I never keep mail locally. I read mail from the imap server from about
a hundred different places, and I need to keep everything central.
Anything stored locally is effectively lost :)

Aaah, I see. So here's the thing:
1. I want folder={maggie.automagic.org}INBOX when I do a "c" to change
folders;
2. I want folder=~ when I do an "a" to add an attachment to a message.
I had a brief moment of clarity and tried this:
macro index c ":set folder={maggie.automagic.org}INBOX^M:change-folder^M"
macro index <esc>c ":set folder={maggie.automagic.org}INBOX^M:change-folder-readonly^M"
macro compose a ":set folder=~^M:attach-file"
but it doesn't seem to work (:change-folder isn't something that mutt
seems to understand). Anybody give me a hand?
Thanks :)
Joe
