ailasing mailboxes
Is it possible to alias a mailbox? I often need to save messages to a remote IMAP box... example... my mail is all stored in imaps://dan@localhost/... once in a while, I need to save a message to imaps://user@localhost/path/to/box typing it manually every time is no fun... but what other options do I have? do I need to write macros for saving a message, saving all tagged messages, changing to that folder, etc? is there no way to magically make "mbx" always expand to "imaps://..." in every prompt?

folder-hook and push conflicts with imap?
here's a weird error I ran into... I have the following settings: set spoolfile=imaps://user@box/ folder-hook . 'push ~=\n' now, when I start up mutt, instead of being prompted for the password for my account, I just get an error (login failed, I think). So I tried "mutt -f imaps://box/" and got the following: "Password for user~=@box:" which of course, fails to log me in. This is a bug with the folder hook, right? it probably shouldn't be run until _after_ the login completes... or am I missing something obvious?

You can use *-hooks, if you always want to send from a certain folder as a certain address, or when replying to certain emails. What I use though is a bunch of macros, that will change my current setup, so that every message from now on will be sent as a new profile... so something like (from memory, untested): macro index ':set [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n:set signature="~/.sig-addr"' macro index ':set [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n:set signature="~/.sig-addr2"' etc...

How do I fix this one? from the manual: Note: the send-hook's are only executed ONCE after getting the initial list of recipients. Adding a recipient after replying or editing the message will NOT cause any send-hook to be executed. Also note that my_hdr commands which modify recipient headers, or the message's subject, don't have any effect on the current message when executed from a send-hook. so it's supposed to run AFTER getting the addressees. I think what you see if the "my_hdr" clause, saying a send-hook cannot apply a my_hdr command to the current message. The only way I know to get around this is to either set up folder-hooks, or macros to apply the changes before the msg is composed. -- Dan Boger [EMAIL PROTECTED] msg29546/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
