Ahh. I understand. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yep, that does the trick. Thanks for it.

actually, in this case, you don't need the default command above.

the following should suffice:

'limit' is a function, not a command.  folder-hooks execute commands 
not functions.  However, the 'push' and 'exec' commands will execute 
functions.  So one solution would be this:

   folder-hook =Mailinglisten.mutt-users 'push ~N'

You don't need a default hook to "limit all" because the limit list 
is cleared when you change folders.

How to limit displayed messages via folder-hooks

[Patrick Schoenfeld]

Hi,

i am reading several mailing lists (including mutt-users) and prefer to view
those folders with 'limit ~N'. But it seems not to be possible to enable this
limit for folders by default, by using folder-hooks.

Example:
folder-hook . 'limit all'
folder-hook =Mailinglisten.mutt-users 'limit ~N'

It says that limit is an unknown command. But why? According to the help texts
with '?' this is exactly the command hiding behind the keybinding 'l'. What
would I need to do in order to achieve what I want?

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards

Patrick
