What I've done is nest them, so that a set of folder-hooks define the set of send-hooks and/or message-hooks to be used within that folder. It looks a little complicated at first, but it works quite well. Here's one example: the hooks I use for setting my signature. I had to edit it a bit for public consumption, so I hope I didn't leave out anything important. # Set the default 'signature' for the current folder. This may be # overridden for particular recipients. # folder-hook . 'unhook send-hook' folder-hook . 'send-hook . "set signature=$HOME/.mutt/signature.external"' folder-hook +Incoming/. 'send-hook . "set signature="' folder-hook +Incoming/mutt-dev 'send-hook . "set signature=$HOME/.mutt/signature.external.mutt"' folder-hook +Incoming/mutt-users 'send-hook . "set signature=$HOME/.mutt/signature.external.mutt"' folder-hook . 'send-hook "^~t \"@my_company\.com$\"" "set signature=$HOME/.mutt/signature.internal"' folder-hook . 'send-hook "^~t \"@some_company\.com$\"" "set signature=$HOME/.mutt/signature.external_sea_w_phone"' I've also avoided the long lines and awkward quoting in one place by sourcing a file containing message-hooks: folder-hook . 'unhook message-hook' folder-hook . 'source ~/.mutt/default-message-hooks' HTH, Gary
