Yes. :-) * means "any number (0 or more) of the character just before", so using * alone doesn't make sense, as there is no character just before it. * works as a wildcard for "anything" in some cases in the Mutt parser, but those cases have been special-cased and they aren't usually regexps actually. But if you want automatic saving of read messages, what you're looking for is in fact: folder-hook . set record='+read.mutt' But this is assuming I am only subscribed mutt-users right? So all mails go to "read.mutt" because of that "." in folder-hook. Oops, what I meant is probably something like this: folder-hook . set record='+read' folder-hook =mutt set record='+read.mutt' Although the folder hook(s) would depend on what folder names you have. The idea is that the default stored folder is +read, and for the =mutt folder it's +read.mutt... Hope this example illustrates to you how to set it up, and it's what you'd like. The example I gave before was a bit wrong, as you indeed wouldn't want $record pointing to +read.mutt for *every* folder. :-) Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

I wonder how come nobody else caught this yet and corrected me? :-) Anyway, I shouldn't be talking about $record, I mean $mbox of course. eg. folder-hook . set mbox='+read' $record is your default saved outgoing messages (Fcc) folder, $mbox is the folder where read messages go. I never change $record and I don't use $mbox myself, that's my excuse for confusing the two. :-) Reading the documentation on $move and $mbox, it turns out that this feature is only enabled for the spool mailbox, so apparently you can't use it to auto-save read messages for other incoming mail folders??? Although I'm not sure what would be the result if you changed $spoolfile in each folder-hook... It's easy enough to test whether the documentation is right, I haven't got the time *right now* though.

Help on save-hook please
Hi. I've been running mutt for several days now and also managed to setup my own procmail recipes. My problem is with the the save-hook as I want to be able to save read messages to, let's say, a "Mail\read.mutt" file. This is my present ~/.muttrc contents for the save-hook: folder-hook . set sort=threads folder-hook /var/mail/rino set sort=date-received folder-hook =sent set sort=date-sent folder-hook . save-hook * =received folder-hook IN.misc save-hook * =obsd folder-hook IN.ipfilter save-hook * =ipf folder-hook IN.mutt-users save-hook * =mutters I have "~/Mail/IN.misc", "~/Mail/IN.ipfilter", "~/Mail/IN.mutt-users" for my other mailboxes which I can read using "mutt -f". I have gone and checked the FAQs, Nancy's, and the mini-FAQ (bronto-FAQ now) and couldn't find a clue why read messages still reside in my ~/Mail/IN.mutt file or any other mailboxes. For normal mail that arrives in /var/mail/rino they get saved in "~/Mail/received" without problems but not any other messages from my other mailboxes.

Do you want to save read messages automatically when you exit a folder, or do you want to specify the default folder you're given in the prompt when you choose to save a message? The first is done by setting $record appropriately (and $move should be something else than "no", of course). The second is done with save-hooks (or fcc-save-hooks, but you seem to want just save-hooks). save-hooks are checked when you do save-message which is bound to "s" by default, they are not checked on folder exit. folder-hook . save-hook * =received The * should be a . instead, like this: folder-hook . save-hook . =received But if you want automatic saving of read messages, what you're looking for is in fact: folder-hook . set record='+read.mutt' The + character is a shortcut to your $folder dir, which by default is ~/Mail. Alternatively you could also use = instead of +, but in the above it would be confusing. :-) Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

Either I need new reading glasses or more sleep as I wasn't able to find what that "+" means up to now. Thank you for responding.
