It's a pity that muttrc printf style format strings can't be expanded into bash variables - allowing the user to pass them to external scripts/programs. set $thisvariable="%f" set folder_format="`~/bin/myscript $thisvariable`" I was hoping to have an incredibly descriptive folder_format list, but my plans have been dashed by my little oversight. ;-) -- Lee J.
