Hello,
I have custom macro "q" for exit:
macro index q "<sync-mailbox>;<exit>"
but when I open mailbox read-only, I am not able to exit from mutt:
AFAICT this macro does nothing useful--the normal quit (normally bound
to 'q') already syncs before quitting. But you can't sync a read-only
mailbox so just exit instead (normally bound to 'x').
I am using mutt in 2 modes:
1) mutt -R -f folder
2) mutt -f folder
In case 1), pressing "q" should simply exit. This is read-only mode and
there are no messages to be deleted.
In case 2), pressing "q" should exit while also automatically deleting
any messages marked for deletion.
When I delete my custom macro, and revert "q" to its default action,
then I get this message when exiting from mutt (case 2):
Purge 1 deleted message? ([yes]/no):
When I create custom macro to sync automatically, I get the error on
read-only mutt, because it cannot be synced.
So I need "q" that works in both cases.
