colorize a word
Hello,
how do I instruct mutt to colourize only a certain word in the header
of a message? I'd like to make for instance the word From: appear
in red, while the text following it in default, i.e. no colour.
Until now I've failed because mutt always coloured the whole line
upon a successful match. But then again I'm pretty sure that it was
only my not supplying the right expressions ...

Great; I've found it. Would you please tell me how to apply it?
I've installed mutt from a .deb, so I'll have to go get the source,
right?

Maybe having a look at the archives first? We just had this discussion this week. And the answer is: it isn't possible. Allthough, there's a patch available which will do just this. It's all in the archive. Cheers, Rocco.

deleting messages and default folders
Hello Mutters, My switch from Pine to Mutt is going pretty well so far. I have a few questions that I could use some help with though. - Let's say I delete all messages in a folder by pressing 'd'. Then I go to Undelete them. I can't seem to figure out how to go up to select those deleted messages. The cursor only highlights undeleted messages. I can use 'U' to undelete via a pattern, but I'd rather not have to do that. Am I missing something? - Also, is there a way to have mutt open in a file folder other than your spoolfile? My spoolfile isn't my primary mailbox, and I'd rather have Mutt open my primary by default. Thanks in advance, Mike Arrison

You need to bind something to next-entry and previous-entry. By default, up and down are bound to next-undeleted and previous-undeleted.

Putting finishing touches on mutt
Ok, thank you all for answering my stupid and completely irrelevant questions, I got things work out just fine. Now mutt needs only a fine tuning. First of all, is it anyway possible to put mutt not to show =-sign in front of the folder name in the list? Or how to make mutt to show the number of messages and unread messages in the folder list? I know how to make it show the N-flag if there are new messages but how to make it show, how many? At least man pages or manual didn't give this option. And to write something completely irrelevant to this message and to annoy some people: Finland beat up USA in ice hockey! Eat dirt, America! No offense. Really. Just couldn't resist the temptation to write that. :-) --- Interesting. The pallo is pyöreä. Hmm... I wonder how I could have random taglines in mutt... Perhaps a little program that changes the .signature file..? Any ideas? I want similar kind of random tags that were used when bbs-system were alive and well not so long time ago.
RE: .muttrc config help.
hi, I have lost my .muttrc config file. there is a couple of variables which I am having trouble resetting in my new file. to view my mail box I have to type mutt -f ~/Maildir what variables do I have to set to make this happen in my .muttrc file ?? also my mail server is, mail.mydomain.co.uk so mail I send comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] how do I set it to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pretty simple I know but I have not got a reference point.

IMAP/SSL
Hi, I'm using mutt version 1.3.99 compiled with ssl and imap support. I connect a remote imap server and everything is fine except that if I write long mailtext and send it to the server it tries to store the mail in the sent-mail folder. Then it happens that mutt hangs. Does anyone else has this problem ?? Any idea ? Regards Micha
