(You might need to upgrade for this to work. I think this feature was available only as a patch prior to 1.5.10, and since you haven't posted to any mutt mailing lists to ask about this devilish problem, you probably don't know about the patch.)
but nooo, not in mutt. Impossible. Using shell-fu to emit 'set record' hooks for all the mailboxes is gay, since it doesnt work for IMAP.
Let's talk about what else is gay, please. I'd like to hear more about that. I expect it makes for good conversation over coffee and biscuits.
The Genius of it, actually the simple Brilliance and Sheer Glory, is that is implementing the \0, \1 ... regex match substitutions that *every* reasonable scripting language has would fix it.
But mutt isn't a scripting language, nor has it one.... And how many mailers have regex matching at all, let alone with subexpression substitution? Let's keep our apples with apples. Now post what's *really* bugging you! Cause, you know, this wouldn't be that bad even if it were an actual problem. ... It's a funny thing about posting to a software hate list: you sometimes ring up people who are considerably involved in the things you hate. But that's ok, I've got no room to complain. I still hate CPAN.pm, for instance. And what use is a hate list if you have to mind everyone's feelings? Hi, Jarkko! -- -D. d...@uchicago.edu NSIT University of Chicago
