Speaking about Mutt's macro, I forgot (in previous email) to
mention another useful macro I added in Mutt: alt-f (filter).
It shows on the Mutt's bottom this (provvisory) menu:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Filter b)ody h)eaders s)ubject k)ripted m)ailing-lists
-----------------------------------------------------------
After that, it query the user about the pattern to seach.
In the case k) and m) no pattern is required: all messages
that belongs some mailing-list are selected, etc.
You say: "But Mutt does searching with own built-in functions!"
Ok, but what mutt does? It only point on the first email that
match the query. This is a such primordial think!
My macro is much smart compared to; it create on-the-file a
new mailbox with EVERY messages matching the query and, finally,
it fork and starts a new instance of mutt over the new temporary
mailbox. This is a DB "view", in the SQL sense.
With this feature, Mutt is close ... is close ... is close ...
(sacrilege!) to OutLook Express.
If you still refuse to appreciate also this macro, I will stop
to implement other macros for the muLinux's Mutt, soon; and, as
ultimate macro, I will develope one that take an integer number
in input, to simulate the OutLook's multiple-explosive-reply
feature.
P.S. 1
Is "mutt" some german word, of course? The genial author, Michael Elkins,
is from Germany, if I get not wrong. The main archive is
here: ftp://ftp.guug.de/mutt.
P.S. 2
PS1 proof that I'm danish.
