46 ## *** DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR THE ATTACHMENTS PATCH ***
50 ## Please see the manual (section "attachments") for detailed
51 ## documentation of the "attachments" command.
53 ## Removing a pattern from a list removes that pattern literally. It
54 ## does not remove any type matching the pattern.
56 ## attachments +A */.*
57 ## attachments +A image/jpeg
58 ## unattachments +A */.*
60 ## This leaves "attached" image/jpeg files on the allowed attachments
61 ## list. It does not remove all items, as you might expect, because the
62 ## second */.* is not a matching expression at this time.
64 ## Remember: "unattachments" only undoes what "attachments" has done!
65 ## It does not trigger any matching on actual messages.
67 ## Qualify any MIME part with an "attachment" disposition, EXCEPT for
68 ## text/x-vcard and application/pgp parts. (PGP parts are already known
69 ## to mutt, and can be searched for with ~g, ~G, and ~k.)
71 ## I've added x-pkcs7 to this, since it functions (for S/MIME)
72 ## analogously to PGP signature attachments. S/MIME isn't supported
73 ## in a stock mutt build, but we can still treat it specially here.
76 attachments -A text/x-vcard application/pgp.*
77 attachments -A application/x-pkcs7-.*
79 ## Discount all MIME parts with an "inline" disposition, unless they're
80 ## text/plain. (Why inline a text/plain part unless it's external to the
83 attachments +I text/plain
85 ## These two lines make Mutt qualify MIME containers. (So, for example,
86 ## a message/rfc822 forward will count as an attachment.) The first
87 ## line is unnecessary if you already have "attach-allow */.*", of
88 ## course. These are off by default! The MIME elements contained
89 ## within a message/* or multipart/* are still examined, even if the
90 ## containers themseves don't qualify.
92 #attachments +A message/.* multipart/.*
93 #attachments +I message/.* multipart/.*
95 ## You probably don't really care to know about deleted attachments.

448 # When this variable is set, mutt will use file size attribute instead of
449 # access time when checking for new mail in mbox and mmdf folders.
451 # This variable is unset by default and should only be enabled when

1013 # forwarding a message. The message header is also RFC2047 decoded.
1014 # This variable is only used, if $mime_forward is unset,
1015 # otherwise $mime_forward_decode is used instead.
1018 # set forward_edit=yes
1020 # Name: forward_edit
1025 # This quadoption controls whether or not the user is automatically
1026 # placed in the editor when forwarding messages. For those who always want
1027 # to forward with no modification, use a setting of ``no''.
1030 # set forward_format="[%a: %s]"
1032 # Name: forward_format
1034 # Default: "[%a: %s]"
1037 # This variable controls the default subject when forwarding a message.
1038 # It uses the same format sequences as the $index_format variable.
1041 # set forward_quote=no
1043 # Name: forward_quote
1048 # When set, forwarded messages included in the main body of the
1049 # message (when $mime_forward is unset) will be quoted using
1056 # Type: e-mail address
1060 # When set, this variable contains a default from address. It
1061 # can be overridden using ``my_hdr'' (including from a ``send-hook'') and
1062 # $reverse_name. This variable is ignored if $use_from is unset.
1064 # This setting defaults to the contents of the environment variable $EMAIL.
1067 # set gecos_mask="^[^,]*"
1070 # Type: regular expression
1074 # A regular expression used by mutt to parse the GECOS field of a password
1075 # entry when expanding the alias. The default value
1076 # will return the string up to the first ``,'' encountered.
1077 # If the GECOS field contains a string like ``lastname, firstname'' then you
1078 # should set it to ``.*''.
1080 # This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address a e-mail
1081 # to user ID ``stevef'' whose full name is ``Steve Franklin''. If mutt expands
1082 # ``stevef'' to ``"Franklin" stevef@foo.bar'' then you should set the $gecos_mask to
1083 # a regular expression that will match the whole name so mutt will expand
1084 # ``Franklin'' to ``Franklin, Steve''.
1094 # When unset, the header fields normally added by the ``my_hdr''
1095 # command are not created. This variable must be unset before
1096 # composing a new message or replying in order to take effect. If set,
1097 # the user defined header fields are added to every new message.
1107 # When set, this variable causes Mutt to include the header
1108 # of the message you are replying to into the edit buffer.
1109 # The $weed setting applies.
1119 # When set, help lines describing the bindings for the major functions
1120 # provided by each menu are displayed on the first line of the screen.
1122 # Note: The binding will not be displayed correctly if the
1123 # function is bound to a sequence rather than a single keystroke. Also,
1124 # the help line may not be updated if a binding is changed while Mutt is
1125 # running. Since this variable is primarily aimed at new users, neither
1126 # of these should present a major problem.
1129 # set hidden_host=no
1136 # When set, mutt will skip the host name part of $hostname variable
1137 # when adding the domain part to addresses. This variable does not
1138 # affect the generation of Message-IDs, and it will not lead to the
1139 # cut-off of first-level domains.

1224 # Name: honor_followup_to
1229 # This variable controls whether or not a Mail-Followup-To header is
1230 # honored when group-replying to a message.
1240 # Specifies the fully-qualified hostname of the system mutt is running on
1241 # containing the host's name and the DNS domain it belongs to. It is used
1242 # as the domain part (after ``@'') for local email addresses as well as
1243 # Message-Id headers.
1245 # Its value is determined at startup as follows: If the node's name
1246 # as returned by the uname(3) function contains the hostname and the
1247 # domain, these are used to construct $hostname. If there is no
1248 # domain part returned, Mutt will look for a ``domain'' or ``search''
1249 # line in /etc/resolv.conf to determine the domain. Optionally, Mutt
1250 # can be compiled with a fixed domain name in which case a detected

1360 # When set, mutt will attempt to use the IMAP IDLE extension
1361 # to check for new mail in the current mailbox. Some servers

1369 # Name: imap_keepalive
1374 # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt

1376 # from closing them before mutt has finished with them. The default is
1377 # well within the RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before
1378 # a server is allowed to do this, but in practice the RFC does get
1379 # violated every now and then. Reduce this number if you find yourself

1423 # set imap_passive=yes
1425 # Name: imap_passive
1430 # When set, mutt will not open new IMAP connections to check for new

1432 # connections. This is useful if you don't want to be prompted to
1433 # user/password pairs on mutt invocation, or if opening the connection
1444 # When set, mutt will avoid implicitly marking your mail as read whenever
1445 # you fetch a message from the server. This is generally a good thing,

1452 # Name: imap_pipeline_depth
1457 # Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they
1458 # are sent to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time
1459 # mutt must wait for the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much
1460 # more responsive. But not all servers correctly handle pipelined commands,

3952 # some heat from netiquette guardians.
3955 # set signature="~/.signature"
3959 # Default: "~/.signature"
3962 # Specifies the filename of your signature, which is appended to all
3963 # outgoing messages. If the filename ends with a pipe (``|''), it is
3964 # assumed that filename is a shell command and input should be read from
3965 # its standard output.
3968 # set simple_search="~f %s | ~s %s"
3970 # Name: simple_search
3972 # Default: "~f %s | ~s %s"
3975 # Specifies how Mutt should expand a simple search into a real search
3976 # pattern. A simple search is one that does not contain any of the ``~'' pattern
3977 # operators. See ``patterns'' for more information on search patterns.
3979 # For example, if you simply type ``joe'' at a search or limit prompt, Mutt
3980 # will automatically expand it to the value specified by this variable by
3981 # replacing ``%s'' with the supplied string.
3982 # For the default value, ``joe'' would be expanded to: ``~f joe | ~s joe''.
3985 # set smart_wrap=yes
3992 # Controls the display of lines longer than the screen width in the
3993 # internal pager. If set, long lines are wrapped at a word boundary. If
3994 # unset, lines are simply wrapped at the screen edge. Also see the
3995 # $markers variable.
3998 # set smileys="(>From )|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])"
4001 # Type: regular expression
4002 # Default: "(>From )|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])"
4005 # The pager uses this variable to catch some common false
4006 # positives of $quote_regexp, most notably smileys and not consider
4007 # a line quoted text if it also matches $smileys. This mostly
4008 # happens at the beginning of a line.
4018 # Specifies time, in seconds, to pause while displaying certain informational
4019 # messages, while moving from folder to folder and after expunging
4020 # messages from the current folder. The default is to pause one second, so
4021 # a value of zero for this option suppresses the pause.
4024 # set smtp_authenticators=""
4026 # Name: smtp_authenticators
4031 # This is a colon-delimited list of authentication methods mutt may
4032 # attempt to use to log in to an SMTP server, in the order mutt should
4033 # try them. Authentication methods are any SASL mechanism, eg
4034 # ``digest-md5'', ``gssapi'' or ``cram-md5''.
4035 # This option is case-insensitive. If it is ``unset''
4036 # (the default) mutt will try all available methods, in order from
4037 # most-secure to least-secure.
4040 # set smtp_authenticators="digest-md5:cram-md5"
4050 # Specifies the password for your SMTP account. If unset, Mutt will
4051 # prompt you for your password when you first send mail via SMTP.
4052 # See $smtp_url to configure mutt to send mail via SMTP.
4054 # Warning: you should only use this option when you are on a
4055 # fairly secure machine, because the superuser can read your muttrc even
4056 # if you are the only one who can read the file.
4066 # Defines the SMTP smarthost where sent messages should relayed for
4067 # delivery. This should take the form of an SMTP URL, eg:
4068 # smtp[s]://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/
4070 # ... where ``[...]'' denotes an optional part.
4071 # Setting this variable overrides the value of the $sendmail
4082 # Specifies how to sort messages in the ``index'' menu. Valid values
4084 # - date or date-sent
4087 # - mailbox-order (unsorted)
4096 # You may optionally use the ``reverse-'' prefix to specify reverse sorting
4097 # order (example: ``set sort=reverse-date-sent'').
4100 # set sort_alias=alias
4107 # Specifies how the entries in the ``alias'' menu are sorted. The
4108 # following are legal values:
4109 # - address (sort alphabetically by email address)
4110 # - alias (sort alphabetically by alias name)
4111 # - unsorted (leave in order specified in .muttrc)
4121 # When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted
4122 # in relation to other threads, and how the branches of the thread trees
4123 # are sorted. This can be set to any value that $sort can, except
4124 # ``threads'' (in that case, mutt will just use ``date-sent''). You can also
4125 # specify the ``last-'' prefix in addition to the ``reverse-'' prefix, but ``last-''
4126 # must come after ``reverse-''. The ``last-'' prefix causes messages to be
4127 # sorted against its siblings by which has the last descendant, using
4128 # the rest of $sort_aux as an ordering. For instance,
4129 # set sort_aux=last-date-received
4131 # would mean that if a new message is received in a
4132 # thread, that thread becomes the last one displayed (or the first, if
4133 # you have ``set sort=reverse-threads''.)
4135 # Note: For reversed $sort
4136 # order $sort_aux is reversed again (which is not the right thing to do,
4137 # but kept to not break any existing configuration setting).
4140 # set sort_browser=alpha
4142 # Name: sort_browser
4147 # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the
4148 # entries are sorted alphabetically. Valid values:
4149 # - alpha (alphabetically)
4155 # You may optionally use the ``reverse-'' prefix to specify reverse sorting
4156 # order (example: ``set sort_browser=reverse-date'').
4166 # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with
4167 # $strict_threads unset. In that case, it changes the heuristic
4168 # mutt uses to thread messages by subject. With $sort_re set, mutt will
4169 # only attach a message as the child of another message by subject if
4170 # the subject of the child message starts with a substring matching the
4171 # setting of $reply_regexp. With $sort_re unset, mutt will attach
4172 # the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the
4173 # non-$reply_regexp parts of both messages are identical.
4176 # set spam_separator=","
4178 # Name: spam_separator
4183 # This variable controls what happens when multiple spam headers
4184 # are matched: if unset, each successive header will overwrite any
4185 # previous matches value for the spam label. If set, each successive
4186 # match will append to the previous, using this variable's value as a
4197 # If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt cannot find
4198 # it, you can specify its location with this variable. Mutt will
4199 # automatically set this variable to the value of the environment
4200 # variable $MAIL if it is not set.
4203 # set status_chars="-*%A"
4205 # Name: status_chars
4210 # Controls the characters used by the ``%r'' indicator in
4211 # $status_format. The first character is used when the mailbox is
4212 # unchanged. The second is used when the mailbox has been changed, and
4213 # it needs to be resynchronized. The third is used if the mailbox is in
4214 # read-only mode, or if the mailbox will not be written when exiting
4215 # that mailbox (You can toggle whether to write changes to a mailbox
4216 # with the <toggle-write> operation, bound by default to ``%''). The fourth
4217 # is used to indicate that the current folder has been opened in attach-
4218 # message mode (Certain operations like composing a new mail, replying,
4219 # forwarding, etc. are not permitted in this mode).
4222 # set status_format="-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)-%>-(%P)---"
4224 # Name: status_format

4229 # Controls the format of the status line displayed in the ``index''
4230 # menu. This string is similar to $index_format, but has its own
4231 # set of printf(3)-like sequences:
4232 # %b number of mailboxes with new mail *
4233 # %d number of deleted messages *
4234 # %f the full pathname of the current mailbox
4235 # %F number of flagged messages *
4237 # %l size (in bytes) of the current mailbox *
4238 # %L size (in bytes) of the messages shown
4239 # (i.e., which match the current limit) *
4240 # %m the number of messages in the mailbox *
4241 # %M the number of messages shown (i.e., which match the current limit) *
4242 # %n number of new messages in the mailbox *
4243 # %o number of old unread messages *
4244 # %p number of postponed messages *
4245 # %P percentage of the way through the index

4256 # %*X soft-fill with character ``X'' as pad
4259 # For an explanation of ``soft-fill'', see the $index_format documentation.
4261 # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
4263 # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string
4264 # if their value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the
4265 # number of flagged messages if such messages exist, since zero is not
4266 # particularly meaningful. To optionally print a string based upon one
4267 # of the above sequences, the following construct is used:
4269 # %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
4271 # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and
4272 # optional_string is the string you would like printed if
4273 # sequence_char is nonzero. optional_string may contain
4274 # other sequences as well as normal text, but you may not nest
4277 # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of
4278 # new messages in a mailbox:
4280 # %?n?%n new messages.?
4282 # You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
4284 # %?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
4286 # If the value of sequence_char is non-zero, if_string will
4287 # be expanded, otherwise else_string will be expanded.
4289 # You can force the result of any printf(3)-like sequence to be lowercase
4290 # by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (``_'') sign.
4291 # For example, if you want to display the local hostname in lowercase,
4292 # you would use: ``%_h''.
4294 # If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (``:'') character, mutt
4295 # will replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful
4296 # with IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.
4299 # set status_on_top=no
4301 # Name: status_on_top
4306 # Setting this variable causes the ``status bar'' to be displayed on
4307 # the first line of the screen rather than near the bottom. If $help
4308 # is set, too it'll be placed at the bottom.
4311 # set strict_threads=no
4313 # Name: strict_threads
4318 # If set, threading will only make use of the ``In-Reply-To'' and
4319 # ``References:'' fields when you $sort by message threads. By
4320 # default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in
4321 # ``pseudo threads.''. This may not always be desirable, such as in a
4322 # personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with
4323 # the subjects like ``hi'' which will get grouped together. See also
4324 # $sort_re for a less drastic way of controlling this
4335 # When unset, mutt won't stop when the user presses the terminal's
4336 # susp key, usually ``^Z''. This is useful if you run mutt
4337 # inside an xterm using a command like ``xterm -e mutt''.
4340 # set text_flowed=no
4347 # When set, mutt will generate ``format=flowed'' bodies with a content type
4348 # of ``text/plain; format=flowed''.
4349 # This format is easier to handle for some mailing software, and generally
4350 # just looks like ordinary text. To actually make use of this format's
4351 # features, you'll need support in your editor.
4353 # Note that $indent_string is ignored when this option is set.
4356 # set thread_received=no
4358 # Name: thread_received
4363 # When set, mutt uses the date received rather than the date sent
4364 # to thread messages by subject.
4367 # set thorough_search=no
4369 # Name: thorough_search
4374 # Affects the ~b and ~h search operations described in
4375 # section ``patterns''. If set, the headers and body/attachments of
4376 # messages to be searched are decoded before searching. If unset,
4377 # messages are searched as they appear in the folder.
4379 # Users searching attachments or for non-ASCII characters should set
4380 # this value because decoding also includes MIME parsing/decoding and possible
4381 # character set conversions. Otherwise mutt will attempt to match against the
4382 # raw message received (for example quoted-printable encoded or with encoded
4383 # headers) which may lead to incorrect search results.
4393 # When set, the internal-pager will pad blank lines to the bottom of the
4394 # screen with a tilde (``~'').
4404 # Along with $read_inc, $write_inc, and $net_inc, this
4405 # variable controls the frequency with which progress updates are
4406 # displayed. It suppresses updates less than $time_inc milliseconds
4407 # apart. This can improve throughput on systems with slow terminals,
4408 # or when running mutt on a remote system.
4410 # Also see the ``tuning'' section of the manual for performance considerations.
4420 # When Mutt is waiting for user input either idleing in menus or
4421 # in an interactive prompt, Mutt would block until input is
4422 # present. Depending on the context, this would prevent certain
4423 # operations from working, like checking for new mail or keeping
4424 # an IMAP connection alive.
4426 # This variable controls how many seconds Mutt will at most wait
4427 # until it aborts waiting for input, performs these operations and
4428 # continues to wait for input.
4430 # A value of zero or less will cause Mutt to never time out.
4440 # This variable allows you to specify where Mutt will place its
4441 # temporary files needed for displaying and composing messages. If
4442 # this variable is not set, the environment variable $TMPDIR is
4443 # used. If $TMPDIR is not set then ``/tmp'' is used.
4446 # set to_chars=" +TCFL"
4453 # Controls the character used to indicate mail addressed to you. The
4454 # first character is the one used when the mail is not addressed to your
4455 # address. The second is used when you are the only
4456 # recipient of the message. The third is when your address
4457 # appears in the ``To:'' header field, but you are not the only recipient of
4458 # the message. The fourth character is used when your
4459 # address is specified in the ``Cc:'' header field, but you are not the only
4460 # recipient. The fifth character is used to indicate mail that was sent
4461 # by you. The sixth character is used to indicate when a mail
4462 # was sent to a mailing-list you subscribe to.
4472 # Setting this variable will cause mutt to open a pipe to a command
4473 # instead of a raw socket. You may be able to use this to set up
4474 # preauthenticated connections to your IMAP/POP3/SMTP server. Example:
4475 # set tunnel="ssh -q mailhost.net /usr/local/libexec/imapd"
4477 # Note: For this example to work you must be able to log in to the remote
4478 # machine without having to enter a password.
4481 # set use_8bitmime=no
4483 # Name: use_8bitmime
4488 # Warning: do not set this variable unless you are using a version
4489 # of sendmail which supports the -B8BITMIME flag (such as sendmail
4490 # 8.8.x) or you may not be able to send mail.
4492 # When set, Mutt will invoke $sendmail with the -B8BITMIME
4493 # flag when sending 8-bit messages to enable ESMTP negotiation.
4496 # set use_domain=yes
4503 # When set, Mutt will qualify all local addresses (ones without the
4504 # ``@host'' portion) with the value of $hostname. If unset, no
4505 # addresses will be qualified.
4508 # set use_envelope_from=no
4510 # Name: use_envelope_from
4515 # When set, mutt will set the envelope sender of the message.
4516 # If $envelope_from_address is set, it will be used as the sender
4517 # address. If unset, mutt will attempt to derive the sender from the
4520 # Note that this information is passed to sendmail command using the
4521 # -f command line switch. Therefore setting this option is not useful
4522 # if the $sendmail variable already contains -f or if the
4523 # executable pointed to by $sendmail doesn't support the -f switch.
4533 # When set, Mutt will generate the ``From:'' header field when
4534 # sending messages. If unset, no ``From:'' header field will be
4535 # generated unless the user explicitly sets one using the ``my_hdr''
4546 # When set, Mutt will show you international domain names decoded.
4547 # Note: You can use IDNs for addresses even if this is unset.
4548 # This variable only affects decoding.
4558 # When set, Mutt will look for IPv6 addresses of hosts it tries to
4559 # contact. If this option is unset, Mutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses.
4560 # Normally, the default should work.
4563 # set user_agent=yes
4570 # When set, mutt will add a ``User-Agent:'' header to outgoing
4571 # messages, indicating which version of mutt was used for composing
4582 # Specifies the visual editor to invoke when the ``~v'' command is
4583 # given in the builtin editor.
4593 # Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after an external command
4594 # has been invoked by these functions: <shell-escape>,
4595 # <pipe-message>, <pipe-entry>, <print-message>,
4596 # and <print-entry> commands.
4598 # It is also used when viewing attachments with ``auto_view'', provided
4599 # that the corresponding mailcap entry has a needsterminal flag,
4600 # and the external program is interactive.
4602 # When set, Mutt will always ask for a key. When unset, Mutt will wait
4603 # for a key only if the external command returned a non-zero status.
4613 # When set, mutt will weed headers when displaying, forwarding,
4614 # printing, or replying to messages.
4624 # When set to a positive value, mutt will wrap text at $wrap characters.
4625 # When set to a negative value, mutt will wrap text so that there are $wrap
4626 # characters of empty space on the right side of the terminal.
4629 # set wrap_search=yes
4636 # Controls whether searches wrap around the end.
4638 # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When
4639 # unset, incremental searches will not wrap.
4649 # (DEPRECATED) Equivalent to setting $wrap with a negative value.
4659 # When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every
4660 # $write_inc messages to indicate progress. If set to 0, only a
4661 # single message will be displayed before writing a mailbox.
4663 # Also see the $read_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the
4664 # ``tuning'' section of the manual for performance considerations.
4674 # Controls whether mutt writes out the ``Bcc:'' header when preparing
4675 # messages to be sent. Exim users may wish to unset this. If mutt
4676 # is set to deliver directly via SMTP (see $smtp_url), this
4677 # option does nothing: mutt will never write out the ``Bcc:'' header
