pattern aliases
I was unable to find an answer to this question on the wiki, in the manual or in the mailing list archives. Is it possible to create aliases for commonly used patterns? For instance, when I begin working on project foo, I often start by limiting my messages to something like (~f example.org | ~f sample.com) ~s foo !~s PATCH It gets tedious to type that each time. I'd like to put something like this in my .muttrc pattern_alias foo (~f example.org | ~f sample.com) ~s foo !~s PATCH and then just limit my messages to the pattern foo. Is something similar possible? Thank you. -- Michael

For a real world example, I have this one: macro index y limit~h ^^x-label:.* limit by X-Label header to easily commence a limit by X-Label: header limit.
