Wouldn't it be better to set from= always, and merely omit the subscribe command for non-lists? That way, if you switch _from_ a lists.* folder into a non-lists folder your from= will be repaired for non-list use. i.e. replace "set wait_key" with "set from=your-core-address". I think that I rely on the "alternates" setting to control my fromness. (Except that I see there's a "set from=" in my config too. I shall have to check which one wins.) my own folder config script is here: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/cs-mutt-per-folder It produces (pre the newline->semicolon conversion) output like this: set my_folder_delete='/home/cameron/mail/O/mutt' unhook save-hook; save-hook . "$my_folder_delete" This is because I map 'd' to: <copy-message>+ham<enter><save-message><enter> Copy message to +ham, which is processed regularly to update bogofilter stats, then save-message into the folder's archive folder. "O" is a symlink to "OLD/YYYY" where YYYY is this year. Anyway, many thanks for the code simplification!
