how to make a contact address list for my mutt ?

Setting default address breaks reverse_name

2013-01-13 Thread Marco
Hi,

I use different email addresses for different things. To select the
corresponding addresses I use folder hooks the following way:

  folder-hook somefolder \
'my_hdr From: Marco '

  folder-hook anotherfolder \
'my_hdr From: Marco '

To specify the default address I use a folder hook which triggers on
every folder:

  folder-hook . \
'my_hdr From: Marco '

I want to reply from the address the email was sent to, thus I have
set:

  set reverse_name
  set use_from

However, responses always are being sent from the default address.
If I remove the folder-hook . my_hdr From: …, then the reverse_name
works fine, but the default address is set to the address of the
last visited folder, which is undesirable.

How do I correctly set a default address which does not break
reverse_name?

I use abook and lbdb which did come packaged with mutt.  They are quite
simple to setup following the included documentation, and readily
available, lbdb-0.37-11.1.2.x86_64, abook-0.6.0pre2-10.1.2.x86_64.

Try using "set from=u...@example.com" instead of my_hdr.

See section 3.75 in TFM.

Using “from” instead of “my_hdr From:” works. Thanks.

What does the star in the index represent

2013-01-13 Thread Marco
Hi,

what does the star in the index view of a thread represent?

├─>
├─>
│ └─>
│   └─>
└*> <--- this is what I'm talking about
  └─>

It's probably explained somewhere in the manual, but frankly, I have
no clue what to search for.

No worries, glad I could help.

Ah-hah!  The herring was green!

Try setting "hide_top_limited" when limiting to a tagged subthread.  I
think that does what you want, and with a little scripting you could
wrap everything into a macro.  Thanks to Marco for inspiring me to
search through the manual for "thread". ;)

I couldn't find it in the manual, but if I remember correctly that star
indicates the message is part of a "pseudo-thread", meaning the message
marked with a star does not have the References and/or In-Reply-To
messages headers set, and thus is only associated with that thread
because the Subject header matches that of the rest of the Thread.  Try
setting "strict_threads" temporarily - if the starred message jumps to a
new thread then that is probably what it is.

You're right. I would have never thought about that.
