When I read "creative" I remembered mutt's hooks and started playing around with them. My first idea was: # Turn off autoview before a reply: reply-hook ~A 'unset implicit_autoview' # Turn it back on when opening the next mail message-hook ~A "set implicit_autoview"' Unfortunately this does not work because mutt apparently executes message-hook *after* reply-hook when replying to a message. Chapter "18. Message Composition Flow" of the manual does not list "message-hook". But after a while I came up with a semi-complete solution: # Turn off autoview before a reply: reply-hook ~A 'unset implicit_autoview' # Turn it back on when viewing any message which has no attachment (o/w directly unsets the above setting) message-hook '~X 0' "set implicit_autoview"' Kevin's solution is better and perfect but more complex.
