Did you mean to put sigdashes up here and potentially throw away your entire message? :-) % Dear List - I have just upgraded mutt to 1.3.27 (from 1.2.5) and thought Yay for you! % that this would be a good time to 'clean-up' my configuration files. For % that I have used the nice examples found on: Good idea. % % http://www.davep.org/mutt/muttrc/ % % This uses a small .muttrc which sources external files in the .mutt % directory. One thing that I cannot seem to get to work is this: % % In my old .muttrc I had an entry: % % mailboxes `echo $HOME/mail/*.incoming` Sounds good enough. % % which made sure that all my mailbox folders that procmail fills % (*.incoming) are checked for new mail. If I move this line to % ~/.mutt/mailboxes which is sourced into the .muttrc, this no longer % works. % Is there some alternative, or do I just have to write out each and every % mailbox? You really shouldn't have to, and it really ought to work. That's the interesting part. Why and how does it no longer work? Do you get any error messages? Does it work if you source the include file manually from within mutt? Does it work under 1.3.27 if you move it back into your main muttrc file? Are you sure there are no typos involved? Have you changed the source order around to try sourcing this sub-file first (if it isn't already)? Have you tried an empty main muttrc that simply sources another muttrc with only that command to eliminate any conflicts you might have written in the rest of your config? Finally, have you tried any or all of this while running mutt in debug mode to get lots of detail? % % Thanks for any suggestions!
