Hi,

I've just set up mu4e and imported 110,000 messages with mu. I like the 
system and am seriously considering switching from alpine. Unfortunately, 
I'm not much of a lisp hacker and that may make adoption difficult. Anyway, 
I have some comments and questions I hope y'all can answer to help me 
evaluate this.

First, a small contribution: I found that using pandoc as the html-to-text 
converter lets me view incoming HTML in org-mode syntax: (setq 
mu4e-html2text-command "pandoc -f html -t org")

0) If I set a ".noindex" file for mu, how do I search those mailboxes? Do I 
just need to explicitely enter them (via j o <maildir>) and then the search 
will work?

1) Perhaps I need to change my behavior rather than customize mu4e, but I 
still prefer some filing with Fcc rather than everything to sent or 
archive. I copied the Bcc example 
from http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/Compose-hooks.html for Fcc, 
but things are still filed in "sent". I'm trying to replicate my existing 
alpine behavior.

Currently, the Alpine address book is built from the OS X Contacts (via the 
"contacts" command line program available in Homebrew). Nickname from each 
contact, if it exists, becomes the Fcc field, otherwise company name, 
otherwise default. This lets me have all family members and friends get 
their own mailbox, but all work colleagues file into the same place, for 
example.

2) I found two examples about reply role based on either who the message 
was sent to (compose hook 
http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/Compose-hooks.html), or what 
maildir the message was in 
(http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/Multiple-accounts.html). I prefer 
the reply based on what email address it was sent to. Implementing that 
code doesn't seem to work, and again, my lisp skills are not very 
developed. I can get it so when I compose a new message it asks me for an 
account, but if I then reply to a message, I get "error in process filter: 
No email account found". I'd just like the reply to be from the email I 
received it at, which is either in the To: or Cc: field, and a default if 
not found (for example, if message was Bcc: to me).

3) I don't have imagemagick but do have graphicsmagick. Images show inline, 
but are not scaled. Is there a way to do the scaling with graphicsmagick?


Overall very nice software. I hope I can make the switch, and I hope asking 
lots of question here is OK.

Thanks,

   -k.
