Buried in here is the information that mutt scans for macros
recursively, which is news to me.  Still deciding if it is good or bad
news, but it's good to know about it :-P


No, it parses them incrementally. So in the pager using the above, mutt sees my 
type "g", and pushes "qg" onto the input queue. Then it pulls off the "q", 
which is mapped the , and quits the pager. Then it pulls off the "g" and 
pushes "". So in a sense the input queue is a stack, 
but otherwise it is all iterative.

So what happens is mutt sees t (tag-entry), a (create-alias)
Which is what you describe.

Until now I always did it from the index, and it works flawlessly.

Today I tried it in the pager for the first time, and of course
something exciting and unexpected happens :-)  Mutt says:

Personally, several of my alias for the pager start with "q", eg:

 macro index g "" "group reply"
 macro pager g "qg" "group reply"

i.e. bail out of the pager and run the same macro from the index.

C-a c binding in pager view

[Ian Zimmerman]

I've had this in .muttrc for a while (along with other bindings starting
with \ca):

macro index,pager \cac "~N" "catch 
up"

Until now I always did it from the index, and it works flawlessly.

Today I tried it in the pager for the first time, and of course
something exciting and unexpected happens :-)  Mutt says:

Warning: This alias name may not work.  Fix it? ([yes]/no): 

When I hit n (which looked safest), it says:

Address: sender@sender.domain

(where the real address reflects the sender of the message I'm paging
through).  What is going on?  When I hit the help key in pager mode the
macro shows up as it should and I see no other binding for this key
sequence anywhere.
