- unchanged. The second is used when the mailbox has been changed, and it needs
- to be resynchronized. The third is used if the mailbox is in read-only mode, or
- if the mailbox will not be written when exiting that mailbox (You can toggle

-
- Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string if their
- value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the number of flagged
- messages if such messages exist, since zero is not particularly meaningful. To
- optionally print a string based upon one of the above sequences, the following
- construct is used
-
- %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
-
- where _\bs_\be_\bq_\bu_\be_\bn_\bc_\be_\b__\bc_\bh_\ba_\br is a character from the table above, and _\bo_\bp_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn_\ba_\bl_\b__\bs_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg is
- the string you would like printed if _\bs_\be_\bq_\bu_\be_\bn_\bc_\be_\b__\bc_\bh_\ba_\br is nonzero. _\bo_\bp_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn_\ba_\bl_\b__\bs_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg
- m\bma\bay\by contain other sequences as well as normal text, but you may n\bno\bot\bt nest
- optional strings.
-
- Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of new mes-
- sages in a mailbox:
-
- %?n?%n new messages.?
-
- Additionally you can switch between two strings, the first one, if a value is
- zero, the second one, if the value is nonzero, by using the following con-
- struct:
-
- %?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
-
- You can additionally force the result of any printf(3)-like sequence to be low-
- ercase by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (_) sign. For
- example, if you want to display the local hostname in lowercase, you would use:
-
- %_h
-
- If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (:) character, Mutt-ng will
- replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful with
- IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.

-
- With mailto: style links, a body as well as arbitrary header information may be

-
- When _\bu_\bn_\bs_\be_\bt, non MIME-compliant messages that doesn't have any charset indica-
- tion in the ``Content-Type:'' header field can be displayed (non MIME-compliant
- messages are often generated by old mailers or buggy mailers like MS Outlook
- Express). See also _\b$_\ba_\bs_\bs_\bu_\bm_\be_\bd_\b__\bc_\bh_\ba_\br_\bs_\be_\bt (section 7.4.11 , page 88).
-
- This option also replaces linear-white-space between encoded-word and *text to
- a single space to prevent the display of MIME-encoded ``Subject:'' header field
- from being devided into multiple lines.

- mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with the subject ``hi''
- which will get grouped together.

- matches _\b$_\bs_\bt_\br_\bi_\bp_\b__\bw_\ba_\bs_\b__\br_\be_\bg_\be_\bx (section 7.4.315 , page 163) when replying. This is

-
- Type: boolean
-
- Default: yes
-
- When _\bu_\bn_\bs_\be_\bt, Mutt-ng won't stop when the user presses the terminal's _\bs_\bu_\bs_\bp key,

- mand like ``xterm -e muttng.''

-
- When _\bs_\be_\bt, Mutt-ng will generate text/plain; format=flowed attachments. This
- format is easier to handle for some mailing software, and generally just looks
- like ordinary text. To actually make use of this format's features, you'll
- need support in your editor.
-
- Note that _\b$_\bi_\bn_\bd_\be_\bn_\bt_\b__\bs_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg (section 7.4.109 , page 111) is ignored when this

- Affects the ~b and ~h search operations described in section ``_\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (sec-

-
- Controls the character used to indicate mail addressed to you. The first char-
- acter is the one used when the mail is NOT addressed to your address (default:
- space). The second is used when you are the only recipient of the message
- (default: +). The third is when your address appears in the ``To:'' header
- field, but you are not the only recipient of the message (default: T). The
- fourth character is used when your address is specified in the ``Cc:'' header
- field, but you are not the only recipient. The fifth character is used to
- indicate mail that was sent by _\by_\bo_\bu. The sixth character is used to indicate
- when a mail was sent to a mailing-list you're subscribe to (default: L).
