The value of "alternates" is a regex.
Here's mine as an example:
set alternates=
(sven|guckes)(-[a-z]*)?@
.*(\\.fu-berlin.de|slrn.org|vim.org|
gmx.net|gmx.de|usa.net|guckes.net)|
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(Yes, this is one line, of course. ;-)
The part "(-[a-z]*)?" describes an *optional*
extension to the address before the '@',
eg as in "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
This should catch most of my addresses:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] my very private address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] free email addresses used for..
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ..making contact with me
[EMAIL PROTECTED] my main address for slrn stuff (new!)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] my main address for vi and vim stuff
[EMAIL PROTECTED] my main address at the university
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and some of my specialized..
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ..addresses used for filtering
[EMAIL PROTECTED] my evil twin on comp.mail.pine
My complete setup is visible (as usual) on
http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/setup/#mutt
Btw, mutt would be a LOT more useful for many people
if there was an additional flag for your work addresses.
Example: set [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"Work mails" would then show up with a 'W'
and would be selectable with "~W".
Then you can easily focus on your work stuff
looking at new work mails with command ",W":
macro index ,W "l~N ~W\n"
One more for the wishlist, I guess.
