how to set up an macro to jump to a mail matching a pattern ?

[chris]

I want to bind key  to a macro which jump to a mail matching the pattern:
e.g. here is a pattern.
"~x .*@stardiviner"
I do not know where mutt has this function to jump to a mail.
macro index  

In one words:
I want this macro to do this:
Try to find whether has mail matching this pattern: "~x .*@stardiviner".
If not, then jump to another pattern "~P".
If not, then jump to next unread mail with 

Thanks in advance.

OT: tool/sw for syntax check of mail addr (RFC 3696)

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

Do we have anything in mutt which I could use to do a syntax check of
mail addrs as described in RFC 3696 (...)? Or are there any pointers to
such a tool, for C or Java? Thanks in advance

In your .muttrc:

set sendmail="/usr/bin/sendmail"

(sendmail is a symlink to msmtp)

and for msmtp you should read

man msmtp

Hehehe, currently I have not found a singel tool which  does  the  check
perfect, becaue the following mail ist 100% valid:

a~`*&^$_-={}'?b...@tamay-dogan.net

which is an alias to my standard E-Mail.  :-D

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Email::Valid;

print Email::Valid->address("a~`*&^\$_-={}'?b\@tamay-dogan.net") ? 'yes' : 'no';

It does; it's called "search".

That is harder though.  You can make a macro to search for any of those
patterns, but your logic as described amounts to a seqence of if/else
conditions, and you can't make a macro do that.

In other words, if you have messages in this order:

1. mail matching "~x .*@stardiviner"
...
10. mail matching "~N" (unread)
...
15. mail matching "~P"
...
30. mail matching "~x .*@stardiviner"

You can make a macro that skips from 1 to 10 to 15 to 30, but you can't
make a macro that goes from 1 to 30 to 15 to 10, which is what your
conditional logic describes.

I have found one way to close my target a little:
macro index  "~N (~x .*@stardiviner)"

But I still do not know how to apply "?" into this patter. the "?" in this 
pattern seems is "literal". The "?" will call .

Are you looking for '?' as the single character wildcard? That would be
'.'.

Cheers,

No. I do not know what "?" does, but I guess it is about conditional.
I found "?" in this: macro index  "?"
