If you look at the mutt.org website, there are links to different peoples .muttrc and their various keybindings. Between the manual and these examples, you should be able to get the idea. The brackets delimit the text version of a command that Mutt interprets as the actual command. If you look at the end of the Mutt manual, you'll see a lists of the commands broken down by the different parts of Mutt (pager, index, compose). So <save-message> is the equivelant of the s key and saves a message to a directory. The macro <save-message>=some-folder\n saves a message to some-folder which is under $MAIL. HTH. -- Michael Herman
