IMHO it definitely shouldn't. A global directory of footer files is a very bad idea -- you might need to put a huge number of footers there if this directory is supposed to suit all local users. And since matching various footers against the bottom lines of a given message is quite a performance-intensive procedure, you should avoid unnecessary files in your footer directory to keep decent performance. An even better idea for good performance is using mutt's folder-hooks for switching between different (much smaller) sets of footer files (assuming you have your incoming mail sorted into several folders, e.g. one for each mailing list you get). > Currently it's also not as easy as it could be to add your own footer > files (the reason why the global activation is deactivated here). As you can see above, it's really a good idea to keep per-user footer directories (where it should be a piece of cake to add your own hand- tweaked footer files). Hope this helps, and best greetings, Jochen. -- Stau - ein Wort, wie es deutscher und eleganter nicht sein könnte.
