Going through the mailing list and the documentation on mutt.org, it strikes
me that what we lack is a 'How do I' FAQ (of the sort perl has). Of course,
it'd be semiredundant informationwise since it's all there in the manual,
but it'd be a useful resource for the newbie daunted by the sheer mass

You misunderstand. I want to abort the reading of mailboxes in midscan, and
return to the calling stage, t
It'd be nice if mutt had an 'abort' key, to, for instance, stop reading a
large mailbox opened accidentally. Has someone written a patch for this? Is
there any reason it'd be a bad idea?

I tagged a bunch of mails, and saved them to a different folder; most of
them were marked D, but a few at the end were not. (Correctly) surmising
that this was a disk space problem, I synced the mailbox and went to free up
some space. However, it turned out that the folder I saved to was empty; in

When I try to store a mail address under a preexisting alias, mutt complains
that the alias is already in use, and returns. Wouldn't it make more sense
to ask if I wanted to replace the address in the file? This is especially
annoying when dealing with mails of the type "Hi, please note my new ema

Thanks! Just upgraded and it works fine. Should have read the 'new features'
list,
A friend and I have been trying to write a macro to edit mails in place
(i.e. pipe a mail to your editor of choice, edit and save it back to the
same folder, marking the original D).
The macro to date is
macro index \ce "s/tmp/_f\ny!vim /tmp/_f && cat /tmp/_f >>$HOME/Mail/inbox\n!/bin/rm
-f /tm
Is there any way to mark all posts in a mailbox read, without entering the
box?

Back when I was using Pine, I was able to bcc a mail to a bunch of adresses,
and have the To: field fill itsef in as "Undisclosed Recipients" or whatever.
No amount of rtfming has enabled me to do this with mutt - is it possible?
If so, how; if not, why not?
