% Hi,
%
% I have a question, I use mutt and am new to it and linux. What I want
Welcome!
% to know is that I noticed that if I forward a message that has FW: (or
% something similiar), it still adds another one. Is there a way to
% stop mutt frokm doing this? if there is, how do i go about doing it?
You probably want to take a look at your forward_format variable setting,
which defines how your forwarded message subject line should look.
The default format is "%s (fwd)", which should use the original subject
line with "(fwd)" at the end. I don't know if mutt will stack multiple
modifications if a message is repeatedly forwarded or if it is clever
enough to recognize a forwarded message by regular expression, but
perhaps setting formward_format to whatever most folks use will help
cut down extras (if everyone else uses "FW: %s" and you use "%s (fwd)"
then mutt will certainly expand the subject line). You could even set
forward_format to "%s", which might be the same as just not defining it.
Now, if you want to redirect, or bounce, the message so that the headers
are largely unchanged, use the bounce-message function, bound by default
to "b".
