the really nifty stuff in, just for people to get started?
We have lots of nifty ones in the wonderfully up-to-date (:)) links
page off mutt.org; would a dead simple one be a good thing, too?
I am only now, after some months of messing with mutt, (and some
weeks of Tom explaining v-e-r-y carefully :)) beginning to
understand the big complicated muttrcs people have. I am not very
keen on some of the Red Hat 6.0 /etc/Muttrc, but it was handy that
it wasn't huge and fancy.
I have a not-too-far-from-simple muttrc if anyone wants it. Since
Tom Gilbert beat me to making lynx key-mappings for mutt (bah!),
my next stumbling block is the scoring. I have only found one sample
muttrc on the web with sorting by score, and I didn't fully follow
the scoring because I think the user had a different sort of mailbox
thing from me.
A very busy list with fairly constant things I looked for seemed
a good one to test on, so I have this at the moment.
folder-hook . set sort=threads
folder-hook IN.cvs-commits set sort=score
folder-hook IN.cvs-commits "score '~s gnome-terminal' 1"
folder-hook IN.cvs-commits "score '~s gnome-core' 1"
folder-hook IN.cvs-commits "score '~s desktop-docs' 1"
[etc]
This works fine, as far as it goes. Anything with those in the subject
are at the top of the index. However, I can't get the index_format to
show the score, and I can't get ~B to go in the scoring where the ~s is,
which I hoped would make it so that anything at all referring to
gnome-terminal gets bumped up the list.
Any suggestions? Either on scoring by what's in the message body, or on
getting the score to go to the left of the message number on the screen?
My current index_format is,
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15F (%4l) %s"
Here's hoping. Thanks.
