Hey everyone, I've had a long running problem with my mutt configuration when using message-hook to run a script for unread messages. The configuration looks like this:
``` message-hook '~U !~T ~f notifications@github\.com' \ "push '<enter-command>set my_old_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode \ nopipe_decode<enter> \ <pipe-message>ghnotification.sh<enter> \ <enter-command>set pipe_decode=\$my_old_pipe_decode<enter><top>'" ``` Full code here: https://github.com/keith/dotfiles/commit/2071bd80f5d2b44189a1ed6d2aaf00085eaf719f The intention here is to run a script that curls the magic image in GitHub emails to mark them as read on GitHub. Doing this for unread (and as an optimization for the problem, also untagged) messages works fine from the index. If I open a message from the index, the script is executed correctly. The problem comes when I *delete* an *unread* email from the index. In this case it seems that the command is interpreted as a series of key presses. This results in a directory being created locally called: ``` enter-command>set my_old_pipe_decode (etc) ``` It seems that the problem is in how I'm executing the command doesn't work with my delete command: ``` macro index,pager d "<save-message>+gmail/trash<enter>" "Delete message" ``` Any advice on how to work around this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading! -- Keith Smiley
