+ Mutt-ng flexibly allows users to define their own variables. To avoid conflicts
+ with the standard set and to prevent misleading error messages, there's a
+ reserved namespace for them: all user-defined variables must be prefixed with
+ user_ and can be used just like any ordinary configuration or environment vari-
+ able.
+
+ For example, to view the manual, users can either define two macros like the
+ following
+
+ macro generic <F1> "!less -r /path/to/manual" "Show manual"
+ macro pager <F1> "!less -r /path/to/manual" "Show manual"
+
+ for generic, pager and index. The alternative is to define a custom variable
+ like so:
+
+ set user_manualcmd = "!less -r /path/to_manual"
+ macro generic <F1> "$user_manualcmd<enter>" "Show manual"
+ macro pager <F1> "$user_manualcmd<enter>" "Show manual"
+ macro index <F1> "$user_manualcmd<enter>" "Show manual"
+
+ to re-use the command sequence as in:
+
+ macro index <F2> "$user_manualcmd | grep '\^[ ]\\+~. '" "Show Patterns"
+
+ Using this feature, arbitrary sequences can be defined once and recalled and
+ reused where necessary. More advanced scenarios could include to save a vari-
+ able's value at the beginning of macro sequence and restore it at end.
+
+ When the variable is first defined, the first value it gets assigned is also
+ the initial value to which it can be reset using the reset command.
+
+ The complete removal is done via the unset keyword.
+
+ After the following sequence:
+
+ set user_foo = 42
+ set user_foo = 666
+
+ the variable $user_foo has a current value of 666 and an initial of 42. The
+ query
+
+ set ?user_foo
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 25
+
+ will show 666. After doing the reset via
+
+ reset user_foo
+
+ a following query will give 42 as the result. After unsetting it via
+
+ unset user_foo
+
+ any query or operation (except the noted expansion within other statements)
+ will lead to an error message.

Usage: alias _\bk_\be_\by _\ba_\bd_\bd_\br_\be_\bs_\bs [ , _\ba_\bd_\bd_\br_\be_\bs_\bs, ... ]
Unlike other mailers, Mutt-ng doesn't require aliases to be defined in a spe-
cial file. The alias command can appear anywhere in a configuration file, as
- long as this file is _\bs_\bo_\bu_\br_\bc_\be_\bd (section 3.28 , page 42). Consequently, you can
+ long as this file is _\bs_\bo_\bu_\br_\bc_\be_\bd (section 3.29 , page 45). Consequently, you can
have multiple alias files, or you can have all aliases defined in your muttrc.
On the other hand, the _\bc_\br_\be_\ba_\bt_\be_\b-_\ba_\bl_\bi_\ba_\bs (section 2.5.4 , page 11) function can use
- only one file, the one pointed to by the _\b$_\ba_\bl_\bi_\ba_\bs_\b__\bf_\bi_\bl_\be (section 6.4.3 , page 80)
+ only one file, the one pointed to by the _\b$_\ba_\bl_\bi_\ba_\bs_\b__\bf_\bi_\bl_\be (section 7.4.5 , page 89)
variable (which is ~/.muttrc by default). This file is not special either, in
the sense that Mutt-ng will happily append aliases to any file, but in order
for the new aliases to take effect you need to explicitly _\bs_\bo_\bu_\br_\bc_\be (section
- 3.28 , page 42) this file too.
+ 3.29 , page 45) this file too.
For example:
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 24
-
source /usr/local/share/Mutt-ng.aliases
source ~/.mail_aliases
set alias_file=~/.mail_aliases
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
- (section 6.4.54 , page 92) variable set.

In addition, at the various address prompts, you can use the tab character to
expand a partial alias to the full alias. If there are multiple matches, mutt
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 27

will bring up a menu with the matching aliases. In order to be presented with
the full list of aliases, you must hit tab with out a partial alias, such as at

+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 30

typed _\bs_\be_\bq_\bu_\be_\bn_\bc_\be. So if you have a common sequence of commands you type, you can

The advantage with using function names directly is that the macros will work
regardless of the current key bindings, so they are not dependent on the user
having particular key definitions. This makes them more robust and portable,

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

If you want mutt-ng to send emails with format=flowed set, you need to explic-
itly set it:

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
:h formatoptions and :h fo-table) when writing emails.

+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 42
+
When you use scoring, every message has a base score of 0. You can then use the
score command to define patterns and a positive or negative value associated
with it. When a pattern matches a message, the message's score will be raised
score "~f nion@muttng\.org" 50
score "~f @sco\.com" -100
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 39
-
If the pattern matches, it is also possible to set the score value of the cur-
rent message to a certain value and then stop evaluation:
delete threshold, it will be marked as deleted.
These three thresholds can be set via the variables _\b$_\bs_\bc_\bo_\br_\be_\b__\bt_\bh_\br_\be_\bs_\bh_\bo_\bl_\bd_\b__\bf_\bl_\ba_\bg (sec-
- tion 6.4.244 , page 139), _\b$_\bs_\bc_\bo_\br_\be_\b__\bt_\bh_\br_\be_\bs_\bh_\bo_\bl_\bd_\b__\br_\be_\ba_\bd (section 6.4.245 , page 139),

threshold configuration no message will ever get marked as read or deleted.
Scoring gets especially interesting when combined with the color command and
the ~n pattern:
- color black yellow "~n 10-"
- color red yellow "~n 100-"
+ color index black yellow "~n 10-"
+ color index red yellow "~n 100-"
The rules above mark all messages with a score between 10 and 99 with black and
yellow, and messages with a score greater or equal 100 with red and yellow.
This might be unusual to you if you're used to e.g. slrn's scoring mechanism,
but it is more flexible, as it visually marks different scores.

That's a pretty complicated example, and most people's actual environments will
have only one spam filter. The simpler your configuration, the more effective
mutt can be, especially when it comes to sorting.
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

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>
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
- test for the availability of _\b$_\bi_\bm_\ba_\bp_\b__\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\b__\bc_\bh_\be_\bc_\bk (section 6.4.99 , page 103),

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

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].

Repetition takes precedence over concatenation, which in turn takes precedence

override these precedence rules.
Mutt-ng's pattern language provides a simple yet effective way to set up rules
to match messages, e.g. for operations like tagging and scoring. A pattern con-
sists of one or more sub-pattern, which can be logically grouped, ORed, and

negated. For a complete listing of these patterns, please refer to table _\bP_\ba_\bt_\b-
- _\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (section 6.2 , page 77) in the Reference chapter.
+ _\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (section 7.2 , page 83) in the Reference chapter.
It must be noted that in this table, EXPR, USER, ID and SUBJECT are regular
expressions. For ranges, the forms <[MAX], >>[MIN], [MIN]- and -[MAX] are also
most simple possibility is to logically AND several patterns by stringing them
together:
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 49
-
~s 'SPAM' ~U
The pattern above matches all messages that contain ``SPAM'' in the subject and
~d 01/01/2005+1y
~d 18/10/2004-2w
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 53
+
~d 28/12/2004*1d
The first pattern matches all dates between January 1st, 2005 and January 1st
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 50
-
~d >2w # messages older than two weeks
~d <3d # messages newer than 3 days
~d =1m # messages that are exactly one month old

%v to the version string. When just configuring:

To include the mailbox' name is as easy as:
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 51
-
set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: ...
When the currently opened mailbox is Inbox, this will be expanded to:
This is achieved by the following syntax for those expandos which may be
printed nonzero:
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 55
+
%?<item>?<string if nonzero>&<string if zero>?
Using this we can make mutt-ng to do the following:

- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 52
-
The corresponding configuration is:
set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: %?n?%n new messages&no new messages? ...
%>X
Since the previous expando stops at the end of line, there must be
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 56

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
the line will be right-justified. For example, to not put the ver-

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
- default. See _\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (section 6.2 , page 77) for Mutt-ng's pattern matching
+ default. See _\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (section 7.2 , page 83) for Mutt-ng's pattern matching
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 ,

+ that operation can be used in that manner. If the _\b$_\ba_\bu_\bt_\bo_\b__\bt_\ba_\bg (section 7.4.19 ,
+ page 93) variable is set, the next operation applies to the tagged messages
automatically, without requiring the ``tag-prefix''.

+ In _\bm_\ba_\bc_\br_\bo_\bs (section 3.8 , page 29) or _\bp_\bu_\bs_\bh (section 3.24 , page 41) commands,
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

the first of which is the ability to show the name of a list through which you

This is useful to distinguish between personal and list mail in the same mail-
