I haven't verified this, but my guess is that since "set record" appears
before "set folder" in your muttrc, record was set using the value of
folder in effect at that time, which was still the default value of
"~/Mail".  So you should be able to fix this by putting the "set record"
line before any line that references the "+" or "=" directory.

I'd call it a feature.

Sorry, I confused "record" and "folder".  That should have been:

Sorting threads: bug or feature?

1999-06-23 Thread Anonymous

I have set

sort=threads
sort_aux=score

in my .muttrc.  I get threads sorted like this within the index:

-
1 O   Jun 23 Ingo Molnar (   0) [fixpatch] pagecache-2.3.8-B4
2 O   Jun 23 Ingo Molnar (   0) --
3 O   Jun 23 Jakob Sandgren  (   0) Re: Disk On Chip driver ?
4 O   Jun 23 Alan Cox(  10) --
-

E.g. I score anything from Alan Cox +10.  But even so, his thread is
sorted after the [fixpatch] thread.

It appears that the threads are being sorted by the score of their
root article, not all the articles in the thread.

Is this a bug, or is it supposed to work this way?



Bug or feature?

1999-02-22 Thread Kaspar Landsberg

Hi all,

i have encountered a strange feature in mutt which i consider a bug. Please
correct me if i should be wrong:

When you bounce a (read?) message to yourself and you have (other) read
messages in your inbox, then, when you directly quit after the bounce has
been sent out, mutt asks you (depending on your config) whether you want to
move the read messages out of the inbox or not. When you say "y" (yes),
then mutt marks all read messages as deleted ("D") instead of moving them
out of the inbox and it doesn't quit (and it shows you the new arrived
(bounced) message). I don't consider the fact that it doesn't quit as a bug
tho but rather as a feature.

Mutt 0.93.2i (1998-07-29)
System: SunOS 5.5.1 [using slang 10202]

Bye, Kasi

PS: I'm not on the mutt-users list.
