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

Good, but maybe you should try an editor which supports automatic line wrapping ;-) - Let's say I delete all messages in a folder by pressing 'd'. Then I go to Undelete them.

Am I missing something? You have to (re-)bind your key settings. I have bind index left previous-entry bind index right next-entry in my .muttrc. There is probably a default binding for that, but I don't know it, sorry. max -- -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s: a--- C++ UL+++ P+ L+++ E--- W+ N++ o++ K- w-- O- M-- V- PS+++ PE-- Y+ PGP++ t--- 5-- X+ R- tv+ b++ DI- D++ G++ e h! r y+ --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- msg27950/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Good news. - 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? You need to bind something to next-entry and previous-entry. By default, up and down are bound to next-undeleted and previous-undeleted. This is what I have: # vi-like keys bind index j next-undeleted bind index J next-entry bind index k previous-undeleted bind index K previous-entry (These may actually be the defaults, so try them out before you rebind your keys.) - 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. mutt -f +mailboxname (darren) -- Intolerance is the last defense of the insecure.

I have a few questions that I could use some help with though. ok. - 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? Well, let's say you've deleted messages 18 through 37, but want to undelete 24-31. Simply press 24ENTER which will place you on msg 24. u for undelete will undelete #24 and put you on msg #25, u for undelete... - 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. set folder=~/Mail # directory with all mail folders set spoolfile=+INBOX# the + is shorthand for $folder That's how I do it.
