But there are some occasions where should be useful not to put the real name. For example in my address book there are people who I know the real name, but on the net they only use their nicknames. In these case should be useful add simple the nickname. It's a privacy issue. Nevertheless in order to solve my problem I can simply switch the field name with the field nickname ;) Thanks a lot, bye bye -- web: http://leo.noblogs.org signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It works well for me and is quite useful. bind index \e\e next-unread-mailbox Also have unset mark_old in my muttrc file. I've completely overridden the default keybindings and invoke mutt using a wrapper script with the -n and -F options and source a file where all my functions are bound to the keys I like. Once I've read the mailbox (mbox format) it's considered read; whether or not there remains unread mail in the file until more mail is sorted into it by procmail - then it becomes an "unread mailbox" again.

Recent development versions of abook support this:
abook --mutt-query "%s" --outformat=custom --outformatstr "{email}"
