Re: mutt doesn't list mailboxes in hidden files
Hi, * Alexander Skwar [05/19/02 10:34:23 CEST] wrote: So I've set my mailboxes line to be: mailboxes ! +.ML-MUTT-USERS However, this doesn't work, because mutt doesn't seem to take mailboxes which begin with a Dot (.) (and are hidden because of this). If mutt didn't accept it, it would print a message, I think. How can I make mutt take hidden files/maildirs and display when there is new mail in the spool? I guess you didn't touch the $mask variable. Maybe mutt does what you'd want it to do but just doesn't display anything because of your $mask. Cheers, Rocco.

Oh, yes, you're right! I would have thought that the $mask only controls what's displayed in the file browser, but guess not! It also controls which files will look at in the first place!

Or you would work around it with a symlink or you don't wan't to change $mask.

Cheers, Well, the symlink trick also only works when $mask=.* - see my other mail. In the default $mask case, mutt doesn't look at the symlink target.
