OK, then I'll set an env var MUTTDIR and do folder-hook `$MUTTDIR/script.sh` ... A more elegant solution could be a config var $configdir or $scriptdir for people who - have more then one script laying around in ~/.mutt (or wherever) - don't want to put Mutt-specific scripts in a location on $PATH My 0.02 $. steve
