My ~/Mail is a local maildir mailbox, and I have quite a few folder-hooks, some to set different 'from' and 'sendmail' to send via various smtp servers and addresses and some set other properties:
folder-hook .* source ~/.mutt/default folder-hook =Lists/* source ~/.mutt/listhook folder-hook =Google source ~/.mutt/google folder-hook =Yahoo source ~/.mutt/yahoo folder-hook =Paypal|Sent|Ebay|Trash|Shops|Slackware set sort=date ... etc. There are around 12 custom hooks in all. Because I was having problems, I also added them without the = too to see if would help. After a while though I find that settings aren't being applied and I can't seem to find any clues why. Is it the .* that's messing up the others? They seem to work fine for a while, even with that. If there are better ways to do this I'd be glad for any ideas. -Dave -- It's now the GNU Emacs of all terminal emulators. -- Linus Torvalds, regarding the fact that Linux started off as a terminal emulator .--. oo (____)// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'
