That's a neat suggestion. This post is just to say I'm exploring it and not ignoring you! I'm currently playing with this: folder-hook . 'macro index,pager d "<copy-message>+ham<enter><save-message><enter>" "archive message" folder-hook . 'save-hook . "$DELETE_FOLDER"' folder-hook '^=me$' 'save-hook "~s ^LogWatch" "+bos-reports"' This should load up a sequence of save-hooks based on the folder. Is there any way to flush all the save-hooks if I change folders, or am I stuck with just loading up the new set to override the older ones? $DELETE_FOLDER is set up by my mutt wrapper to =OLD/YYYY/folder, this doing the default archive. My current difficulty is writing complex rules for the save-hook, because that requires a third level of quote nesting.
