The wiki muttguide/aliases page
Is it me or is there something wrong with this page. http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttGuide/Aliases I see all sorts of HTML tags throughout the page. -- Chris Green
Confused by the "Defining/Using Aliases" section of the manual
I've been looking into how to improve my mutt addressbook/aliases and statred by looking at the "Defining/Using Aliases" section. I'm now more confused than I was before! I can understand the Usage: bit at least but then it goes rapidly downhill. It says:- Note If you want to create an alias for more than one address, you must separate the addresses with a comma (“,”). Er, but that disagrees with the Usage: doesn't it? It should (the Usage:) say "alias [ -group name ...] key address [, address ...]". Anyway I don't really understand what is meant by "create an alias for more than one address" - does it really mean "an alias which will allow sending mail to more than one address when the alias is used"? Then it says:- To remove an alias or aliases (“*” means all aliases): followed by an example which seems to be *adding* aliases. It also doesn't seem to show one of the very useful attributes of aliases, they can refer to other aliases defined already. -- Chris Green

Missing conversion from manual transfer. The whole wiki could certainly take some re-editing for missing, wrong or obsolete parts. Benefit of the move is that now _again_ everybody can edit, so feel invited. :) -- © Rado S. -- You must provide YOUR effort for your goal! EVERY effort counts: at least to show your attitude.

I've not looked at the manual section in a long time, but I can say
(addys obfuscated):
alias dk Derek Keeling
alias ek Elizabeth Keeling
alias mom "Mary & Lawrence"
alias family dk,ek,mom
email to "family" goes to all of them.

Ibid. Or did I completely miss your point?

Hi, Is is possible to limit the view to mails that have nothing in the subject? Jostein
