That makes sense. % too. My routine is, I email someone, I Fcc to that someone _own_ file. I % receive email into that someone _own_ file as well. So, when I Fcc, it gets Ah. I get it. I let mail from people come into my mailbox (ie !) and mail from lists go into special folders (eg =F.mutt), so my fcc to the person's folder (eg =davidtg) or the mailing list's folder (eg =mutt-users) doesn't collide. % me new email notification, which is partially true, because the file got % changed, but it is my own outgoing mail. I need notification on the same % file for _real_ incoming mails though. I use mbox. Yeah. Good luck :-) % % Perhaps if I could get Mutt to check for 'Received:' headers to fire up the % new email notification... Fcc:'s lack of such headers... Since mutt doesn't look inside but only looks at timestamps you're pretty much out of luck there. If you want to keep something that looks fairly similar, all I can whip up at the moment is to fcc into =archive/user and then you get to periodically move things from =user to =archive/user and bring them together as you keep your working mailbox pruned... Not great if you plan to go back to your own message, say to reply to yourself, but at least you'd get rid of the timestamp problem. A other option, I suppose, would be to quit using an fcc at all and use a sendmail wrapper to write the copy and then update the access time so that mutt doesn't see it -- but then what happens if new mail is coming in at the same time (assuming you have locking also worked out, which ain't too tough) and your access times match to the second? % % Cheers, % % -- % David Collantes - http://www.bus.ucf.edu/david/ % College of Business Administration, University of Central Florida % "I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details." % HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
