muttjump [1] claims to be able to solve this problem but I did not tested it.
I'm usually totally fine with the feature of getting the whole thread of
a message (-r thread parameter for notmuch-mutti [2])
macro index,pager ,t \
"set my_old_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode my_old_wait_key=\$wait_key
nopipe_decode nowait_key\
notmuch-mutt -r thread\
`echo
${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/notmuch/mutt/results`\
set pipe_decode=\$my_old_pipe_decode
wait_key=\$my_old_wait_key" \
"notmuch: reconstruct thread"

The group-alternatives binding for the componse menu (where you press 's' to send) combines selected attachments into a multipart/alternative group.

I thinks is would allow a lot of other feature too. I don't know offhand how you would generate the content. MIME is not that hard to write if you know the structure, but I don't know a tool off the top of my head that will generate it for you. Since I would like to add more than just a html alternative based on markdown (e.g. semantic annotation of parts of the message) - I will not use a ready tool but a library. I've experimented with the Swift Mailer PHP Library and its easy enough to use to have fast results. However, if you have one: a trick I have used for things of this flavor is to: * postpone the message * open your postponed folder as a regular mutt mailbox * find the postponed message * edit the raw mesage * save * sync * go back to your regular mutt session * recall the postponed message * finish and send Do you think this can be encoded in a macro?

create multipart/alternative
Hi mutt users, is it possible to create mulitpart/alternative message parts in the compose screen? I need to write text/html mails (please don't ask ...) as multipart/alternative. My idea is to write markdown with vim and then convert it to text/html and add it to the message. Currently I'm using this macro for this: macro compose 'escM' pipe-messagecat ~/.cache/mutt/md2html.md cat ~/.cache/mutt/md2html.md | markdown ~/.cache/mutt/md2html.htmlenterattach-file~/.cache/mutt/md2html.htmlenter It works fine but the html part is not included as an alternative part for the text/plain part. There exists some post send filter to achieve this but they do not work in combination with encryption (and I do not have the sent copy in my archive) Another idea: Is it possible to put the complete message to a tool from the compose screen (which can parse and change it completely) and re-read it afterwards?

using a file selection command
Hi there, instead of using the file browser of mutt to select an attachment, I want to start a specific script / application which returns the file I want to attach. more concrete: I want to select one of the most recent edited documents from the desktop index so I do not need to remember where the file is and to browse through many dir levels.

The mutt integration is very similar to what you'd do with mairix or mu. A couple of bindings that just run the command line 'notmuch' program with your search terms following. You do need to do a bit of command line piping to turn the filenames that notmuch outputs as search results into symbolic links. Then you jump to a maildir with the results. Though you can run it directly like this, I wrote a little python script that I call instead which gives me readline search history and cleans out the search results automatically when I make a new search.

I have a question regarding macros in mutt. Currently I use these two

Is searching / indexing with mairix state of the art or is there a
better solution available? I am quite happy with that, just wanted to

I use the following shell script for interactive mairix search
from within mutt; it also makes a rudimentary attempt to search
using a fallback charset for non-ascii strings.
#!/bin/sh
threads=
augment=
charset=`printf '%s' $LANG | cut -d . -f 2`
fallback=windows-1252
yorn() {
local ans
printf '%s %s ' $1 (yes/[no])
read -e ans
case $ans in
y*|Y*) return 0;;
*) return 1;;
esac
}
printf '%s\n' Enter mairix query:
read -e query
test -z $query exit 0
yorn Retrieve thread(s)? threads=--threads
yorn Append message(s) to mfolder? augment=--augment
query=`echo $query | iconv -f $charset -t UTF-8`
mairix $threads $augment $query
queryx=`echo $query | iconv -f $charset -t $fallback`
if [ $queryx != $query ]; then
echo trying $fallback
mairix $threads --augment $queryx
