+ 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.

+ In order to allow users to share one setup over a number of different machines
+ without having to change its contents, there's a number of pre-defined vari-
+ ables. These are prefixed with muttng_ and are read-only, i.e. they cannot be
+ set, unset or reset. The reference chapter lists all available variables.

+ Please note that by the type of quoting, muttng determines when to expand these
+ values: when it finds double quotes, the value will be expanded during reading
+ the setup files but when it finds single quotes, it'll expand it at runtime as
+ needed.
+
+ For example, the statement
+
+ folder-hook . "set user_current_folder = $muttng_folder_name"
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 26
+
+ will be already be translated to the following when reading the startup files:
+
+ folder-hook . "set user_current_folder = some_folder"
+
+ with some_folder being the name of the first folder muttng opens. On the con-
+ trary,
+
+ folder-hook . 'set user_current_folder = $muttng_folder_name'
+
+ will be executed at runtime because of the single quotes so that user_cur-
+ rent_folder will always have the value of the currently opened folder.
+
+ A more practical example is:
+
+ folder-hook . 'source ~/.mutt/score-$muttng_folder_name'
+
+ which can be used to source files containing score commands depending on the
+ folder the user enters.

+ erencing any variable. As an example, the following can be used without harm

To use aliases, you merely use the alias at any place in mutt where mutt

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 35
- 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.

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.

As users may run mutt-ng on different systems, the configuration must be main-
tained because it's likely that people want to use the setup everywhere they
specify in which character set their configuration files are encoded. Please
note that while reading the configuration files, this is only respected after
the corresponding declaration appears. It's advised to put the following at the

very beginning of a users muttngrc:
set config_charset = "..."
while, again, replacing the dots with the appropriate name. This tells vim as

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>
All available functions, variables and menus are documented elsewhere in this
manual but ``features'' is specific to these two commands. To test for one,
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 48
+
prefix one of the following keywords with feature_:
ncurses, slang, iconv, idn, dotlock, standalone, pop, nntp, imap, ssl,
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

Certain named classes of characters are predefined. Character classes consist
of ``[:'', a keyword denoting the class, and ``:]''. The following classes are
defined by the POSIX standard:
[:space:]
Space characters (such as space, tab and formfeed, to name a few).
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 47
-
[:upper:]
Upper-case alphabetic characters.
Collating Symbols
A collating symbol is a multi-character collating element enclosed
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 51
+
in ``[.'' and ``.]''. For example, if ``ch'' is a collating ele-
ment, then [\b[[\b[.\b.c\bch\bh.\b.]\b]]\b] is a regexp that matches this collating ele-
ment, while [\b[c\bch\bh]\b] is a regexp that matches either ``c'' or ``h''.
The preceding item is matched at least _\bn times, but no more than _\bm
times.
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 48

Two regular expressions may be concatenated; the resulting regular expression
matches any string formed by concatenating two substrings that respectively
match the concatenated subexpressions.

The so called _\bF_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt _\bS_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg_\bs offer great flexibility when configuring mutt-ng.

+\bo which mailbox is open

For the number of certain types of messages, one more feature of the format
strings is extremely useful. If there aren't messages of a certain type, it may

As you might see from this rather simple example, one can create very complex
but fancy status messages. Please see the reference chapter for expandos and
those which may be printed nonzero.
Since the previous expando stops at the end of line, there must be
a way to fill the gap between two items via the %>X expando: it

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

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

and the Encoding is one of 7bit/8bit/quoted-printable/base64/binary.

If Mutt-ng cannot deal with a MIME type, it will display a message like:

or canceling) the message. It can be toggled with the toggle-unlink command
(default: u). The next field is the MIME content-type, and can be changed with

mime.types file at ${HOME}/.mime.types, and then the system mime.types file at
/usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types or /etc/mime.types
referred to as the mailcap format. Many MIME compliant programs utilize the
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,
