Re: Possible to add a user-defined field Keyword to read message before/when save?

It's supported in the 1.3 series, but you need a patch for 1.2. The basic support in 1.3 only provides recognition of the header, not editing. (You edit it using edit-message.) Another patch provides a binding (edit-label, 'y') to edit the header within mutt, with no external editor. I find this much easier to use, personally.

Re: Possible to add a user-defined field Keyword to read message before/when save?
Thus spake Charles Jie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Obviously I don't mean 'e' (edit) command count. The purpose of it is that I want to give keywords or category to read messages so that I can search them easier later. If I can add this field easily when I save it or before I press 's' with ease, I don't bother to save messages into that many folders. :) I think something that might accomplish this would be to add an X-header to the message after reading, similar to the way that Evolution adds a custom header (for some purpose or another). Aside from editing the message, perhaps passing it to a shell command that would take a keyword or such and add the header? Anyone see what I'm talking about? Perhaps someone can build on the idea... -- Justin R.
