I almost always jump into vim to edit the email,
so it's easy to 'd$' or edit it.

Right now I have to delete character by character with the del key.

I want to delete everything in the subject field and add a better
(new) subject sometimes when forwarding email.


I use `C` in Vim to clear it and write a new one. But in the Mutt
editor/composer, there is probably support at least for `C-W` to delete
by word. I don't remember the emacs binding for line deletion. `C-K`?


Thanks C-w works to delete by word (and C-k also for the line).

Which can be achieved by C-a, in case you're interested.

look a the docs/man-page for your chosen editor. or if using mutt's
built-in, again check the docs.  mutt has some of the best documentation
available.  and of course there is always google.

 hint:  http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#editing

and then there is google

Pressing Ctrl+U while editing the field should do what you are
looking for.

Hi Pétùr, `C-u` does what you want. Standard bash shortcuts are
available in mutt and quite useful


Thanks!

I noticed also that C-k was working (but the cursor has to be at the
beginning of the line).

IMAP can serve you all attachments separately and even chunks of bytes at any
position of the remotely stored email. No idea how to do it with mutt.

Clear subject field

2017-11-20 Thread Pétùr 

Hi,

Is there a way to quickly clear the subject of an email?

Right now I have to delete character by character with the del key.

I want to delete everything in the subject field and add a better
(new) subject sometimes when forwarding email.
