Hi Patrick, thank you for answering and for this really good mail client!

Even mutt is not able to do this. And I have not missed it. The possibility to attach files this way is much more interesting. > When you see the "to>" prompt, type in some prefix of a (realname part of a) > contact from abook and hit <tab>. This was my assumption. But it is not working here. Obviously I make a mistake. Here is my config: -- BEGIN ~/.config/alot/config -- theme = solarized_dark editor_cmd = 'vim +/^$ "+normal j" "+:set textwidth=80" "+:set ft=mail"' [accounts] ? ? [[work]] ? ? ? ? realname = Joseph Tannhuber ? ? ? ? address = jtannhuber at work.de ? ? ? ? signature = ~/.signature ? ? ? ? sendmail_command = msmtp --account=work -t ? ? ? ? sent_box = maildir:///home/sepp/Maildir/Sent ? ? ? ? draft_box = maildir:///home/sepp/Maildir/Drafts ? ? ? ? [[[abook]]] ? ? ? ? ? ? type = abook -- END -- Is there anything missing? By the way: Is it possible to set the X11 urgency hint flag when new mail arrives? In principle one can use the visual bell in the terminal. Then alot must only invoke a shell command: ? echo -e "\b" Best regards Joseph
