Roger, et al -- ...and then Roger Espasa said... % % Hi all,
Hello! % ... % In ELM, you could define an alias such as: % % equip = Equipment Mgmt Folder = admin/equipment ... % % In MUTT, it seems that when the alias is expanded, it's % being sanitized by some routine, which translates it into % % $FOLDER/admin_equip % % % So, my questions are: % % % 1) Is there an alternative way to accomplish what I want? % (i.e., defining short aliases for folders that are in % a subdirectory of my main folder directory?) I like symlinks, personally. My subfolders are all =D.*, and I have a symlink for my brother in $HOME/Mail that points to =D.family/michaelg so that I don't have to tell mutt anything and yet it all gets categorized nicely. This is most helpful for work stuff; although I have some very generic fcc fules in my muttrc (domain-based matching pointing to %O in the proper subdirectory), I also make some symlinks for things that don't fit neatly into those simple rules. % % 2) Looking at the source, routine 'mutt_safe_path' in muttlib.c % seems responsible for this slash-into-blank change. This % routine is only ivoked from hook.c. What is the reasoning % behind this cleaning up process? Can I just remove it? IIRC this is because of the possibility of accidentally interpreting hostile code. There *might* be a configure option to not change / to _ somewhere; I haven't played with it. You could check the mutt-users archives to confirm my recollection, though... % % % Thanks, HTH & HAND % % roger. :-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!
