And very nearly right. here is what I have now:
# This makes mutt behave a little more like some imap clients by
# moving messages to the Trash folder when they are deleted. Once
# in the Trash folder, D will purge the trash folder, and d will
# delete one at a time. Unfortunately, the delete-pattern macro
# doesn't save to Trash, so be warned.
folder-hook . 'macro index D "<delete-pattern>"'
folder-hook . 'macro index d "<save-message>=Trash<enter>"'
folder-hook . 'macro pager d "<save-message>=Trash<enter>"'
folder-hook =Trash 'macro index D "<delete-pattern>~A\n"'
folder-hook =Trash 'macro index d "<delete-message>"'
folder-hook =Trash 'macro pager d "<delete-message>"'
Notice the single quotes enclosing the hooks entire function? It
doesn't seem to work quite right without them. With this, D is just a
delete-pattern by default, but in the Trash folder, it just whacks
everything off - this was the desired behavior. As for d, same thing,
but only on a single message. I'd also rather find a way to effectively
'save-pattern' or 'save-thread' so that I can extend this behavior to
the delete-pattern and delete-thread behaviors. Maybe next release? :)
Thanks for your help everyone!
