I've banged together a (reasonably) complete version of the completion
stuff for bash that David T-G asked about earlier. It's attached. The
only thing that doesn't seem to work for me is getting aliases from
~/.mutt/aliases (the commented out awk piece); the awk script works from
the command line but goes into an infinite loop within the _mutt
function.
If anyone decides to try to use this, be sure to set $MBOXLISTS and
$MUTT to correct values for your setup, of course.
I'll look into donating it to tbe Bash Programmable Completion project
next week.
