I'd suggest using . instead of ~A. The dot specifies a default when
no other pattern matches. ~A means "all mail" and later patterns
will not match.

Changing mailbox (tab-tab-tab-oops)

[torben fjerdingstad]

Note: You will need qmail maildirs and a mailboxes line in .muttrc
to understand my questions below.

I get a list of all my (qmail) maildirs by pressing 'c' and
then three tabs. Now, the cursor is at the number 1 maildir
(the one at the top).

First question:
How do I sort the listing to the same order as they are
in .muttrc, in the mailboxes line?

Second question:
Now, for every maildir where there is new mail, the is an
'N' flag.
Therefore, I would expect that pressing tab again, would
make the cursor jump to the next maildir line which has
new mail. It doesnt. Instead I get a directory listing
one level down in the maildir at the cursor, which
I find pretty useless:

->  1   drwxr-xr-x 147 unitfj   users   24576 Aug 06 12:35 ../
2   drwx--  2 unitfj   users  105472 Aug 06 12:19 cur/
3   drwx--  2 unitfj   users   21504 Aug 06 12:24 new/
4   drwx--  2 unitfj   users1024 Aug 06 12:24 tmp/

How do I, instead, make the 4th. tab move the cursor to the next
maildir with has new mail?

Third question:
What is the use of the listing I get at the 2nd tab press?

P.S. I have 23 maildirs.

tag-reply and In-Reply-To:

[David Thorburn-Gundlach]

Hi, folks --

I would think that tagging multiple messages and replying would
put multiple message-id in the In-Reply-To: field for proper
threading, but it seems (as I see with edit-hdrs) that only the first
one (perhaps as sorted in my index) is referenced.  On the other hand,
I thought that I had previously seen multiple references, so I think
that it can be done (how's that for conclusive proof? :-)


What's the real scoop?  TIA

While mutt doesn't put multiple Message-IDs in the In-Reply-To header,
it does include the IDs of all the tagged messages in the References
header.  Putting them all in the In-Reply-To header would be of
questionable value, since there isn't really a good method of looking at
it header and determinig which <> enclosed bits are Message-IDs and
which are email addresses.  About the best that can be easily done is to
assume that the first one is a Message-ID and it's very rare to have any
others.

Why not? I just tried this

folder-hook Inbox  "color body white black ."

It worked.

editing a message

[erik]

hi,

here is another easy question.  I want to edit a message i have saved
in a mail box (for example a joke or some kind of forward).  I want to
get rid of all of the extra headers and such.  I use the 'e' key, but
it brings up my editor and wants to resend the message.  I just want
to edit the bosy - and possibly the subject line and then save it back
to my mailbox to send later  or just keep.  Is there a way to do this?

TIA,

reply-to-sender ?

[E Forrest Carpenter]

Caveat: This may be in the FAQ/Manual and I overlooked it.

Situation: A particular mailing list sets a Reply-To: of the list address,
so that replies are pointed back to the list.  If I set reply_to=ask-yes,
then I can either reply to the list, or to the sender at my discretion.
However, 99% of the time I'd like to reply to the list, and so having
the prompt each time is (mildly) annoying.

Question: Is there a "reply-to-sender" (un)bound command I can use to
force mutt to ignore the reply-to if I set reply_to=yes?

TIA.

Select "w" (write message) from the post-editing menu.  After that you
need to quit without sending.  Incidentally, if you want to edit the
headers, you can use "E" (edit with headers).

(Note that these are the keybindings for me, they might be different for
you...)

 If you tell mutt which mailing lists you reveive mail from (see
 ``lists'' command), you can use the list-reply function, which
 is bound to L bei default.

Where did you get this information?  As far as I'm aware, '.' and '~A'
are treated identically by Mutt.  Furthermore, Mutt does not stop
matching on the first pattern-match, but runs ALL send-hooks that match. 
Indeed, this is fundamental to getting default-behavior send-hooks to
work!

You can tell Mutt about the mailing list using the 'lists' command, and
'set ignore_list_reply_to', so that Mutt will ignore the Reply-To if it
points to a mailing list address.  That means your 'r' key will always
reply back to the sender, and your 'L' key will always reply back to the
list.  If you get in the habit of using 'L' when you're reading a
mailing list, you'll always do the right thing.  :)

True, however, since procmail filters my mail into mailboxes per list,
having a mailbox full of "To 'mutt-users'" rather than a list of the
folks sending the messages isn't helpful, it's redundant.  Also, I'm
looking for a way to reply to the sender, not the list; list-reply
has nothing to do with that.

As a note, I tried putting the lists line in my .muttrc, and then
both 'r' (reply, which used the Reply-To: header) and 'L' (which 
replied to the list) did precisely the same thing.  Neither of which
is what I'm looking for.

I think I'm seeking a feature that doesn't exist.  But perhaps someone
on the development side wants to hack it in to a future version?

Thanks, that clears up for me the reason that 'lists' was suggested in
the first place.  Now I just have to figure out how to make mutt display
the sender in the index, and not "To 'mutt-users'".  Back to the manual.

Thanks again.

forward email as attachment?

[Robert Chien]

Hi,

Sometimes I need to forward one or more emails to another
worker as attachment(s). How do I do that in mutt?

If I save it to a file, then attach that file, it sort of
works but takes a lot of time, esp. if I'm attaching 3+
emails. Would be nice if I can presss , and choose files
or emails to attach. This is my wish list item.

Any suggestions?

Well, you can already choose files to attach with 'a'.  Would you settle
for using 'A' (the default binding for the attach-message function) to
attach messages?

Tag the messages you want to forward then ";f" (tag-forward) will put
them all in your editor for sending.  If you want them as separate
attachments, set mime_forward first.

Almost your wish, just add the shift key to press "A".
It's in the online help as well as in the manual.

attach-message, by default bound to 'A', will let you do just this from

You guys are awesome! I did looked at help, but searched for the wrong
keyword "forward" and of course didn't see the "A" option.

However, now I've found an interesting "bug": if I type "A", it asks
for "Open mailbox to attach message from ('?' for list):". But it won't
open my IMAP inbox. If I enter {imapserver}inbox, it returns an error:

{thestork}inbox: No such file or directory (errno = 2)

Normal folders work just fine. Can other IMAP users verify this please?
