Feature request #293
Hi, I've completely unified my mutt config for several accounts and while it works very well, I cannot easily tell which account I'm connected to at the moment, and might not remember (yet) which macro switches to which account. The imap accounts generally just show "=INBOX" in the index status line. So I looked at the manual entry for status_format and found that there isn't any shortcut that can help identify the current account. Which is a bit surprising. To at least see what I'm using afer I switched to it, I currently use macro index,pager 'source ~/.mutt/account1!:set ?folder' which leaves a "folder=xxx" message below the status line. I came across https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/issues/293 which, while bereft of detail, seems to request the feature I'm looking for - a means of identifying the currently active account in the status line. If anyone can point me to existing patches for status_format that add a new format string, I'd be more than happy to have a go at it myself. The wiki patchlist has one such patch, but it's listed for mutt 1.2/1.3 and I'm sure it would still apply to 2.2. Thanks.
