Thanks Felix for your comments. > I use the basic scheme you have of manually toggling visibility, and it is > plenty fast and easy. I use it for the same reason: copying multi-line text. Yeap, we share same experience. I used to manually toggle sidebar visibility too for a while. Then I started to think 'would be great when mutt does that for me'. Something oriented 'This one just sucks less.' you know :-) Hence my 1st mail.
> I've never needed any of the folder-hooks. They are of course not necessary and used for other purposes: - having 'deleted' emails moved at first into a Trash can. Emails only get really deleted when deleted from within the Trash can. I don't remember from who I copied that, but I find that handy as mistakes happen. - having F12 key moving emails from inbox to oldbox & vice versa. I added inside the 'set sidebar_visible=yes' inside those hooks to reduce the manual toggling. Unfortunately it just reduces but does not eliminate the necessity of manual toggling, and it makes .muttrc less readable (although I don't read it often). > (It annoys me no end that gnome-terminal-server does not recognize that URLs > can span multiple lines for the right click copy/open menu.) Agreed, same experience here using xfce4-terminal. F.
