Hello mutters, after using mutt more than three months now, I am very pleased with it. It does nearly everything I want it to (and every day a bit more).
One thing I haven't found out until today, was an automated way of finding maildir-style mailboxes. All solutions I found so far used mbox-style mailboxes. I tried it myself many times over the last months an today I finally found a solution and I want to share it: find $HOME/mail -path *cur -printf %P | sed 's/\/cur/ =/g;s/^/=/' That's it. Small and clean. Small explanation for those who do not speak sed as their native tongue (including myself, but using vim for some months as an editor sed slowly loses some of its mysteries .-) - start searching under $HOME/mail - look for "cur" in path - if found print path without $HOME/mail in front (%P) - sed looks for "/cur" and replaces it with " =" - now all mailboxes are correct prefixed inspite the first one - the second sed expression starting after ";" corrects that The full commandline for the muttrc: mailboxes `find ...` Any comments, suggestions and improvements greatly appreciated. -- BNCU Marcus
