I'm using the following: mbox-hook .* =received save-hook .* =received Basically, I didn't understand till I just re-read it that this is message-based, not folder based. What I -want- is any time I quit or change folders, for it to save out the mail to =received (I have that right there) ....UNLESS (and this is the part I don't have!) I'm in certain folders. It has nothing to do with messages, it has to do with folders. I think I may be using the wrong tool for the wrong job. Suggestions are welcome though! I'm guessing I need to make use of folder-hook for the specific folders that I want this behaviour removed for, and let my default folder-hooks set it back to this behaviour. However, how do you "remove" a mbox-hook or save-hook? Basic scenario... mutt -f folders/funnies (which has about 900+ jokes in it from over the years) ... I don't want to automatically even be asked if I want to dump that to =received. But I do in almost every other case. So I want the save and mbox hooks I have defined for default, but for this folder, I want to remove them... How can I do this...or is it possible? Man, I feel like a pain...a week of questions here and there. Sorry folks...but thanks for helping. I've got it 99.999999% the way I want it now... :) mark-> -- Fairlight-> ||| [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fairlight Consulting __/\__ ||| "I'm talking for free... | http://www.fairlite.com <__<>__> ||| It's a New Religion..." | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/ ||| PGP Public Key available via finger @iglou, or Key servers
