no, thats no problem. > Depending on what your want try either <shell-escape> or <pipe-message> Hm. That and what Dave Evans wrote works, at least partially. Now the script is launched, but it does not work as expected. It starts the script which outputs: User has asked for a return receipt. Send one? ([yes]/no): and waits for an input ("read yn"), but mutt adds its "Press any key to continue...". So it seems that mutt already answers the question (what it shouldn't do). Also if I do press return to that question, it restarts the script and the game starts from the beginning. Endless, until i somehow force it to quit (not that easy). The (for now very basic script): #!/bin/sh TEMP="`mktemp`" trap "rm -f $TEMP" INT ABRT EXIT tee > $TEMP QUESTION="User has asked for a return receipt. Send one? ([yes]/no): " echo -n $QUESTION read yn (I know that this is far from beeing complete, but to test how things would work it is enough) Any hints? Regards, Patrick
