automatic shell command
Hi, Is it possible to have a shell command run each time mutt is opened. like if just after mutt comes up, i'd pressed ':command' example: I've tried to bypass the builtin ^g (fetch-mail) to use the more powerfull program called "fetchmail" by putting macro generic ^g :fetchmail in the .muttrc file. problem: the ^g is still bind to the builtin fetch-mail function...like if the macro is not taken into account at all ?! -- Axel.

(Look it up in the manual) push "!fetchmail\n" or even push "^g" if your macro works example: I've tried to bypass the builtin ^g (fetch-mail) to use the more powerfull program called "fetchmail" by putting macro generic ^g :fetchmail in the .muttrc file. problem: the ^g is still bind to the builtin fetch-mail function...like if the macro is not taken into account at all ?! I don't have pop support compiled in, so i can't tell for sure, but i think the default ^g-binding may be in the index/pager keymap where it has precedence over the generic keymap. So this would help you: macro index ^g '!fetchmail\n' macro pager ^g '!fetchmail\n' Related to this, you could recompile mutt without --enable-pop which should remove the default ^g-action, too. CU, Sec -- It's so nice to be insane, nobody asks you to explain.

So this would help you: Yes, it's in index. Also, it's bound to G by default, not ^g... not sure if your problem is related to trying to redefine the wrong thing or if you just typoed. -- Jeremy Blosser | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://jblosser.firinn.org/ -+-+-- "If Microsoft can change and compete on quality, I've won." -- L.
