I vaguely remember to have seen code to suppress screen updates while executing macros. Maybe the case of a fresh opened mailbox had been forgotten? It's in the source ... Gero

'push 1' Thanks for that. I had some macros to get back to the appropriate mailbox in the mailbox screen when I exit from the index, but they involved writing to a file and reading from it. With folder hooks, they become like this: folder-hook =ttl 'macro index h c?\t":e exec jump\n4"\n'\n folder-hook =mua 'macro index h c?\t":e exec jump\n5"\n'\n I don't know why the :e exec is necessary, but it is working and if I have just :exec it doesn't work. I couldn't get it working with the angle bracket notation. -- Greg Matheson Practitioners just do it. Reflective Chinmin College, Taiwan practitioners just think they did it. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Or did I make it up? :-) I'm not sure, but I think that there once was such a variable which was considered superfluous and removed. -- Byrial

With the source everything is possible. :-)
One way is to edit curs_main.c, find the function ci_first_message(),
delete all code lines but the last so the function looks like this:
static int ci_first_message (void)
{
return 0;
}
Then recompile and be happy.

Not really an option, but a supported method would be to set up a folder hook in your .muttrc, which matches all folders: folder-hook .

Trouble getting indicator to point to first message
Hi, I want to read my mail FIFO (ie oldest mail first). I don't have any "set sort" commands in my .muttrc, so mutt's defaulting to "date", which is just fine. However, the indicator goes to message 300, instead of message 1 when I start mutt. Is there an option to have the indicator go to message 1 at startup that I've missed in the manual? If not, is there any other way to accomplish this, please? $ mutt -v Mutt 1.0.1i (2000-01-18) Copyright (C) 1996-2000 Michael R. Elkins and others.
