I haven't checked it, but it can probably be considered valid until disproven rather than the other way around... $save_name doesn't determine the target (as I desired to do uniformly with my macro) -- $save_name allows the target to be defined as the sender of the selected message. If a mailbox with that name exists, the message is saved to that mailbox. If no such mailbox exists, the message is saved to $record. Why would I want to save incoming mail to $record, which holds my outgoing mail? What bearing would this have on my question, which was preventing the unhelpful default of save-to-sender from interfering with my predetermined mailbox path? $save_name is a boolean, defaulting to no. I just checked it both ways in 1.3.28, with and without a $record variable, and four-for-four, saving an incoming message defaults to the sender of the currently selected message. I believe you were misinformed about $save_name operating on incoming mail, and the docs are correct. -nat

disabling save-to-username default
I'm trying to write a simple shortcut to save tagged messages to a specific file. It looks like this: macro index S ;s righthere.mbox Save to this here mailbox and doesn't work, because mutt prepends the selected message's author's username to the save path. I'd appreciate suggestions for overriding this username default for the macro, or disabling it altogether. Thanks. -nat

You could either turn off $save_name, but have to remember to turn it back on, but have to figure out whether or not it was really on before in case it wasn't and you shouldn't, or you could just clear the line in your macro. I believe if you insert a ctrl-u before specifying the mailbox name you'll get what you want. Or you can just eliminate the space in your macro. Either of these will work: macro index S ;srighthere.mbox Save to this here mailbox macro index S ;save-messagerighthere.mbox Save to this here mailbox I don't know why the space does that, but it's nice to know that it does. I'll be using that feature a lot from now on. I had been appending to the suggested mailbox name by first backspacing over the last character, then replacing it.

I haven't tried it, though, so I can't say for sure. Perhaps mbox-hook would be a better way to approach it -- if, of course, Gary hadn't helped us out!
