iianm, you do need the "dot" line above, but only once as the first folder-hook. Once mutt sets a vairable, that var remains set untill it is set again. The "dot" matches all cases and comming first will be the default unless your "special" case is matched. Note: there are a couple of exceptions to this "dot" line being defined first but they don't immediately come to mind, check the fine manual for hooks. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
