be quoted by preceding it with a backslash.

beginning and end of a line.

A list of characters enclosed by ``['' and ``]'' matches any single character

matches any character n\bno\bot\bt in the list. For example, the regular expression

A character class is only valid in a regular expression inside the brackets of
a character list. Note that the brackets in these class names are part of the

symbolic names, and must be included in addition to the brackets delimiting the
bracket list. For example, [\b[[\b[:\b:d\bdi\big\bgi\bit\bt:\b:]\b]]\b] is equivalent to [\b[0\b0-\b-9\b9]\b].
The preceding item is matched at least _\bn times, but no more than _\bm

most simple possibility is to logically AND several patterns by stringing them
together:

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).
date ranges between a fixed number of units and the current date. How this
works can be seen in the following example:

Sometimes it is desirable to perform an operation on a group of messages all at

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 6.4.16 ,

which define commands to uncompress and compress a folder and to append mes-

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,

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 mes-
sage/news. In addition, the export controlled version of Mutt-ng recognizes a
-
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 68
-
variety of PGP MIME types, including PGP/MIME and application/pgp.
Mutt-ng will denote attachments with a couple lines describing them. These

+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 69

The '-' denotes that Mutt-ng will delete the file after sending (or postponing,
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
the edit-type command (default: ^T). The next field is the encoding for the
-
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 69
-
attachment, which allows a binary message to be encoded for transmission on
7bit links. It can be changed with the edit-encoding command (default: ^E).
The next field is the size of the attachment, rounded to kilobytes or
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,
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 70
+
XMosaic, lynx and metamail.
In order to handle various MIME types that Mutt-ng can not handle internally,
Mutt-ng parses a series of external configuration files to find an external

-
handler. The default search string for these files is a colon delimited list
set to

Perhaps you would like to use lynx to interactively view a text/html message:

In this case, lynx does not support viewing a file from stdin, so you must use
the %s syntax. N\bNo\bot\bte\be:\b: _\bS_\bo_\bm_\be _\bo_\bl_\bd_\be_\br _\bv_\be_\br_\bs_\bi_\bo_\bn_\bs _\bo_\bf _\bl_\by_\bn_\bx _\bc_\bo_\bn_\bt_\ba_\bi_\bn _\ba _\bb_\bu_\bg _\bw_\bh_\be_\br_\be _\bt_\bh_\be_\by _\bw_\bi_\bl_\bl

The interpretation of shell meta-characters embedded in MIME parameters can
lead to security problems in general. Mutt-ng tries to quote parameters in

there are other applications parsing mailcap, maybe taking less care of it.
