Can I have a default save folder for attachments?
Hello, When I press 's' on an attachment to save it, it wants to save it in the home directory. Is it possible to have a default attachments folder set up that attachments automatically get saved to or at least have the suggested file name prefixed with the /path/to/attachments/directory/ ? Thanks! -- Jason
Re: default save folder
Vielen Dank, Michael! That worked. Regarding the famous TFM: I am not a native English speaker and sometimes it is damn difficult to find out what keyword you have to look for. save_hook would have been the very last thing I could possibly have thought of In any case, thanks... I was fed up of giving the whole path everytime I had to save an attachment!

I know the dev manual is a work in progress, but I like it a lot more than the normal user manual I was referencing a year ago. Course I'm also using the 1.5 series (which seems pretty stable despite not being an odd release, maybe this is just part of the less-suckiness of mutt?). http://www.mutt.org/doc/devel/manual.html

default save folder
Hello, is it possible to tell mutt where to save things such as attachments? I would like to define a folder and tell mutt to automatically prompt me to that folder everytime I want to save something. The same for the addresses. Everytime I define a new alias, I would like that mutt knows where all addresses are. How can I predefine that file in muttrc? Thanks Pau

default save folder
Hey people, What's the best way to handle setting the default save folder dynamically, based on the email address of the sender, or perhaps the subject of the email? I'm assuming a hook of some kind, but I don't know the syntax offhand to pull out the desired information from the message. Thanks, Mike -- Michael P.

I'm assuming a hook of some kind, but I don't know the syntax offhand to pull out the desired information from the message. The hook to use is the save-hook unless you also want to save copies of outbound messages to the same folders based on the same criteria, in which case you should use the fcc-save-hook instead. Here are some examples from my .muttrc. save-hook '~f bcringely' +Lists/cringely save-hook '~f @comsoc.org'+comsoc save-hook '~s linux today'+Lists/linuxtoday Read the manual sections: 3.14. Specify default save filename 3.16. Specify default save filename and default Fcc: mailbox at once 4.2. Patterns Mutt searches the hook patterns for a match in the same order that the hooks appear in your .muttrc and stops at the first match, so it is important to put specific patterns before more general patterns.

You can also simply tag all the messages that you want to save, then save them using a grouped command, and they will all be saved to the single folder that you specify. Use the tag-prefix (default ";") before the save command, to specify saving all tagged messages. -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.

default save folder
Hi all, Just something I did not find in the manual (may be too tired tonight) I used to have mbox-hooks in my .muttrc for mailing lists, and it worked perfectly. But I stopped to use it, because if I want to follow a thread, I dont want undeleted messages to be saved in an archive folder immediately (and automagically), in order to wait for other related messages. Once I consider the given thread is complete (for me at least), I want to save one or more messages. So far, so good. Of course, each time I press 's', I have to give the name of the folder I want to save to. So my question is : is there a way to give (in a folder-hook may be) a default name for the archive folder ? This might not be the Right Way (tm) to read and follow ml messages... Just tell me... BTW, I know I could do this with a macro, just curious about another (and easier) way Thanks -- JcB, Jean-Charles Bagneris, Montpellier, France
