It is often desirable to change settings based on which mailbox you are read-
ing. The folder-hook command provides a method by which you can execute any
configuration command. _\br_\be_\bg_\be_\bx_\bp is a regular expression specifying in which
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,
- and also facilitates defining of macros in files used by more than one user
- (eg. the system Muttngrc).

Mutt-ng also recognizes the keywords _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br_\b0, _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br_\b1, ..., _\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\brN\bN-\b-1\b1 (N\bN being the
number of colors supported by your terminal). This is useful when you remap
the colors for your display (for example by changing the color associated with
_\bc_\bo_\bl_\bo_\br_\b2 for your xterm), since color names may then lose their normal meaning.

With various functions, mutt will treat messages differently, depending on

whether you sent them or whether you received them from someone else. For
instance, when replying to a message that you sent to a different party, mutt
will automatically suggest to send the response to the original message's

to a specific bug report's address on mutt's bug tracking system as list mail,

for instance, you could say ``subscribe [0-9]*@bugs.guug.de''. Often, it's
sufficient to just give a portion of the list's e-mail address.
Specify as much of the address as you need to to remove ambiguity. For exam-
ple, if you've subscribed to the Mutt-ng mailing list, you will receive mail

Mutt-ng has generalized support for external spam-scoring filters. By defining
expression matches against for _\bs_\be_\ba_\br_\bc_\bh and _\bl_\bi_\bm_\bi_\bt functions. And it's what sort-
ing by spam attribute will use as a sort key.
+ The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 31
+
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.
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 31
-
Generally, when you sort by spam tag, mutt will sort _\bl_\be_\bx_\bi_\bc_\ba_\bl_\bl_\by -- that is, by
ordering strings alphnumerically. However, if a spam tag begins with a number,
mutt will sort numerically first, and lexically only when two numbers are equal
be enclosed in quotes if they contain spaces or tabs. You may also use the
``C'' escape sequences \\b\n\bn and \\b\t\bt for newline and tab, respectively.
