please read the manual carefully: 3.5. Setting variables based upon mailbox folder-hook [!]regexp command it says "command" - so this is *one* parameter while set sendmail=.. -oem oi are *four* parameters. see? so this should work: folder-hook -List 'set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"' (the ".*" is superfluous here.) same goes for adding a subject on the command line: mutt -s 'this is a subject line' sveng mutt -s this is a subject line sveng the first sends a mail to sveng with subject Subject: this is a subject line To: sveng while the second sends Subject: this To: sveng, is, a, subject, line all clear now?
