Re: amount of displayed characters of sender name in index view
* spaceman space...@antispaceman.com [2015-07-29 13:57]:
is there a way to tell mutt to show me more of the sender name in index
view? Currently it seems to be 15 characters regardless of the
(x)terminal dimensions.
The following should set the field width to twenty: Original
index_format = %4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l%4c?) %s
Modified
index_format = %4C %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20L (%?l?%4l%4c?) %s
Don't ask me why you need both numbers, all I know is that it related to
printf and right and left alignment.
May I suggest:
man mutt
man 3 printf

spaceman, Jon, dear others,
thank you so much for this advice and please excuse me for not having
checked the manpage this time.
best, P

The last manpage should describe both numbers.
In the example,
20 is the minimum width for the field
(pads if data is short, overflows if data is longer)
.20 is the maximum number of chars to put in the field
(truncates longer data)
- left justifies within the field, omit to right justify

When I first read it I just got lost. To correct an earlier mistake it should have been: man muttrc Regards, spaceman pgpRRRxlJeU8c.pgp Description: PGP signature
