_\bk_\be_\by is the key (or key sequence) you wish to bind. To specify a control char-
acter, use the sequence _\b\_\bC_\bx, where _\bx is the letter of the control character
(for example, to specify control-A use ``\Ca''). Note that the case of _\bx as

well as _\b\_\bC is ignored, so that _\b\_\bC_\bA, _\b\_\bC_\ba, _\b\_\bc_\bA and _\b\_\bc_\ba are all equivalent. An
alternative form is to specify the key as a three digit octal number prefixed
with a ``\'' (for example _\b\_\b1_\b7_\b7 is equivalent to _\b\_\bc_\b?).

have only one spam filter. The simpler your configuration, the more effective

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

mail easier. The first thing you must do is to let Mutt know what addresses

subscribed to. This is accomplished through the use of the _\bl_\bi_\bs_\bt_\bs _\ba_\bn_\bd _\bs_\bu_\bb_\bs_\bc_\br_\bi_\bb_\be

The view command is a Unix command for viewing the type specified. There are
two different types of commands supported. The default is to send the body of
the MIME message to the command on stdin. You can change this behavior by using
- %s as a parameter to your view command. This will cause Mutt to save the body
- of the MIME message to a temporary file, and then call the view command with
- the %s replaced by the name of the temporary file. In both cases, Mutt will
- turn over the terminal to the view program until the program quits, at which

pager more on stdin:
