% Hey people.

% I'm mounting the same home directory on several *nix boxes at work, and
% there are a few options in my .muttrc that I'd like to be set depending on my
% platform. I can take the output of a uname -s in a script and control most
% options that way, but is there a built-in way for conditional options in my
% .muttrc?
Not really -- a mutt scripting language has been discussed many times
before, and may actually come to fruition one day -- but you can
reference shell environment variables in your muttrc file. At the very
least you could have your main muttrc include a
source $HOME/.mutt/muttrc-$MACHNAME
where you set MACHNAME in your .profile or .login; you might even be able
to directly use
source $HOME/.mutt/muttrc-`uname -n`
and skip the env var (but then run the uname command every time you read
your muttrc; you may be obsessive enough, as am I, to want to avoid that
extra few microseconds ;-)
