Thanks! This seems to have done the trick and I think this should work. A follow up question: is there a way to apply this to only specific imap directories? The way I am using mutt is, again super basic, but: 1. I have a gmail account and mutt configured use gmail's imap/smtp setup. 2. In gmail, I have created some "labels" which appear in mutt as imap directories and I've created some filters in gmail to apply labels to certain messages. This has the effect that all messages to netdev@... get labeled "netdev", and skip my inbox completely (which is nice). Since "labels" seem to be directories, in mutt I press 'c' and then '?' and I can select the netdev imap directory showing only netdev related stuff and I see messages which mention me highlighted in green. Can I apply the scoring rule only to one imap directory by any chance? Asking because the scoring basically colors my entire inbox green but works great in the netdev directory :) Thanks, Joe
