alphabetically listing

2002-05-22 Thread kvh

Hello,
  I would like the directory/mailbox listings to be in alphabetical
order.  Is this possible?  For example when I open a mailbox and 
choose (? for list). I'm not sure how it is sorted now.

It looks to me that you've got your mail folders nested within
subdirectories of your ~/Mail directory.  There may be a reason for
this, but it seems unnecessarily complicated.  If, instead, your mail is
kept in files directly under your ~/Mail directory, mutt will, by
default, list them in alpha order.

You could set up these files using procmail or, if you're doing all
this manually (my guess), simply execute: touch ~/Mail/foo to create the
folder.  Then, save mail to the new folder(s) as usual.
