Re: How do you search to: header?
Thanks to everyone for the help! Is there a place where the default key bindings are listed? For example, l being the key for limit isn't in help. Thanks!

Hmmm... That certainly sounds like the index. Does your help screen
look like
Help for index -- (32%)
^B macro |urlview\n
^D delete-thread delete all messages in thread
^E edit-type edit attachment content type
^F forget-passphrase wipe PGP passphrase from memory
Tab next-new jump to the next new message
.
.
.
or perhaps instead like
Help for pager -- (42%)
^B macro |urlview\n
^D half-down scroll down 1/2 page
^E edit-type edit attachment content type
^F forget-passphrase wipe PGP passphrase from memory
Tab next-new jump to the next new message
or such?
Assuming you really do have help for index shown, you should see
something like
Help for index -- (32%)
^B macro |urlview\n
^D delete-thread delete all messages in thread
...
Esck mail-key mail a PGP public key
Escl show-limit show currently active limit pattern
Escn next-subthread jump to the next subthread
...
K previous-entry move to the previous entry
L bottom-pagemove to the bottom of the page
N toggle-new toggle a message's 'new' flag
...
k previous-undeleted move to the previous undeleted message
l limit show only messages matching a pattern
m mail compose a new mail message
and be able to type
/limit
within the help screen and see any occurrences of limit highlighted.
% limit. It does show the key binding for showing the active limit, though.
% Do I just have a weird version? I'm using the one that's packaged for
% Debian.
Well, although I don't particularly trust packaged versions, I doubt that
that's the issue.
If you really go through all of the steps above and you really are in the
index help and it really isn't there, then show us the results of running
mutt -v
and
grep limit .mutt{,/mutt}rc
grep limit /dev/null `mutt -v | grep SYSCONF | awk -F\ '{print $2}'`/Muttrc
from your shell prompt so that we can dig into this a bit (I wondered
if I was going to be able to get that last one on a single line! :-)

How do you search to: header?
I was just wondering how I would search for someone I sent a message to. Using / doesn't help -- that only seems to search subject and from:. Also, is there documentation somewhere on searching? I tried hitting help in mutt, but it doesn't even show that / is a key to hit for searching. Thanks! Jen
