 .. I want fcc set to the mbox folder where

 It's a big PITA for dozens of folders, created by procmail.
 I would have thought for procmail to be in
 very common use with people who use mutt.
 It requires a folder-hook for each list - blerrg.

mutt is no replacement for procmail.
if your problem is with procmail
then you should be posting elsewhere.

there's fcc-hook and fcc-save-hook and with header editing
you can also use your editor's feature to adjust the Fcc.
have you tried these?

besides, when you have set save_name then mails
sent to listname@domain get saved in +listname.
and if you need a different name for +listname,
well, there's ln -s to create symlinks!

 I take it that the outgoing email doesn't actually get a fcc: header,

set copy and bingo - Fcc gets set!

Don't you think it is a common sense to save a copy of outgoing message
to the *same* folder as you are reading from?

If that is so, I think we should make it easier to do this.

Another common need of saving a copy is to save all of them in a
single Outbox folder, which mutt is already capable of doing.

Cheers.

Alas! Jun Sun spake thus:

Not really, too much clutter. I prefer to have a special sent messages
folder.

 If that is so, I think we should make it easier to do this.

It's already pretty easy. Make a script something like this:

#!/bin/bash
for i in ~/mail/*
do=20
i=3D$(basename $i)
echo folder-hook =3D$i \set record=3D\'=3D$i\'\
done

then simply source the output of this script. It might even be simpler
than that, though ;)

No, not really. Why should I do this? Unless there's something important
in a folder I delete everything if I leave it. Otherwise I would get eye
cancer with my color settings. ;-)

If I - at any later point - need a thread for reference, I have backup
files named by date. 'cat'ing together, if necessary.

Cheers, Rocco.

Not really, actually; perhaps for personal communication but definitely
not for lists, where I get a copy of my own message back (because I want
to get it like and when everyone else does even when I have the option of
turning off metoo).  But you asked how to do it and so I told you :-)

% If that is so, I think we should make it easier to do this.

Even if it isn't so, I don't mind making it easier; I've been a fan of
the current_shortcut patch since its initial release.

Another thing I don't do, but which I recognize others might :-)
