Hi, mutt! Mutt 1.5.9i (2005-03-13)
At the moment, I want to break a thread in two, because the messages don't belong together. The command to do this is `break-thread', bound by default to #. However, I unbound this key long ago, because hitting it by accident was so easy and so painful. What I want to do is to type in a key-sequence (equivalent to Emacs's M-x), type "break-thread", hit carriage return and have it work. It seems that the key-sequence should be ":". Yet when I type :break-thread<CR> , I get the error message "break-thread: unknown command". The manual isn't helping me enough here. It says: enter-command (default: ``:'') This command is used to execute any command you would normally put in a configuration file. A common use is to check the settings of variables, or in conjunction with ``macros'' to change settings on the fly. , which isn't helpful enough because it doesn't really say what a "command" is. Is `break-thread' not a command? I've certainly put it in my configuration file, even if only to unbind it from #. It also says what enter-command is for, but not how to use it. I think that typing in a command name after ":" is what's wanted, but it would be nice for this to be documented explicitly (say, with an exmple), so that I'm not left guessing whether I've typed in the command wrongly or typed in a wrong command. At the moment, I'm guessing that `break-thread' isn't a command, in the sense of ":". It's something else (what?). Is there, in fact, a way to do what I want without going through the tedium of rebinding the #-key just for a single use? If so, what is it?
