Re: Gmail style alias setting
Hello Take a look at lbdb (Little brother database, http://www.spinnaker.de/lbdb/). You can pipe all mail through this little app which then stores all found email adresses. Additionaly it has the possibility to fetch more adresses from other sources too. If you don't use procmail or any other tool to process mail on receiving, you can use the filter-functionality of mutt to parse the mail on reading. Greetings Hello, Gmail can do a lot of work automatically, but I believe mutt can do it better. Such as alias setting, gmail can 1. store all mails appeared in all mail headers, e.g., From/To/CC/BCC 2. auto-complete when your key-in any part of a mail address. e.g., when you key in ab, addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ab Barth, [EMAIL PROTECTED] will show up for your choice. 3. when storing alias, if the person's name is included in header, gmail will save it too, for example, if you receive a mail from Ab Barth, [EMAIL PROTECTED], the name and address will both be saved. Do you think it's possible to let mutt do the alias thing as smart as gmail? Please tell me how to. Thank you very much!

Better. It shows a list and you use the arrow keys to get the one you want. 3. when storing alias, if the person's name is included in header, gmail will save it too, for example, if you receive a mail from Ab Barth, [EMAIL PROTECTED], the name and address will both be saved.
