Hello,
After five years of intensive mutt use I finally started using scoring
(especially since applying that wonderful nntp patch ;).
I only have a small problem with the escaping rules and syntax of the
"score" commands in my .muttc:
folder-hook . unscore
## assign a positive score to all messages
folder-hook . score ~A 10
## kill lame posts from mailing lists
folder-hook =[a-z] score ~s'(newbie\\|(un)?subscribe\\|no\\\ subject\\|your\\\
mail)' -10
folder-hook =[a-z] score ~s'^\\\ *(test\\|(re:\\\ )?help\\|)\\\ *$' -10
1) After trial and error I finally understood that spaces must be escaped
by three (!) backslashes. Is there a better way? I tried using "" but
then mutt complains about "unmatched ( or \"
2) How can I cure the leaning-toothpick syndrome in these recipes?
3) Also I couldn't manage to AND or OR together several pattern matches
in one score argument, mutt complains of "score: too many arguments"
All in all I'd like to better understand how quoting works in the
.muttrc.
4) When trying to match folders from my ~/Mail directory starting with a
lowercase alphabetic character, is this the proper way?
folder-hook =[a-z]
It seems the match is case insensitive, but [:lower:] doesn't work
there.
Thanks in advance for your help, cheers,

Yeah, aren't they wonderful? I'm worried about the worldwide depletion of the
amphibian populations, though. ;-)
