sorry to reply to my own message, but i think i may have figured it out.
ls -al $HOME/mail/* |awk '{print $9}' |grep -v sent
produces
/home/user/mail/inbox
/home/user/mail/mutt-users
and so on. is there any reason that i couldn't replace the echo command with the ls
-al one for my mailboxes directive in .muttrc?
