Hello, I try to tell my muttrc to use different attribute strings in replies in different mailboxes (mbox-format):
# begin .muttrc-entry: # attribute string set attribution="%n schrieb vor kurzem:" # # attribute string for mbox mutt-users: folder-hook mutt-users set attribution="%n wrote on %d:" # end When I change into mutt-users folder I get an error-message telling me that "wrote" is an unknown variable. BUT using # folder-hook mutt-users set attribution="%n:" # instead, works! I read TFM and reckoned it might have to do with not defining a default. (and in fact coming back to the inbox the attribute string is still the one defined for the mutt-users box.) But entering: # folder-hook . set attribution="%n schrieb vor kurzem" # did not help. Now mutt complains about "schrieb" as unknown variable. EVEN when i open the mutt-users box where I expect it to complain about "wrote". If I now disable the original "set attribution="%n schrieb vor kurzem"-entry i get the expected complaint about "wrote" as invalid variable. What am i missing out on? jan HINT: I posted about my encoding problems before. Maybe that problem is related because if I put a german UMLAUT into the attribution-string for example set attribution="%n schieb kürzlich" I have crumbled up umlauts in my reply mails!
