set From: based on To:
Hi mutt-users, I have several addresses and when someone I don't know sends me an email, this one goes in my inbox (procmail default). Now if I hit 'r', the From header will be automaticaly set to my default email, which is sometimes not the preferred behaviour, I would like to use the email address the sender used. For example: I receive an email with: From: a...@example.com To: m...@foo.bar (I don't have any special settings for a...@example.com) I hit 'r' and I get: From: defa...@email.bar To: a...@example.com but I would like to have: From: m...@foo.bar To: a...@example.com How can I do this? Should I use a reply-hook? reverse_name? I'm a bit confused here. Many thanks in advance for your help. steve
How to obtain the fullname of current mailbox or use nickname?
Hi, I read from the reference that in the status bar, the variable %f indicating the full path of the current mailbox. But this is not always the way it should be, if I set default mailbox as ~/.mutt/inbox then if I enter mutt from the terminal, the %f is always =inbox. For local mailboxes it is not a big problem I can use different mailbox names. But this issue becomes quite annoying when I was trying to set up several imap accounts. T he mailboxes of these imap are something like imaps://url.com/inbox imaps://url1.com/inbox imaps://url2.com/inbox If I enter mutt for the first time, surprisingly %f now is imaps://url.com/inbox. But if I try to enter the second imap mailbox by c-->? then %f now is again =INBOX. Is it because I set anything wrong? Thanks Peng

Change Settings Based Upon Message Recipients Usage: reply-hook [!]pattern command send-hook [!]pattern command send2-hook [!]pattern command These commands can be used to execute arbitrary configuration commands based upon recipients of the message. pattern is used to match the message, see Message Matching in Hooks for details. command is executed when pattern matches. reply-hook is matched against the message you are replying_to, instead of the message you are sending. send-hook is matched against all messages, both new and replies. Note reply-hooks are matched before the send-hook, regardless of the order specified in the user's configuration file. send2-hook is matched every time a message is changed, either by editing it, or by using the compose menu to change its recipients or subject. send2-hook is executed after send-hook, and can, e.g., be used to set parameters such as the $sendmail variable depending on the message's sender address. For each type of send-hook or reply-hook, when multiple matches occur, commands are executed in the order they are specified in the .muttrc (for that type of hook). Example: send-hook mutt "set mime_forward signature=''" Another typical use for this command is to change the values of the $attribution, $signature and $locale variables in order to change the language of the attributions and signatures based upon th

Thank you for this tip! Using w with r afterwards works fine to set the replied flag of a message. But does anybody have an idea why mutt sometimes forgets to toggle the r-flag (i.e. replied) when I reply to a message storing this message first in drafts, then further edit it and finally send it? One situation in which this happens is if, when I resume to edit the message (the reply), I am in another folder then the message I am replying to. Maybe mutt is not able to notice that this is reply to a message lying in another folder?!

My first idea was something like : reply-hook '~t ^...@foo.bar$' 'set from="m...@foo.bar"' but this doesn't work, I still get my default address in the From: header. And if it worked, I then should have to add as many lines as email addresses I have, only changing me1 with me2 and so forth, and this seems strange to me. Then I tried: reply-hook '~t ^...@foo.bar$' 'my_hdr From: m...@foo.bar' same thing. I'm missing something but I don't know what. Help would be highly appreciated. Thanks, s.

Perhaps I'm not reading that reply-hook correctly. I read: (sorry for the english, it's not my mother tongue, as you probably noticed it) For each mail addressed to m...@foo.bar, set the From header to m...@foo.bar when replying to it. > reply-hook '^...@foo\.bar$ set from="m...@foo.bar"' Mutt tells me that there is a syntax error; it doesn't complain anymore with the following line: reply-hook '^...@foo\.bar$' 'set from="m...@foo.bar"' But anyway, it doesn't do what is expected. > > but this doesn't work, I still get my default address in the From: > > header.

Thank you for your help, but as Rado said in another message, I guess I've got a messed up configuration and I should figure out why (I'm sure it's not mutt's fault). I'm trying to fine-tune my configuration with several files in which I source other file(s) and surely I've missed lots of mutt's "finesse" (in french)... this one issue is already a long-lasting one, and I'm lacking energy and time to start the whole thing from the beginning (but I should, I know). Once more, thanks alot for your help! I love mutt, it's great, I'd love to master it totally (yes I also have strange dreams...:-)), but unfortunately I'm far from it :-( s.

Need help on setting multiple accounts
Hi. I was trying to set up multiple accounts with pop3+imap combined but with no success, so I have to seek help here. Maybe we can discuss a simple case at first. Asssume I have two IMAP accounts from gmail and yahoo Then I may write the first few lines in my muttrc like: mailboxes imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX mailboxes imaps://imap.yahoo.com/INBOX account-hook . 'unset imap_pass imap_user ' account-hook imaps://imap.gmail.com/ 'set imap_user="my_gmail_name" imap_pass="abc" ' account-hook imaps://imap.yahoo.com/ 'set imap_user="my_yahoo_name" imap_pass="abc" ' then I am stuck because I don't know where I should put the spoolfile variable. The reason why I care this variable very much is because I want by pressing c-->tab to be able to view all folders under the spool such as the sent/drafts .. I tried put it in both account-hook or folder-hook and to load mutt by mutt -y but this had no effect. If I simply put set spoolfile=imaps://imap.gmail.com/ set spoolfile=imaps://imap.yahoo.com/ in muttrc, I then use yahoo as the default spool. I can enter the sent folder of yahoo, but if I enter google mailboxes the spool is still yahoo. Basically speaking I have already built a basic two-account muttrc. I just don't how know to set the spoolfile correctly to access sent folder in both these two accounts.(to add these two folders into mailboxese variable is not desired for me ) Thank you Peng

I guess this is the supposed way. So I added the following line folder-hook 'imaps://imap.gmail.com' "push ?imaps://imap.gmail.com" into muttrc. And it works. Correspondingly I have to set the current directory for every mailboxes I defined. Thanks Peng
relation between folder-hook and push
I recently found the following interesting phenomenon: I included the following lines in my muttrc mailboxes ~/.MuttMail/inbox set spoolfile=~/.MuttMail/inbox folder-hook . 'push :default' folder-hook inbox 'push :inbox' This is the only four lines in the muttrc because I want to do a clean test. If the folder-hook is used to set variables then I was told by the manual http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html that I should place the default hook EARLIER than the specific hook, as I did in the test. However, the result is is I enter mutt then I have :inbox:default at the bottom command area. It contradicts with my understanding to the folder-hook because the order is reversed compared to the manual. Is this a bug, or supposed way? Thanks
