With gratefulness an admiration i studied this manual-worthy explanation! It helps me (and i guess other people, too) more than just reading the manual because in the latter you get lost if you don't know where it all fits in the general theme of mutt-usage. Now I knew where to start my inquiry: simple patterns. Remarks: > ...

In the manual though they call it "pattern-modifiers". I couldn't find the term [Mm]atch[_-][tT]ype[_-][Ss]pecifier And Simple patterns seem to be specifically associated with certain keywords replacing "~,%,=" expressions. Isn't that a contradiction? But apart from this little unclarity on my side i understood all (and tried out most) of what was explained. > I know that's a lot of information all at once, but is that about what > you were looking for? yes, thank you again.
