I am still attempting to configure things to my preference. I have currently in my .muttrc: set index_format = "%4C %Z %[%b %d %R] %-15.15n (%X) %s" macro index,pager R "<enter-command>set index_format='%4C %Z %[%b %d %R] %-15.15F (%X) %s'<enter><recall-message> push R I prefer a different index format when in the list of postponed messages. Because we don't have such a thing as "map-based hooks" I use macro. The last command is what opens postponed messages on startup, which is my preference. However, now my default index is changed. For example, suppose no postponed message. Then index is set as above and not set to index I prefer when not in postpone map. I attempted: folder-hook "." 'set index_format = "%4C %Z %[%b %d %R] %-15.15n (%X) %s"' but that does not help (=does not change anything unless I first change to a folder and then change back). Is there a method to set a variable when *leaving* postponed map? Does someone have a suggestion? Kind regards, Xu
