More likely mutt is using both. First reading the system's /etc/Muttrc and then your local ~/.muttrc for any personalization. When it encounters an error it may abort and not go furthern. Thus errors in /etc/Muttrc could mean it never gets to ~/.muttrc. > anyways, here is the result of what you asked for my /etc/Muttrc > > grep -v ^# /etc/Muttrc > > ignore * > unignore from: subject to cc date x-mailer x-url user-agent > hdr_order date from to cc subject > bind editor "\e<delete>" kill-word > bind editor "\e<backspace>" kill-word > bind editor <delete> delete-char > set sort=threads > unset bounce_delivered > set mixmaster="mixmaster-filter" > set ssl_ca_certificates_file="/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" > macro index \eb "<search>~b " "search in message bodies" > macro index,pager,attach,compose \cb "\ > <enter-command> set my_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode pipe_decode<Enter>\ > <pipe-message> urlview<Enter>\ > <enter-command> set pipe_decode=\$my_pipe_decode; unset > my_pipe_decode<Enter>" \ > "call urlview to extract URLs out of a message" > macro generic,pager <F1> "<shell-escape> zcat > /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz | sensible-pager<enter>" "show Mutt > documentation" > macro index,pager y "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "show incoming > mailboxes list" > bind browser y exit > mime_lookup application/octet-stream > set time_inc=250 > attachments +A */.* > attachments -A text/x-vcard application/pgp.* > attachments -A application/x-pkcs7-.* > attachments +I text/plain > attachments -A message/external-body > attachments -I message/external-body > source /usr/lib/mutt/source-muttrc.d| > set from = "d...@dalekelly.org" > set realname = "Dale" > > > > set smtp_url=smtp://smtpout.secureserver.net:80 > set smtp_user=d...@dalekelly.org > > > -- > (my whereabouts below) > http://www.dalekelly.org/ >>> End of included message <<< -- Jon H.
