Thanks... Here's a thought. Have you looked into the Little Brother's Database? It's a really neat tool for accessing a collection of various address databases from one interface. You could use the m_muttalias and m_ldap modules to query both your mutt aliases file and your LDAP server. Then you could either let mutt display all the addresses found, as it usually does, or you could define mutt's query_command like this: set query_command=lbdbq '%s' | sed '3,\$d' and select only the first result returned by lbdbq. You can configure lbdbq so that the first result is the one from your mutt aliases file. And of course the solution using sed assumes that you always want the first result and it won't even show you multiple matches, but maybe you can tune this to get what you want in your situation.

Filtering a message from the index
Hello mutt experts, From the index, how can I filter a message through a shell/perl/etc. script, so that the modified message actually *replaces* the original in the mail folder? This is sort of like edit, where a copy of the message is loaded into the $editor, the orignal is marked for deletion, and the new message is appended to the mail folder. This seems like a feature that would be requested/used frequently, but I can't find any mention of it in the mutt manual. Note that pipe-message isn't what I'm looking for, since the output of the pipe does not replace the original message. The best that I've come up with so far is to change the $editor to the filtering command, edit the file, and then reset the $editor to its original value: macro index F ':set editor=mailformat -m -t -s -c -q -ireturne:set editor=vireturn' but this is obviously a hack and I'm betting there is a better solution. Thanks, Steve

Mutt shall not become a replacment for procmail. but of course you can pipe a message to a script which makes changes to the copy and hands it over to sendmail which will hand it over to the MDA and over to the filter will will store it in the same folder. and then you can delete the original. the script is up to you, of course.

wrong threading with both 'In-Reply-To' and 'References'
I just upgraded from mutt 0.89 (yes, a little bit dusty :-) ) to 1.3.28 and found a threading bug: I have a colleague who is using zmail, which generates both: 'In-Reply-To' and 'References' header. Mutt sorts mails from this MUA in a wrong way, I see threads of mails which has nothing to do with each other. A typical zmail header (cutout) looks like this: In-Reply-To: Ulli Horlacher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Re: ssh und zlib (Mar 12, 13:56) References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailer: Z-Mail (5.0.0 30July97) This looks weired, but is correct for RFC822. I assume mutt (mis)interprets the mail-address in the In-Reply-To header as a MID. I could set up a procmail rule like: :0 f * ^References: * ^In-Reply-To: [^] | formail -R In-Reply-To X-In-Reply-To But this does not help me with the zillions of old mails I have in my LOT of mailbox files.
