Cntrl-D and scrolling
Hi all, Mutt's nice to delete entire threads in the index mode...lends to very speedy skimming of mailing lists. My question, I would like for Mutt to scroll 1 entire page forward when it hits the bottom of the screen in the index. Ie. say I have 200 messages and can view 50 messages per thread. Currently, when I've deleted message 50, I only scoll one line down and see mess. 51. I'd like to scroll to see mess 51-100. This makes it very easy to see which threads are lengthy and potentially interesting. Can Mutt do this? TIA, T
why is mutt not acknowedlging all my folders?
OK, So I use 'c' all the time to go through all of my mailboxes and find out which box has new mail. A couple of questions. It appears Mutt is only acknowledging some of my mail folders (all in maildir format in the same folder base) when they have new mail. I've currently got about 7 different mailing lists but mutt only seems to pick three of these. It also cycles them in a specific order: Redhat -> Bind -> Mutt (each time) But it never gets to the others (Python, Qmail ,etc) Q1: How do I control which folders will show up when I hit c (assuming the folder has new mail)? Q2: How do I control the order of what comes up first? Thanks, -Thomas
Re: syntax highlighting in pager - browse mail fas
Thank you everyone who responded to this. Mutt is really great. I switched to a Linux desktop last year and used Netscape as the default for a long time. I hated it. It was really ugly and mail was no fun. Now, through the help of this list, customizing Mutt has made mail a real joy again. (Plus I can easily go through hundreds of emails a day!) -Thomas Sometime near Wed, Apr 04, 2001 at 07:35:29PM +0200, Erika Pacholleck wrote: > ( Apr-04-2001 ) Thomas Duterme <--: > > This was just my gut feeling for how to speed through mail > > in the pager.

syntax highlighting in pager - browse mail fas
Hi everyone, I would like to get Mutt to highlight the subject line while I browse my mail. Why? I go through about 500-600 emails a day (mostly mailing lists) and it would be nice to page through these in the pager mode and delete the threads as I go in this mode. Currently, I scan things through the index since my eyes can't quite speed through things as fast in the pager. This was just my gut feeling for how to speed through mail in the pager. Anyone have any other clever ways? I'd love to hear how others browse through high quantities of mail. TIA, -Thomas
how-to elimintate headers in folder-hooks
Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to mutt, but I love it so far. My one problem: I'd like to eliminate, or reduce headers at least in my mailboxes. Actually, I'ld like to if possible just keep the basic headers like Subject and From, rather than get the entire envelope. Is this possible? TIA, Thomas
