544 # This variable controls how send-hooks, message-hooks, save-hooks,
546 # be interpreted if they are specified with only a simple regexp,
547 # instead of a matching pattern. The hooks are expanded when they are
548 # declared, so a hook will be interpreted according to the value of this

805 # set followup_to=yes
812 # Controls whether or not the Mail-Followup-To header field is
813 # generated when sending mail. When set, Mutt will generate this
814 # field when you are replying to a known mailing list, specified with
815 # the ``subscribe'' or ``lists'' commands.
817 # This field has two purposes. First, preventing you from
818 # receiving duplicate copies of replies to messages which you send
819 # to mailing lists, and second, ensuring that you do get a reply
820 # separately for any messages sent to known lists to which you are
821 # not subscribed. The header will contain only the list's address
822 # for subscribed lists, and both the list address and your own
823 # email address for unsubscribed lists. Without this header, a
824 # group reply to your message sent to a subscribed list will be
825 # sent to both the list and your address, resulting in two copies
826 # of the same email for you.
829 # set followup_to_poster=ask-yes
831 # Name: followup_to_poster

856 # set forward_decode=yes
858 # Name: forward_decode
863 # Controls the decoding of complex MIME messages into text/plain when
864 # forwarding a message. The message header is also RFC2047 decoded.

894 # Name: forward_quote
899 # When set forwarded messages included in the main body of the
900 # message (when ``$mime_forward'' is unset) will be quoted using
901 # ``$indent_string''.
907 # Type: e-mail address
911 # When set, this variable contains a default from address. It
912 # can be overridden using my_hdr (including from send-hooks) and

919 # set gecos_mask="^[^,]*"
922 # Type: regular expression
926 # A regular expression used by mutt to parse the GECOS field of a password
927 # entry when expanding the alias. By default the regular expression is set
928 # to "^[^,]*" which will return the string up to the first "," encountered.
929 # If the GECOS field contains a string like "lastname, firstname" then you
930 # should set the gecos_mask=".*".
932 # This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address a e-mail
933 # to user ID stevef whose full name is Steve Franklin. If mutt expands
934 # stevef to "Franklin" stevef@foo.bar then you should set the gecos_mask to
935 # a regular expression that will match the whole name so mutt will expand
936 # "Franklin" to "Franklin, Steve".

970 # composing a new message or replying in order to take effect. If set,
971 # the user defined header fields are added to every new message.
981 # When set, this variable causes Mutt to include the header
982 # of the message you are replying to into the edit buffer.
983 # The ``$weed'' setting applies.
993 # When set, help lines describing the bindings for the major functions
994 # provided by each menu are displayed on the first line of the screen.

3226 # from mutt. If it set to yes, they do quit, if it is set to no, they
3227 # have no effect, and if it is set to ask-yes or ask-no, you are
3228 # prompted for confirmation when you try to quit.

3233 # Name: quote_regexp
3234 # Type: regular expression
3235 # Default: "^([ \t]*[|>:}#])+"
3238 # A regular expression used in the internal-pager to determine quoted
3239 # sections of text in the body of a message.
3241 # Note: In order to use the quotedx patterns in the
3242 # internal pager, you need to set this to a regular expression that
3243 # matches exactly the quote characters at the beginning of quoted
3254 # If set to a value greater than 0, Mutt will display which message it
3255 # is currently on when reading a mailbox. The message is printed after
3256 # read_inc messages have been read (e.g., if set to 25, Mutt will
3257 # print a message when it reads message 25, and then again when it gets
3258 # to message 50). This variable is meant to indicate progress when
3259 # reading large mailboxes which may take some time.
3260 # When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the reading
3263 # Also see the ``$write_inc'' variable.
3273 # If set, all folders are opened in read-only mode.
3283 # This variable specifies what "real" or "personal" name should be used
3284 # when sending messages.
3286 # By default, this is the GECOS field from /etc/passwd. Note that this
3287 # variable will not be used when the user has set a real name
3288 # in the $from variable.
3291 # set recall=ask-yes
3298 # Controls whether or not Mutt recalls postponed messages
3299 # when composing a new message. Also see ``$postponed''.
3301 # Setting this variable to ``yes'' is not generally useful, and thus not
3312 # This specifies the file into which your outgoing messages should be
3313 # appended. (This is meant as the primary method for saving a copy of
3314 # your messages, but another way to do this is using the ``my_hdr''
3315 # command to create a Bcc: field with your email address in it.)
3317 # The value of $record is overridden by the ``$force_name'' and
3318 # ``$save_name'' variables, and the ``fcc-hook'' command.
3321 # set reply_regexp="^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[ \t]*"
3323 # Name: reply_regexp
3324 # Type: regular expression
3325 # Default: "^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[ \t]*"
3328 # A regular expression used to recognize reply messages when threading
3329 # and replying. The default value corresponds to the English "Re:" and
3340 # If unset and you are replying to a message sent by you, Mutt will
3341 # assume that you want to reply to the recipients of that message rather
3345 # set reply_to=ask-yes
3352 # If set, when replying to a message, Mutt will use the address listed
3353 # in the Reply-to: header as the recipient of the reply. If unset,
3354 # it will use the address in the From: header field instead. This
3355 # option is useful for reading a mailing list that sets the Reply-To:
3356 # header field to the list address and you want to send a private
3357 # message to the author of a message.
3367 # When set, the cursor will be automatically advanced to the next
3368 # (possibly undeleted) message whenever a command that modifies the
3369 # current message is executed.
3372 # set reverse_alias=no
3374 # Name: reverse_alias
3379 # This variable controls whether or not Mutt will display the "personal"
3380 # name from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that
3381 # matches the message's sender. For example, if you have the following
3384 # alias juser abd30425@somewhere.net (Joe User)
3386 # and then you receive mail which contains the following header:
3388 # From: abd30425@somewhere.net
3390 # It would be displayed in the index menu as ``Joe User'' instead of
3391 # ``abd30425@somewhere.net.'' This is useful when the person's e-mail
3392 # address is not human friendly (like CompuServe addresses).
3395 # set reverse_name=no
3397 # Name: reverse_name
3402 # It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine,
3403 # move the messages to another machine, and reply to some the messages
3404 # from there. If this variable is set, the default From: line of
3405 # the reply messages is built using the address where you received the
3406 # messages you are replying to if that address matches your
3407 # alternates. If the variable is unset, or the address that would be
3408 # used doesn't match your alternates, the From: line will use
3409 # your address on the current machine.
3412 # set reverse_realname=yes
3414 # Name: reverse_realname
3419 # This variable fine-tunes the behaviour of the reverse_name feature.
3420 # When it is set, mutt will use the address from incoming messages as-is,
3421 # possibly including eventual real names. When it is unset, mutt will
3422 # override any such real names with the setting of the realname variable.
3425 # set rfc2047_parameters=no
3427 # Name: rfc2047_parameters
3432 # When this variable is set, Mutt will decode RFC-2047-encoded MIME
3433 # parameters. You want to set this variable when mutt suggests you
3434 # to save attachments to files named like this:
3435 # =?iso-8859-1?Q?file=5F=E4=5F991116=2Ezip?=
3437 # When this variable is set interactively, the change doesn't have
3438 # the desired effect before you have changed folders.
3440 # Note that this use of RFC 2047's encoding is explicitly,
3441 # prohibited by the standard, but nevertheless encountered in the
3443 # Also note that setting this parameter will not have the effect
3444 # that mutt generates this kind of encoding. Instead, mutt will
3445 # unconditionally use the encoding specified in RFC 2231.
3448 # set save_address=no
3450 # Name: save_address
3455 # If set, mutt will take the sender's full address when choosing a
3456 # default folder for saving a mail. If ``$save_name'' or ``$force_name''
3457 # is set too, the selection of the fcc folder will be changed as well.
3460 # set save_empty=yes
3467 # When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed
3468 # when closed (the exception is ``$spoolfile'' which is never removed).
3469 # If set, mailboxes are never removed.
3471 # Note: This only applies to mbox and MMDF folders, Mutt does not
3472 # delete MH and Maildir directories.
3482 # This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved.
3483 # When set, a check is made to see if a mailbox specified by the
3484 # recipient address exists (this is done by searching for a mailbox in
3485 # the ``$folder'' directory with the username part of the
3486 # recipient address). If the mailbox exists, the outgoing message will
3487 # be saved to that mailbox, otherwise the message is saved to the
3488 # ``$record'' mailbox.
3490 # Also see the ``$force_name'' variable.
3500 # When this variable is unset, scoring is turned off. This can
3501 # be useful to selectively disable scoring for certain folders when the
3502 # ``$score_threshold_delete'' variable and friends are used.
3505 # set score_threshold_delete=-1
3507 # Name: score_threshold_delete
3512 # Messages which have been assigned a score equal to or lower than the value
3513 # of this variable are automatically marked for deletion by mutt. Since

3558 # set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"
3562 # Default: "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"
3565 # Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by Mutt.

3567 # arguments as recipient addresses.
3570 # set sendmail_wait=0
3572 # Name: sendmail_wait
3577 # Specifies the number of seconds to wait for the ``$sendmail'' process
3578 # to finish before giving up and putting delivery in the background.
3580 # Mutt interprets the value of this variable as follows:
3581 # >0 number of seconds to wait for sendmail to finish before continuing
3582 # 0 wait forever for sendmail to finish
3583 # <0 always put sendmail in the background without waiting
3586 # Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child

3628 # Name: show_only_unread
3633 # If set, only subscribed newsgroups that contain unread articles
3634 # will be displayed in browser.
3637 # set sig_dashes=yes
3644 # If set, a line containing ``-- '' will be inserted before your
3645 # ``$signature''. It is strongly recommended that you not unset
3646 # this variable unless your ``signature'' contains just your name. The
3647 # reason for this is because many software packages use ``-- \n'' to
3648 # detect your signature. For example, Mutt has the ability to highlight
3649 # the signature in a different color in the builtin pager.
3659 # If set, the signature will be included before any quoted or forwarded
3660 # text. It is strongly recommended that you do not set this variable
3661 # unless you really know what you are doing, and are prepared to take
3662 # some heat from netiquette guardians.
3665 # set signature="~/.signature"
3669 # Default: "~/.signature"
3672 # Specifies the filename of your signature, which is appended to all
3673 # outgoing messages. If the filename ends with a pipe (``|''), it is
3674 # assumed that filename is a shell command and input should be read from
3678 # set simple_search="~f %s | ~s %s"
3680 # Name: simple_search
3682 # Default: "~f %s | ~s %s"
3685 # Specifies how Mutt should expand a simple search into a real search
3686 # pattern. A simple search is one that does not contain any of the ~
3687 # operators. See ``patterns'' for more information on search patterns.
3689 # For example, if you simply type joe at a search or limit prompt, Mutt
3690 # will automatically expand it to the value specified by this variable.
3691 # For the default value it would be:
3696 # set smart_wrap=yes
3703 # Controls the display of lines longer than the screen width in the
3704 # internal pager. If set, long lines are wrapped at a word boundary. If
3705 # unset, lines are simply wrapped at the screen edge. Also see the
3706 # ``$markers'' variable.
3709 # set smileys="(>From )|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])"
3712 # Type: regular expression
3713 # Default: "(>From )|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])"
3716 # The pager uses this variable to catch some common false
3717 # positives of ``$quote_regexp'', most notably smileys in the beginning
3728 # Specifies time, in seconds, to pause while displaying certain informational
3729 # messages, while moving from folder to folder and after expunging
3730 # messages from the current folder. The default is to pause one second, so
3731 # a value of zero for this option suppresses the pause.
3741 # Specifies how to sort messages in the index menu. Valid values
3747 # mailbox-order (unsorted)
3755 # You may optionally use the reverse- prefix to specify reverse sorting
3756 # order (example: set sort=reverse-date-sent).
3759 # set sort_alias=alias
3766 # Specifies how the entries in the `alias' menu are sorted. The
3767 # following are legal values:
3769 # address (sort alphabetically by email address)
3770 # alias (sort alphabetically by alias name)
3771 # unsorted (leave in order specified in .muttrc)
3781 # When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted
3782 # in relation to other threads, and how the branches of the thread trees
3783 # are sorted. This can be set to any value that ``$sort'' can, except
3784 # threads (in that case, mutt will just use date-sent). You can also
3785 # specify the last- prefix in addition to the reverse- prefix, but last-
3786 # must come after reverse-. The last- prefix causes messages to be
3787 # sorted against its siblings by which has the last descendant, using
3788 # the rest of sort_aux as an ordering. For instance, set sort_aux=last-
3789 # date-received would mean that if a new message is received in a
3790 # thread, that thread becomes the last one displayed (or the first, if
3791 # you have set sort=reverse-threads.) Note: For reversed ``$sort''
3792 # order $sort_aux is reversed again (which is not the right thing to do,
3793 # but kept to not break any existing configuration setting).
3796 # set sort_browser=alpha
3798 # Name: sort_browser
3803 # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the
3804 # entries are sorted alphabetically. Valid values:
3806 # alpha (alphabetically)
3811 # You may optionally use the reverse- prefix to specify reverse sorting
3812 # order (example: set sort_browser=reverse-date).
3822 # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with
3823 # ``$strict_threads'' unset. In that case, it changes the heuristic
3824 # mutt uses to thread messages by subject. With sort_re set, mutt will
3825 # only attach a message as the child of another message by subject if
3826 # the subject of the child message starts with a substring matching the
3827 # setting of ``$reply_regexp''. With sort_re unset, mutt will attach
3828 # the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the
3829 # non-``$reply_regexp'' parts of both messages are identical.
3832 # set spam_separator=","
3834 # Name: spam_separator
3839 # ``spam_separator'' controls what happens when multiple spam headers
3840 # are matched: if unset, each successive header will overwrite any
3841 # previous matches value for the spam label. If set, each successive
3842 # match will append to the previous, using ``spam_separator'' as a
3853 # If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt cannot find
3854 # it, you can specify its location with this variable. Mutt will
3855 # automatically set this variable to the value of the environment
3856 # variable $MAIL if it is not set.
3859 # set status_chars="-*%A"
3861 # Name: status_chars
3866 # Controls the characters used by the "%r" indicator in
3867 # ``$status_format''. The first character is used when the mailbox is
3868 # unchanged. The second is used when the mailbox has been changed, and
3869 # it needs to be resynchronized. The third is used if the mailbox is in
3870 # read-only mode, or if the mailbox will not be written when exiting
3871 # that mailbox (You can toggle whether to write changes to a mailbox
3872 # with the toggle-write operation, bound by default to "%"). The fourth
3873 # is used to indicate that the current folder has been opened in attach-
3874 # message mode (Certain operations like composing a new mail, replying,
3875 # forwarding, etc. are not permitted in this mode).
3878 # set status_format="-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)-%>-(%P)---"
3880 # Name: status_format
3882 # Default: "-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)-%>-(%P)---"
3885 # Controls the format of the status line displayed in the index
3886 # menu. This string is similar to ``$index_format'', but has its own
3887 # set of printf()-like sequences:
3889 # %b number of mailboxes with new mail *
3890 # %d number of deleted messages *
3891 # %f the full pathname of the current mailbox
3892 # %F number of flagged messages *
3894 # %l size (in bytes) of the current mailbox *
3895 # %L size (in bytes) of the messages shown
3896 # (i.e., which match the current limit) *
3897 # %m the number of messages in the mailbox *
3898 # %M the number of messages shown (i.e., which match the current limit) *
3899 # %n number of new messages in the mailbox *
3900 # %o number of old unread messages *
3901 # %p number of postponed messages *

3911 # %>X right justify the rest of the string and pad with "X"
3912 # %|X pad to the end of the line with "X"
3915 # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
3917 # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string
3918 # if their value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the
3919 # number of flagged messages if such messages exist, since zero is not
3920 # particularly meaningful. To optionally print a string based upon one
3921 # of the above sequences, the following construct is used
3923 # %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
3925 # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and
3926 # optional_string is the string you would like printed if
3927 # sequence_char is nonzero. optional_string may contain
3928 # other sequences as well as normal text, but you may not nest
3931 # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of
3932 # new messages in a mailbox:
3933 # %?n?%n new messages.?
3935 # Additionally you can switch between two strings, the first one, if a
3936 # value is zero, the second one, if the value is nonzero, by using the
3937 # following construct:
3938 # %?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
3940 # You can additionally force the result of any printf-like sequence to
3941 # be lowercase by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore
3942 # (_) sign. For example, if you want to display the local hostname in
3943 # lowercase, you would use:
3946 # If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (:) character, mutt
3947 # will replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful
3948 # with IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.
3951 # set status_on_top=no

3959 # the first line of the screen rather than near the bottom.
3962 # set strict_threads=no
3964 # Name: strict_threads
3969 # If set, threading will only make use of the ``In-Reply-To'' and
3970 # ``References'' fields when you ``$sort'' by message threads. By
3971 # default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in
3972 # ``pseudo threads.'' This may not always be desirable, such as in a
3973 # personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with
3974 # the subject ``hi'' which will get grouped together.
3984 # When unset, mutt won't stop when the user presses the terminal's
3985 # susp key, usually ``control-Z''. This is useful if you run mutt
3986 # inside an xterm using a command like xterm -e mutt.
3989 # set text_flowed=no
3996 # When set, mutt will generate text/plain; format=flowed attachments.
3997 # This format is easier to handle for some mailing software, and generally
3998 # just looks like ordinary text. To actually make use of this format's
3999 # features, you'll need support in your editor.
4001 # Note that $indent_string is ignored when this option is set.

4017 # Name: thorough_search
4022 # Affects the ~b and ~h search operations described in
4023 # section ``patterns'' above. If set, the headers and attachments of
4024 # messages to be searched are decoded before searching. If unset,
4025 # messages are searched as they appear in the folder.
4035 # When set, the internal-pager will pad blank lines to the bottom of the
4036 # screen with a tilde (~).
4046 # This variable controls the number of seconds Mutt will wait
4047 # for a key to be pressed in the main menu before timing out and
4048 # checking for new mail. A value of zero or less will cause Mutt
4049 # to never time out.

4072 # Controls the character used to indicate mail addressed to you. The
4073 # first character is the one used when the mail is NOT addressed to your
4074 # address (default: space). The second is used when you are the only
4075 # recipient of the message (default: +). The third is when your address
4076 # appears in the TO header field, but you are not the only recipient of
4077 # the message (default: T). The fourth character is used when your
4078 # address is specified in the CC header field, but you are not the only
4079 # recipient. The fifth character is used to indicate mail that was sent
4080 # by you. The sixth character is used to indicate when a mail
4081 # was sent to a mailing-list you subscribe to (default: L).

4108 # Warning: do not set this variable unless you are using a version
4109 # of sendmail which supports the -B8BITMIME flag (such as sendmail
4110 # 8.8.x) or you may not be able to send mail.
4112 # When set, Mutt will invoke ``$sendmail'' with the -B8BITMIME
4113 # flag when sending 8-bit messages to enable ESMTP negotiation.
