For every item available, there is a so called _e_x_p_a_n_d_o. + + 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: + + +o the current hostname - _4_._2_._1 _P_a_t_t_e_r_n _M_o_d_i_f_i_e_r + +o the current mutt-ng version number - 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 ^.

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: - Logical AND is performed by specifying more than one criterion. For example: + Mutt-ng 1.5.9i on mailhost: ... - ~t mutt ~f elkins + In the index, there're more useful information one could want to see: - would select messages which contain the word ``mutt'' in the list of recipients - aanndd that have the word ``elkins'' in the ``From'' header field. + +o which mailbox is open - Mutt-ng also recognizes the following operators to create more complex search - patterns: + +o how man new, flagged or postponed messages - +o ! -- logical NOT operator + +o ... - +o | -- logical OR operator + To include the mailbox' name is as easy as: - +o () -- logical grouping operator + The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 51 - Here is an example illustrating a complex search pattern.

If there aren't messages of a certain type, it may + not be desired to print just that there aren't any but instead only print some- + thing if there are any. - Note that if a regular expression contains parenthesis, or a veritical bar - ("|"), you mmuusstt 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, + _4_._3_._2 _C_o_n_d_i_t_i_o_n_a_l _E_x_p_a_n_s_i_o_n - The Mutt-ng E-Mail Client 40 + To only print the number of messages if there are new messages in the current + mailbox, further extend $status_format to: - ~f "me@(mutt\.org|cs\.hmc\.edu)" + set status_format = "%v on %h: %B %?n?%n new? ... - Without the quotes, the parenthesis wouldn't end. This would be separated to - two OR'd patterns: _~_f _m_e_@_(_m_u_t_t_\_._o_r_g and _c_s_\_._h_m_c_\_._e_d_u_). They are never what you - want. + This feature is called _n_o_n_z_e_r_o_-_p_r_i_n_t_i_n_g 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: - _4_._2_._3 _S_e_a_r_c_h_i_n_g _b_y _D_a_t_e + %??? - Mutt-ng supports two types of dates, _a_b_s_o_l_u_t_e and _r_e_l_a_t_i_v_e. + which tells mutt-ng to only look at if the value of the + %?&? - If you omit the minimum (first) date, and just specify ``-DD/MM/YY'', all mes- - sages _b_e_f_o_r_e the given date will be selected. If you omit the maximum (second) - date, and specify ``DD/MM/YY-'', all messages _a_f_t_e_r 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. + Using this we can make mutt-ng to do the following: - EErrrroorr MMaarrggiinnss. 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: + +o make it print ``_n new messages'' whereby _n is the count but only if there + new ones - y years - m months - w weeks - d days + +o and make it print ``no new messages'' if there aren't any - As a special case, you can replace the sign by a ``*'' character, which is - equivalent to giving identical plus and minus error margins. + The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 52 - Example: To select any messages two weeks around January 15, 2001, you'd use - the following pattern: + The corresponding configuration is: - Limit to messages matching: ~d 15/1/2001*2w + set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: %?n?%n new messages&no new messages? ... - RReellaattiivvee. This type of date is relative to the current date, and may be speci- - fied as: + This doubles the use of the ``new messages'' string because it'll get always + printed. Thus, it can be shortened to: - +o >_o_f_f_s_e_t (messages older than _o_f_f_s_e_t units) + set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: %?n?%n&no? new messages ... - +o <_o_f_f_s_e_t (messages newer than _o_f_f_s_e_t units) + As you might see from this rather simple example, one can create very complex + but fancy status messages.
