> Can I somehow write a macro, which starts a shell command with the currently > selected Mailbox as argument? Well, I can get you started on that anyway. With the help of Kyle Wheeler and Patrick Shanahan, we have a way to get the currently selected mailbox into a mutt variable, like so:
folder-hook . "set my_oldrecord=\$record" folder-hook . "set record=^" folder-hook . "set my_curdir=\$record" folder-hook . "set record=\$my_oldrecord" This method hijacks the special functionality of $record to interpret the "^", which contains the name of the current mailbox, while still preserving $record. $my_curdir ends up with the full path of the mailbox, set when you change into that mailbox. As yet I don't know how to pass a mutt variable as the argument to a shell command. I had a post to the mailing list asking how to do this but never got any responses, and haven't had time since then to follow up. I am quite interested in how to do this, however. So I guess that makes this post half helpful and half "me too!". Cheers, -- Noah Sheppard Assistant Computer Resource Manager Taylor University CSE Department nshep...@cse.taylor.edu
