I tried your code in both mutt and neomutt, created that 1.rc file in the relevant directory, and both of them gives me error Error in .muttrc, ~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc<enter>: unknown command Error in .muttrc, ~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc<enter><edit-from><kill-line>current-from<enter>: unknown command Error in .muttrc, ~/.config/neomutt/profiles.d/1.rc: unknown command for mutt I also created a 1.rc file in ~.mutt/profiles.d/1.rc, still gives me the same errors. Can you check your codes to see if you typed correctly or you may have left something? Ryan
