Have you added a mairix search => maildir integration in your muttrc? The Screwfix case would be: macro index <F8> "<enter-command>set my_cmd = \`/usr/local/bin/mairixsearch\`<return><enter-command>push \$my_cmd<return>" "search messages" macro index <F9> "<change-folder-readonly>~/results<enter><limit>.<enter>" "display search results" F8 f screwfix F9 # tag or untag or whatever until you've got the right ones ;s =screwfix Would that work for you? -dsr-
