Maildir 'c'
Hi, I'm playing with mutt+Maildir and I can't find an answer to this: When changing folders in maildir, how do you select the *directory* (eg. cur/) rather than opening it while in the 'c' folder-selection mode? Even using c =cur/ (w/ or w/o the '/') reports that /path/to/cur/ isnt' a mailbox. All the respective variables (mbox_type, folder, spoolfile) are set correctly afaict. Mike

IMHO a Maildir-formatted mailbox is a directory d which contains cur, new and tmp subdirectories. You just change to d (using the c key press) and mutt detects that it is a maildir mailbox. OK, so a multiple-boxed maildir setup would look like ~/mail/maildir/new/ cur/ tmp/ list1/new/ cur/ tmp/ list2/new/ cur/ tmp/ and so on? and then you would 'c' and choose between 'maildir', 'list1' and 'list2' as mailboxes. Once I figure this all out I'm going to write up a page -- this topic (using Maildir w/ mutt) is in need of more documentation. Thanks for the reply, Mike

limit-to and reverse_alias
This is debatable, but I think I found a bug. I have reverse_alias set, so email/names are mapped on incoming mail. If I do a 'l'imit messages to, I'd like to be able to use the displayed name, but I still have to limit to the email addy. understand? alias :r alias foo Manchu [EMAIL PROTECTED] in my index, I would normally see [EMAIL PROTECTED], but because of reverse_alias, I see "Manchu". To limit the display to this person, I have to do: lbob and I'd like to be able to do: lManchu ... sorry for the rambling post.. it's (very) late.

Re: automatically move old mail?

Pine does this, and I think it's usefull to prevent my HD filling up with old mail (and not having to delete every mail myself). I don't know of any way to do this w/ just mutt, but you could easly write a script to do it.

scroll padding
Is there a way to have the cursor automatically stop n-lines before the top or bottom of the screen unless you are at the beginning/end of the index? I find myself having to constantly recenter the cursor while I'm going through emails... Is this already possible, or is this not possible in mutt as it stands?

I just changed my editor entry to: # editor set editor='vim "+set tw=73"' This automatically sets a 73 column textwrap in vim, so that I no longer have to pipe all my email paragraphs through fmt. However, I just noticed that if I go back and type on a line, it doesn't automatically re-wrap the line, so it looks like I still do have to format it through fmt. :/ anyhow...

more color
Okay, previously I had a problem with color, and it was resolved that I was using a version of ncurses that was too old. On another server (OpenBSD 2.7) I've compiled mutt to test it out.

Perhaps you should try colour instead :)
Seriously, can you post a few lines before and after the color
statement?
Here ya go: (`r!cat ~/.muttrc | grep -5 color` -- gotta love vi)

Hi, Actually, it sounds like color support has been turned off. What does the output from "mutt -v" show. Specifically, what curses lib is your mutt built against and does "mutt -v" show +HAVE_COLOR or -HAVE_COLOR? Sure enough -HAVE_COLOR is in the compile options. However, when I went back to the source and did a ./configure --help, I didn't see any option to include color support. How do I recompile with color support?
