is it possible to set pager search pattern based on message-hook?
I'd like to set search to a particular pattern when I view a message with a particular subject. The reason I want this is that some messages I receive have sections with section delimiters and I want search initialized to that delimiter pattern. Is this possible and if so can someone give me a hint as to how? -- Will Fiveash

I'm not sure if using '.' for the folder-hook maildir would execute the post-read command if mutt were quit before reading another maildir. The folder-hooks are primarily for setting Mutt configuration options. You can fake a post-read command by pushing a shell command that will be executed once the mailbox is loaded with something like this: folder-hook +foo '~/bin/myscript' However, there no way to make Mutt open a *different* mailbox like you described in your message. me

If I've understood you, I think mbox-hook (and possibly folder hooks and set move) will do what you want, without running external commands. -- Mike __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

How to redirect a maildir open, and/or how to execute external commands
I have a process for reviewing my spam maildir: Move all spam maildir messages to a temporary maildir so I don't get held up by new spam arriving while looking at it. Run mutt on the temp spam maildir. If I find ham in the temp spam maildir, manually move it elsewhere in a separate term. Move all temporary spmdir junque messages to the bit bucket. The only real drawback to this is that now that I have discovered sidebar and the amazing things which mutt's commands can do, I think there must be something better than running this special mutt wrapper script to do these steps. I'd like to have mutt recognize that I am visiting the spam dir and do these steps for me. If it could run pre- and post-read commands, that would be most of the trick, but it would also have to change the name of the maildir to the temp spam mail and leave the real spam maildir alone. Or maybe it could tell qmail to leave the spam maildir alone -- qmail will defer delivery temporarily if the home dir has the sticky bit set, but that's a bit crude. It will also defer delivery if the .qmail control file is writeable, which is more acceptable. I had avoided this just because it seemed something I would likely forget to restore afterwards. So is it possible to execute external commands before and after reading a specific maildir? folder-hook looks to be pre-read only. I'm not sure if using '.' for the folder-hook maildir would execute the post-read command if mutt were quit before reading another maildir. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
