You can, indirectly, by writing a script that does it, and using pipe to call the script. It might be easier to use ignore/unignore to only show the headers you care about, if it's always the same specific set. If there are different sets you care about in different situations, you could even do something crazy like define (only) those in different .muttrc files, and then define macros to load the different files... -- Derek D.

Re: How can I hide non-matching emails in a search
Hi, What about the ”limiting" function using `l` ? It's similar to search but only matching emails will still visible. 1. Hit 'l' 2. The limiting pronpt shows up. 3. Enter 'IO Ninja' 4. Enter 5. mutt only show up matching emails 6. You can't use 'n' or 'N' but 'j' and 'k'. Does it satisfy your use case ? ache Le Wed, Sep 15, 2021 at 04:05:56PM -0700, li...@ifohancroft.com a écrit : > Hi, > > I'd like to make mutt hide the emails not matching the entered search term. > > Let's say I want to search for emails that have 'IO Ninja' in the subject: > > 1.

Re: How can I hide non-matching emails in a search
Sorry, I accidentally resend the email, before adding my reply. What about the ”limiting" function using `l` ? It's similar to search but only matching emails will still visible. 1. Hit 'l' 2. The limiting pronpt shows up. 3. Enter 'IO Ninja' 4. Enter 5. mutt only show up matching emails 6. You can't use 'n' or 'N' but 'j' and 'k'. Does it satisfy your use case ? Thank you! That satisfies my use case perfectly. I just never knew it existed. It's a bit unfortunate, that I can't use 'n' and 'N' with it really, but seeing how there's no other option, I can live with that.
