First the built-in one: Start typing the address (don't care if it is correct), then hit and you'll get all your aliases and can search them similar to the search method in vi by typing "/", then the searched expression followed by . Now the more comfortable one: If you use lbdb with the muttalias module you can start typing the address in the compose dialog and then hit -, lbdb will search your aliases for the fragment you have typed already.

You can hit at the address prompts and mutt will bring up an alias menu from which you can select 'He of the Evil Empire'. I'm sure this is in the manual somewhere. Regards, Doug

Thanks for that information and solution. The problem I was having was with the recipients OE settings or something, and not my Cygwin/Mutt configuration. However it's very possible that I still have a problem with this matter and don't know it -- as I don't send too many zipfiles. -- -duke Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I use the attached script to rename the temporary file, and launch a
program in the background. I create a link to it, 'prog'bg for each
program I want to launch (ie for xv, the link is xvbg; for acroread,
the link is acroreadbg).
I add an appropriate line to my mailcap file:
application/pdf; acroreadbg %s;

I skim through the mutt manual and the vi book about once a month, and each time through I pick out a few more diamonds. The alias list took several months to discover, so maybe it's well hidden . jafager
newbie questions
I have a couple questions that I just can't seem to find answers to in the manual, FAQ or on the web. How can you "move" messages? I would like to tag messages from my inbox and Move them to another mailbox in a single step. Any options? How can you forward a message and retain the attachment? If I get a message with say a tgz attachment is there a key press that will let me forward the message without having to save the attachment to a file, then forward the message, then reattach the attachment?

aspell
Anyone knows if it is possible to get aspell to work with 1.3.18 ?
I did
set ispell="/usr/local/bin/aspell"
but since aspell is not ispell, Mutt pukes.
Is there a patch for that ? Google resturns nothing helpful..

Google resturns nothing helpful.. I have set ispell="/usr/local/bin/aspell --mode=email check" It's always worked for me.
