When does one need to press 'm' to use the mailcap entry to view, and > when does pressing just Enter suffice? I don't know about NeoMutt, but I can confirm the described behavior for mutt. So might be a different behavior because you were running a different program. This is describe in the fine manual in section 1.3.1. Viewing Attachments.

Maybe someone who wants to see this feature should send a patch for it. Would certainly help with the active development part. While I know only very little of the mutt code base, I'd be willing to help and review such a patch. Active development needs a active community.

Since calling a folder-hook is not explicitly mentioned in the debug output, I opened up a debugger and put a breakpoint in mutt_folder_hook. It get's called as expected when I pass -f to mutt. I did not test it with the '=' shortcut, but with an absolute path though. Could you test it with '-f /path/to/Name', please? Also, what version are you using?

The idea behind this is, that can you view/edit the headers while replying. That's why the headers are cleared if you delete these lines. They want end up in the body of that mail. As already that said in another reply, 'set edit_headers=no' disables this feature.

Thanks for the feedback. The reason why I picked a short was to stick as close as possible to the original coding style (from my limited knowledge about the code base). Other than that, you raise valid points. > One could argue there should be a config variable to control this > sorting behavior, but I personally would neither make nor support that > argument. =8^) As you said yourself, no other behavior makes sense. Either you agree and apply the patch or you don't - no need for a config variable. ;) And you can still change the sort order while examining the directory.

My .muttrc is probably older than 1.13, but I'll try to fix my habits now. Also didn't know about $browser_sticky_cursor, but I guess I want it. :)

I explicitly configure my important folders in my '.muttrc' with
'mailboxes' in the order I want them to appear in mutt. To have them
appear in the order from '.muttrc' you need to 'set sort_browser=unsorted'.
Additionally I have the following macro to make the folder browser
always show the configured mailboxes:
macro index c "?" "open a different folder"
macro pager c "?" "open a different folder"

I have a patch which automatically changes to alphabetical sorting when
showing directory contents (this requires to build from source).
