muttjump [1] claims to be able to solve this problem but I did not tested it.
I'm usually totally fine with the feature of getting the whole thread of
a message (-r thread parameter for notmuch-mutti [2])
macro index,pager ,t \
"set my_old_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode my_old_wait_key=\$wait_key
nopipe_decode nowait_key\
notmuch-mutt -r thread\
`echo
${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/notmuch/mutt/results`\
set pipe_decode=\$my_old_pipe_decode
wait_key=\$my_old_wait_key" \
"notmuch: reconstruct thread"

Since I would like to add more than just a html alternative based on markdown (e.g. semantic annotation of parts of the message) - I will not use a ready tool but a library.

create multipart/alternative
Hi mutt users, is it possible to create mulitpart/alternative message parts in the compose screen? I need to write text/html mails (please don't ask ...) as multipart/alternative. My idea is to write markdown with vim and then convert it to text/html and add it to the message. Currently I'm using this macro for this: macro compose 'M' "cat >~/.cache/mutt/md2html.md && cat ~/.cache/mutt/md2html.md | markdown >~/.cache/mutt/md2html.html~/.cache/mutt/md2html.html" It works fine but the html part is not included as an alternative part for the text/plain part. There exists some post send filter to achieve this but they do not work in combination with encryption (and I do not have the sent copy in my archive) Another idea: Is it possible to put the complete message to a tool from the compose screen (which can parse and change it completely) and re-read it afterwards? I thinks is would allow a lot of other feature too. Best regards Sebastian Tramp -- WebID: http://sebastian.tramp.name pgpwGyJmdp77u.pgp Description: PGP signature

Currently, that means: 1. if idlemail.py [1] detects new mail in incoming folders 2. after I quit mutt I want to experiment with fsniper [2] in order to start offlineimap automatically when a maildir is changed locally but also without this, these two triggers are fine. Also you could start it by macro the maildir sync key to a macro which syncs and then starts offlineimap.

using a file selection command
Hi there, instead of using the file browser of mutt to select an attachment, I want to start a specific script / application which returns the file I want to attach. more concrete: I want to select one of the most recent edited documents from the desktop index so I do not need to remember where the file is and to browse through many dir levels.

hi, I have a question regarding macros in mutt. Currently I use these two macros for searching: macro generic ,f "mairix " "search via mairix" macro generic ,,f "=search" "load the search results mailbox" Can I optimize it in the way that after finishing the search with ,f - the result mailbox is automatically loaded?
