Re: Mutt Save-Hook Help
* Curtis Spencer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-02-11 00:49]: I am trying to get mutt to save all messages from the debian user list in a file called debian. I don't fully understand the save-hook functionality. my muttrc looks like this, yet everything still gets saved to the inbox. set mbox=+inbox set record=+outbox set sort=threads set noprompt_after # Mail Header Hiding ignore * unignore from date subject to cc save-hook '~C debian-user' +debian Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Curtis would exactly do you want? you're save-hook should make mutt to save the message into folder debian as soon as you are on the message and press 's'. if you want the mail sorted automatically you should use procmail or something similar. hth, christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

SNIP Personally, I have Exim deliver the messages for this list directly to a separate mailbox in the first place, using filtering in a .forward file... like so: if $header_X-Mailing-List: contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] then seen save $home/Mail/debian_user endif And I don't know whether it's necessary to explicitly define the else condition, but I did... like so: if not delivered then seen save $home/Mail/inbox endif Note that I'm a complete newbie myself, so I don't know if this is the *right* way to do this, I just know that it seems to be working for me. And, obviously, if you're not using Exim as your MTA, the method will presumably vary. msg29997/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I might set up procmail later, but that is for a different day :-). Cheers, Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheers, Curtis Actually, I just realized that my problem wasn't in the regex, it was that I wasn't explicity pressing 's' to save the messages. I wanted it just when I pressed 'q' to quit mutt, rather than moving everything to inbox, to move debian user list stuff to the debian file. I don't know if there is a way to do this. As for procmail, I just installed it. Is there any easy way to get it up and running? Do I have to integrate it with postfix?
