I want to invoke mutt and have it show me, in the index,
just the mails matching a regex. I can do this by entering
klower-case l from the index, and typing in the regex then,
thereby invoking that limit function. But all my efforts
to do something like:
mutt -e 'exec limit ~h foo' ~f mailbox
result in complaints of non-existent functions, despite a pretty
exhaustive suite of quotation variations, putting the function
invocation in a special rc file, throwing "foo" at mutt's stdin,
ad nauseam. The docs imply the limit function is only available
in the index menu, so I suppose the question is how to access that
menu from the initial invocation.
What's the trick?
TIA,
Jim
