Hello,
because of reading email with mutt for a long time, I've traditionally
kept mail for each addressee in a separate folder. For work mail
(e.g. foo....@work.com) I save to =work/foo.bar. Problem is, there's
quite a few of these work addresses, and I have to add each one
manually to my save_hook file. Is there a way to use patters to
achieve this automatically? Here's roughly what I would write it in
regexp language:
fcc-save-hook "([a-z\.]+)@work.com" "=work/\1"
That syntax probably doesn't fly with mutt (or does it), but you
probably get the idea. I'd like to match the part before @ and use
that after =work/.
Could I achieve this by somehow changing the "default base folder"
where mutt saves email? Any other tricks to make this work? If it
won't work like this I'll consider an automatic script which writes a
full list of fcc-save-hooks based on our ldap server entries.
*Sigh* Perhaps it's time to switch to more generic mailboxes ("=work",
"=friends") and use limits to filter by user. Webmail, phone email
and others all seem to dislike my 300+ imap folders. Mutt is one of
the only mail clients which handles this well.
Kind regards,
Hein Zelle
