Re: German umlauts and alternates in Mutt.
I can only answer number 2, but alternates is a regular expression, so you have to do like ([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]) to get it to recognize two addresses. If you're being strict in your regular expression pattern, you will want to put a ^ before the ( and a $ after the ), so that the addresses are matched exactly. Hope this helps. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, Jan 18, 2001 at 09:27:41PM +0100, Jens Paulus wrote: Hi there, I have two questions. 1.)

Default mailbox display?
Hey gang, Sorry to bug *. I have a question that has long plagued me with using Mutt. I've always had to have everything come to one mailbox, and then simply leave everything in one huge archive. I have procmail setup, and that's great, but I hate having to change into the mailboxes to see if there is anything new in those mailboxes. One thing that I think would help not only me, but tons of others is something like this: mailbox 1 3 new messages mailbox 2 12 new messages mailbox 3 8 new messages Where you had the "status bar" that you could move up and down between mailboxes... and then you would get into the messages of that mailbox. I'd also think it would be cool to have some sort of key binding that would allow you to get back out to the main mailbox once deep in another mailbox so you wouldn't have to quit. Anyhoo... Sorry I'm such a lamer, especially if this is something easy to fix. If someone has the time, and can provide a .muttrc to accomplish this, or better still, what I need to toss into my .muttrc, I would be forever in your debt. :) Yours, Trae -- Trae McCombs | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community Evangelist 1 888 546 8948 ext. 76900 Founder: Themes.org -- Linux.com http://octobrx.com/ -- Personal page
