The way I do this is to set record=^ in ~/.muttrc so it saves in the same folder that the message was created and sent from: set record=^ And a hook which also has the setting in the sourced file: folder-hook .* source ~/.mutt/default Then I have other hooks when I want to use a different folder - mailing list messages get saved in =Sent, since the original message will go to the list folder anyway: folder-hook =Lists/* source ~/.mutt/listhook Containing: set record="=Sent" That way I can have things in various folders for family, friends etc. Best, Dave > > Sincerely > > Max Görner -- All I ask of life is a constant and exaggerated sense of my own importance.
