58 Mutt also supports a “<span class="quote">batch</span>” mode to send prepared messages. Simply redirect
59 input from the file you wish to send. For example,
61 <code class="literal">mutt -s "data set for run #2" professor@bigschool.edu
62 < ˜/run2.dat</code>
64 This command will send a message to “<span class="quote">professor@bigschool.edu</span>” with a subject
65 of “<span class="quote">data set for run #2</span>”. In the body of the message will be the contents
66 of the file “<span class="quote">˜/run2.dat</span>”.
68 All files passed with -a <span class="emphasis"><em>file</em></span> will be attached as a MIME
69 part to the message. To attach several files, use “<span class="quote">--</span>” to separate files and
70 recipient addresses: <code class="literal">mutt -a *.png -- some@one.org</code>

410 Messages containing these codes are rare, but if this option is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>,
411 their text will be colored accordingly. Note that this may override
412 your color choices, and even present a security problem, since a

442 This variable is a colon-separated list of character encoding
443 schemes for messages without character encoding indication.
444 Header field values and message body content without character encoding
445 indication would be assumed that they are written in one of this list.
446 By default, all the header fields and message body without any charset
447 indication are assumed to be in “<span class="quote">us-ascii</span>”.
449 For example, Japanese users might prefer this:
451 </p><pre class="screen">

460 If <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, the value of <a class="link" href="reference.html#charset" title="3.25. charset">$charset</a> will be used instead.
461 For example, the following configuration would work for Japanese
464 </p><pre class="screen">

468 Note: for Japanese users, “<span class="quote">iso-2022-*</span>” must be put at the head

504 etc) on a list of tagged attachments, Mutt will concatenate the
505 attachments and will operate on them as a single attachment. The
506 <a class="link" href="reference.html#attach-sep" title="3.14. attach_sep">$attach_sep</a> separator is added after each attachment. When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>,
507 Mutt will operate on the attachments one by one.

515 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span> along with <a class="link" href="reference.html#edit-headers" title="3.50. edit_headers">$edit_headers</a>, Mutt will skip the initial
516 send-menu (prompting for subject and recipients) and allow you to
517 immediately begin editing the body of your
518 message. The send-menu may still be accessed once you have finished
519 editing the body of your message.

524 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, functions in the <span class="emphasis"><em>index</em></span> menu which affect a message
525 will be applied to all tagged messages (if there are any). When

533 When this variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will beep whenever it prints a message
534 notifying you of new mail. This is independent of the setting of the

538 Controls whether you will be asked to confirm bouncing messages.
539 If set to <span class="emphasis"><em>yes</em></span> you don't get asked if you want to bounce a
540 message. Setting this variable to <span class="emphasis"><em>no</em></span> is not generally useful,
541 and thus not recommended, because you are unable to bounce messages.

548 When this variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will place the cursor at the beginning
549 of the current line in menus, even when the <a class="link" href="reference.html#arrow-cursor" title="3.7. arrow_cursor">$arrow_cursor</a> variable
550 is <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, making it easier for blind persons using Braille displays to
551 follow these menus. The option is <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span> by default because many

555 When this variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will use file size attribute instead of
556 access time when checking for new mail in mbox and mmdf folders.
558 This variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span> by default and should only be enabled when
559 new mail detection for these folder types is unreliable or doesn't work.
561 Note that enabling this variable should happen before any “<span class="quote"><a class="link" href="configuration.html#mailboxes" title="14. Monitoring incoming mail">mailboxes</a></span>”
562 directives occur in configuration files regarding mbox or mmdf folders
563 because mutt needs to determine the initial new mail status of such a
564 mailbox by performing a fast mailbox scan when it is defined.
565 Afterwards the new mail status is tracked by file size changes.

581 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, Mutt will check for new mail delivered while the
582 mailbox is open. Especially with MH mailboxes, this operation can
583 take quite some time since it involves scanning the directory and
584 checking each file to see if it has already been looked at. If
585 this variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, no check for new mail is performed

597 Controls the format of the status line displayed in the “<span class="quote">compose</span>”
598 menu. This string is similar to <a class="link" href="reference.html#status-format" title="3.279. status_format">$status_format</a>, but has its own

609 Default: (empty)</p></div><p>
610 When defined, Mutt will recode commands in rc files from this
611 encoding to the current character set as specified by <a class="link" href="reference.html#charset" title="3.25. charset">$charset</a>
612 and aliases written to <a class="link" href="reference.html#alias-file" title="3.3. alias_file">$alias_file</a> from the current character set.
614 Please note that if setting <a class="link" href="reference.html#charset" title="3.25. charset">$charset</a> it must be done before
615 setting <a class="link" href="reference.html#config-charset" title="3.30. config_charset">$config_charset</a>.
617 Recoding should be avoided as it may render unconvertable
618 characters as question marks which can lead to undesired
619 side effects (for example in regular expressions).

833 Controls whether or not the “<span class="quote">Mail-Followup-To:</span>” header field is

838 This field has two purposes. First, preventing you from

841 separately for any messages sent to known lists to which you are
844 The header will contain only the list's address
845 for subscribed lists, and both the list address and your own
846 email address for unsubscribed lists. Without this header, a
847 group reply to your message sent to a subscribed list will be
848 sent to both the list and your address, resulting in two copies
849 of the same email for you.

859 Controls the decoding of complex MIME messages into <code class="literal">text/plain</code> when

885 Default: “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">^[^,]*</code></span>”</p></div><p>
886 A regular expression used by mutt to parse the GECOS field of a password
887 entry when expanding the alias. The default value
888 will return the string up to the first “<span class="quote">,</span>” encountered.
889 If the GECOS field contains a string like “<span class="quote">lastname, firstname</span>” then you
890 should set it to “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">.*</code></span>”.
892 This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address a e-mail
893 to user ID “<span class="quote">stevef</span>” whose full name is “<span class="quote">Steve Franklin</span>”. If mutt expands
894 “<span class="quote">stevef</span>” to “<span class="quote">"Franklin" stevef@foo.bar</span>” then you should set the <a class="link" href="reference.html#gecos-mask" title="3.67. gecos_mask">$gecos_mask</a> to
895 a regular expression that will match the whole name so mutt will expand
896 “<span class="quote">Franklin</span>” to “<span class="quote">Franklin, Steve</span>”.

993 This is a colon-delimited list of authentication methods mutt may
994 attempt to use to log in to an IMAP server, in the order mutt should
995 try them. Authentication methods are either “<span class="quote">login</span>” or the right
996 side of an IMAP “<span class="quote">AUTH=xxx</span>” capability string, eg “<span class="quote">digest-md5</span>”, “<span class="quote">gssapi</span>”
997 or “<span class="quote">cram-md5</span>”. This option is case-insensitive. If it's
998 <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span> (the default) mutt will try all available methods,
999 in order from most-secure to least-secure.

1012 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will fetch the set of subscribed folders from
1013 your server on connection, and add them to the set of mailboxes
1014 it polls for new mail just as if you had issued individual “<span class="quote"><a class="link" href="configuration.html#mailboxes" title="14. Monitoring incoming mail">mailboxes</a></span>”

1018 This contains the list of characters which you would like to treat
1019 as folder separators for displaying IMAP paths. In particular it
1020 helps in using the “<span class="quote">=</span>” shortcut for your <span class="emphasis"><em>folder</em></span> variable.

1023 Mutt requests these header fields in addition to the default headers
1024 (“<span class="quote">Date:</span>”, “<span class="quote">From:</span>”, “<span class="quote">Subject:</span>”, “<span class="quote">To:</span>”, “<span class="quote">Cc:</span>”, “<span class="quote">Message-Id:</span>”,

1027 servers before displaying the index menu. You may want to add more
1028 headers for spam detection.
1030 <span class="bold"><strong>Note:</strong></span> This is a space separated list, items should be uppercase
1031 and not contain the colon, e.g. “<span class="quote">X-BOGOSITY X-SPAM-STATUS</span>” for the

1034 Default: no</p></div><p>
1035 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will attempt to use the IMAP IDLE extension
1036 to check for new mail in the current mailbox. Some servers
1037 (dovecot was the inspiration for this option) react badly
1038 to mutt's implementation. If your connection seems to freeze
1039 up periodically, try unsetting this.

1042 This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt
1043 will wait before polling open IMAP connections, to prevent the server
1044 from closing them before mutt has finished with them. The default is
1045 well within the RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before
1046 a server is allowed to do this, but in practice the RFC does get
1047 violated every now and then. Reduce this number if you find yourself
1048 getting disconnected from your IMAP server due to inactivity.

1051 This variable configures whether IMAP folder browsing will look for
1052 only subscribed folders or all folders. This can be toggled in the
1053 IMAP browser with the <code class="literal"><toggle-subscribed></code> function.

1056 Your login name on the IMAP server.
1058 This variable defaults to the value of <a class="link" href="reference.html#imap-user" title="3.96. imap_user">$imap_user</a>.

1060 Default: (empty)</p></div><p>
1061 Specifies the password for your IMAP account. If <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, Mutt will
1062 prompt you for your password when you invoke the <code class="literal"><a class="link" href="optionalfeatures.html#fetch-mail"><fetch-mail></a></code> function
1063 or try to open an IMAP folder.
1065 <span class="bold"><strong>Warning</strong></span>: you should only use this option when you are on a
1066 fairly secure machine, because the superuser can read your muttrc even
1067 if you are the only one who can read the file.

1069 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1070 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will not open new IMAP connections to check for new
1071 mail. Mutt will only check for new mail over existing IMAP
1072 connections. This is useful if you don't want to be prompted to
1073 user/password pairs on mutt invocation, or if opening the connection

1076 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1077 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will avoid implicitly marking your mail as read whenever
1078 you fetch a message from the server. This is generally a good thing,
1079 but can make closing an IMAP folder somewhat slower. This option
1080 exists to appease speed freaks.

1082 Default: 15</p></div><p>
1083 Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they
1084 are sent to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time
1085 mutt must wait for the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much
1086 more responsive. But not all servers correctly handle pipelined commands,
1087 so if you have problems you might want to try setting this variable to 0.
1089 <span class="bold"><strong>Note:</strong></span> Changes to this variable have no effect on open connections.

1091 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1092 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will display warning messages from the IMAP
1093 server as error messages. Since these messages are often
1094 harmless, or generated due to configuration problems on the
1095 server which are out of the users' hands, you may wish to suppress

1105 If set to “<span class="quote">yes</span>”, mutt will look for a mailcap entry with the
1106 “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">copiousoutput</code></span>” flag set for <span class="emphasis"><em>every</em></span> MIME attachment it doesn't have
1107 an internal viewer defined for. If such an entry is found, mutt will

1120 Specifies the string to prepend to each line of text quoted in a
1121 message to which you are replying. You are strongly encouraged not to
1122 change this value, as it tends to agitate the more fanatical netizens.
1124 This option is a format string, please see the description of
1125 <a class="link" href="reference.html#index-format" title="3.101. index_format">$index_format</a> for supported <code class="literal">printf(3)</code>-style sequences.
1127 Because for <code class="literal">format=lowed</code> style messages the quoting mechanism
1128 is strictly defined, this setting is ignored if <a class="link" href="reference.html#text-flowed" title="3.283. text_flowed">$text_flowed</a> is

1132 This variable allows you to customize the message index display to
1133 your personal taste.
1135 “<span class="quote">Format strings</span>” are similar to the strings used in the C
1136 function <code class="literal">printf(3)</code> to format output (see the man page for more details).

1199 soft-fill gives priority to the right-hand side, guaranteeing space
1200 to display it and showing padding only if there's still room. If
1201 necessary, soft-fill will eat text leftwards to make room for

1227 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1228 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will restrict possible characters in mailcap % expandos
1229 to a well-defined set of safe characters. This is the safe setting,
1230 but we are not sure it doesn't break some more advanced MIME stuff.

1235 Default: (empty)</p></div><p>
1236 This variable points to the header cache database.
1237 If pointing to a directory Mutt will contain a header cache
1238 database file per folder, if pointing to a file that file will
1239 be a single global header cache. By default it is <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span> so no header
1240 caching will be used.
1242 Header caching can greatly improve speed when opening POP, IMAP
1243 MH or Maildir folders, see “<span class="quote"><a class="link" href="optionalfeatures.html#caching" title="7. Local caching">caching</a></span>” for details.

1245 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1246 Check for Maildir unaware programs other than mutt having modified maildir
1247 files when the header cache is in use. This incurs one <code class="literal">stat(2)</code> per
1248 message every time the folder is opened (which can be very slow for NFS

1252 When mutt is compiled with either gdbm or bdb4 as the header cache backend,
1253 this option changes the database page size. Too large or too small
1254 values can waste space, memory, or CPU time. The default should be more
1255 or less optimal for most use cases.

1257 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1258 When mutt is compiled with qdbm or tokyocabinet as header cache backend,
1259 this option determines whether the database will be compressed.
1260 Compression results in database files roughly being one fifth
1261 of the usual diskspace, but the uncompression can result in a
1262 slower opening of cached folder(s) which in general is still
1263 much faster than opening non header cached folders.

1307 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1308 When <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, the bottom entry of menus will never scroll up past
1309 the bottom of the screen, unless there are less entries than lines.
1310 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, the bottom entry may move off the bottom.

1312 Default: no</p></div><p>
1313 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, menus will be scrolled up or down one line when you
1314 attempt to move across a screen boundary. If <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, the screen
1315 is cleared and the next or previous page of the menu is displayed
1316 (useful for slow links to avoid many redraws).

1318 Default: no</p></div><p>
1319 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, forces Mutt to interpret keystrokes with the high bit (bit 8)
1320 set as if the user had pressed the Esc key and whatever key remains
1321 after having the high bit removed. For example, if the key pressed
1322 has an ASCII value of <code class="literal">0xf8</code>, then this is treated as if the user had
1323 pressed Esc then “<span class="quote">x</span>”. This is because the result of removing the
1324 high bit from <code class="literal">0xf8</code> is <code class="literal">0x78</code>, which is the ASCII character
1325 “<span class="quote">x</span>”.

1327 Default: no</p></div><p>
1328 When <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, mutt will mimic mh's behaviour and rename deleted messages
1329 to <span class="emphasis"><em>,<old file name></em></span> in mh folders instead of really deleting
1330 them. This leaves the message on disk but makes programs reading the folder
1331 ignore it. If the variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, the message files will simply be

1346 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, the message you are forwarding will be attached as a
1347 separate <code class="literal">message/rfc822</code> MIME part instead of included in the main body of the
1348 message. This is useful for forwarding MIME messages so the receiver
1349 can properly view the message as it was delivered to you. If you like

1425 Using an external pager may have some disadvantages: Additional
1426 keystrokes are necessary because you can't call mutt functions

1443 Determines the number of lines of a mini-index which is shown when in
1444 the pager. The current message, unless near the top or bottom of the
1445 folder, will be roughly one third of the way down this mini-index,
1446 giving the reader the context of a few messages before and after the
1447 message. This is useful, for example, to determine how many messages
1448 remain to be read in the current thread. One of the lines is reserved
1449 for the status bar from the index, so a setting of 6
1450 will only show 5 lines of the actual index. A value of 0 results in
1451 no index being shown. If the number of messages in the current folder
1452 is less than <a class="link" href="reference.html#pager-index-lines" title="3.141. pager_index_lines">$pager_index_lines</a>, then the index will only use as

1470 Setting this variable will cause Mutt to always attempt to PGP

1479 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1480 Setting this variable will cause Mutt to ignore OpenPGP subkeys. Instead,

1501 <a class="link" href="reference.html#crypt-replyencrypt" title="3.146. crypt_replyencrypt">$crypt_replyencrypt</a>, because it allows you to sign all
1502 messages which are automatically encrypted. This works around
1503 the problem noted in <a class="link" href="reference.html#crypt-replysign" title="3.147. crypt_replysign">$crypt_replysign</a>, that mutt is not able
1504 to find out whether an encrypted message is also signed.

1507 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1508 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will include a time stamp in the lines surrounding
1509 PGP or S/MIME output, so spoofing such lines is more difficult.
1510 If you are using colors to mark these lines, and rely on these,
1511 you may <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span> this setting.

1520 If <span class="emphasis"><em>“<span class="quote">ask-*</span>”</em></span>, ask whether or not to verify the signature.

1524 Default: no</p></div><p>
1525 The default behaviour of mutt is to use PGP on all auto-sign/encryption
1526 operations. To override and to use OpenSSL instead this must be <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>.
1527 However, this has no effect while replying, since mutt will automatically
1528 select the same application that was used to sign/encrypt the original
1529 message. (Note that this variable can be overridden by unsetting <a class="link" href="reference.html#crypt-autosmime" title="3.39. crypt_autosmime">$crypt_autosmime</a>.)

1533 This flag controls whether you want to be asked to enter a label
1534 for a certificate about to be added to the database or not. It is
1535 <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span> by default.

1538 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1539 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span> (default) this tells mutt to use the default key for decryption. Otherwise,
1540 if managing multiple certificate-key-pairs, mutt will try to use the mailbox-address
1541 to determine the key to use. It will ask you to supply a key, if it can't find one.

1545 This variable allows you to customize the PGP key selection menu to
1546 your personal taste. This string is similar to <a class="link" href="reference.html#index-format" title="3.101. index_format">$index_format</a>, but

1562 If you assign a text to this variable, then a PGP signature is only
1563 considered verified if the output from <a class="link" href="reference.html#pgp-verify-command" title="3.171. pgp_verify_command">$pgp_verify_command</a> contains
1564 the text. Use this variable if the exit code from the command is 0

1579 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, signed and encrypted messages will consist of nested
1580 <code class="literal">multipart/signed</code> and <code class="literal">multipart/encrypted</code> body parts.
1582 This is useful for applications like encrypted and signed mailing
1583 lists, where the outer layer (<code class="literal">multipart/encrypted</code>) can be easily
1584 removed, while the inner <code class="literal">multipart/signed</code> part is retained.

1587 Default: no</p></div><p>
1588 This option controls whether Mutt generates old-style inline
1589 (traditional) PGP encrypted or signed messages under certain
1590 circumstances. This can be overridden by use of the pgp menu,
1591 when inline is not required.
1593 Note that Mutt might automatically use PGP/MIME for messages
1594 which consist of more than a single MIME part. Mutt can be
1595 configured to ask before sending PGP/MIME messages when inline
1596 (traditional) would not work.
1598 Also see the <a class="link" href="reference.html#pgp-mime-auto" title="3.167. pgp_mime_auto">$pgp_mime_auto</a> variable.
1600 Also note that using the old-style PGP message format is <span class="bold"><strong>strongly</strong></span>

1605 Setting this variable will cause Mutt to always attempt to
1606 create an inline (traditional) message when replying to a
1607 message which is PGP encrypted/signed inline. This can be
1608 overridden by use of the pgp menu, when inline is not
1609 required. This option does not automatically detect if the
1610 (replied-to) message is inline; instead it relies on Mutt
1611 internals for previously checked/flagged messages.
1613 Note that Mutt might automatically use PGP/MIME for messages
1614 which consist of more than a single MIME part. Mutt can be
1615 configured to ask before sending PGP/MIME messages when inline
1616 (traditional) would not work.
1618 Also see the <a class="link" href="reference.html#pgp-mime-auto" title="3.167. pgp_mime_auto">$pgp_mime_auto</a> variable.

1625 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will display non-usable keys on the PGP key selection
1626 menu. This includes keys which have been revoked, have expired, or

1631 If you have more than one key pair, this option allows you to specify
1632 which of your private keys to use. It is recommended that you use the
1633 keyid form to specify your key (e.g. <code class="literal">0x00112233</code>).

1636 Default: yes</p></div><p>
1637 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, Mutt will automatically encode PGP/MIME signed messages as
1638 quoted-printable. Please note that unsetting this variable may
1639 lead to problems with non-verifyable PGP signatures, so only change
1640 this if you know what you are doing.

1661 Default: ask-yes</p></div><p>
1662 This option controls whether Mutt will prompt you for
1663 automatically sending a (signed/encrypted) message using
1664 PGP/MIME when inline (traditional) fails (for any reason).
1666 Also note that using the old-style PGP message format is <span class="bold"><strong>strongly</strong></span>

1670 Default: no</p></div><p>
1671 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will automatically attempt to decrypt traditional PGP
1672 messages whenever the user performs an operation which ordinarily would
1673 result in the contents of the message being operated on. For example,
1674 if the user displays a pgp-traditional message which has not been manually
1675 checked with the <code class="literal"><a class="link" href="gettingstarted.html#check-traditional-pgp"><check-traditional-pgp></a></code> function, mutt will automatically
1676 check the message for traditional pgp.

2199 A regular expression used in the internal pager to determine quoted
2200 sections of text in the body of a message. Quoted text may be filtered
2201 out using the <code class="literal"><toggle-quoted></code> command, or colored according to the
2202 “<span class="quote">color quoted</span>” family of directives.
2204 Higher levels of quoting may be colored differently (“<span class="quote">color quoted1</span>”,
2205 “<span class="quote">color quoted2</span>”, etc.). The quoting level is determined by removing
2206 the last character from the matched text and recursively reapplying
2207 the regular expression until it fails to produce a match.
2209 Match detection may be overridden by the <a class="link" href="reference.html#smileys" title="3.266. smileys">$smileys</a> regular expression.

2212 If set to a value greater than 0, Mutt will display which message it
2213 is currently on when reading a mailbox or when performing search actions
2214 such as search and limit. The message is printed after
2215 this many messages have been read or searched (e.g., if set to 25, Mutt will
2216 print a message when it is at message 25, and then again when it gets
2217 to message 50). This variable is meant to indicate progress when
2218 reading or searching large mailboxes which may take some time.

2229 This variable specifies what “<span class="quote">real</span>” or “<span class="quote">personal</span>” name should be used
2230 when sending messages.
2232 By default, this is the GECOS field from <code class="literal">/etc/passwd</code>. Note that this

2280 This variable controls whether or not Mutt will display the “<span class="quote">personal</span>”
2281 name from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that
2282 matches the message's sender. For example, if you have the following
2285 </p><pre class="screen">

2289 and then you receive mail which contains the following header:
2291 </p><pre class="screen">

2295 It would be displayed in the index menu as “<span class="quote">Joe User</span>” instead of
2296 “<span class="quote">abd30425@somewhere.net.</span>” This is useful when the person's e-mail

2300 It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine,
2301 move the messages to another machine, and reply to some the messages
2302 from there. If this variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, the default <span class="emphasis"><em>From:</em></span> line of

2312 This variable fine-tunes the behaviour of the <a class="link" href="reference.html#reverse-name" title="3.246. reverse_name">$reverse_name</a> feature.
2313 When it is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will use the address from incoming messages as-is,
2314 possibly including eventual real names. When it is <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, mutt will

2318 When this variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, Mutt will decode RFC2047-encoded MIME
2319 parameters. You want to set this variable when mutt suggests you
2320 to save attachments to files named like:

2326 When this variable is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span> interactively, the change won't be
2327 active until you change folders.
2329 Note that this use of RFC2047's encoding is explicitly
2330 prohibited by the standard, but nevertheless encountered in the
2333 Also note that setting this parameter will <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> have the effect
2334 that mutt <span class="emphasis"><em>generates</em></span> this kind of encoding. Instead, mutt will

2338 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will take the sender's full address when choosing a

2343 When <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed
2344 when closed (the exception is <a class="link" href="reference.html#spoolfile" title="3.277. spoolfile">$spoolfile</a> which is never removed).

2355 This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved.
2356 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, a check is made to see if a mailbox specified by the
2357 recipient address exists (this is done by searching for a mailbox in
2358 the <a class="link" href="reference.html#folder" title="3.58. folder">$folder</a> directory with the <span class="emphasis"><em>username</em></span> part of the

2386 Default: “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8</code></span>”</p></div><p>
2387 A colon-delimited list of character sets for outgoing messages. Mutt will use the
2388 first character set into which the text can be converted exactly.
2389 If your <a class="link" href="reference.html#charset" title="3.25. charset">$charset</a> is not “<span class="quote">iso-8859-1</span>” and recipients may not
2390 understand “<span class="quote">UTF-8</span>”, it is advisable to include in the list an
2391 appropriate widely used standard character set (such as
2392 “<span class="quote">iso-8859-2</span>”, “<span class="quote">koi8-r</span>” or “<span class="quote">iso-2022-jp</span>”) either instead of or after
2393 “<span class="quote">iso-8859-1</span>”.
2395 In case the text cannot be converted into one of these exactly,
2396 mutt uses <a class="link" href="reference.html#charset" title="3.25. charset">$charset</a> as a fallback.

2404 Specifies the number of seconds to wait for the <a class="link" href="reference.html#sendmail" title="3.258. sendmail">$sendmail</a> process
2405 to finish before giving up and putting delivery in the background.
2407 Mutt interprets the value of this variable as follows:

2424 this variable unless your signature contains just your name. The
2425 reason for this is because many software packages use “<span class="quote">-- \n</span>” to
2426 detect your signature. For example, Mutt has the ability to highlight
2427 the signature in a different color in the builtin pager.

2430 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, the signature will be included before any quoted or forwarded
2431 text. It is <span class="bold"><strong>strongly</strong></span> recommended that you do not set this variable
2432 unless you really know what you are doing, and are prepared to take
2433 some heat from netiquette guardians.

2436 Specifies the filename of your signature, which is appended to all
2437 outgoing messages. If the filename ends with a pipe (“<span class="quote">|</span>”), it is
2438 assumed that filename is a shell command and input should be read from
2439 its standard output.

2441 Default: “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">˜f %s | ˜s %s</code></span>”</p></div><p>
2442 Specifies how Mutt should expand a simple search into a real search
2443 pattern. A simple search is one that does not contain any of the “<span class="quote">˜</span>” pattern
2444 operators. See “<span class="quote"><a class="link" href="advancedusage.html#patterns" title="2. Patterns: Searching, Limiting and Tagging">patterns</a></span>” for more information on search patterns.
2446 For example, if you simply type “<span class="quote">joe</span>” at a search or limit prompt, Mutt
2447 will automatically expand it to the value specified by this variable by
2448 replacing “<span class="quote">%s</span>” with the supplied string.
2449 For the default value, “<span class="quote">joe</span>” would be expanded to: “<span class="quote">˜f joe | ˜s joe</span>”.

2452 Controls the display of lines longer than the screen width in the
2453 internal pager. If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, long lines are wrapped at a word boundary. If
2454 <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, lines are simply wrapped at the screen edge. Also see the

2458 The <span class="emphasis"><em>pager</em></span> uses this variable to catch some common false
2459 positives of <a class="link" href="reference.html#quote-regexp" title="3.235. quote_regexp">$quote_regexp</a>, most notably smileys and not consider
2460 a line quoted text if it also matches <a class="link" href="reference.html#smileys" title="3.266. smileys">$smileys</a>. This mostly

2532 When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted
2533 in relation to other threads, and how the branches of the thread trees
2534 are sorted. This can be set to any value that <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort" title="3.271. sort">$sort</a> can, except
2535 “<span class="quote">threads</span>” (in that case, mutt will just use “<span class="quote">date-sent</span>”). You can also
2536 specify the “<span class="quote">last-</span>” prefix in addition to the “<span class="quote">reverse-</span>” prefix, but “<span class="quote">last-</span>”
2537 must come after “<span class="quote">reverse-</span>”. The “<span class="quote">last-</span>” prefix causes messages to be
2538 sorted against its siblings by which has the last descendant, using
2539 the rest of <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort-aux" title="3.273. sort_aux">$sort_aux</a> as an ordering. For instance,
2541 </p><pre class="screen">
2542 set sort_aux=last-date-received
2545 would mean that if a new message is received in a
2546 thread, that thread becomes the last one displayed (or the first, if
2547 you have “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">set sort=reverse-threads</code></span>”.)

2550 order <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort-aux" title="3.273. sort_aux">$sort_aux</a> is reversed again (which is not the right thing to do,

2566 This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with
2567 <a class="link" href="reference.html#strict-threads" title="3.281. strict_threads">$strict_threads</a> <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>. In that case, it changes the heuristic
2568 mutt uses to thread messages by subject. With <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort-re" title="3.275. sort_re">$sort_re</a> <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will
2569 only attach a message as the child of another message by subject if
2570 the subject of the child message starts with a substring matching the
2571 setting of <a class="link" href="reference.html#reply-regexp" title="3.241. reply_regexp">$reply_regexp</a>. With <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort-re" title="3.275. sort_re">$sort_re</a> <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, mutt will attach
2572 the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the

2590 <a class="link" href="reference.html#status-format" title="3.279. status_format">$status_format</a>. The first character is used when the mailbox is
2591 unchanged. The second is used when the mailbox has been changed, and
2592 it needs to be resynchronized. The third is used if the mailbox is in
2593 read-only mode, or if the mailbox will not be written when exiting
2594 that mailbox (You can toggle whether to write changes to a mailbox
2595 with the <code class="literal"><toggle-write></code> operation, bound by default to “<span class="quote">%</span>”). The fourth
2596 is used to indicate that the current folder has been opened in attach-
2597 message mode (Certain operations like composing a new mail, replying,
2598 forwarding, etc. are not permitted in this mode).

2633 * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
2635 Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string
2636 if their value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the
2637 number of flagged messages if such messages exist, since zero is not
2638 particularly meaningful. To optionally print a string based upon one
2639 of the above sequences, the following construct is used:
2641 <code class="literal">%?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?</code>
2643 where <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is a character from the table above, and
2644 <span class="emphasis"><em>optional_string</em></span> is the string you would like printed if
2645 <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
2646 other sequences as well as normal text, but you may <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span> nest
2649 Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of
2650 new messages in a mailbox:
2652 <code class="literal">%?n?%n new messages.?</code>
2654 You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
2656 <code class="literal">%?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?</code>
2658 If the value of <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is non-zero, <span class="emphasis"><em>if_string</em></span> will
2659 be expanded, otherwise <span class="emphasis"><em>else_string</em></span> will be expanded.
2661 You can force the result of any <code class="literal">printf(3)</code>-like sequence to be lowercase
2662 by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (“<span class="quote">_</span>”) sign.
2663 For example, if you want to display the local hostname in lowercase,
2664 you would use: “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">%_h</code></span>”.
2666 If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (“<span class="quote">:</span>”) character, mutt
2667 will replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful
2668 with IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.

2670 Default: no</p></div><p>
2671 Setting this variable causes the “<span class="quote">status bar</span>” to be displayed on
2672 the first line of the screen rather than near the bottom. If <a class="link" href="reference.html#help" title="3.70. help">$help</a>

2676 If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, threading will only make use of the “<span class="quote">In-Reply-To</span>” and
2677 “<span class="quote">References:</span>” fields when you <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort" title="3.271. sort">$sort</a> by message threads. By
2678 default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in
2679 “<span class="quote">pseudo threads.</span>”. This may not always be desirable, such as in a
2680 personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with
2681 the subjects like “<span class="quote">hi</span>” which will get grouped together. See also
2682 <a class="link" href="reference.html#sort-re" title="3.275. sort_re">$sort_re</a> for a less drastic way of controlling this

2685 Default: yes</p></div><p>
2686 When <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, mutt won't stop when the user presses the terminal's
2687 <span class="emphasis"><em>susp</em></span> key, usually “<span class="quote">^Z</span>”. This is useful if you run mutt
2688 inside an xterm using a command like “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">xterm -e mutt</code></span>”.

2690 Default: no</p></div><p>
2691 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will generate “<span class="quote">format=flowed</span>” bodies with a content type
2692 of “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">text/plain; format=flowed</code></span>”.
2693 This format is easier to handle for some mailing software, and generally
2694 just looks like ordinary text. To actually make use of this format's
2695 features, you'll need support in your editor.
2697 Note that <a class="link" href="reference.html#indent-string" title="3.100. indent_string">$indent_string</a> is ignored when this option is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>.

2699 Default: no</p></div><p>
2700 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt uses the date received rather than the date sent
2701 to thread messages by subject.

2704 Affects the <code class="literal">˜b</code> and <code class="literal">˜h</code> search operations described in
2705 section “<span class="quote"><a class="link" href="advancedusage.html#patterns" title="2. Patterns: Searching, Limiting and Tagging">patterns</a></span>”. If <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, the headers and body/attachments of
2706 messages to be searched are decoded before searching. If <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>,
2707 messages are searched as they appear in the folder.
2709 Users searching attachments or for non-ASCII characters should <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>
2710 this value because decoding also includes MIME parsing/decoding and possible
2711 character set conversions. Otherwise mutt will attempt to match against the
2712 raw message received (for example quoted-printable encoded or with encoded
2713 headers) which may lead to incorrect search results.

2720 Along with <a class="link" href="reference.html#read-inc" title="3.236. read_inc">$read_inc</a>, <a class="link" href="reference.html#write-inc" title="3.305. write_inc">$write_inc</a>, and <a class="link" href="reference.html#net-inc" title="3.137. net_inc">$net_inc</a>, this
2721 variable controls the frequency with which progress updates are
2722 displayed. It suppresses updates less than <a class="link" href="reference.html#time-inc" title="3.287. time_inc">$time_inc</a> milliseconds
2723 apart. This can improve throughput on systems with slow terminals,
2724 or when running mutt on a remote system.
2726 Also see the “<span class="quote"><a class="link" href="tuning.html" title="Chapter 7. Performance tuning">tuning</a></span>” section of the manual for performance considerations.

2728 Default: 600</p></div><p>
2729 When Mutt is waiting for user input either idleing in menus or
2730 in an interactive prompt, Mutt would block until input is
2731 present. Depending on the context, this would prevent certain
2732 operations from working, like checking for new mail or keeping
2733 an IMAP connection alive.
2735 This variable controls how many seconds Mutt will at most wait
2736 until it aborts waiting for input, performs these operations and
2737 continues to wait for input.
2739 A value of zero or less will cause Mutt to never time out.

2742 This variable allows you to specify where Mutt will place its
2743 temporary files needed for displaying and composing messages. If
2744 this variable is not set, the environment variable <code class="literal">$TMPDIR</code> is
2745 used. If <code class="literal">$TMPDIR</code> is not set then “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">/tmp</code></span>” is used.

2748 Controls the character used to indicate mail addressed to you. The
2749 first character is the one used when the mail is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> addressed to your
2750 address. The second is used when you are the only
2751 recipient of the message. The third is when your address
2752 appears in the “<span class="quote">To:</span>” header field, but you are not the only recipient of
2753 the message. The fourth character is used when your
2754 address is specified in the “<span class="quote">Cc:</span>” header field, but you are not the only
2755 recipient. The fifth character is used to indicate mail that was sent
2756 by <span class="emphasis"><em>you</em></span>. The sixth character is used to indicate when a mail
2757 was sent to a mailing-list you subscribe to.
2758 </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="tunnel"></a>3.291. tunnel</h3></div></div></div><div class="literallayout"><p>Type: string<br />
2759 Default: (empty)</p></div><p>
2760 Setting this variable will cause mutt to open a pipe to a command
2761 instead of a raw socket. You may be able to use this to set up
2762 preauthenticated connections to your IMAP/POP3/SMTP server. Example:
2764 </p><pre class="screen">
2765 set tunnel="ssh -q mailhost.net /usr/local/libexec/imapd"

2785 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, mutt will set the <span class="emphasis"><em>envelope</em></span> sender of the message.
2786 If <a class="link" href="reference.html#envelope-from-address" title="3.53. envelope_from_address">$envelope_from_address</a> is <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, it will be used as the sender
2787 address. If <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, mutt will attempt to derive the sender from the
2788 “<span class="quote">From:</span>” header.
2790 Note that this information is passed to sendmail command using the
2791 <code class="literal">-f</code> command line switch. Therefore setting this option is not useful
2792 if the <a class="link" href="reference.html#sendmail" title="3.258. sendmail">$sendmail</a> variable already contains <code class="literal">-f</code> or if the

2804 This variable only affects decoding.

2806 Default: yes</p></div><p>
2807 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, Mutt will look for IPv6 addresses of hosts it tries to
2808 contact. If this option is <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, Mutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses.
2809 Normally, the default should work.

2821 Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after an external command
2822 has been invoked by these functions: <code class="literal"><shell-escape></code>,
2823 <code class="literal"><pipe-message></code>, <code class="literal"><pipe-entry></code>, <code class="literal"><print-message></code>,
2824 and <code class="literal"><print-entry></code> commands.
2826 It is also used when viewing attachments with “<span class="quote"><a class="link" href="mimesupport.html#auto-view" title="4. MIME Autoview">auto_view</a></span>”, provided
2827 that the corresponding mailcap entry has a <span class="emphasis"><em>needsterminal</em></span> flag,
2828 and the external program is interactive.
2830 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, Mutt will always ask for a key. When <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, Mutt will wait
2831 for a key only if the external command returned a non-zero status.

2843 Controls whether searches wrap around the end.
2845 When <span class="emphasis"><em>set</em></span>, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When
2846 <span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, incremental searches will not wrap.

2852 When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every

2860 Controls whether mutt writes out the “<span class="quote">Bcc:</span>” header when preparing
2861 messages to be sent. Exim users may wish to unset this. If mutt
2862 is set to deliver directly via SMTP (see <a class="link" href="reference.html#smtp-url" title="3.270. smtp_url">$smtp_url</a>), this
2863 option does nothing: mutt will never write out the “<span class="quote">Bcc:</span>” header
