I envisage my perfect setup as something like ~/Mail ~/Mail/regular_crap ~/Mail/family_personal ~/Mail/lists Completer with subdirs etc. fcc_save_hook with the expando example? Okay, much thanks David, I cut alot of the message as it's way beyond me for the moment but I've saved the mail ;) Thanks again for your advice, you've managed to help me loads since I started using mutt and it's appreciated. - -- Nick Wilson Tel: +45 3325 0688 Fax: +45 3325 0677 Web: www.explodingnet.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8PJY2HpvrrTa6L5oRAj6uAJ9dvKnlYkMi3y1EfdodKn3qjJ6UCQCfQzdg AXyH7WIyxhDAv7x3sbKGm+4= =ZAdi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
