Re: tweak subject with regex before display

Is there a way to suppress certain parts of a subject before displaying in the folder view? By "folder" view, do you mean "index?" Pipe index_format's string value to a program or script that removes unwanted portions. Example: set index_format = "/path/to/script %s|" Alternatively, mouse cords are surprisingly difficult to sever and are well-suited as strangling apparatus for mail administrators.

How does Ian do the "name >" quoting?
Sometimes I observe that Ian quotes emails such as: Michael> its own MTA. The one at Apptix is the obvious, but Apptix's Michael> SMTP service is crypted and authenticated, and I haven't found Michael> a way to make mutt log in as me. Is this a setting in mutt or does he do that manually? What is the name of that type of quoting? Kind regards, Xu

You can't do it directly in mutt without some extra stuff; mutt has the $indent_string variable you can set to replace the standard ">" with a string. It is a format string, so you could embed %f and stuff in it. See the doco for this setting, which in turn directs you to the $index_format doco for what you can put in it. I used to set it to "| " myself because I thought it looked better, but all these weirdnesses make it hard for receiving programs to recognise quoted material automatically, and I have abandoned the practice entirely. My current practice is: leave this alone, and use format=flowed for my messages. This actually _requires_ the standard quote indent, and lets me write messages (like this one) which will reflow nicely to fit the reader's screen, yet look ok in a purely dumb pager like less because it is physically folded around 72 characters. I'm a vim user, so if you also are I can assist in vim modes to aid format=flowed composition. I highly recommend it! Cheers, Cameron Simpson
