of course they're truly deleted... I mean, if I wanted mutt to move them to, say, a "Trash" folder, I'd save them there myself! But mutt being so nice, you can make a macro, so that D will do "s=Trash\n" instead of actually deleting the message. > 2.

You can use *-hooks, if you always want to send from a certain folder as a certain address, or when replying to certain emails. What I use though is a bunch of macros, that will change my current setup, so that every message from now on will be sent as a new profile... so something like (from memory, untested): macro index <F5> ':set [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n:set signature="~/.sig-addr"' macro index <F6> ':set [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n:set signature="~/.sig-addr2"' etc...
