M\bMu\but\btt\bt-\b-n\bng\bg is a small but very powerful text-based MIME mail client. Mutt-ng is
highly configurable, and is well suited to the mail power user with advanced
features like key bindings, keyboard macros, mail threading, regular expression
Don't be confused when most of the documentation talk about Mutt and not Mutt-
ng, Mutt-ng contains all Mutt features, plus many more.

+ mutt-ng offers different screens of which every has its special purpose:
+
+ +\bo The _\bi_\bn_\bd_\be_\bx displays the contents of the currently opened mailbox.

+ total, new and/or flagged mails.
+
+ +\bo The _\bh_\be_\bl_\bp _\bs_\bc_\br_\be_\be_\bn lists for all currently available commands how to invoke
+ them as well as a short description.
+
+ +\bo The _\bc_\bo_\bm_\bp_\bo_\bs_\be menu is a comfortable interface take last actions before send-
+ ing mail: change subjects, attach files, remove attachements, etc.
+
+ +\bo The _\ba_\bt_\bt_\ba_\bc_\bh_\be_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt menu gives a summary and the tree structure of the
+ attachements of the current message.
+
+ +\bo The _\ba_\bl_\bi_\ba_\bs menu lists all or a fraction of the aliases a user has defined.
+
+ +\bo The _\bk_\be_\by menu used in connection with encryption lets users choose the
+ right key to encrypt with.
+
+ When mutt-ng is started without any further options, it'll open the users
+ default mailbox and display the index.
+

+
+ Mutt-ng does _\bn_\bo_\bt feature an internal configuration interface or menu due to the
+ simple fact that this would be too complex to handle (currently there are sev-
+ eral _\bh_\bu_\bn_\bd_\br_\be_\bd variables which fine-tune the behaviour.)
+
+ Mutt-ng is configured using configuration files which allow users to add com-
+ ments or manage them via version control systems to ease maintenance.
+
+ Also, mutt-ng comes with a shell script named grml-muttng kindly contributed by
+ users which really helps and eases the creation of a user's configuration file.
+ When downloading the source code via a snapshot or via subversion, it can be
+ found in the contrib directory.
+
+ _\b2_\b._\b1_\b._\b3 _\bF_\bu_\bn_\bc_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn_\bs
+
+ Mutt-ng offers great flexibility due to the use of functions: internally, every
+ action a user can make mutt-ng perform is named ``function.'' Those functions
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 4
+
+ are assigned to keys (or even key sequences) and may be completely adjusted to
+ user's needs. The basic idea is that the impatient users get a very intuitive
+ interface to start off with and advanced users virtually get no limits to
+ adjustments.
+
+ _\b2_\b._\b1_\b._\b4 _\bI_\bn_\bt_\be_\br_\ba_\bc_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn
+
+ Mutt-ng has two basic concepts of user interaction:
+
+ 1. There is one dedicated line on the screen used to query the user for
+ input, issue any command, query variables and display error and informa-
+ tional messages. As for every type of user input, this requires manual
+ action leading to the need of input.
- The key bindings described in this section are the defaults as distributed.
- Your local system administrator may have altered the defaults for your site.
- You can always type ``?'' in any menu to display the current bindings.
+ 2. The automatized interface for interaction are the so called _\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk_\bs. Hooks
+ specify actions the user wants to be performed at well-defined situa-
+ tions: what to do when entering which folder, what to do when displaying
+ or replying to what kind of message, etc. These are optional, i.e. a user
+ doesn't need to specify them but can do so.
- The first thing you need to do is invoke mutt-ng simply by typing muttng at the
- command line. There are various command-line options, see either the muttng
- man page or the _\br_\be_\bf_\be_\br_\be_\bn_\bc_\be (section 6.1 , page 62).
+ _\b2_\b._\b1_\b._\b5 _\bM_\bo_\bd_\bu_\bl_\ba_\br_\bi_\bz_\ba_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn
- If you have used mutt in the past the easiest thing to have a proper configura-
- tion file is to source /.muttrc in /.muttngrc.
+ Although mutt-ng has many functionality built-in, many features can be dele-
+ gated to external tools to increase flexibility: users can define programs to
+ filter a message through before displaying, users can use any program they want
+ for displaying a message, message types (such as PDF or PostScript) for which
+ mutt-ng doesn't have a built-in filter can be rendered by arbitrary tools and
+ so forth. Although mutt-ng has an alias mechanism built-in, it features using
+ external tools to query for nearly every type of addresses from sources like
+ LDAP, databases or just the list of locally known users.

- Information is presented in menus, very similar to ELM. Here is a table show-
- ing the common keys used to navigate menus in Mutt-ng.
+ Mutt-ng has a built-in pattern matching ``language'' which is as widely used as
+ possible to present a consistent interface to users. The same ``pattern terms''
+ can be used for searching, scoring, message selection and much more.

+
+ The index is the screen that you usually see first when you start mutt-ng. It
+ gives an overview over your emails in the currently opened mailbox. By default,
+ this is your system mailbox. The information you see in the index is a list of
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 5
+
+ emails, each with its number on the left, its flags (new email, important
+ email, email that has been forwarded or replied to, tagged email, ...), the
+ date when email was sent, its sender, the email size, and the subject. Addi-
+ tionally, the index also shows thread hierarchies: when you reply to an email,
+ and the other person replies back, you can see the other's person email in a
+ "sub-tree" below. This is especially useful for personal email between a group
+ of people or when you've subscribed to mailing lists.
+
+ _\b2_\b._\b2_\b._\b2 _\bP_\ba_\bg_\be_\br
+
+ The pager is responsible for showing the email content. On the top of the pager
+ you have an overview over the most important email headers like the sender, the
+ recipient, the subject, and much more information. How much information you
+ actually see depends on your configuration, which we'll describe below.
+
+ Below the headers, you see the email body which usually contains the message.
+ If the email contains any attachments, you will see more information about them
+ below the email body, or, if the attachments are text files, you can view them
+ directly in the pager.
+
+ To give the user a good overview, it is possible to configure mutt-ng to show
+ different things in the pager with different colors. Virtually everything that
+ can be described with a regular expression can be colored, e.g. URLs, email
+ addresses or smileys.
+
+ _\b2_\b._\b2_\b._\b3 _\bF_\bi_\bl_\be _\bB_\br_\bo_\bw_\bs_\be_\br
+
+ The file browser is the interface to the local or remote file system. When
+ selecting a mailbox to open, the browser allows custom sorting of items, limit-
+ ing the items shown by a regular expression and a freely adjustable format of
+ what to display in which way. It also allows for easy navigation through the
+ file system when selecting file(s) to attach to a message, select multiple
+ files to attach and many more.
+
+ _\b2_\b._\b2_\b._\b4 _\bS_\bi_\bd_\be_\bb_\ba_\br
+
+ The sidebar comes in handy to manage mails which are spread over different
+ folders. All folders users setup mutt-ng to watch for new mail will be listed.
+ The listing includes not only the name but also the number of total messages,
+ the number of new and flagged messages. Items with new mail may be colored dif-
+ ferent from those with flagged mail, items may be shortened or compress if
+ they're they to long to be printed in full form so that by abbreviated names,
+ user still now what the name stands for.

+
+ The help screen is meant to offer a quick help to the user. It lists the cur-
+ rent configuration of key bindings and their associated commands including a
+ short description, and currently unbound functions that still need to be asso-
+ ciated with a key binding (or alternatively, they can be called via the mutt-ng
+ command prompt).
+
+ _\b2_\b._\b2_\b._\b6 _\bC_\bo_\bm_\bp_\bo_\bs_\be _\bM_\be_\bn_\bu
+
+ The compose menu features a split screen containing the information which
+ really matter before actually sending a message by mail or posting an article
+ to a newsgroup: who gets the message as what (recipient, newsgroup, who gets
+ what kind of copy). Additionally, users may set security options like deciding
+ whether to sign, encrypt or sign and encrypt a message with/for what keys.
+
+ Also, it's used to attach messages, news articles or files to a message, to re-
+ edit any attachment including the message itself.
+
+ _\b2_\b._\b2_\b._\b7 _\bA_\bl_\bi_\ba_\bs _\bM_\be_\bn_\bu
+
+ The alias menu is used to help users finding the recipients of messages. For
+ users who need to contact many people, there's no need to remember addresses or
+ names completely because it allows for searching, too. The alias mechanism and
+ thus the alias menu also features grouping several addresses by a shorter nick-
+ name, the actual alias, so that users don't have to select each single recipi-
+ ent manually.
+
+ _\b2_\b._\b2_\b._\b8 _\bA_\bt_\bt_\ba_\bc_\bh_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt _\bM_\be_\bn_\bu
+
+ As will be later discussed in detail, mutt-ng features a good and stable MIME
+ implementation, that is, is greatly supports sending and receiving messages of
+ arbitrary type. The attachment menu displays a message's structure in detail:
+ what content parts are attached to which parent part (which gives a true tree
+ structure), which type is of what type and what size. Single parts may saved,
+ deleted or modified to offer great and easy access to message's internals.

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 con-
tents. This is called the ``pager.''

+ ing the message). To bounce a message, press b and enter the recipient email
+ address. By default, you are then asked whether you really want to bounce the
+ message to the specified recipient. If you answer with yes, the message will
+ then be bounced.
- Editing the message to forward follows the same procedure as sending or reply-
- ing to a message does.
+ To the recipient, the bounced email will look as if he got it like a regular
+ email where he was Bcc: recipient. The only possibility to find out whether it

At times it is desirable to delay sending a message that you have already begun
to compose. When the _\bp_\bo_\bs_\bt_\bp_\bo_\bn_\be_\b-_\bm_\be_\bs_\bs_\ba_\bg_\be function is used in the _\bc_\bo_\bm_\bp_\bo_\bs_\be menu,
the body of your message and attachments are stored in the mailbox specified by

While the default configuration (or ``preferences'') make Mutt-ng usable right
out of the box, it is often desirable to tailor Mutt-ng to suit your own
tastes. When Mutt-ng is first invoked, it will attempt to read the ``system''
configuration file (defaults set by your local system administrator), unless

users will find this file in /usr/local/share/muttng/Muttrc or /etc/Muttngrc.
Mutt will next look for a file named .muttrc in your home directory, Mutt-ng
-
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 15
-
will look for .muttngrc. If this file does not exist and your home directory
has a subdirectory named .mutt, mutt try to load a file named .muttng/muttngrc.
.muttrc (or .muttngrc for Mutt-ng) is the file where you will usually place
- your _\bc_\bo_\bm_\bm_\ba_\bn_\bd_\bs (section 6.2 , page 62) to configure Mutt-ng.
-
- In addition, mutt supports version specific configuration files that are parsed
- instead of the default files as explained above. For instance, if your system
- has a Muttrc-0.88 file in the system configuration directory, and you are run-
- ning version 0.88 of mutt, this file will be sourced instead of the Muttngrc
- file. The same is true of the user configuration file, if you have a file
- .muttrc-0.88.6 in your home directory, when you run mutt version 0.88.6, it
- will source this file instead of the default .muttrc file. The version number

+ 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.

+ queried (already using such a variable) by running:
+
+ muttng -Q muttng_docdir
+
+ To extend the example for viewing the manual via self-defined variables, it can
+ be made more readable and more portable by changing the real path in:
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 17
+ set user_manualcmd = '!less -r /path/to_manual'
+
+ to:
+
+ set user_manualcmd = "!less -r $muttng_docdir/manual.txt"
+
+ which works everywhere if a manual is installed.
+
+ 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.

+ A note about variable's types during conversion: internally values are stored
+ in internal types but for any dump/query or set operation they're converted to
+ and from string. That means that there's no need to worry about types when ref-
+ erencing any variable. As an example, the following can be used without harm
+ (besides makeing muttng very likely behave strange):
+
+ set read_inc = 100
+ set folder = $read_inc
+ set read_inc = $folder
+ set user_magic_number = 42

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
recipients -- responding to yourself won't make much sense in many cases. (See
- _\b$_\br_\be_\bp_\bl_\by_\b__\bt_\bo (section 6.3.232 , page 121).)

+ Mutt-ng contains support for so-called format=flowed messages. In the begin-
+ ning of email, each message had a fixed line width, and it was enough for dis-
+ playing them on fixed-size terminals. But times changed, and nowadays hardly
+ anybody still uses fixed-size terminals: more people nowaydays use graphical
+ user interfaces, with dynamically resizable windows. This led to the demand of
+ a new email format that makes it possible for the email client to make the
+ email look nice in a resizable window without breaking quoting levels and cre-
+ ating an incompatible email format that can also be displayed nicely on old
+ fixed-size terminals.
+
+ For introductory information on format=flowed messages, see
+ <http://www.joeclark.org/ffaq.html>.
+
+ _\b3_\b._\b1_\b2_\b._\b2 _\bR_\be_\bc_\be_\bi_\bv_\bi_\bn_\bg_\b: _\bD_\bi_\bs_\bp_\bl_\ba_\by _\bS_\be_\bt_\bu_\bp
+
+ 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:
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 35
+
+ 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
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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
+
+ 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.

+
+ If you want mutt-ng to send emails with format=flowed set, you need to explic-
+ itly set it:
+
+ set text_flowed
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 36
+
+ 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.
+
+ Also note that _\bf_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt_\b=_\bf_\bl_\bo_\bw_\be_\bd knows about ``space-stuffing'', that is, when
+ sending messages, some kinds of lines have to be indented with a single space
+ on the sending side. On the receiving side, the first space (if any) is
+ removed. As a consequence and in addition to the above simple setting, please
+ keep this in mind when making manual formattings within the editor. Also note
+ that mutt-ng currently violates the standard (RfC 3676) as it does not space-
+ stuff lines starting with:
+
+ +\bo > This is _\bn_\bo_\bt the quote character but a right angle used for other reasons
+
+ +\bo From with a trailing space.
+
+ +\bo just a space for formatting reasons
+
+ Please make sure that you manually prepend a space to each of them.

+
+ For completeness, the _\b$_\bd_\be_\bl_\be_\bt_\be_\b__\bs_\bp_\ba_\bc_\be (section 7.4.51 , page 101) variable pro-
+ vides the mechanism to generate a DelSp=yes parameter on _\bo_\bu_\bt_\bg_\bo_\bi_\bn_\bg messages.
+ According to the standard, clients receiving a format=flowed messages should
+ delete the last space of a flowed line but still interpret the line as flowed.
+ Because flowed lines usually contain only one space at the end, this parameter
+ would make the receiving client concatenate the last word of the previous with
+ the first of the current line _\bw_\bi_\bt_\bh_\bo_\bu_\bt a space. This makes ordinary text unread-
+ able and is intended for languages rarely using spaces. So please use this set-
+ ting only if you're sure what you're doing.

- _\bt_\be_\br_\bn is a string in the format described in the _\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (section 4.2 , page

- available in the index, such as ~b, ~B or ~h, may not be used). _\bv_\ba_\bl_\bu_\be is a
- positive or negative integer. A message's final score is the sum total of all
- matching score entries. However, you may optionally prefix _\bv_\ba_\bl_\bu_\be with an equal
- sign (=) to cause evaluation to stop at a particular entry if there is a match.
- Negative final scores are rounded up to 0.
+ In situations where you have to cope with a lot of emails, e.g. when you read
+ many different mailing lists, and take part in discussions, it is always useful
+ to have the important messages marked and the annoying messages or the ones
+ that you aren't interested in deleted. For this purpose, mutt-ng features a
+ mechanism called ``scoring''.
- The unscore command removes score entries from the list. You m\bmu\bus\bst\bt specify the
- same pattern specified in the score command for it to be removed. The pattern
- ``*'' is a special token which means to clear the list of all score entries.
+ 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
+ or lowered by the amount of the value associated with the pattern.

+ To make scoring actually useful, the score must be applied in some way. That's
+ what the _\bs_\bc_\bo_\br_\be _\bt_\bh_\br_\be_\bs_\bh_\bo_\bl_\bd_\bs are for. Currently, there are three score thresholds:
+
+ +\bo flag threshold: when a message has a score value equal or higher than the
+ flag threshold, it will be flagged.
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 43
+
+ +\bo read threshold: when a message has a score value equal or lower than the
+ read threshold, it will be marked as read.
+
+ +\bo delete threshold: when a message has a score value equal or lower than the
+ 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-

+ (section 7.4.259 , page 152) are set to -1, which means that in the default

+
+ Scoring gets especially interesting when combined with the color command and
+ the ~n pattern:
+
+ 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,

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
instead of adding an exception. Likewise, if the _\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn for a spam command
matches an entry on the nospam list, that nospam entry will be removed. If the
_\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn for nospam is ``*'', _\ba_\bl_\bl _\be_\bn_\bt_\br_\bi_\be_\bs _\bo_\bn _\bb_\bo_\bt_\bh _\bl_\bi_\bs_\bt_\bs will be removed. This

+ source ~/.mutt-ng/setup-pop if POP support is built in and only source ~/.mutt-
+ ng/setup-nntp if NNTP support is built in.
+
+ 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 7.4.105 , page 114),

+
+ ifdef pager 'set pager_index_lines = 10'
+
+ For completeness, too, the opposite of ifdef is provided: ifndef which only
+ executes the command if the test fails. For example, the following two examples
+ are equivalent:

- Many of Mutt-ng's commands allow you to specify a pattern to match (limit, tag-
- pattern, delete-pattern, etc.). There are several ways to select messages:
+ 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 7.2 , page 84) in the Reference chapter.

- 33). 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 (\\).
+ It is possible to combine several sub-patterns to a more complex pattern. The
+ most simple possibility is to logically AND several patterns by stringing them
+ together:
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 39
+ ~s 'SPAM' ~U
- *) The forms <[MAX], >[MIN], [MIN]- and -[MAX] are allowed, too.
+ The pattern above matches all messages that contain ``SPAM'' in the subject and
+ are unread.
+
+ To logical OR patterns, simply use the | operator. This one especially useful
+ when using local groups:

+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 53
- Note that patterns matching 'lists' of addresses (notably c,C,p,P and t) match
- if there is at least one match in the whole list. If you want to make sure that
- all elements of that list match, you need to prefix your pattern with ^. This
- example matches all mails which only has recipients from Germany.
+ ~f ("nion@muttng\.org"|"ak@muttng\.org"|"pdmef@muttng\.org")
+ (~b mutt-ng|~s Mutt-ng)
+ !~x '@synflood\.at'
- ^~C \.de$
+ The first pattern matches all messages that were sent by one of the mutt-ng
+ maintainers, while the seconds pattern matches all messages that contain
+ ``mutt-ng'' in the message body or ``Mutt-ng'' in the subject. The third pat-
+ tern matches all messages that do not contain ``@synflood\.at'' in the Refer-
+ ences: header, i.e. messages that are not an (indirect) reply to one of my
+ messages. A pattern can be logicall negated using the ! operator.

+ _\b4_\b._\b2_\b._\b2 _\bP_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs _\ba_\bn_\bd _\bD_\ba_\bt_\be_\bs
- Logical AND is performed by specifying more than one criterion. For example:
+ When using dates in patterns, the dates must be specified in a special format,
+ i.e. DD/MM/YYYY. If you don't specify month or year, they default to the cur-
+ rent month or year. When using date ranges, and you specify only the minimum or
+ the maximum, the specified date will be excluded, e.g. 01/06/2005- matches
+ against all messages _\ba_\bf_\bt_\be_\br Juni 1st, 2005.
- ~t mutt ~f elkins
+ It is also possible to use so-called ``error margins'' when specifying date
+ ranges. You simply specify a date, and then the error margin. This margin
+ needs to contain the information whether it goes ``forth'' or ``back'' in time,
+ by using + and -. Then follows a number and a unit, i.e. y for years, m for
+ months, w for weeks and d for days. If you use the special * sign, it means
+ that the error margin goes to both ``directions'' in time.

+ ~d 01/01/2005+1y
+ ~d 18/10/2004-2w
+ ~d 28/12/2004*1d
- Mutt-ng also recognizes the following operators to create more complex search
- patterns:
+ The first pattern matches all dates between January 1st, 2005 and January 1st
+ 2006. The second pattern matches all dates between October 18th, 2004 and
+ October 4th 2004 (2 weeks before 18/10/2004), while the third pattern matches
+ all dates 1 day around December 28th, 2004 (i.e. Dec 27th, 28th and 29th).
- +\bo ! -- logical NOT operator
+ Relative dates are also very important, as they make it possible to specify
+ date ranges between a fixed number of units and the current date. How this
+ works can be seen in the following example:
- +\bo | -- logical OR operator
+ ~d >2w # messages older than two weeks
+ ~d <3d # messages newer than 3 days
+ ~d =1m # messages that are exactly one month old
- +\bo () -- logical grouping operator
+ _\b4_\b._\b3 _\bF_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt _\bS_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg_\bs
- Here is an example illustrating a complex search pattern. This pattern will
- select all messages which do not contain ``mutt'' in the ``To'' or ``Cc'' field
- and which are from ``elkins''.

- !(~t mutt|~c mutt) ~f elkins
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 54
- Here is an example using white space in the regular expression (note the ' and
- ' delimiters). For this to match, the mail's subject must match the ``^Junk
- +From +Me$'' and it must be from either ``Jim +Somebody'' or ``Ed +Some-
- oneElse'':
+ The so called _\bF_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt _\bS_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg_\bs offer great flexibility when configuring mutt-ng.
+ In short, they describe what items to print out how in menus and status mes-
+ sages.
+
+ Basically, they work as this: for different menus and bars, there's a variable
+ specifying the layout. For every item available, there is a so called _\be_\bx_\bp_\ba_\bn_\bd_\bo.
+
+ For example, when running mutt-ng on different machines or different versions
+ for testing purposes, it may be interesting to have the following information
+ always printed on screen when one is in the index:
+
+ +\bo the current hostname
+
+ +\bo the current mutt-ng version number
+
+ The setting for the status bar of the index is controlled via the _\b$_\bs_\bt_\ba_\bt_\bu_\bs_\b__\bf_\bo_\br_\b-
+ _\bm_\ba_\bt (section 7.4.324 , page 167) variable. For the hostname and version
+ string, there's an expando for $status_format: %h expands to the hostname and
+ %v to the version string. When just configuring:
+
+ set status_format = "%v on %h: ..."
+
+ mutt-ng will replace the sequence %v with the version string and %h with the
+ host's name. When you are, for example, running mutt-ng version 1.5.9i on host
+ mailhost, you'll see the following when you're in the index:
+
+ Mutt-ng 1.5.9i on mailhost: ...
+
+ In the index, there're more useful information one could want to see:
+
+ +\bo which mailbox is open
+
+ +\bo how man new, flagged or postponed messages
+
+ +\bo ...
+
+ To include the mailbox' name is as easy as:
+
+ set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: ...
- '~s "^Junk +From +Me$" ~f ("Jim +Somebody"|"Ed +SomeoneElse")'
+ When the currently opened mailbox is Inbox, this will be expanded to:
- Note that if a regular expression contains parenthesis, or a veritical bar
- ("|"), you m\bmu\bus\bst\bt enclose the expression in double or single quotes since those
- characters are also used to separate different parts of Mutt-ng's pattern lan-
- guage. For example,
+ Mutt-ng 1.5.9i on mailhost: Inbox: ...
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 40
+ 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
- ~f "me@(mutt\.org|cs\.hmc\.edu)"
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 55
- Without the quotes, the parenthesis wouldn't end. This would be separated to
- two OR'd patterns: _\b~_\bf _\bm_\be_\b@_\b(_\bm_\bu_\bt_\bt_\b\_\b._\bo_\br_\bg and _\bc_\bs_\b\_\b._\bh_\bm_\bc_\b\_\b._\be_\bd_\bu_\b). They are never what you

+ not be desired to print just that there aren't any but instead only print some-
+ thing if there are any.

- Mutt-ng supports two types of dates, _\ba_\bb_\bs_\bo_\bl_\bu_\bt_\be and _\br_\be_\bl_\ba_\bt_\bi_\bv_\be.
+ To only print the number of messages if there are new messages in the current
+ mailbox, further extend $status_format to:
- A\bAb\bbs\bso\bol\blu\but\bte\be. Dates m\bmu\bus\bst\bt be in DD/MM/YY format (month and year are optional,
- defaulting to the current month and year). An example of a valid range of
- dates is:
+ set status_format = "%v on %h: %B %?n?%n new? ...
- Limit to messages matching: ~d 20/1/95-31/10
+ This feature is called _\bn_\bo_\bn_\bz_\be_\br_\bo_\b-_\bp_\br_\bi_\bn_\bt_\bi_\bn_\bg and works as this: some expandos may be
+ optionally printed nonzero, i.e. a portion of the format string is only evalu-
+ ated if the value of the expando is different from zero. The basic syntax is:
- If you omit the minimum (first) date, and just specify ``-DD/MM/YY'', all mes-
- sages _\bb_\be_\bf_\bo_\br_\be the given date will be selected. If you omit the maximum (second)
- date, and specify ``DD/MM/YY-'', all messages _\ba_\bf_\bt_\be_\br the given date will be
- selected. If you specify a single date with no dash (``-''), only messages
- sent on the given date will be selected.
+ %?<item>?<string if nonzero>?
- E\bEr\brr\bro\bor\br M\bMa\bar\brg\bgi\bin\bns\bs. You can add error margins to absolute dates. An error margin
- is a sign (+ or -), followed by a digit, followed by one of the following
- units:
+ which tells mutt-ng to only look at <string if nonzero> if the value of the
+ %<item%gt; expando is different from zero. In our example, we used n as the
+ expando to check for and %n new as the optional nonzero string.
- y years
- m months
- w weeks
- d days
+ But this is not all: this feature only offers one alternative: ``print some-
+ thing if not zero.'' Mutt-ng does, as you might guess, also provide a logically
+ complete version: ``if zero, print something and else print something else.''
+ This is achieved by the following syntax for those expandos which may be
+ printed nonzero:
- As a special case, you can replace the sign by a ``*'' character, which is
- equivalent to giving identical plus and minus error margins.
+ %?<item>?<string if nonzero>&<string if zero>?
- Example: To select any messages two weeks around January 15, 2001, you'd use
- the following pattern:
+ Using this we can make mutt-ng to do the following:
- Limit to messages matching: ~d 15/1/2001*2w
+ +\bo make it print ``_\bn new messages'' whereby _\bn is the count but only if there
+ new ones
- R\bRe\bel\bla\bat\bti\biv\bve\be. This type of date is relative to the current date, and may be speci-
- fied as:
+ +\bo and make it print ``no new messages'' if there aren't any
- +\bo >_\bo_\bf_\bf_\bs_\be_\bt (messages older than _\bo_\bf_\bf_\bs_\be_\bt units)
+ The corresponding configuration is:
- +\bo <_\bo_\bf_\bf_\bs_\be_\bt (messages newer than _\bo_\bf_\bf_\bs_\be_\bt units)
+ set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: %?n?%n new messages&no new messages? ...
- +\bo =_\bo_\bf_\bf_\bs_\be_\bt (messages exactly _\bo_\bf_\bf_\bs_\be_\bt units old)
+ This doubles the use of the ``new messages'' string because it'll get always
+ printed. Thus, it can be shortened to:
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 41
+ set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: %?n?%n&no? new messages ...
- _\bo_\bf_\bf_\bs_\be_\bt is specified as a positive number with one of the following units:
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 56
- y years
- m months
- w weeks
- d days
+ 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.
- Example: to select messages less than 1 month old, you would use
+ _\b4_\b._\b3_\b._\b3 _\bM_\bo_\bd_\bi_\bf_\bi_\bc_\ba_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn_\bs _\ba_\bn_\bd _\bP_\ba_\bd_\bd_\bi_\bn_\bg
- Limit to messages matching: ~d <1m
+ Besides the information given so far, there're even more features of format
+ strings:
- N\bNo\bot\bte\be:\b: all dates used when searching are relative to the l\blo\boc\bca\bal\bl time zone, so
- unless you change the setting of your _\b$_\bi_\bn_\bd_\be_\bx_\b__\bf_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt (section 6.3.109 , page
- 90) to include a %[...] format, these are n\bno\bot\bt the dates shown in the main
- index.
+ +\bo When specifying %_<item> instead of just %<item>, mutt-ng will convert all
+ characters in the expansion of <item> to lowercase.
- _\b4_\b._\b3 _\bU_\bs_\bi_\bn_\bg _\bT_\ba_\bg_\bs
+ +\bo When specifying %:<item> instead of just %<item>, mutt-ng will convert all
+ dots in the expansion of <item> to underscores (_).
+
+ Also, there's a feature called _\bP_\ba_\bd_\bd_\bi_\bn_\bg supplied by the following two expandos:
+ %|X and %>X.
+
+ %|X
+ When this occurs, mutt-ng will fill the rest of the line with the
+ character X. In our example, filling the rest of the line with
+ dashes is done by setting:
+
+ set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: %?n?%n&no? new messages %|-"
+
+ %>X
+ 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
+ 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-
+ sion string and hostname of our example on the left but on the
+ right and fill the gap with spaces, one might use (note the space
+ after %>):
+
+ set status_format = "%B: %?n?%n&no? new messages %> (%v on %h)"
+
+ _\b4_\b._\b4 _\bU_\bs_\bi_\bn_\bg _\bT_\ba_\bg_\bs
Sometimes it is desirable to perform an operation on a group of messages all at
once rather than one at a time. An example might be to save messages to a
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 4.2 , page 36) for Mutt-ng's pattern matching

+
+ default. See _\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (section 7.2 , page 84) 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$_\ba_\bu_\bt_\bo_\b__\bt_\ba_\bg (section 6.3.16 ,
- page 69) variable is set, the next operation applies to the tagged messages
+ that operation can be used in that manner. If the _\b$_\ba_\bu_\bt_\bo_\b__\bt_\ba_\bg (section 7.4.19 ,
+ page 94) variable is set, the next operation applies to the 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
this operator the rest of the macro will be executed as normal.

A _\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk is a concept borrowed from the EMACS editor which allows you to execute
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

Mutt-ng has a few configuration options that make dealing with large amounts of
mail easier. The first thing you must do is to let Mutt know what addresses
you consider to be mailing lists (technically this does not have to be a mail-
ing list, but that is what it is most often used for), and what lists you are
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 first of which is the ability to show the name of a list through which you
received a message (i.e., of a subscribed list) in the _\bi_\bn_\bd_\be_\bx menu display.
This is useful to distinguish between personal and list mail in the same mail-

cally. If you've ever used a threaded news client, this is the same concept.

delete uninteresting threads and quickly find topics of value.

When browsing folders on an IMAP server, you can toggle whether to look at only
the folders you are subscribed to, or all folders with the _\bt_\bo_\bg_\bg_\bl_\be_\b-_\bs_\bu_\bb_\bs_\bc_\br_\bi_\bb_\be_\bd

Mutt-ng supports four authentication methods with IMAP servers: SASL, GSSAPI,
CRAM-MD5, and LOGIN (there is a patch by Grant Edwards to add NTLM authentica-
which allows you to log in to a public IMAP server without having an account.
To use ANONYMOUS, simply make your username blank or "anonymous".
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 66
+
SASL is a special super-authenticator, which selects among several protocols
(including GSSAPI, CRAM-MD5, ANONYMOUS, and DIGEST-MD5) the most secure method
available on your host and the server. Using some of these methods (including
DIGEST-MD5 and possibly GSSAPI), your entire session will be encrypted and
invisible to those teeming network snoops. It is the best option if you have
it. To use it, you must have the Cyrus SASL library installed on your system
+ and compile mutt with the _\b-_\b-_\bw_\bi_\bt_\bh_\b-_\bs_\ba_\bs_\bl flag.
+
+ Mutt-ng will try whichever methods are compiled in and available on the server,
+ in the following order: SASL, ANONYMOUS, GSSAPI, CRAM-MD5, LOGIN.
+
+ There are a few variables which control authentication:
+
+ +\bo _\b$_\bi_\bm_\ba_\bp_\b__\bu_\bs_\be_\br (section 7.4.111 , page 115) - controls the username under
+ which you request authentication on the IMAP server, for all authentica-
+ tors. This is overridden by an explicit username in the mailbox path (i.e.
+ by using a mailbox name of the form {user@host}).
+
+ +\bo _\b$_\bi_\bm_\ba_\bp_\b__\bp_\ba_\bs_\bs (section 7.4.106 , page 114) - a password which you may pre-
+ set, used by all authentication methods where a password is needed.
+
+ +\bo _\b$_\bi_\bm_\ba_\bp_\b__\ba_\bu_\bt_\bh_\be_\bn_\bt_\bi_\bc_\ba_\bt_\bo_\br_\bs (section 7.4.97 , page 112) - a colon-delimited list
+ of IMAP authentication methods to try, in the order you wish to try them.
+ If specified, this overrides mutt's default (attempt everything, in the
+ order listed above).

+
+ If compiled with ``--enable-nntp'' option, Mutt-ng can read news from a
+ newsserver via NNTP. You can open a newsgroup with the ``change-newsgroup''
+ function from the index/pager which is by default bound to i.
+
+ The Default newsserver can be obtained from the $NNTPSERVER environment vari-
+ able. Like other news readers, info about subscribed newsgroups is saved in a
+ file as specified by the _\b$_\bn_\bn_\bt_\bp_\b__\bn_\be_\bw_\bs_\br_\bc (section 7.4.172 , page 131) variable.
+ Article headers are cached and can be loaded from a file when a newsgroup is
+ entered instead loading from newsserver; currently, this caching mechanism
+ still is different from the header caching for maildir/IMAP.
+
+ _\b4_\b._\b1_\b5_\b._\b1 _\bA_\bg_\ba_\bi_\bn_\b: _\bS_\bc_\bo_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg
+
+ Especially for Usenet, people often ask for advanced filtering and scoring
+ functionality. Of course, mutt-ng has scoring and allows a killfile, too. How
+ to use a killfile has been discussed in _\bM_\be_\bs_\bs_\ba_\bg_\be _\bs_\bc_\bo_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg (section 3.26 , page
+ 42).
+
+ What has not been discusses in detail is mutt-ng's built-in realname filter.
+ For may newsreaders including those for ``advanced users'' like _\bs_\bl_\br_\bn or _\bt_\bi_\bn,
+ there are frequent request for such functionality. The solutions offered often
+ are complicated regular expressions.

- Mutt-ng will try whichever methods are compiled in and available on the server,
- in the following order: SASL, ANONYMOUS, GSSAPI, CRAM-MD5, LOGIN.
+ Mutt-ng can be built using a library called ``libESMTP'' which provides SMTP
+ functionality. When configure was called with --with-libesmtp or the output
+ muttng -v contains +USE_LIBESMTP, this will be or is the case already. The SMTP
+ support includes support for Delivery Status Notification (see _\bD_\be_\bl_\bi_\bv_\be_\br_\by _\bS_\bt_\ba_\bt_\bu_\bs
+ _\bN_\bo_\bt_\bi_\bf_\bi_\bc_\ba_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn (section 4.12 , page 63) section) as well as handling the 8BIT-
+ MIME flag controlled via _\b$_\bu_\bs_\be_\b__\b8_\bb_\bi_\bt_\bm_\bi_\bm_\be (section 7.4.344 , page 173).
- There are a few variables which control authentication:
+ To enable sending mail directly via SMTP without an MTA such as Postfix or
+ SSMTP and the like, simply set the _\b$_\bs_\bm_\bt_\bp_\b__\bh_\bo_\bs_\bt (section 7.4.302 , page 161)
+ variable pointing to your SMTP server.
- +\bo _\b$_\bi_\bm_\ba_\bp_\b__\bu_\bs_\be_\br (section 6.3.104 , page 89) - controls the username under
- which you request authentication on the IMAP server, for all authentica-
- tors. This is overridden by an explicit username in the mailbox path (i.e.
- by using a mailbox name of the form {user@host}).
+ Authentication mechanisms are available via the _\b$_\bs_\bm_\bt_\bp_\b__\bu_\bs_\be_\br (section 7.4.306 ,
+ page 162) and _\b$_\bs_\bm_\bt_\bp_\b__\bp_\ba_\bs_\bs (section 7.4.303 , page 162) variables.
- +\bo _\b$_\bi_\bm_\ba_\bp_\b__\bp_\ba_\bs_\bs (section 6.3.99 , page 87) - a password which you may preset,
- used by all authentication methods where a password is needed.
+ Transport Encryption via the StartTLS command is also available. For this to
+ work, first of all Mutt-ng must be built with SSL or GNUTLS. Secondly, the
+ _\b$_\bs_\bm_\bt_\bp_\b__\bu_\bs_\be_\b__\bt_\bl_\bs (section 7.4.305 , page 162) variable must be either set to
+ ``enabled'' or ``required.'' In both cases, StartTLS will be used if the server
+ supports it: for the second case, the connection will fail if it doesn't while
+ switching back to unencrypted communication for the first one.
- +\bo _\b$_\bi_\bm_\ba_\bp_\b__\ba_\bu_\bt_\bh_\be_\bn_\bt_\bi_\bc_\ba_\bt_\bo_\br_\bs (section 6.3.90 , page 85) - a colon-delimited list
- of IMAP authentication methods to try, in the order you wish to try them.
- If specified, this overrides mutt's default (attempt everything, in the
- order listed above).
+ Some mail providers require user's to set a particular envelope sender, i.e.
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 68
+

If Mutt-ng was compiled with compressed folders support (by running the _\bc_\bo_\bn_\bf_\bi_\bg_\b-
_\bu_\br_\be script with the _\b-_\b-_\be_\bn_\ba_\bb_\bl_\be_\b-_\bc_\bo_\bm_\bp_\br_\be_\bs_\bs_\be_\bd flag), Mutt can open folders stored in
an arbitrary format, provided that the user has a script to convert from/to
this format to one of the accepted.
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 51
-
The most common use is to open compressed archived folders e.g. with gzip.
In addition, the user can provide a script that gets a folder in an accepted
may be faster than converting the entire folder to the accepted format, append-
ing to it and converting back to the user-defined format.
- There are three hooks defined (_\bo_\bp_\be_\bn_\b-_\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk (section 4.16.1 , page 50), _\bc_\bl_\bo_\bs_\be_\b-
- _\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk (section 4.16.2 , page 51) and _\ba_\bp_\bp_\be_\bn_\bd_\b-_\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk (section 4.16.3 , page 51))
+ There are three hooks defined (_\bo_\bp_\be_\bn_\b-_\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk (section 4.19.1 , page 69), _\bc_\bl_\bo_\bs_\be_\b-

which define commands to uncompress and compress a folder and to append mes-
sages to an existing compressed folder respectively.
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 69
+
For example:
open-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t"
append-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f"
You do not have to specify all of the commands. If you omit _\ba_\bp_\bp_\be_\bn_\bd_\b-_\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk (sec-
- tion 4.16.3 , page 51), the folder will be open and closed again each time you
- will add to it. If you omit _\bc_\bl_\bo_\bs_\be_\b-_\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk (section 4.16.2 , page 51) (or give
+ tion 4.19.3 , page 70), the folder will be open and closed again each time you
+ will add to it. If you omit _\bc_\bl_\bo_\bs_\be_\b-_\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk (section 4.19.2 , page 69) (or give
empty command) , the folder will be open in the mode. If you specify _\ba_\bp_\bp_\be_\bn_\bd_\b-

Note that Mutt-ng will only try to use hooks if the file is not in one of the
accepted formats. In particular, if the file is empty, mutt supposes it is not
compressed. This is important because it allows the use of programs that do not
have well defined extensions. Just use '.' as a regexp. But this may be sur-
prising if your compressing script produces empty files. In this situation,

you want to encrypt a folder with PGP, you may want to use the following hooks:
Mutt-ng will denote attachments with a couple lines describing them. These
lines are of the form:
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 54
-
[-- Attachment #1: Description --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 10000 --]
Where the Description is the description or filename given for the attachment,
and the Encoding is one of 7bit/8bit/quoted-printable/base64/binary.

view attachments as text, or view them using the mailcap viewer definition.
Finally, you can apply the usual message-related functions (like _\br_\be_\bs_\be_\bn_\bd_\b-_\bm_\be_\bs_\bs_\ba_\bg_\be
- (section 2.3.4 , page 9), and the reply and forward functions) to attachments

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
where $HOME is your home directory.
In particular, the metamail distribution will install a mailcap file, usually

Although mutt's procedures to invoke programs with mailcap seem to be safe,
there are other applications parsing mailcap, maybe taking less care of it.
copiousoutput
This flag tells Mutt-ng that the command passes possibly large
amounts of text on stdout. This causes Mutt-ng to invoke a pager

- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 58
-
(either the internal pager or the external pager defined by the
pager variable) on the output of the view command. Without this

flag, Mutt-ng assumes that the command is interactive. One could
use this to replace the pipe to more in the lynx -dump example in
the Basic section:

The various commands defined in the mailcap files are passed to the /bin/sh
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 78

it is parsed to expand various special parameters with information from Mutt-

+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 80
- The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 62
+ auto_view text/html application/x-gunzip application/postscript image/gif application/x-tar-gz
Mutt-ng could use the following mailcap entries to automatically view attach-
ments of these types.
alternative_order text/enriched text/plain text application/postscript image/*
Next, mutt will check if any of the types have a defined _\ba_\bu_\bt_\bo_\b__\bv_\bi_\be_\bw (section

+ as few permissions as possible.
+
+ Please do not run mutt-ng as the super user.
+
+ When configuring mutt-ng, there're some points to note about secure setups.
+
+ In practice, mutt-ng can be easily made as vulnerable as even the most insecure
+ mail user agents (in their default configuration) just by changing mutt-ng's
+ configuration files: it then can execute arbitrary programs and scripts
+ attached to messages, send out private data on its own, etc. Although this is

+
+ _\b6_\b._\b1 _\bP_\ba_\bs_\bs_\bw_\bo_\br_\bd_\bs
+
+ Although mutt-ng can be told the various passwords for accounts, please never
+ store passwords in configuration files. Besides the fact that the system's
+ operator can always read them, you could forget to replace the actual password
+ with asterisks when reporting a bug or asking for help via, for example, a
+ mailing list so that your mail including your password could be archived by
+ internet search engines, etc. Please never store passwords on disk.
+
+ _\b6_\b._\b2 _\bT_\be_\bm_\bp_\bo_\br_\ba_\br_\by _\bF_\bi_\bl_\be_\bs
+
+ Mutt-ng uses many temporary files for viewing messages, verifying digital sig-
+ natures, etc. The _\b$_\bu_\bm_\ba_\bs_\bk (section 7.4.342 , page 173) variable can be used to
+ change the default permissions of these files. Please only change it if you
+ really know what you are doing. Also, a different location for these files may
+ be desired which can be changed via the _\b$_\bt_\bm_\bp_\bd_\bi_\br (section 7.4.338 , page 172)

+
+ In the default configuration, mutt-ng will leak some information to the outside
+ world when sending messages: the generation of Message-ID: headers includes a
+ step counter which is increased (and rotated) with every message sent. If you'd
+ like to hide this information probably telling others how many mail you sent in
+ which time, you at least need to remove the %P expando from the default setting
+ of the _\b$_\bm_\bs_\bg_\bi_\bd_\b__\bf_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt (section 7.4.149 , page 125) variable. Please make sure
+ that you really know how local parts of these Message-ID: headers are composed.

+
+ As mutt-ng be can be set up to be the mail client to handle mailto: style links
+ in websites, there're security considerations, too. To keep the old behavior by
+ default, mutt-ng will be strict in interpreting them which means that arbitrary
+ header fields can be embedded in these links which could override existing
+ header fields or attach arbitrary files. This may be problematic if the
+ _\b$_\be_\bd_\bi_\bt_\b__\bh_\be_\ba_\bd_\be_\br_\bs (section 7.4.59 , page 103) variable is _\bu_\bn_\bs_\be_\bt, i.e. the user
+ doesn't want to see header fields while editing the message.
+
+ For example, following a link like
+
+ mailto:joe@host?Attach=~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
+
+ will send out the user's private gnupg keyring to joe@host if the user doesn't

+ Mutt-ng in many places has to rely on external applications or for convenience
+ supports mechanisms involving external applications.
+
+ _\b6_\b._\b4_\b._\b1 _\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\bc_\ba_\bp
+
+ One of these is the mailcap mechanism as defined by RfC 1524. Mutt-ng can be
+ set up to _\ba_\bu_\bt_\bo_\bm_\ba_\bt_\bi_\bc_\ba_\bl_\bl_\by execute any given utility as listed in one of the mail-
+ cap files (see the _\b$_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\bc_\ba_\bp_\b__\bp_\ba_\bt_\bh (section 7.4.122 , page 120) variable for
+ details.)
+
+ These utilities may have a variety of security vulnerabilities, including over-
+ writing of arbitrary files, information leaks or other exploitable bugs. These
+ vulnerabilities may go unnoticed by the user, especially when they are called
+ automatically (and without interactive prompting) from the mailcap file(s).
+ When using mutt-ng's autoview mechanism in combination with mailcap files,
+ please be sure to...
+
+ +\bo manually select trustworth applications with a reasonable calling sequence
+
+ +\bo periodically check the contents of mailcap files, especially after soft-
+ ware installations or upgrades
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 83
+
+ +\bo keep the software packages referenced in the mailcap file up to date
+
+ +\bo leave the _\b$_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\bc_\ba_\bp_\b__\bs_\ba_\bn_\bi_\bt_\bi_\bz_\be (section 7.4.123 , page 120) variable in its
+ default state to restrict mailcap expandos to a safe set of characters
+
+ _\b6_\b._\b4_\b._\b2 _\bO_\bt_\bh_\be_\br
+
+ Besides the mailcap mechanism, mutt-ng uses a number of other external utili-
+ ties for operation.
+
+ The same security considerations apply for these as for tools involved via
+ mailcap (for example, mutt-ng is vulnerable to Denial of Service Attacks with
+ compressed folders support if the uncompressed mailbox is too large for the
+ disk it is saved to.)
+
+ As already noted, most of these problems are not built in but caused by wrong
+ configuration, so please check your configuration.
