Hi,

i have that in ~/.muttrc, maybe you could try it:

# to sort mails according score
folder-hook . set sort_aux=score

# best score for my family...
score "~f fam...@family.org" 10

#more examples:
# Add a point to GPG signed messages
score "~g" 1

## Add a point to GPG encrypted messages
score "~G" 1

## Add a point to Flagged messages
score "~F" 1

## Add a point to messages from a known mailing list-
## * Use the, `subscribe' and `lists' command to tell mutt about lists
score "~l" 1

## Add a point to old (unread) messages
score "~O" 1

## Add a point to messages addressed to you-
score "~p" 1

## Add a point to messages from you
score "~P" 1

## Add a point to messages you replied to (using mutt)
score "~Q" 1

## Add a point to read messages
score "~R" 1

## Add a point to messages less than 80,000 bytes-
score "~z 0-8" 1

#If you want to see scoring in messages:
set index_format="%4C %2N %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15F %s"

In fact, after mairix research if x messages match, links in my mairix
box seem not to be updated (no message in the box). Then, i think, it
could be a re-index problem indeed; as you mention it. And cron job must
be a solution to avoid such mistake. Thank you for reply. If problem
persists i'll come back with more precisions. If not, archive-mail and
mairix could be a good solution for archieving.

No mail notification

[Rem P Roberti]

This is the first time this has happened.  I just installed a new
mailbox for mail coming from a new list subscription.  Everthing works
including Procmail which places the mail in the right place.  The only
thing that doesn't work is that I don't get any notification of new mail
for this mailbox.  I checked my .muttrc, and the entries for this new
mailbox are correct, which is to say just the same as the entries for
all the other mailboxes.  Still no notifications of new mail.  Any ideas
on what might be wrong?  At this point all I can do is remember to check
in the mailbox from time to time for new mail.

Maybe you should detail your problems. I use mairix to search archived
email via a wrapper script that invoked mutt on the mairix result folder
after the search. Add a cron job to re-index the archives nightly or
whenever and it's fairly good.

I think the OP did not realise this. You hit 'z' before you normally hit
'y' to send. I did not get around to checking htis until yesterday and
it works fine and is really usefull. Thanks.

Sorry, I was mostly referring to people running a Linux desktop. Most
people in such a use-case nowadays, aren't operating their system as a
server or old mainframe (which is the way most of these tools were
designed). I use them all the time, but in a general sense (for desktop
use) it's not used. The spool would just fill up with such messages and
no one would be looking at them.

Interesting.

One of the common key sequences generated by the "up" key is ^[[A (in 
other words, escape-leftbracket-A). It almost looks like what-key saw 
only the last part of that.

What do you get in a shell if you type control-V then control-up?

On my system, I get: ^[[1;5A

So, on my system, the way to bind that to something in mutt would be:

 bindindex[1;5Aprevious-entry

Since that key sequence doesn't have a name in the termcap, the 
what-key function treats its components individually (it just showed 
you the last letter: A).

>Seems this is not possible, at least not in screen.

Oh, in SCREEN? You didn't mention that before. That's probably going 
to make it a bit unreliable.

Then, you should open a bug. I didn't try to subscribe but the website
says "you can subscribe here...". Maybe there's something wrong with the
mailing list. If it doesn't exist anymore, the website should be
updated.

I hope so. Also, you can open a bug to explain your problem and ask for
a step by step proccess to know how give more relevant information.

However, you should have some time to waste that way.

Hi, i use archive-mail too. But how do you search in you archives?
Sincerely, i have some problems with mairix... even if i can open
folder.gz and search with mutt after.

Then archive-mail i a good solution for me too but i am still looking
for a better solution to search mails.

Thanks. Tried that and it returned

Char = A, Oktal = 101, Dezimal = 65

Tried \101 then and also \65, but none of them worked. I just get "key
not bound".

Seems this is not possible, at least not in screen.

Thanks anyway and for pointing me at what-key - seems pretty useful.

Cheers,
Sven
