But in any case, the problem with this is that I'd like to provide a new subject line once for all messages, but not really redefined $editor every time. Ideally, I'd have a keybinding doing all this, and using e.g. $response on the right-hand-side of the regexp. Now, how do I fill $response sensibly? /me wants mutt to have a function. -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. teach a man to fish, and he'll buy a funny hat. talk to a hungry man about fish, and you're a consultant." -- scott adams spamtraps: [EMAIL PROTECTED] digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/)
