I keep them in order by category, how long I have known the person (if it's a person), and whether I have ever met them face-to-face. sure would be nice, then, to have multiple alias files, eh? Unlike other mailers, Mutt doesn't require aliases to be defined in a special file. The alias command can appear anywhere in a configuration file, as long as this file is sourced. Consequently, you can have multiple alias files, or you can have all aliases defined in your muttrc. On the other hand, the create-alias function can use only one file, the one pointed to by the $alias_file variable (which is ~/.muttrc by default). This file is not special either, in the sense that Mutt will happily append aliases to any file, but in order for the new aliases to take effect you need to explicitly source this file too. For example: source /usr/local/share/Mutt.aliases source ~/.mail_aliases set alias_file=~/.mail_aliases from /usr/share/doc/mutt/html/manual-3.html so your quickie 'a' key will only append to one file (which seems sensible until something better rears its head) but you can have several, and sort'm however you like.
Re: Mutt Address book
Sie schrieben: Is there an address book for Mutt? I'm running woody. Have a look at abook From the man page: abook is a simple text-based address book program. It contains Name, Email, Address and Phone fields. It is designed for use with mutt, but can be equally useful on its own.
