77 ## *** DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR THE ATTACHMENTS PATCH ***
81 ## Please see the manual (section "attachments") for detailed
82 ## documentation of the "attachments" command.
84 ## Removing a pattern from a list removes that pattern literally. It
85 ## does not remove any type matching the pattern.
87 ## attachments +A */.*
88 ## attachments +A image/jpeg
89 ## unattachments +A */.*
91 ## This leaves "attached" image/jpeg files on the allowed attachments
92 ## list. It does not remove all items, as you might expect, because the
93 ## second */.* is not a matching expression at this time.
95 ## Remember: "unattachments" only undoes what "attachments" has done!
96 ## It does not trigger any matching on actual messages.
98 ## Qualify any MIME part with an "attachment" disposition, EXCEPT for
99 ## text/x-vcard and application/pgp parts. (PGP parts are already known
100 ## to mutt, and can be searched for with ~g, ~G, and ~k.)
102 ## I've added x-pkcs7 to this, since it functions (for S/MIME)
103 ## analogously to PGP signature attachments. S/MIME isn't supported
104 ## in a stock mutt build, but we can still treat it specially here.
107 attachments -A text/x-vcard application/pgp.*
108 attachments -A application/x-pkcs7-.*
110 ## Discount all MIME parts with an "inline" disposition, unless they're
111 ## text/plain. (Why inline a text/plain part unless it's external to the
114 attachments +I text/plain
116 ## These two lines make Mutt qualify MIME containers. (So, for example,
117 ## a message/rfc822 forward will count as an attachment.) The first
118 ## line is unnecessary if you already have "attach-allow */.*", of
119 ## course. These are off by default! The MIME elements contained
120 ## within a message/* or multipart/* are still examined, even if the
121 ## containers themseves don't qualify.
123 #attachments +A message/.* multipart/.*
124 #attachments +I message/.* multipart/.*
126 ## You probably don't really care to know about deleted attachments.

1005 # set followup_to=yes
1012 # Controls whether or not the ``Mail-Followup-To:'' header field is
1013 # generated when sending mail. When set, Mutt will generate this
1014 # field when you are replying to a known mailing list, specified with
1015 # the ``subscribe'' or ``lists'' commands.
1017 # This field has two purposes. First, preventing you from
1018 # receiving duplicate copies of replies to messages which you send
1019 # to mailing lists, and second, ensuring that you do get a reply
1020 # separately for any messages sent to known lists to which you are
1023 # The header will contain only the list's address
1024 # for subscribed lists, and both the list address and your own
1025 # email address for unsubscribed lists. Without this header, a
1026 # group reply to your message sent to a subscribed list will be
1027 # sent to both the list and your address, resulting in two copies
1028 # of the same email for you.
1038 # This variable is similar to $save_name, except that Mutt will
1039 # store a copy of your outgoing message by the username of the address
1040 # you are sending to even if that mailbox does not exist.
1042 # Also see the $record variable.
1045 # set forward_decode=yes
1047 # Name: forward_decode
1052 # Controls the decoding of complex MIME messages into text/plain when
1053 # forwarding a message. The message header is also RFC2047 decoded.
1054 # This variable is only used, if $mime_forward is unset,
1055 # otherwise $mime_forward_decode is used instead.
1058 # set forward_edit=yes
1060 # Name: forward_edit
1065 # This quadoption controls whether or not the user is automatically

1083 # Name: forward_quote
1088 # When set, forwarded messages included in the main body of the
1089 # message (when $mime_forward is unset) will be quoted using
1096 # Type: e-mail address
1100 # When set, this variable contains a default from address. It
1101 # can be overridden using ``my_hdr'' (including from a ``send-hook'') and

1104 # This setting defaults to the contents of the environment variable $EMAIL.
1107 # set gecos_mask="^[^,]*"
1110 # Type: regular expression
1114 # A regular expression used by mutt to parse the GECOS field of a password
1115 # entry when expanding the alias. The default value
1116 # will return the string up to the first ``,'' encountered.
1117 # If the GECOS field contains a string like ``lastname, firstname'' then you
1118 # should set it to ``.*''.
1120 # This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address an e-mail
1121 # to user ID ``stevef'' whose full name is ``Steve Franklin''. If mutt expands
1122 # ``stevef'' to ``"Franklin" stevef@foo.bar'' then you should set the $gecos_mask to
1123 # a regular expression that will match the whole name so mutt will expand
1124 # ``Franklin'' to ``Franklin, Steve''.
1134 # When unset, the header fields normally added by the ``my_hdr''
1135 # command are not created. This variable must be unset before
1136 # composing a new message or replying in order to take effect. If set,
1137 # the user defined header fields are added to every new message.
1147 # When set, this variable causes Mutt to include the header
1148 # of the message you are replying to into the edit buffer.
1149 # The $weed setting applies.
1159 # When set, help lines describing the bindings for the major functions
1160 # provided by each menu are displayed on the first line of the screen.
1162 # Note: The binding will not be displayed correctly if the
1163 # function is bound to a sequence rather than a single keystroke. Also,
1164 # the help line may not be updated if a binding is changed while Mutt is
1165 # running. Since this variable is primarily aimed at new users, neither
1166 # of these should present a major problem.
1169 # set hidden_host=no
1176 # When set, mutt will skip the host name part of $hostname variable
1177 # when adding the domain part to addresses. This variable does not

1264 # Name: honor_followup_to
1269 # This variable controls whether or not a Mail-Followup-To header is
1270 # honored when group-replying to a message.
1280 # Specifies the fully-qualified hostname of the system mutt is running on
1281 # containing the host's name and the DNS domain it belongs to. It is used
1282 # as the domain part (after ``@'') for local email addresses as well as
1283 # Message-Id headers.
1285 # Its value is determined at startup as follows: If the node's name
1286 # as returned by the uname(3) function contains the hostname and the
1287 # domain, these are used to construct $hostname. If there is no
1288 # domain part returned, Mutt will look for a ``domain'' or ``search''
1289 # line in /etc/resolv.conf to determine the domain. Optionally, Mutt
1290 # can be compiled with a fixed domain name in which case a detected

3577 # Name: quote_regexp
3578 # Type: regular expression
3579 # Default: "^([ \t]*[|>:}#])+"
3582 # A regular expression used in the internal pager to determine quoted
3583 # sections of text in the body of a message. Quoted text may be filtered
3584 # out using the <toggle-quoted> command, or colored according to the
3585 # ``color quoted'' family of directives.
3587 # Higher levels of quoting may be colored differently (``color quoted1'',
3588 # ``color quoted2'', etc.). The quoting level is determined by removing
3589 # the last character from the matched text and recursively reapplying
3590 # the regular expression until it fails to produce a match.
3592 # Match detection may be overridden by the $smileys regular expression.
3602 # If set to a value greater than 0, Mutt will display which message it
3603 # is currently on when reading a mailbox or when performing search actions
3604 # such as search and limit. The message is printed after
3605 # this many messages have been read or searched (e.g., if set to 25, Mutt will
3606 # print a message when it is at message 25, and then again when it gets
3607 # to message 50). This variable is meant to indicate progress when
3608 # reading or searching large mailboxes which may take some time.
3609 # When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the reading
3612 # Also see the $write_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the
3613 # ``tuning'' section of the manual for performance considerations.
3623 # If set, all folders are opened in read-only mode.

3680 # A regular expression used to recognize reply messages when threading
3681 # and replying. The default value corresponds to the English "Re:" and
3692 # If unset and you are replying to a message sent by you, Mutt will
3693 # assume that you want to reply to the recipients of that message rather

3706 # If set, when replying to a message, Mutt will use the address listed
3707 # in the Reply-to: header as the recipient of the reply. If unset,
3708 # it will use the address in the From: header field instead. This
3709 # option is useful for reading a mailing list that sets the Reply-To:
3710 # header field to the list address and you want to send a private
3711 # message to the author of a message.

3723 # current message is executed.
3726 # set reverse_alias=no
3728 # Name: reverse_alias
3733 # This variable controls whether or not Mutt will display the ``personal''
3734 # name from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that
3735 # matches the message's sender. For example, if you have the following
3737 # alias juser abd30425@somewhere.net (Joe User)
3739 # and then you receive mail which contains the following header:
3740 # From: abd30425@somewhere.net
3742 # It would be displayed in the index menu as ``Joe User'' instead of
3743 # ``abd30425@somewhere.net.'' This is useful when the person's e-mail
3744 # address is not human friendly.

3749 # Name: reverse_name
3754 # It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine,
3755 # move the messages to another machine, and reply to some the messages
3756 # from there. If this variable is set, the default From: line of
3757 # the reply messages is built using the address where you received the
3758 # messages you are replying to if that address matches your
3759 # ``alternates''. If the variable is unset, or the address that would be
3760 # used doesn't match your ``alternates'', the From: line will use
3761 # your address on the current machine.
3763 # Also see the ``alternates'' command.
3766 # set reverse_realname=yes
3768 # Name: reverse_realname
3773 # This variable fine-tunes the behaviour of the $reverse_name feature.
3774 # When it is set, mutt will use the address from incoming messages as-is,
3775 # possibly including eventual real names. When it is unset, mutt will
3776 # override any such real names with the setting of the $realname variable.

3805 # Name: save_address
3810 # If set, mutt will take the sender's full address when choosing a
3811 # default folder for saving a mail. If $save_name or $force_name
3812 # is set too, the selection of the Fcc folder will be changed as well.
3815 # set save_empty=yes
3822 # When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed
3823 # when closed (the exception is $spoolfile which is never removed).
3824 # If set, mailboxes are never removed.

3832 # Name: save_history
3837 # This variable controls the size of the history (per category) saved in the

3848 # This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved.
3849 # When set, a check is made to see if a mailbox specified by the
3850 # recipient address exists (this is done by searching for a mailbox in

3920 # ``iso-8859-2'', ``koi8-r'' or ``iso-2022-jp'') either instead of or after
3923 # In case the text cannot be converted into one of these exactly,

3927 # set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"
3931 # Default: "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"
3934 # Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by Mutt.
3935 # Mutt expects that the specified program interprets additional
3936 # arguments as recipient addresses.
3939 # set sendmail_wait=0
3941 # Name: sendmail_wait
3946 # Specifies the number of seconds to wait for the $sendmail process
3947 # to finish before giving up and putting delivery in the background.
3949 # Mutt interprets the value of this variable as follows:
3950 # >0 number of seconds to wait for sendmail to finish before continuing
3951 # 0 wait forever for sendmail to finish
3952 # <0 always put sendmail in the background without waiting
3955 # Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child
3956 # process will be put in a temporary file. If there is some error, you
3957 # will be informed as to where to find the output.
3967 # Command to use when spawning a subshell. By default, the user's login
3968 # shell from /etc/passwd is used.
3971 # set sig_dashes=yes
3978 # If set, a line containing ``-- '' (note the trailing space) will be inserted before your
3979 # $signature. It is strongly recommended that you not unset
3980 # this variable unless your signature contains just your name. The
3981 # reason for this is because many software packages use ``-- \n'' to
3982 # detect your signature. For example, Mutt has the ability to highlight
3983 # the signature in a different color in the builtin pager.
3993 # If set, the signature will be included before any quoted or forwarded
3994 # text. It is strongly recommended that you do not set this variable
3995 # unless you really know what you are doing, and are prepared to take
3996 # some heat from netiquette guardians.
3999 # set signature="~/.signature"
4003 # Default: "~/.signature"
4006 # Specifies the filename of your signature, which is appended to all
4007 # outgoing messages. If the filename ends with a pipe (``|''), it is
4008 # assumed that filename is a shell command and input should be read from
4009 # its standard output.
4012 # set simple_search="~f %s | ~s %s"
4014 # Name: simple_search
4016 # Default: "~f %s | ~s %s"
4019 # Specifies how Mutt should expand a simple search into a real search
4020 # pattern. A simple search is one that does not contain any of the ``~'' pattern
4021 # operators. See ``patterns'' for more information on search patterns.
4023 # For example, if you simply type ``joe'' at a search or limit prompt, Mutt
4024 # will automatically expand it to the value specified by this variable by
4025 # replacing ``%s'' with the supplied string.
4026 # For the default value, ``joe'' would be expanded to: ``~f joe | ~s joe''.
4029 # set smart_wrap=yes
4036 # Controls the display of lines longer than the screen width in the
4037 # internal pager. If set, long lines are wrapped at a word boundary. If
4038 # unset, lines are simply wrapped at the screen edge. Also see the
4039 # $markers variable.
4042 # set smileys="(>From )|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])"
4045 # Type: regular expression
4046 # Default: "(>From )|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])"
4049 # The pager uses this variable to catch some common false
4050 # positives of $quote_regexp, most notably smileys and not consider
4051 # a line quoted text if it also matches $smileys. This mostly
4052 # happens at the beginning of a line.
4062 # Specifies time, in seconds, to pause while displaying certain informational
4063 # messages, while moving from folder to folder and after expunging
4064 # messages from the current folder. The default is to pause one second, so
4065 # a value of zero for this option suppresses the pause.
4068 # set smtp_authenticators=""
4070 # Name: smtp_authenticators
4075 # This is a colon-delimited list of authentication methods mutt may
4076 # attempt to use to log in to an SMTP server, in the order mutt should
4077 # try them. Authentication methods are any SASL mechanism, eg
4078 # ``digest-md5'', ``gssapi'' or ``cram-md5''.
4079 # This option is case-insensitive. If it is ``unset''
4080 # (the default) mutt will try all available methods, in order from
4081 # most-secure to least-secure.
4084 # set smtp_authenticators="digest-md5:cram-md5"
4094 # Specifies the password for your SMTP account. If unset, Mutt will
4095 # prompt you for your password when you first send mail via SMTP.
4096 # See $smtp_url to configure mutt to send mail via SMTP.
4098 # Warning: you should only use this option when you are on a
4099 # fairly secure machine, because the superuser can read your muttrc even
4100 # if you are the only one who can read the file.
4110 # Defines the SMTP smarthost where sent messages should relayed for
4111 # delivery. This should take the form of an SMTP URL, eg:
4112 # smtp[s]://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/
4114 # \.\.\. where ``[...]'' denotes an optional part.
4115 # Setting this variable overrides the value of the $sendmail
4126 # Specifies how to sort messages in the ``index'' menu. Valid values
4128 # - date or date-sent
4131 # - mailbox-order (unsorted)
4140 # You may optionally use the ``reverse-'' prefix to specify reverse sorting
4141 # order (example: ``set sort=reverse-date-sent'').
4143 # Note: On Debian systems, this option is set by default to
4144 # ``threads'' in /etc/Muttrc.
4147 # set sort_alias=alias
4154 # Specifies how the entries in the ``alias'' menu are sorted. The
4155 # following are legal values:
4156 # - address (sort alphabetically by email address)
4157 # - alias (sort alphabetically by alias name)
4158 # - unsorted (leave in order specified in .muttrc)
4168 # When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted
4169 # in relation to other threads, and how the branches of the thread trees
4170 # are sorted. This can be set to any value that $sort can, except
4171 # ``threads'' (in that case, mutt will just use ``date-sent''). You can also
4172 # specify the ``last-'' prefix in addition to the ``reverse-'' prefix, but ``last-''
4173 # must come after ``reverse-''. The ``last-'' prefix causes messages to be
4174 # sorted against its siblings by which has the last descendant, using
4175 # the rest of $sort_aux as an ordering. For instance,
4176 # set sort_aux=last-date-received
4178 # would mean that if a new message is received in a
4179 # thread, that thread becomes the last one displayed (or the first, if
4180 # you have ``set sort=reverse-threads''.)
4182 # Note: For reversed $sort
4183 # order $sort_aux is reversed again (which is not the right thing to do,
4184 # but kept to not break any existing configuration setting).
4187 # set sort_browser=alpha
4189 # Name: sort_browser
4194 # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the
4195 # entries are sorted alphabetically. Valid values:
4196 # - alpha (alphabetically)
4202 # You may optionally use the ``reverse-'' prefix to specify reverse sorting
4203 # order (example: ``set sort_browser=reverse-date'').
4213 # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with
4214 # $strict_threads unset. In that case, it changes the heuristic
4215 # mutt uses to thread messages by subject. With $sort_re set, mutt will
4216 # only attach a message as the child of another message by subject if
4217 # the subject of the child message starts with a substring matching the
4218 # setting of $reply_regexp. With $sort_re unset, mutt will attach
4219 # the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the
4220 # non-$reply_regexp parts of both messages are identical.
4223 # set spam_separator=","
4225 # Name: spam_separator
4230 # This variable controls what happens when multiple spam headers
4231 # are matched: if unset, each successive header will overwrite any
4232 # previous matches value for the spam label. If set, each successive
4233 # match will append to the previous, using this variable's value as a
4244 # If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt cannot find
4245 # it, you can specify its location with this variable. Mutt will
4246 # automatically set this variable to the value of the environment
4247 # variable $MAIL if it is not set.
4250 # set status_chars="-*%A"
4252 # Name: status_chars
4257 # Controls the characters used by the ``%r'' indicator in
4258 # $status_format. The first character is used when the mailbox is
4259 # unchanged. The second is used when the mailbox has been changed, and
4260 # it needs to be resynchronized. The third is used if the mailbox is in
4261 # read-only mode, or if the mailbox will not be written when exiting
4262 # that mailbox (You can toggle whether to write changes to a mailbox
4263 # with the <toggle-write> operation, bound by default to ``%''). The fourth
4264 # is used to indicate that the current folder has been opened in attach-
4265 # message mode (Certain operations like composing a new mail, replying,
4266 # forwarding, etc. are not permitted in this mode).
4269 # 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)---"
4271 # Name: status_format
4273 # Default: "-%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)---"
4276 # Controls the format of the status line displayed in the ``index''
4277 # menu. This string is similar to $index_format, but has its own
4278 # set of printf(3)-like sequences:
4279 # %b number of mailboxes with new mail *
4280 # %d number of deleted messages *
4281 # %f the full pathname of the current mailbox
4282 # %F number of flagged messages *
4284 # %l size (in bytes) of the current mailbox *
4285 # %L size (in bytes) of the messages shown
4286 # (i.e., which match the current limit) *
4287 # %m the number of messages in the mailbox *
4288 # %M the number of messages shown (i.e., which match the current limit) *
4289 # %n number of new messages in the mailbox *
4290 # %o number of old unread messages *
4291 # %p number of postponed messages *
4292 # %P percentage of the way through the index

4294 # according to $status_chars
4295 # %s current sorting mode ($sort)
4296 # %S current aux sorting method ($sort_aux)
4297 # %t number of tagged messages *
4298 # %u number of unread messages *
4299 # %v Mutt version string
4300 # %V currently active limit pattern, if any *
4301 # %>X right justify the rest of the string and pad with ``X''
4302 # %|X pad to the end of the line with ``X''
4303 # %*X soft-fill with character ``X'' as pad
4306 # For an explanation of ``soft-fill'', see the $index_format documentation.
4308 # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
4310 # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string
4311 # if their value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the
4312 # number of flagged messages if such messages exist, since zero is not
4313 # particularly meaningful. To optionally print a string based upon one
4314 # of the above sequences, the following construct is used:
4316 # %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
4318 # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and
4319 # optional_string is the string you would like printed if
4320 # sequence_char is nonzero. optional_string may contain
4321 # other sequences as well as normal text, but you may not nest
4324 # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of
4325 # new messages in a mailbox:
4327 # %?n?%n new messages.?
4329 # You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
4331 # %?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
4333 # If the value of sequence_char is non-zero, if_string will
4334 # be expanded, otherwise else_string will be expanded.
4336 # You can force the result of any printf(3)-like sequence to be lowercase
4337 # by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (``_'') sign.
4338 # For example, if you want to display the local hostname in lowercase,
4339 # you would use: ``%_h''.
4341 # If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (``:'') character, mutt
4342 # will replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful
4343 # with IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.
4346 # set status_on_top=no
4348 # Name: status_on_top
4353 # Setting this variable causes the ``status bar'' to be displayed on
4354 # the first line of the screen rather than near the bottom. If $help
4355 # is set, too it'll be placed at the bottom.
4358 # set strict_threads=no
4360 # Name: strict_threads
4365 # If set, threading will only make use of the ``In-Reply-To'' and
4366 # ``References:'' fields when you $sort by message threads. By
4367 # default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in
4368 # ``pseudo threads.''. This may not always be desirable, such as in a
4369 # personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with
4370 # the subjects like ``hi'' which will get grouped together. See also
4371 # $sort_re for a less drastic way of controlling this
4382 # When unset, mutt won't stop when the user presses the terminal's
4383 # susp key, usually ``^Z''. This is useful if you run mutt
4384 # inside an xterm using a command like ``xterm -e mutt''.
4387 # set text_flowed=no
4394 # When set, mutt will generate ``format=flowed'' bodies with a content type
4395 # of ``text/plain; format=flowed''.
4396 # This format is easier to handle for some mailing software, and generally
4397 # just looks like ordinary text. To actually make use of this format's
4398 # features, you'll need support in your editor.
4400 # Note that $indent_string is ignored when this option is set.
4403 # set thread_received=no
4405 # Name: thread_received
4410 # When set, mutt uses the date received rather than the date sent
4411 # to thread messages by subject.
4414 # set thorough_search=no
4416 # Name: thorough_search
4421 # Affects the ~b and ~h search operations described in
4422 # section ``patterns''. If set, the headers and body/attachments of
4423 # messages to be searched are decoded before searching. If unset,
4424 # messages are searched as they appear in the folder.
4426 # Users searching attachments or for non-ASCII characters should set
4427 # this value because decoding also includes MIME parsing/decoding and possible
4428 # character set conversions. Otherwise mutt will attempt to match against the
4429 # raw message received (for example quoted-printable encoded or with encoded
4430 # headers) which may lead to incorrect search results.
4440 # When set, the internal-pager will pad blank lines to the bottom of the
4441 # screen with a tilde (``~'').
4451 # Along with $read_inc, $write_inc, and $net_inc, this
4452 # variable controls the frequency with which progress updates are
4453 # displayed. It suppresses updates less than $time_inc milliseconds
4454 # apart. This can improve throughput on systems with slow terminals,
4455 # or when running mutt on a remote system.
4457 # Also see the ``tuning'' section of the manual for performance considerations.
4467 # When Mutt is waiting for user input either idleing in menus or
4468 # in an interactive prompt, Mutt would block until input is
4469 # present. Depending on the context, this would prevent certain
4470 # operations from working, like checking for new mail or keeping
4471 # an IMAP connection alive.
4473 # This variable controls how many seconds Mutt will at most wait
4474 # until it aborts waiting for input, performs these operations and
4475 # continues to wait for input.
4477 # A value of zero or less will cause Mutt to never time out.
4487 # This variable allows you to specify where Mutt will place its
4488 # temporary files needed for displaying and composing messages. If
4489 # this variable is not set, the environment variable $TMPDIR is
4490 # used. If $TMPDIR is not set then ``/tmp'' is used.
4493 # set to_chars=" +TCFL"
4500 # Controls the character used to indicate mail addressed to you. The
4501 # first character is the one used when the mail is not addressed to your
4502 # address. The second is used when you are the only
4503 # recipient of the message. The third is when your address
4504 # appears in the ``To:'' header field, but you are not the only recipient of
4505 # the message. The fourth character is used when your
4506 # address is specified in the ``Cc:'' header field, but you are not the only
4507 # recipient. The fifth character is used to indicate mail that was sent
4508 # by you. The sixth character is used to indicate when a mail
4509 # was sent to a mailing-list you subscribe to.
4519 # If set, this variable specifies the path of the trash folder where the
4520 # mails marked for deletion will be moved, instead of being irremediably
4523 # NOTE: When you delete a message in the trash folder, it is really
4524 # deleted, so that you have a way to clean the trash.
4534 # Setting this variable will cause mutt to open a pipe to a command
4535 # instead of a raw socket. You may be able to use this to set up
4536 # preauthenticated connections to your IMAP/POP3/SMTP server. Example:
4537 # set tunnel="ssh -q mailhost.net /usr/local/libexec/imapd"
4539 # Note: For this example to work you must be able to log in to the remote
4540 # machine without having to enter a password.
4543 # set use_8bitmime=no
4545 # Name: use_8bitmime
4550 # Warning: do not set this variable unless you are using a version
4551 # of sendmail which supports the -B8BITMIME flag (such as sendmail
4552 # 8.8.x) or you may not be able to send mail.
4554 # When set, Mutt will invoke $sendmail with the -B8BITMIME
4555 # flag when sending 8-bit messages to enable ESMTP negotiation.
4558 # set use_domain=yes
4565 # When set, Mutt will qualify all local addresses (ones without the
4566 # ``@host'' portion) with the value of $hostname. If unset, no
4567 # addresses will be qualified.
4570 # set use_envelope_from=no
4572 # Name: use_envelope_from
4577 # When set, mutt will set the envelope sender of the message.
4578 # If $envelope_from_address is set, it will be used as the sender
4579 # address. If unset, mutt will attempt to derive the sender from the
4582 # Note that this information is passed to sendmail command using the
4583 # -f command line switch. Therefore setting this option is not useful
4584 # if the $sendmail variable already contains -f or if the
4585 # executable pointed to by $sendmail doesn't support the -f switch.
4595 # When set, Mutt will generate the ``From:'' header field when
4596 # sending messages. If unset, no ``From:'' header field will be
4597 # generated unless the user explicitly sets one using the ``my_hdr''
4608 # When set, Mutt will show you international domain names decoded.
4609 # Note: You can use IDNs for addresses even if this is unset.
4610 # This variable only affects decoding.
4620 # When set, Mutt will look for IPv6 addresses of hosts it tries to
4621 # contact. If this option is unset, Mutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses.
4622 # Normally, the default should work.
4625 # set user_agent=yes
4632 # When set, mutt will add a ``User-Agent:'' header to outgoing
4633 # messages, indicating which version of mutt was used for composing
4644 # Specifies the visual editor to invoke when the ``~v'' command is
4645 # given in the builtin editor.
4655 # Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after an external command
4656 # has been invoked by these functions: <shell-escape>,
4657 # <pipe-message>, <pipe-entry>, <print-message>,
4658 # and <print-entry> commands.
4660 # It is also used when viewing attachments with ``auto_view'', provided
4661 # that the corresponding mailcap entry has a needsterminal flag,
4662 # and the external program is interactive.
4664 # When set, Mutt will always ask for a key. When unset, Mutt will wait
4665 # for a key only if the external command returned a non-zero status.
4675 # When set, mutt will weed headers when displaying, forwarding,
4676 # printing, or replying to messages.
4686 # When set to a positive value, mutt will wrap text at $wrap characters.
4687 # When set to a negative value, mutt will wrap text so that there are $wrap
4688 # characters of empty space on the right side of the terminal.
4691 # set wrap_search=yes
4698 # Controls whether searches wrap around the end.
4700 # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When
4701 # unset, incremental searches will not wrap.
4711 # (DEPRECATED) Equivalent to setting $wrap with a negative value.
4721 # When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every
4722 # $write_inc messages to indicate progress. If set to 0, only a
