You could use the trash folder patch included in most distros. Then you wouldn't need those macros. Is there a way to execute above scripts only on messages and threads whose status is not 'deleted'? You could add a sync-mailbox after the first macro. Though that might be expensive depending on the mailbox type and/or unwanted since you don't get the chance to undo. With the first message out of the way, you don't get dups. PS: Does anyone know of a simple way to disply identical duplicated messages with mutt, and optionally delete only the duplicates?

I wrote that macro with the index as the starting point in mind. But you describe it perfectly. :) Drop that display-message btw. That was a leftover from testing. I actually wonder if the two macros could share some more code. That is, can the attach macro call the first macro? One, if I'm not mistaken - the only way, to call a macro within a macro is to push it's key sequence. The downside here is that you need two different keys then. Besides I find it harder to read and debug.

Re: mutt removing stuff in brackets from subject

Yes it will remove something. As you quoted reply_regexp is also used when replying. Mutt will match $reply_regexp match against the subject and replace everything matching (at the start of the string) with just Re: Say you get a message with the subject Aw: test and reply to it.

Re: 'folder-hook . set sort=threads' and 'set sort=threads'
* On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 11:05PM -0500 Zhengquan Zhang (zhang.zhengq...@gmail.com) muttered: folder-hook . set sort=threads set sort=threads Basically they do the same thing. Is there anything I am missing here? Yes, they do the same thing - unless sort is changed by another folder-hook for some folders. What you quote is what we call a default hook. It provides the generic default case and is overwritten by the special case. For example: folder-hook . set sort=threads folder-hook +spam 'set sort=spam' When you enter the spam folder the sorting is changed to the spam rating. Now when you change to another folder you need a mechanism to change it back. Thus the default hook. Provided you had only: set sort=threads folder-hook +spam 'set sort=spam' Once mutt parses the rc file you would have sort=threads. But if you changed to the spam folder it would be sort=spam as intended. Only how do you get it back now? You don't - you need the default hook. As it is the case with all -hooks btw.
