Set a default To value based on current folder name?
Hello, When composing a new mail, is it possible to specify a default To address based on the current folder name ? For example, when I am in the folder list.mutt, I would like the To: field to be prefilled with the mutt-users@mutt.org value when composing a new mail. Thanks, -- Nicolas

If not, how do I enable/disable them? The USE_* options are typically controlled via --enable-* or --with-* options to configure. The HAVE_* are system aspects that the configure script automatically detects are are not typically user configurable. The items without a prefix are primarily items which the user *may* need to override (most of these are old, but would probably be better labeled with a USE_ prefix). Additionally, is it possible to not build/install the documentation somehow? Trying to do that here gives me an error and then make stops *sigh* I am not sure, but you may be able to remove the doc item from the SUBDIRS variable in the Makefile. Typically it's better to just install the docbook packages so you can build the docs. See doc/devel-notes.txt for the complete list of packages required. make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/mutt/doc' ##test -f manual.html || make manual.html || cp ./manual*.html ./ cp ./manual*.html ./ cp: cannot stat `./manual*.html': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [try-html] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/mutt/doc' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/mutt' make: *** [install] Error 2 Why would anyone want to copy ./some file to the same place anyway? Any why on earth would they expect that to succeed? The build system does not assume that you are building in the same directory where the sources reside. For example, if you are building mutt for multiple architectures or even different options for testing, you might create several build directories. The make target for the documentation copies from the source directory to the build directory. In the example you noted above, they are the same directory so it looks odd, but it is not in error. me

In the sense I can use whichever form I like, or in the sense that one or other will work, depending on which option I am trying to include? In the latter sense. --enable-* typically controls a feature that Mutt can provide. --with-* is used to control other software which Mutt might make use of (e.g. openssl, qdbm). This is typicaly of software which uses autoconf. Typically it's better to just install the docbook packages so you can build the docs. Actually I have (even though 'grep -iIr docbook *' in the src directory returns no results). It doesn't help. I'm unsure why you get that result since there are many references to docbook in the doc/ subdirectory. In the example you noted above, they are the same directory so it looks odd, but it is not in error. Well, make appears to disgree with you on that. It just stops after the errors noted above and I don't get a binary or whatever documentation it's trying to build. Admittedly, I have an old version, so it might not be a current problem (it's also the Cygwin version, so it might not even really be *your* problem). The problem is not the cp, but the fact that the documentation failed to build. The 'stat' error is saying the source file does not exist. me
Bounce message from a different from address.
I send a long email to a mailing list but after sending it I realized I send the email using the wrong from: address. Of course the message got bounced back because that address is not registered in the mailing list. Now this should be easy to do but I have not found a simple way to resend the message with a different from: address. The message is stored in my Sent folder but using the bounce function on it asks me to input a new destination (to:) address but what I want is to change the from: address and resend the message intact as it is. How to achieve this feat? -- regards, Horacio Sanson
