Thanks, Michael and Mikko, for your explanation. Using <filter-entry>
bound to F works. It prompts for my filter script and then needs a
"yes" reply as it warns it is overwriting the mutt-hostname-number file
in /tmp.
So far so good. I then tried to write a macro:-
macro attach \Cp "<filter-entry>try1<enter>yes<enter>"
try1 is the name, for now, of my filter script.
This does not work. When I try, it says the key is not bound and
if I use '?' to see what is bound it indeed is not bound. I have the
following in my muttrc, many taken from Roland's keybinding. Mostly
these do not show in '?' in the attach menu either. Only \e;, Q and v
show and I suspect these are defaults. i is still bound to ispell, which
I guess is the default.
macro attach \Cb ":set pipe_decode\n|urlview\n:unset pipe_decode\n" \
"Call urlview to extract URLs out of a message"
bind attach g group-reply
bind attach i exit
macro attach \el "|less\n" "View plain message using less"
# view plain message
bind attach Q exit
macro attach \eu "|uudeview -\n" "uudecode attachment"
# uudecode attachment
bind attach v view-attach
Is this a bug that you can not add macros and bindings to the attach
menu? Or as usual am I making a fool of myself?
Cheers, Brian.
