5. Reading Mail - The Index and Pager
- Similar to many other mail clients, there are two modes in which mail is
- read in Mutt-ng. The first is the index of messages in the mailbox, which
- is called the ``index'' in Mutt-ng. The second mode is the display of the
- message contents. This is called the ``pager.''

In addition, many of the functions from the index are available in the
pager, such as delete-message or copy-message (this is one advantage over
using an external pager to view messages).
Also, the internal pager supports a couple other advanced features. For
- one, it will accept and translate the ``standard'' nroff sequences for
- bold and underline. These sequences are a series of either the letter,
+ one, it will accept and translate the ``standard'' nroff sequences forbold
+ and underline. These sequences are a series of either the letter,
backspace (^H), the letter again for bold or the letter, backspace, ``_''
for denoting underline. Mutt-ng will attempt to display these in bold and
underline respectively if your terminal supports them. If not, you can use
Additionally, the internal pager supports the ANSI escape sequences for
character attributes. Mutt-ng translates them into the correct color and
- character settings. The sequences Mutt-ng supports are:
-
- ESC [ Ps;Ps;Ps;...;Ps m
- where Ps =
- 0 All Attributes Off
- 1 Bold on
- 4 Underline on
- 5 Blink on
- 7 Reverse video on

Messages often have many header fields added by automatic processing
systems, or which may not seem useful to display on the screen. This
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

pattern under an unalternates command.
To remove a regular expression from the alternates list, use the

12. Format = Flowed
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
-
+ 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
hierarchy 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
differentiate 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.

12.3. Sending
If you want mutt-ng to send emails with format=flowed set, you need to
explicitly set it:

+ Usage: my_hdr string
+ Usage: unmy_hdr field [ field... ]

17. Defining the order of headers when viewing messages
- Usage: hdr_order header1 header2 header3
+ Usage: hdr_order header1header2 header3

- message-hook) are evaluated in a slightly different manner. For the other
- types of hooks, a regexp is sufficient. But in dealing with messages a
- finer grain of control is needed for matching since for different purposes

You can also specify the colors for mailboxes with new mails by using:
The available functions are:
- sidebar-scroll-up Scrolls the mailbox list up 1 page
- sidebar-scroll-down Scrolls the mailbox list down 1 page
- sidebar-next Highlights the next mailbox
- sidebar-next-new Highlights the next mailbox with new mail
- sidebar-previous Highlights the previous mailbox
- sidebar-open Opens the currently highlighted mailbox

Mutt-ng supports reading and writing of four different mailbox formats:

mbox. This is the most widely used mailbox format for UNIX. All messages
are stored in a single file. Each message has a line of the form:
MH. A radical departure from mbox and MMDF, a mailbox consists of a
directory and each message is stored in a separate file. The filename
indicates the message number (however, this is may not correspond to the
- message number Mutt-ng displays). Deleted messages are renamed with a
- comma (,) prepended to the filename. Note: Mutt detects this type of

Lastly, Mutt-ng has the ability to sort the mailbox into threads. A thread
is a group of messages which all relate to the same subject. This is
usually organized into a tree-like structure where a message and all of
its replies are represented graphically. If you've ever used a threaded

mailing lists easier because you can easily delete uninteresting threads
and quickly find topics of value.
On mailing lists, some people are in the bad habit of starting a new
discussion by hitting "reply" to any message from the list and changing
the subject to a totally unrelated one. You can fix such threads by using

in the local spoolfile. After this point, Mutt-ng runs exactly as if the
mail had always been local.

1. Using MIME in Mutt
When you select a message from the index and view it in the pager, Mutt
decodes the message to a text representation. Mutt-ng internally supports
a number of MIME types, including text/plain, text/enriched,
- message/rfc822, and message/news. In addition, the export controlled

The '-' denotes that Mutt-ng will delete the file after sending (or
postponing, or canceling) the message. It can be toggled with the
R). The final field is the description of the attachment, and can be
changed with the edit-description command (default: d).

- ~A all messages
- ~b EXPR messages which contain EXPR in the message body
- ~B EXPR messages which contain EXPR in the whole message
- ~c USER messages carbon-copied to USER
- ~C EXPR message is either to: or cc: EXPR
- ~D deleted messages
- ~d [MIN]-[MAX] messages with ``date-sent'' in a Date range
- ~E expired messages
- ~e EXPR message which contains EXPR in the ``Sender'' field
- ~F flagged messages
- ~f USER messages originating from USER
- ~g cryptographically signed messages
- ~G cryptographically encrypted messages
- ~H EXPR messages with a spam attribute matching EXPR
- ~h EXPR messages which contain EXPR in the message header
- ~k message contains PGP key material
- ~i ID message which match ID in the ``Message-ID'' field
- ~L EXPR message is either originated or received by EXPR
- ~l message is addressed to a known mailing list
- ~m [MIN]-[MAX] message in the range MIN to MAX *)
- ~M multipart messages
- ~n [MIN]-[MAX] messages with a score in the range MIN to MAX *)
- ~N new messages
- ~O old messages
- ~p message is addressed to you (consults alternates)
- ~P message is from you (consults alternates)
- ~Q messages which have been replied to
- ~R read messages
- ~r [MIN]-[MAX] messages with ``date-received'' in a Date range
- ~S superseded messages
- ~s SUBJECT messages having SUBJECT in the ``Subject'' field.
- ~T tagged messages
- ~t USER messages addressed to USER
- ~U unread messages
- ~v message is part of a collapsed thread.
- ~V cryptographically verified messages
- ~w EXPR messages which contain EXPR in the `Newsgroups' field
- (if compiled with NNTP support)
- ~x EXPR messages which contain EXPR in the `References' field
- ~y EXPR messages which contain EXPR in the `X-Label' field
- ~z [MIN]-[MAX] messages with a size in the range MIN to MAX *)
- ~= duplicated messages (see $duplicate_threads)
- ~$ unreferenced messages (requires threaded view)
- ~* ``From'' contains realname and (syntactically) valid
- address (excluded are addresses matching against
- alternates or any alias)
-
- Where EXPR, USER, ID, and SUBJECT are regexp. Special attention has to be
- made when using regular expressions inside of patterns. Specifically,
- Mutt-ng's parser for these patterns will strip one level of backslash (\),
- which is normally used for quoting. If it is your intention to use a
- backslash in the regular expression, you will need to use two backslashes
- instead (\\).
-
- *) The forms <[MAX], >[MIN], [MIN]- and -[MAX] are allowed, too.
