-
- This field has two purposes. First, preventing you from receiving duplicate
- copies of replies to messages which you send to mailing lists. Second, ensuring
- that you do get a reply separately for any messages sent to known lists to
- which you are not subscribed. The header will contain only the list's address
- for subscribed lists, and both the list address and your own email address for
- unsubscribed lists. Without this header, a group reply to your message sent to
- a subscribed list will be sent to both the list and your address, resulting in
- two copies of the same email for you.

-
- A regular expression used by Mutt-ng to parse the GECOS field of a password
- entry when expanding the alias. By default the regular expression is set to
- ``^[^,]*'' which will return the string up to the first ``,'' encountered. If
- the GECOS field contains a string like 'lastname, firstname' then you should
- do: set gecos_mask='.*'.
-
- This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address a e-mail to
- user ID stevef whose full name is Steve Franklin. If Mutt-ng expands stevef to
- ``Franklin'' stevef@foo.bar then you should set the gecos_mask to a regular
- expression that will match the whole name so Mutt-ng will expand ``Franklin''

-
- Type: boolean
-
- Default: no
-
- If _\bs_\be_\bt, forces Mutt-ng to interpret keystrokes with the high bit (bit 8) set as
- if the user had pressed the ESC key and whatever key remains after having the
- high bit removed. For example, if the key pressed has an ASCII value of 0xf4,
- then this is treated as if the user had pressed ESC then ``x''. This is
- because the result of removing the high bit from ``0xf4'' is ``0x74'', which is
- the ASCII character ``x''.

-
- Type: quadoption
-
- Default: no
-
- When _\bs_\be_\bt, the message you are forwarding will be attached as a separate MIME
- part instead of included in the main body of the message.
-
- This is useful for forwarding MIME messages so the receiver can properly view
- the message as it was delivered to you. If you like to switch between MIME and
- not MIME from mail to mail, set this variable to ask-no or ask-yes.
-

- Determines the number of lines of a mini-index which is shown when in the
- pager. The current message, unless near the top or bottom of the folder, will
- be roughly one third of the way down this mini-index, giving the reader the
- context of a few messages before and after the message. This is useful, for
- example, to determine how many messages remain to be read in the current
- thread. One of the lines is reserved for the status bar from the index, so a
- _\bp_\ba_\bg_\be_\br_\b__\bi_\bn_\bd_\be_\bx_\b__\bl_\bi_\bn_\be_\bs of 6 will only show 5 lines of the actual index. A value of
- 0 results in no index being shown. If the number of messages in the current
- folder is less than _\bp_\ba_\bg_\be_\br_\b__\bi_\bn_\bd_\be_\bx_\b__\bl_\bi_\bn_\be_\bs, then the index will only use as many
- lines as it needs.

-
- Default: no
-
- If _\bs_\be_\bt, Mutt-ng will automatically attempt to decrypt traditional PGP messages
- whenever the user performs an operation which ordinarily would result in the
- contents of the message being operated on. For example, if the user displays a

- tional pgp.

-
- When this variable is _\bs_\be_\bt interactively, the change doesn't have the desired

-
- Note that this use of RFC 2047's encoding is explicitly, prohibited by the

-
- Also note that setting this parameter will _\bn_\bo_\bt have the effect that Mutt-ng

-
- Type: boolean
-
- Default: no
-
- When _\bs_\be_\bt, the ``hierarchy'' of the sidebar entries will be shortened only if
- they cannot be printed in full length (because ``_\b$_\bs_\bi_\bd_\be_\bb_\ba_\br_\b__\bw_\bi_\bd_\bt_\bh (section

- shortened ``d.a.s.recovery'' while ``de.alt.d0'' still would and thus will not
- get shortened.

-
- For example, if you simply type ``joe'' at a search or limit prompt, Mutt-ng

-
- ~f joe | ~s joe

- * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
-
- 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.

- 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 7.4.113 , page 114) is ignored when this

-
- Affects the ~b and ~h search operations described in section ``_\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (sec-
- tion 7.2 , page 82)'' above. If _\bs_\be_\bt, the headers and attachments of messages
- to be searched are decoded before searching. If _\bu_\bn_\bs_\be_\bt, messages are searched
- as they appear in the folder.

-
- 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).
