Re: A few mutt questions
> 1. I'd like to have new or unread mail (what's the difference, anyway?) To mutt, 'new' means that the mail is unread and has arrived during this mutt session. 'old' means that it's unread but remains from a previous mutt session. But like another poster, I use them differently. For me, 'new' means 'unread', and 'old' means 'must reread'. Unmarked mail (neither new nor old) is read and can be removed. >flagged somehow. Occasionally I see an N next to some messages, but in >general mutt seems to completely oblivious to what's new or unreaed. It certainly supports this, but it depends on the mail source itself to say what's read. Mutt can alter these flags, but so can other tools. If you have other programs (other mail clients, or "biff" programs, etc.) reading your mailboxes, they could be interfering with your expectations of mutt. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

I think a combination of 2+3. But I would really like to see cd's trash folder patch integrated into mutt. I think there are enough reasons that this approach is better than the macro approach, and there are enough people who like to have a "trash" folder, that it makes sense to do this. w

Hello, Just after logging in, you can enter the command "ls -alrut", that shows in the last lines, the files that have just been read. Among these files, there should be an initialisation file for your shell, for example .bashrc or .profile. In the end of this file, you can put the line PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin (for a csh-like shell, the syntax is perhaps different...) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

I use the New and Old flags to keep track of items as a todo list. Messages get marked read when they are ready for being moved to my mbox. A new message that hasn't been read is marked "N". If you leave that flag and quit, mutt changes that flag to "O". When you Tab through messages, you go through the N messages, then O messages. Either counts as unread. If a message comes in and I read it, but need a reminder, I keep it around flagged O. Since that prevents mutt from moving it to my mbox, I have to either open the message or manually remove the flag. That workflow works for me.

A few mutt questions
Hello people, I'm increasingly happy with mutt. But I still have a few questions: 1. I'd like to have new or unread mail (what's the difference, anyway?) flagged somehow. Occasionally I see an N next to some messages, but in general mutt seems to completely oblivious to what's new or unreaed. That's a botch because I have to scrutinize several inboxes for new mail and frequently overlook things. I know there's the option to automatically stuff read messages into the "mbox", but I like to leave read messages in inbox as a to-do reminder when necessary. 2. Is there a way to specify a "default-recipient" to be inserted when composing a new message? As I'm subscribed to several mailing lists I'd like to put that into a folder-hook so that when I hit 'm' in a list folder I get the To: field pre-filled with that list's address. 3. There were more but I forgot. --D. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
