Mutt will do some limited group related messages together based on just the subject as long as $strict_threads isn't set. But, in order to do real threading, Mutt needs the Message-ID header (of the original) and either References or In-reply-to (from the reply).

It would be possible to manually regenerate this information, it's most likely more work that it's worth. -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~aarons/ The only difference between a car salesman and a computer salesman is that the car salesman knows he's lying.
Autocompletion
A typical situation: I receive a message with a couple of files attached. I want to save them in some directory. I press v, then s and Mutt prompts me to enter the file name. Now I want just to prepend a different directory name before the default file name which suits me fine. I move to the start of line and begin typing. After first three characters I remember the file name autocompletion feature and press Tab. The directory name gets expanded, but everything after it (i.e. the default file name) disappears. Very annoying, isn't it? This "feature" plagues all kinds of tab-completion.

New mail in ... but there isn't any
Hi! I rarely post a question but this one baffles me totally. I've been using mutt since god-knows-when (0.88.x or s.t.h) We use NFS mounted mailboxes on both Solaris 2.6 and Linux 2.2.5-22 here. mutt-1.0i (and 1.0pre3i) work fine except for this: I keep getting "New mail in " even if there isn't any.

You're right on with that font question. I got to thinking about those Cyrillic chars appearing no matter what I tried, so d/l'd the "The Linux Keyboard and Console HOWTO" from sunsite. All was then revealed (well, almost all; I still don't really understand Unicodes). When I first installed my SuSE 5.2 distro 18 months ago, I made an uninformed choice for a screen font--it turns out to have Cyrillic extended characters :-( So, no amount of fooling around with locales, environment vars, charsets, etc. was going to give me anything but Cyrillic. I'm now loading 'lat1u-16.psf' as the screen font, because it contains its own Unicode table (the "u" denotes that), it looks good and it gives me all those umlauts and esszets.

I > have no clue why. On both Linux and Solaris. You need to compile mutt again on the NFS client machines. Use ./configure --enable-nfs-fix (along with any other options you may normally use) The problem with some (well, most) nfs server implementations is they cache the c/m/atime attributes of small files. Normally this is no big deal, just slightly annoying at times. Mutt has a problem with this because it uses those attributes to determine if there is new mail in there. It compares the atime (last access) with the mtime (last modification) to see if the file was modified at a later time than the last access. So, if you do not enable the nfs fix you'll notice this happening with mailboxes that are pretty small. -- , oneiros ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | . OpenPGP Supported .

Oh no, you are getting me all wrong. See, the problem is that when I am writing a mail, a copy of that mail goes directly to the "folder" that I write to ! i.e I write to mutt-users, the message appears immediately in folder "mutt-users". The message is sent! After a while, fetch/procmail catch the mail from my ISP and put in the same folder. Now I have two messages that is similar, except that the first one contains Mail-followup-to in the header ?? Now, what I want to, is that the first mail goes to sent-mail Do you see my point ??

Hi Niels! When you send the message you may have FCC =mutt-users which is caused by the config option set save_name. You could unset it.

With source, anything is possible.
Here is the 2 cent hack. I did this as there seemed to be no other
possible way to achieve this functionality in mutt.
Anyone think this is working into a proper diff to create a config
variable called save_name_folder or something like that?
The more general solution is of course to provide some kind of syntax or
test for conditionally using a mailbox or testing for its existence in a
pattern.
