Sent-folder to display SEND TO address instead SEND FROM

2013-02-07 Thread Torsten Flammiger 
I use for my regular inbox:
 set index_format=%4C %Z [%-25.25n] [%d] (%?M?C%3M%4c?) %s

and I try to use this for my Sent folder to display the TO address
in my Sent folder instead of my FROM address.

 folder-hook Sent 'set index_format=%4C %Z [%-25.25t] [%d] \
   (%?M?C%3M%4c?) %s'

However, this does not work. As soon as I jump back from my
Sent folder into any other folder, mutt starts to
display the FROM value the same way as it displays the TO
value in 'Sent' folder: there is now a prefix 'To ' in front of
each %...n format string. I.e. it looks now like
'... [To here comes the sender or recipient] ...'

I don't even understand why there is a 'To ' in front of
each message indicated by [%-25.25t] - but why does mutt
now format every display index like the folder hook I applied
to 'Sent' only? This is boring. I know that I am the recipient
in all folders but SENT - and in SENT I am the only sender,
don't need to remind me ;)

Perhaps I did something wrong.

You'll have to teach mutt to switch back to your normal index
format, when switchin mailboxes:

folder-hook . 'set index_format=%4C %Z [%-25.25n] [%d] (%?M?C%3M%4c?) %s'





Ciao, Gregor

This works for me very well: %-15.15L
