Thanks David, the date_conditional patch did the work!

I haven't looked at this particular patch and the functionality it
offers, but couldn't one come pretty close with a combination of that
and muttrc GNU date shell/backtick expansions?

Granted, it would be something of a kludge, but I don't see why it
couldn't be made to work. (date's +%-j format might come in handy.)

You need the "date_conditional" patch to make date formats conditional
upon relative date offsets, but even so you can only say "in the last 6
months" or the like -- not "in the current year".

index_format setting to show yr

[SK]

Hi,

Is there any way to setup mutt (the date_format variable?) such that
in the index view, the year is shown only if the year of the message
is different from the current year? The default "%d"  shows only the
"Month date".

Thanks,
SK
