I was trying to setup mutt to move deleted mail to a mailbox on my IMAP server
named "Deleted Items". This would emulate the way the MS-Outlook client
(foisted upon me at the office) works. After searching through the archives
I found some macros that looked like they would do the trick.

I have a script scan all my mailspools (I use mbox) and move anything
old
I am not sure how to do that just with vi but:
Since you can easily pass your document through a unix command filter, you
could just write your own sed command to do that for you and bind it to a
key with map.
eg.
:1,5 !tr a-z A-Z makes line 1 to 5 uppercase.
or
:1,10 !sed "s/^[a-z].*/ &/"

I was thinking about the merits of keeping one large mailbox, versus
keeping a mailbox that's rotated monthly/quarterly/yearly. Some people
prefer to keep one huge mailbox, and some other people prefer to rotate
it. I'd like to explore the reasons why people do it one way and not the
other.

Does anyone have a vim configuration to make writing bullets/lists easier?
e.g. when I'm writing something like this:

1. Pick one of the RaQs to be the DNS server.
2. E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask him for an additional IP for
that RaQ.
3. When you get the IP, tell me a

I'd like to get away from using BBDB in general, however, since

makes more sense.
Thanks, though.
