To use aliases, you merely use the alias at any place in mutt where mutt
prompts for addresses, such as the _\bT_\bo_\b: or _\bC_\bc_\b: prompt. You can also enter
aliases in your editor at the appropriate headers if you have the _\b$_\be_\bd_\bi_\bt_\b__\bh_\be_\ba_\bd_\be_\br_\bs

Mutt-ng contains support for so-called format=flowed messages. In the begin-
ning of email, each message had a fixed line width, and it was enough for dis-
fixed-size terminals.
For introductory information on format=flowed messages, see
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 33
+
<http://www.joeclark.org/ffaq.html>.

When you receive emails that are marked as format=flowed messages, and is for-
matted correctly, mutt-ng will try to reformat the message to optimally fit on
your terminal. If you want a fixed margin on the right side of your terminal,
you can set the following:
- set wrapmargin = 10
-
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 32
+ set wrapmargin = 10
The code above makes the line break 10 columns before the right side of the
terminal.
If your terminal is so wide that the lines are embarrassingly long, you can
also set a maximum line length:
- set max_line_length = 120
+ set max_line_length = 120
The example above will give you lines not longer than 120 characters.
When you view at format=flowed messages, you will often see the quoting hierar-
chy like in the following example:
- >Bill, can you please send last month's progress report to Mr.
- >Morgan? We also urgently need the cost estimation for the new
- >production server that we want to set up before our customer's
- >project will go live.
+ >Bill, can you please send last month's progress report to Mr.
+ >Morgan? We also urgently need the cost estimation for the new
+ >production server that we want to set up before our customer's
+ >project will go live.
This obviously doesn't look very nice, and it makes it very hard to differenti-
ate between text and quoting character. The solution is to configure mutt-ng to
"stuff" the quoting:
- set stuff_quoted
+ set stuff_quoted
This will lead to a nicer result that is easier to read:
- > Bill, can you please send last month's progress report to Mr.
- > Morgan? We also urgently need the cost estimation for the new
- > production server that we want to set up before our customer's
- > project will go live.
+ > Bill, can you please send last month's progress report to Mr.

Additionally, you have to use an editor which supports writing format=flowed-
conforming emails. For vim, this is done by adding w to the formatoptions (see

+ According to the standard, clients receiving a format=flowed messages should

(Tip: try %?H?[%H] ? to display spam tags only when they are defined for a
given message.)
Your first step is to define your external filter's spam patterns using the
spam command. _\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn should be a regular expression that matches a header in a
mail message. If any message in the mailbox matches this regular expression, it
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 42
+
will receive a ``spam tag'' or ``spam attribute'' (unless it also matches a
nospam pattern -- see below.) The appearance of this attribute is entirely up
to you, and is governed by the _\bf_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt parameter. _\bf_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt can be any static text,
mutt will sort numerically first, and lexically only when two numbers are equal
in value. (This is like UNIX's sort -n.) A message with no spam attributes at
all -- that is, one that didn't match _\ba_\bn_\by of your spam patterns -- is sorted at
-

-
lowest priority. Numbers are sorted next, beginning with 0 and ranging upward.
Finally, non-numeric strings are sorted, with ``a'' taking lower priority than
``z''. Clearly, in general, sorting by spam tags is most effective when you can
still do something useful.
The nospam command can be used to write exceptions to spam patterns. If a
+

header pattern matches something in a spam command, but you nonetheless do not
want it to receive a spam tag, you can list a more precise pattern under a
nospam command.

Prefixing a variable with ``no'' will unset it. Example: set noaskbcc.

When using a configuration on different systems, the user may not always have
influence on how mutt-ng is installed and which features it includes.
To solve this, mutt-ng contain a feature based on the ``ifdef'' patch written
for mutt. Its basic syntax is:
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 44
-
ifdef <item> <command>
ifndef <item> <command>
...whereby <item> can be one of:

+\bo a variable name
An example for testing for variable names can be used if users use different
revisions of mutt-ng whereby the older one may not have a certain variable. To

executes the command if the test fails. For example, the following two examples

be quoted by preceding it with a backslash.
sign ``$'' are metacharacters that respectively match the empty string at the
beginning and end of a line.
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 48

A list of characters enclosed by ``['' and ``]'' matches any single character
in that list; if the first character of the list is a caret ``^'' then it
matches any character n\bno\bot\bt in the list. For example, the regular expression
[:space:]
Space characters (such as space, tab and formfeed, to name a few).

-
[:upper:]
Upper-case alphabetic characters.
A character class is only valid in a regular expression inside the brackets of
a character list. Note that the brackets in these class names are part of the
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 49
+
symbolic names, and must be included in addition to the brackets delimiting the
bracket list. For example, [\b[[\b[:\b:d\bdi\big\bgi\bit\bt:\b:]\b]]\b] is equivalent to [\b[0\b0-\b-9\b9]\b].
The preceding item is matched at least _\bn times, but no more than _\bm

most simple possibility is to logically AND several patterns by stringing them
together:
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 51
+
~s 'SPAM' ~U
The pattern above matches all messages that contain ``SPAM'' in the subject and
~d 28/12/2004*1d
The first pattern matches all dates between January 1st, 2005 and January 1st
-
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 50
-
2006. The second pattern matches all dates between October 18th, 2004 and
October 4th 2004 (2 weeks before 18/10/2004), while the third pattern matches
all dates 1 day around December 28th, 2004 (i.e. Dec 27th, 28th and 29th).
date ranges between a fixed number of units and the current date. How this
works can be seen in the following example:
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 52

~d >2w # messages older than two weeks
~d <3d # messages newer than 3 days
~d =1m # messages that are exactly one month old

To include the mailbox' name is as easy as:
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 53
+
set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: ...
When the currently opened mailbox is Inbox, this will be expanded to:
%?<item>?<string if nonzero>&<string if zero>?
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 52
-
Using this we can make mutt-ng to do the following:
+\bo make it print ``_\bn new messages'' whereby _\bn is the count but only if there
+\bo and make it print ``no new messages'' if there aren't any
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 54

The corresponding configuration is:
set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: %?n?%n new messages&no new messages? ...

a way to fill the gap between two items via the %>X expando: it
puts as many characters X in between two items so that the rest of

Sometimes it is desirable to perform an operation on a group of messages all at
ject. To tag all messages matching a pattern, use the tag-pattern function,
which is bound to ``shift-T'' by default. Or you can select individual mes-
sages by hand using the ``tag-message'' function, which is bound to ``t'' by

syntax.
Once you have tagged the desired messages, you can use the ``tag-prefix'' oper-
ator, which is the ``;'' (semicolon) key by default. When the ``tag-prefix''
operator is used, the n\bne\bex\bxt\bt operation will be applied to all tagged messages if
- that operation can be used in that manner. If the _\b$_\ba_\bu_\bt_\bo_\b__\bt_\ba_\bg (section 6.4.16 ,

+ page 92) variable is set, the next operation applies to the tagged messages
automatically, without requiring the ``tag-prefix''.

you can use the ``tag-prefix-cond'' operator. If there are no tagged messages,
mutt will "eat" the rest of the macro to abort it's execution. Mutt-ng will
stop "eating" the macro when it encounters the ``end-cond'' operator; after
arbitrary commands before performing some operation. For example, you may wish
to tailor your configuration based upon which mailbox you are reading, or to
whom you are sending mail. In the Mutt-ng world, a _\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk consists of a _\br_\be_\bg_\bu_\bl_\ba_\br

compressed. This is important because it allows the use of programs that do not
have well defined extensions. Just use '.' as a regexp. But this may be sur-
prising if your compressing script produces empty files. In this situation,

+ mailcap format, allowing you to specify handling for all MIME types in one
+ place for all programs. Programs known to use this format include Netscape,
XMosaic, lynx and metamail.
In order to handle various MIME types that Mutt-ng can not handle internally,
Mutt-ng parses a series of external configuration files to find an external

+
handler. The default search string for these files is a colon delimited list
set to
text/plain; more %s

Perhaps you would like to use lynx to interactively view a text/html message:
text/html; lynx %s
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 73
+
In this case, lynx does not support viewing a file from stdin, so you must use
the %s syntax. N\bNo\bot\bte\be:\b: _\bS_\bo_\bm_\be _\bo_\bl_\bd_\be_\br _\bv_\be_\br_\bs_\bi_\bo_\bn_\bs _\bo_\bf _\bl_\by_\bn_\bx _\bc_\bo_\bn_\bt_\ba_\bi_\bn _\ba _\bb_\bu_\bg _\bw_\bh_\be_\br_\be _\bt_\bh_\be_\by _\bw_\bi_\bl_\bl

The interpretation of shell meta-characters embedded in MIME parameters can
lead to security problems in general. Mutt-ng tries to quote parameters in
expansion of %s syntaxes properly, and avoids risky characters by substituting

Although mutt's procedures to invoke programs with mailcap seem to be safe,
there are other applications parsing mailcap, maybe taking less care of it.

In addition to the required content-type and view command fields, you can add
semi-colon ';' separated fields to set flags and other options. Mutt-ng recog-
nizes the following optional fields:

+ In the default configuration, mutt-ng will leak some information to the outside
+ world when sending messages: the generation of Message-ID: headers includes a

+ like to hide this information probably telling others how many mail you sent in

+ in websites, there're security considerations, too. To keep the old behavior by
+ default, mutt-ng will be strict in interpreting them which means that arbitrary
+ header fields can be embedded in these links which could override existing
+ header fields or attach arbitrary files. This may be problematic if the
+ _\b$_\be_\bd_\bi_\bt_\b__\bh_\be_\ba_\bd_\be_\br_\bs (section 7.4.58 , page 101) variable is _\bu_\bn_\bs_\be_\bt, i.e. the user
+ doesn't want to see header fields while editing the message.
+

+
+ _\b6_\b._\b4_\b._\b1 _\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\bc_\ba_\bp

+
+ These utilities may have a variety of security vulnerabilities, including
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 81
+
+ overwriting of arbitrary files, information leaks or other exploitable bugs.
