  62 Mutt also supports a <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">batch</span>”</span> mode to send prepared
  63 messages.  Simply redirect input from the file you wish to send.  For
  64 example,
  65 </p><pre class="screen">
  66 mutt -s "data set for run #2" professor@bigschool.edu &lt; ~/run2.dat</pre><p>
  67 will send a message to

  69 <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">data set for run #2</span>”</span>.  In the body of the message will be
  70 the contents of the file <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">~/run2.dat</span>”</span>.
  71 </p><p>
  72 All files passed with <code class="literal">-a</code> <span class="emphasis"><em>file</em></span>
  73 will be attached as a MIME part to the message. To attach a single or

  75 addresses:
  76 </p><pre class="screen">

 593 This variable specifies the file where the certificates you trust

1531 This variable contains the path to the Mixmaster binary on your
1532 system.  It is used with various sets of parameters to gather the

1553 This variable specifies which pager you would like to use to view
1554 messages. The value <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">builtin</span>”</span> means to use the built-in pager, otherwise this
1555 variable should specify the pathname of the external pager you would
1556 like to use.
1557 </p><p>
1558 Using an external pager may have some disadvantages: Additional
1559 keystrokes are necessary because you can't call mutt functions
1560 directly from the pager, and screen resizes cause lines longer than
1561 the screen width to be badly formatted in the help menu.

1564 This variable controls the number of lines of context that are given
1565 when displaying the next or previous page in the internal pager.  By
1566 default, Mutt will display the line after the last one on the screen
1567 at the top of the next page (0 lines of context).
1568 </p><p>
1569 This variable also specifies the amount of context given for search
1570 results. If positive, this many lines will be given before a match,
1571 if 0, the match will be top-aligned.

1575 displayed before each message in either the internal or an external
1576 pager.  The valid sequences are listed in the <a class="link" href="reference.html#index-format" title="3.114. index_format">$index_format</a>

1580 Determines the number of lines of a mini-index which is shown when in
1581 the pager.  The current message, unless near the top or bottom of the
1582 folder, will be roughly one third of the way down this mini-index,
1583 giving the reader the context of a few messages before and after the
1584 message.  This is useful, for example, to determine how many messages
1585 remain to be read in the current thread.  One of the lines is reserved
1586 for the status bar from the index, so a setting of 6
1587 will only show 5 lines of the actual index.  A value of 0 results in
1588 no index being shown.  If the number of messages in the current folder
1589 is less than <a class="link" href="reference.html#pager-index-lines" title="3.152. pager_index_lines">$pager_index_lines</a>, then the index will only use as
1590 many lines as it needs.

1593 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, the internal-pager will <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span> move to the next message
1594 when you are at the end of a message and invoke the <code class="literal">&lt;next-page&gt;</code>

1598 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will automatically attempt to decrypt traditional PGP
1599 messages whenever the user performs an operation which ordinarily would
1600 result in the contents of the message being operated on.  For example,
1601 if the user displays a pgp-traditional message which has not been manually
1602 checked with the <code class="literal"><a class="link" href="gettingstarted.html#check-traditional-pgp">&lt;check-traditional-pgp&gt;</a></code> function, mutt will automatically
1603 check the message for traditional pgp.

1605 Default: no</p></div><p>
1606 This option controls whether Mutt generates old-style inline
1607 (traditional) PGP encrypted or signed messages under certain
1608 circumstances.  This can be overridden by use of the pgp menu,
1609 when inline is not required.
1610 </p><p>
1611 Note that Mutt might automatically use PGP/MIME for messages
1612 which consist of more than a single MIME part.  Mutt can be
1613 configured to ask before sending PGP/MIME messages when inline
1614 (traditional) would not work.

2535 When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted
2536 in relation to other threads, and how the branches of the thread trees
2537 are sorted.  This can be set to any value that <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort" title="3.264. sort">$sort</a> can, except
2538 <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">threads</span>”</span> (in that case, mutt will just use <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">date-sent</span>”</span>).  You can also
2539 specify the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">last-</span>”</span> prefix in addition to the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">reverse-</span>”</span> prefix, but <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">last-</span>”</span>
2540 must come after <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">reverse-</span>”</span>.  The <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">last-</span>”</span> prefix causes messages to be
2541 sorted against its siblings by which has the last descendant, using
2542 the rest of <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort-aux" title="3.266. sort_aux">$sort_aux</a> as an ordering.  For instance,
2543
2544 </p><pre class="screen">
2545 set sort_aux=last-date-received
2546 </pre><p>
2547 would mean that if a new message is received in a

2580 previous matches value for the spam label. If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, each successive

2695 * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
2696 </p><p>
2697 Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string
2698 if their value is nonzero.  For example, you may only want to see the
2699 number of flagged messages if such messages exist, since zero is not
2700 particularly meaningful.  To optionally print a string based upon one
2701 of the above sequences, the following construct is used:
2702 </p><p>
2703 <code class="literal">%?&lt;sequence_char&gt;?&lt;optional_string&gt;?</code>
2704 </p><p>
2705 where <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is a character from the table above, and
2706 <span class="emphasis"><em>optional_string</em></span> is the string you would like printed if
2707 <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is nonzero.  <span class="emphasis"><em>optional_string</em></span> <span class="bold"><strong>may</strong></span> contain
2708 other sequences as well as normal text, but you may <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span> nest
2709 optional strings.
2710 </p><p>
2711 Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of
2712 new messages in a mailbox:
2713 </p><p>
2714 <code class="literal">%?n?%n new messages.?</code>
2715 </p><p>
2716 You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
2717 </p><p>
2718 <code class="literal">%?&lt;sequence_char&gt;?&lt;if_string&gt;&amp;&lt;else_string&gt;?</code>
2719 </p><p>
2720 If the value of <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is non-zero, <span class="emphasis"><em>if_string</em></span> will
2721 be expanded, otherwise <span class="emphasis"><em>else_string</em></span> will be expanded.
2722 </p><p>
2723 You can force the result of any <code class="literal">printf(3)</code>-like sequence to be lowercase
2724 by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">_</span>”</span>) sign.
2725 For example, if you want to display the local hostname in lowercase,
2726 you would use: <span class="quote">“<span class="quote"><code class="literal">%_h</code></span>”</span>.
2727 </p><p>
2728 If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">:</span>”</span>) character, mutt
2729 will replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful
2730 with IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.
