Re: associating sig and other properties with "From:" drop-down in mutt
Hi, what you could try is to associate various identitys with send-hooks in this way: send-hook . "source identity_a0" # default config send-hook "~f identity_a1" "source a1" # the a1 identity send-hook "~f identity_a2" "source a2" # the a2 identity and so on... where "~f identity_a1" is one of your email identities and a1, a2 set the various identity parameters, signatures, headers and stuff in seperate files. Don't forget some parameters you'll have to set to zero, for example: ignore * for the headers. Don't know if this will work but if successfull post the results. All the best.

What I'd like is, for each From: also associate a sig and other characteristics, like whether by default the email should be gpg-signed, what other headers it wants. Is there an elegant way to do this? I don't want "being able to select the other address" to change, hopefully that can remain as-is. What I want is the *consequences of that selection* to change, so that on selection it's not just the "From:" that changes, but the other stuff as well. Many thanks, -- J. All the best, -- Wim

Hi Peter, Debian testing and experimental now package 'mutt' and 'neomutt' separately. 'mutt' is the package from the official maintainer whereas 'neomutt' has the extra patches.

The Arch wiki might be a better place to start. https://wiki/archlinux.org/index.php/Mutt Or https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Mutt/ My set up is a combination of neomutt, msmtp to send mail, getmail to get mail and vim to write mail. Mutt can of course send and get mail itself. It's your choice how you organise your email. Start off simply, send yourself an email and see if things work. Other good resources are listed in the Arch wiki. By the way Thunderbird uses another email format than Mutt. mb2md can be used to convert to the Maildir format. -- Good luck Wim hello, In the manual v.1.9.2, chapter "2.1 Index" it says "The index is the screen that you usually see first when you start Mutt. It gives an overview over your emails in the currently opened mailbox." The problem is: there are no mails to see, because there is no mailbox of mine open and I don't know how to do this. It is the third time already that I try to learn mutt but having no mails to start with, not knowing what is meant by a 'mailbox' and how to administrate it, even when reading in the newbie manual not getting to a point.

To open an email in w3m press Enter, in qutebrowser p or whatever print
