What is the difference between these two commands?

set quote_regexp="^[ \t]*[A-Z]{0,3}[~|>:}#%]"
According to what I read in the manual, they should be equivalent, the
first being preferred. But, the first command does not give the expected
output. I

I would assume (from my understanding of English) that it should be
"{0,m}". If not, the manual shoould be changed to reflect this.

Perhaps you want the scoring function in mutt. It will not mark mail as
read (automatically), but it will show the most important mails at the
top so you can tell if one comes in.

No. Your mail address bounced some mail and you were removed from both

I have asked about this before, but there is no way to unbind a key.
(You can bind to noop, but this will not allow the generic binding to
work.) To have it truly work like it should, you must also add

Once you unignore something, there is no way to ignore it again without

I think this is counter intuitive and that

Mutt used to support the variables confirmfilecreate and
confirmfileappend, but they were taken out at some point. I'm not sure
why, as I also found them useful.

It does not support text based configuration... only TCL/Tk.
I will be posting information on my Master of Engineering thesis
mutt copies the message to the sent folder and then calls the MDA. So if
the MDA fails, the copy to sent mail is already made. Postponing it just
makes the correct copy that you think it does.
