After moving from mbox to maildir
I've moved all my mail from MBox to Maildir, using ms2md perl script. Overally it worked very well, but I found a little annoying issue. All the directories in my Maildir were created as dot dirs, I mean, when the former directory was called "leonardo", the new one is ".leonardo". The problem is in mutt, I use "c+" to change from one folder to another, and before the change I used to use "c+leonardo" to go to leonardo's mails, now I have to write "c+.leonardo". Is there a way to force Mutt to go to ".leonardo" by just writing "leonardo". Regards, -- Leonardo M. Ramé http://leonardorame.blogspot.com
Re: After moving from mbox to maildir
Hi Leonard, what is about using "qmv --format=do" from the renameutils? It might fix your problem more permanently. Regards, Andre "Leonardo M.

saving tagged messages - to what file?
Please, when I am reading my mail using mutt, I can hit s to save the message from a client and mutt assumes a file based on the FROM address. That is fine. But when I save my reply it again assumes the from address - my own. But this is not what I want. I want to save the message, this time to a file based on the TO: field. I will tag a number of messages and I need to save them all to a file based on my recipient's address, not my own. There will only be one recipient. In other words I will end up with a file which is a total record of all the mails from and to a particular client. >From the manual I suspect this can be achieved by Save Hook, but I can't my head round it. Thank you all for wonderful mutt it is an essential part of my little CRM system. Joe
Threads / View
Greetings list. Problem : Cannot get latest thread on top, with newest message on bottom (of thread), while keeping all other messages in the thread in correct chronological order. I would like the thread with the newest message to display on top of the view, and to be sorted : -- oldest msg (in thread) -one after that (newer) one after that (newer) newest msg in thread If , I do not attempt to place the entire thread on top of the view , then, the above sorting works well. Meaning, if the newest thread is at the bottom of the page, then, the messages within that thread, are sorted by the order noted previously. However, if I place the thread on top of the page, the messages within the the thread , seem to be out of order . My current .muttrc states: set sort=threads set sort_aux=reverse-last-date-received I did try various combinations of the above, according to .muttrc, and, have been Googleing this matter on/ off for a while now. If the above is not possible, that would be an answer as well. Thank you, -- Guy Gold
