One option is to use an external address book program, such as abook. Within mutt, however, you can also have all the functionality you've described by using aliases. Create a bunch of aliases (just do whatever the manual says) for the addresses you need. It might be good to read up on aliases in the Mutt manual. Then, when you hit 'm' to compose a message, use tab completion (i.e., press the tab key). Mutt will pop up a list of matching alias (if you press tab without typing anything, all aliases will be matched). Tag (using 't') the ones you want to put in your To: line, press the return key, and you're set. -- Luke
Scoring addresses in lbdb
Hi, all. Is it somehow possible to score addresses I use in lbdb? Here is the problem I have. If I want to send a mail to somebody with name "Sudhir", I just type "sudhir" at the To: prompt and hit ^T for getting all possible completions. Invariably, I get a lot of completions that are possible. Many of them are just alternate addresses for the same "Sudhir" I want to contact. The preferred address is possibly sixth or seventh in the list. So, I scroll down and pick it up. What I want to happen now is that next time when I do the same operation, this address should get more priority and should be on top. I know that lbdb is a separate program and has no direct relation to mutt. So, I think, one possible way it can be done is to add some kind of scoring feature in lbdb and increase the score of selected addressed from some macro magic from mutt every time I select an address. Any ideas? Abhay. -- Abhay Ghaisas / [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Filtering through a lot of levels
Hi, how can I check, I a message was sent to a certain address? I want to realise that mails to address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is first filtered into the maillists and if no matching mailbox is found it should go to mailbox "junk". Mails to address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> should also be sorted in its matching filters and unmatched messages should also go to the junk mailbox. And so on. I have more than 10 email accounts and want to bring some hierarchical sorting into it... Any idea how to solve it cleverly?

I like the idea of having gpg fetch keys for me in the background, but on
a quick connection it isn't too necessary. I haven't played with setting
up such a procmail rule because ...
%
% I'm curious...do users usually use a separate keyring for things like
... I absolutely do; that was a big seller of gpg or pgp for me, since my
key list currently says
% gpg --list-keys | grep ^pub | wc -l
100
and that's way too many to manage in one ring.
Attached for the interest of those who would have it are portions of my
gpg options file (defining keyrings), .cshrc (defining a gpg command that
does not use the options file and thus does not know about the extra
keyrings), and an absolutely ugly hack to move keys from my catch-all
ring to a named ring (eg mutt). I know that I should rewrite the latter
in a decent language or at least even clean it up, and that I should
probably look into cascading options files so that I can skip the ugly
$GNOPG setting, but I've been lazy and this has worked.
Whenever I'm reading a folder and I see gpg tell me that it has imported
a key, I simply
!.gnupg/gpg--move
to move it to the associated keyring; my catch-all ring stays fairly
empty. mutt and gpg are so good at retrieving keys that I sometimes miss
it, so I have a few keys in 'misc' that I can't find in any mailing list
to know which ring *should* have them :-)

If you're going to do this sort of thing, then a reminder folder would be a good way to go.
