Due to size restrictions, I read my e-mail with mutt on a 26x80
terminal.
I've found that setting pager_index_lines=6 gives me a very practical
ratio between the index and the body of the e-mail being read.
However, there are many times when I want to have the mail in full
screen, and then go back to pager_index_lines=6 when I'm done.
I've solved this by setting this in the .muttrc:
-----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-----
set pager_index_lines=6
macro pager z ":source ~/.muttrc_z0\n"
-----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-----
And defining these two files:
~/.muttrc_z0
-----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-----
set pager_index_lines=0
macro pager z ":source ~/.muttrc_z6\n"
-----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-----
~/.muttrc_z6
-----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-----
set pager_index_lines=6
macro pager z ":source ~/.muttrc_z0\n"
-----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-----
but I don't think this is elegant enough. Is there a better way to do
this?
ALSO:
There are many instances where I have a folder with a single e-mail.
In this case, the pager_index is useless and takes up two lines of the
screen. I have to press the 'z' key to get rid of it manually... and I
think it'd be better if mutt would detect this situation
automagically. It could be settable as an option called
"force_clear_pager_index" (or something like that), with a numeric
value N. It the folder being read contains N or less messages,
pager_index_lines is forced to 0.
Just in case, I'm using: Mutt 1.2.5i (2000-07-28)
