I have added all my (important) mail folders to the mailboxes list, and
I am now very fond of y to browse them. Some small features are
missing, though, so I thought I'd ask here for ideas:
- How to navigate to the next/previous mailbox with new mail?
- How to restrict the list of mailboxes
I used to use Gnus which is a newsreader at heart. Therefore the method
to organize mail in folders ("groups" in Gnus-speak) was different from
what I think I need with Mutt.
I'd like to get some ideas from you how you organize your mail.
For reference, here is what I think the problem might be.

Well, the command is called "change-folder", but yo

Or maybe you have a better strategy?)

I find that I (fairly) often get messages with no charset specified, or
with the wrong charset specified, so I do Ctrl-E on them and edit the
charset parameter to windows-1252, which seems to work well for most
cases.
Is it possble to automate this, so that I only have to press a single
key?

No, but you can use folder-hook to set the default save folder. Of
course, this is really a bear because you have to repeat it for every
folder...
For example:
folde
What exactly do backquotes do? I've seen the uname example in the
manual, but that leaves a number of questions open.
For example, can I only use backquotes for the value? Or can I also use
it for the name?
| set foo=`echo bar`
This is a somewhat silly way to set the variable foo to the value
t does not indicate a charset. When I do Ctrl-E on this
message, the prompt says "charset=us-ascii". Editing that to
"charset=windows-1252" does the trick -- Mutt now shows umlauts as such
instead of as question marks.

Type Ctrl-E on the message and replace the charset iso-8859-1 with
Windows-1252. If the message has multiple parts, hit v then choose the
part that is displayed wrongly, then do Ctrl-E as described above.
Does it help?

Ctrl-b invokes urlview which provides a list of URLs in the current
message and allows me to choose one of them to view it. This invokes
w3m or elinks. This is good.
But from time to time I want to invoke other browsers. Or just copy the
URL to the X11 clipboard.
Is there an alternative to url

I understand that you run mutt on two different machines, right? One is
your home machine, one is the remote mail server?
Then you need to keep ~/.mutt in sync between the two servers.

I understand that I can set $signature to a file name with my signature.
Then all subsequent outgoing messages will have that signature appended.
Or I can set $signature to something else or remove the file. Then all

non-ascii characters in headers. The above is your name
