Re: ask-yes for sending?
Thanks José! Your email made me think of this problem in a new way. I've now modified my .muttrc with a "set editor" line like this: set editor="vim -c 'set syntax=mail ft=mail enc=utf-8' -c 'setlocal spell spelllang=en_us'" With that, my mutt is highlighting spelling errors as I type them. This has allowed me to remove my macro for spell checking before sending.

I use aspell with vim, at it highlights words that it doesn't recognize as I'm typing. Cheers, -- José María (Chema) Mateos || https://rinzewind.org

While a nice idea, I don't think this will work in my case. I already have the following: # Automatically call the spell checker before sending mail macro compose y "" 'Send message w/spell check' To be precise, what I would like is the ability to cancel sending when my ispell check shows me something that requires manual intervention. It would be nice to have a confirmation come up after spell checking, but before sending. Then, I could cancel the actual send and fix the error, and then send again. -Bryan

Instead of having Mutt invoke your MTA, you could have it invoke a script that asks you if you really want to send that email, and that only invokes your MTA if you answer affirmatively. You could perhaps modify msmtp-queue to do this, for instance. -- A: When it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: When is top-posting a bad thing? () ASCII ribbon campaign. Please avoid HTML emails & proprietary /\ file formats. (Why? See e.g. https://v.gd/jrmGbS ). Thank you.

In order to avoid accidentally sending a message because of fat fingers, I moved from using "y" to "Y": bind compose y noop bind compose Y send-message Cheers, Marcus -- Marcus C.
