Hi Will, Thank you for responding. That is good tricky to know. You said "for most of the use cases I can think of". What is the use case you can think of where the tricky above will not function? For me it is not ideal because when I execute source ~/.muttrc-$FOO then the rest of the .muttrc is still processed. I would like to process only ~/.muttrc-$FOO. I hope that has sense. Kind regards, Xu
