Sorry for the late response, and I don't have a direct answer to your question,
but since I didn't see any direct answers I figured I'd share my solution that
might be something that you can adapt.
I use a Mutt pipe variable to let me use a script to set the index format,
passing the datetime of the message and the current datetime as variables. I
then have the script do date calcuations and echo an otherwise fixed index
format that has a variable date format.
My current script does what your index-format-hook does: shows the weekday name
if the difference between the message and the current datetime is between 7 and
1 days. But since it's a shell script, the test can be changed to something
else to do what you want.
Despite running the shell script for each visible message, I don't notice any
slowdown.
Here's an untested patch for what you're asking for, using GNU date supporting
the %V format string (ISO week number with Monday as the first day of the
%week). Note that this runs two more commands ("date" twice) for dates that
are less than 7 days old. I doubt that will make it noticibly slower, but test
it.
Replace
format="%8[%a %-I%P]" # ' Thu 6pm'
with
# use week day name only within the same ISO week number, with weeks starting
on Monday
if [ "$(date +%V -d "@$now")" = "$(date +%V -d "@$msg_date") ]; then
format="%8[%a %-I%P]"# ' Thu 6pm'
else
format="%8[%b %d]" # ' Jan 20'
fi
In ~/.mutt/muttrc:
# Show different date/time formats in index based on message age
# WORKAROUND: '<%s>' used to work, but doesn't in NeoMutt 1.7.2. Width
specifier fixes.
set index_format="/home/edgewood/.mutt/bin/format_date '%[%s]' '%1<%s>' |"

index-format-hook date pattern for current week
Hi, I am using an index-format-hook inside of index_format, to change the way the date column is displayed based on how old the email is. My current setting is the following: # ID, Attachments, Flags, Subject, Correspondent, Date set index_format = "%4C %?X?& ?%-1.1@replied@%-2.2@encrypted@%-1.1@flagged@ %-92.92s %-64.64@correspondent@ %* %10@date@" index-format-hook date "~d<1d" "%[%H:%M]" # If it's from today - I only want the time index-format-hook date "~d<1w" "%[%d %a]" # If it's from this week - I only want the day and the date index-format-hook date "~d<1y" "%[%b %d]" # If it's from this year, I only want the date and the month index-format-hook date "~A" "%[%d/%m/%Y]" # If it's from a past year I only want the date, the month and the year The rest works as I want it to and as I expect it to, besides the week pattern. If any email is from the last seven days, it gets caught by the week pattern. I don't want that. I want only emails from the current week to get caught by the week pattern, not all emails from the last 7 days. Here's what is currently happening: Today is Tuesday, August 31st. In my email, currently, the oldest email being caught by the week pattern is from Wednesday, August 25th. Here's what I want to be happening: Today is Tuesday, August 31st. In my email, the oldest email that should be getting caught by the week pattern should be from Monday, August 30th. Is there another week pattern or another pattern in general, that I can use to make that happen or perhaps a way to make the current pattern work like this? Best Regards, IFo Hancroft
Index format for subscribed lists
Hi, I was just wondering if there was an easy way to show messages as arriving from me when coming from a mailing list known to mutt. For example: (a thread on mutt-users) What normally happens ... 555 Apr 10 Some User A( 16) Some topic 556 r Apr 10 Some User B( 21) |- 557 Apr 10 To mutt-users ( 12) |- What seems logical to me :) 555 Apr 10 Some User A( 16) Some topic 556 r Apr 10 Some User B( 21) |- 557 Apr 10 Joseph ( 12) |- However mail that isn't sent to a known list still shows up as To ... if it's from me. Reason for all this being that I would like to be able to quickly see my messages in a thread, where at the same time still see To addresses for normal outgoing mail (for folders that hold a copy of my outgoing mail and such). Thanks, -Joseph

The only things wrong I can see are that the line

has only one single-quote and that the line
folder-hook +Outgoing/mutt-users 'set index_format=%4C %Z %{%b %d}

wraps. Otherwise, your use of the folder-hook looks fine, including
putting the default folder-hook first. You said the index_formats
worked when set directly, so I didn't look closely at those.

Re: Index format
Hi
Thanks to all who replied. I have got it working now thanks. Just in
case anyone else is having similar issued it looks like this now:
Default format
folder-hook . 'set index_format=%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s'
Normal incoming mail mailbox
folder-hook +Spool/azlan 'set index_format=%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L
(%4l) %s'
Normal outgoing mail mailbox
folder-hook +Outgoing/azlan 'set index_format=%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15t
(%4l) %s'
Incoming mailbox that is mail from a mailing list (thsi si the one that
was causing me problems I think)
folder-hook +Spool/debian-user 'set index_format=%4C %Z %{%b %d}
%-15.15F (%4l) %s'
Note the use of 15.15F in the above instead of the 15.15L for normal
mailboxes.
Some of the above lines may have wrapped as I have text width set to 72
chars.
Thanks again all.

Re: Index format
My experience with hooks is that if you have to set specific mailbox
hooks BEFORE setting a default. Try changing the order of the hooks
so that the default comes after all the others. My o/s and version are
as above.

postponed index format?
I have looked around the manual, but can't find anything on this. Can I set the format of the postponed index? Now it sets it to show the sender, like most other mailboxes. I set 'postponed' in my muttrc to show the recipient instead, like in my 'sent' mailbox. This only works if I go to the postponed mailbox. But if I hit 'R' to recall a postponed message and there is more than one, the index is formatted with the sender. Thanks for any input... -Ken -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]AIM: ScopusFest
