No, that won't do it; simply running bash does not reset $SHELL, so when mutt looks to $SHELL it sees tcsh and runs it and tries to feed it a bash construct. % % I will try to create a tcsh version or just add it to mutt's mailboxes % command manually since I don't watch that many lists. You actually can't do a one-liner in tcsh (bummer, eh?). You could, however, do this in your .muttrc file: mailboxes ! `bash -c 'for i in ... do ... done'` and force your shell (be it tcsh or anything else) to run bash. I've since tossed the original email with your working example (you guys in the quotes-too-much thread stay quiet!) but my recollection is that you didn't want *all* of the mailboxes and so you were listing them out in the for loop. Follow up with details if this doesn't get you what you need and we'll see what we can do. % % -- % Carl B.
