Sorry! No problem. Seeing your macros will a source of inspiraiton so thanks for that! Sébastien.

More or less: For three of my accounts, there is only a single address, but for the fourth account, I have five additional files to use in my macros. > I think what I described in the first e-mail would allow you to have > only one file per account and to not repeat the line, no?

Re: Re: Re: Loading several intialisation files at startup
Jan, I think I got it. Am I correct that, for each account, you have actually two files: one that you use in your alias and one that you use in your macro. Is that right? I think what I described in the first e-mail would allow you to have only one file per account and to not repeat the line, no? Cheers, Sébastien.

Not really, because I only re-set a few parameters interactively (i.e. I do not source a complete account configuration, but an address configuration): macro generic \e1 ":source ~/.mutt/default_address.cf\r" # default_address.cf set my_address = "x...@eden.one" set my_pgp_key = '257A9B6F3DEDCA11319000877CD4656792A3A1F4' source '~/.mutt/set_address.cf' # set_address.cf set from=$my_address set pgp_default_key = $my_pgp_key set status_format="-%r $my_address: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)-%>-(%P)---" unmy_hdr * my_hdr Bcc: $my_address Each macro sources only six lines of configuration. To use a different account, I restart mutt (or rather, I have four terminal tabs running mutt for different accounts). - Jan signature.asc Description: PGP signature

But then, am I correct that each of your account.cf file needs to source the main configuration file to get the default values in? Precisely, it's the repetition of this line that I wanted to avoid.

I defined aliases for my accounts in .zshrc, because I do not mind restarting mutt when switching to a different account: alias m1='cd ~/Downloads && /opt/homebrew/bin/mutt -F ~/.mutt/account1.cf && cd' alias m2='cd ~/Downloads && /opt/homebrew/bin/mutt -F ~/.mutt/account2.cf && cd' For switching e-mail addresses, PGP keys etc within an account, I adopted a suggestion by Cos: http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-users/Week-of-Mon-20220905/003863.html I also bind the source commands used in the solution above to message-hooks: message-hook '~C ^a...@eden.one$' 'source ~/.mutt/default.cf' message-hook '~C ^x...@eden.one$' 'source ~/.mutt/alternative_address1.cf' - Jan signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hello, Many thanks for your reponse! Cameron Simpson (2022/09/15 08:27 +1000): > I thought the common approach was what you next outline: a single muttrc > which sources the appropriate account-specific muttrc. [...] For files that define different thisgs yes, that works. But for accounts, which have different values for the smae variables, I think you don't want to include all them simultaneously, because then the last one would win, but you want to source exactly one of them. And then if you wnat to change accout without leaving mutt you just source another one... Do I make sense? Sébastien.
