#
-# Name: ssl_min_dh_prime_bits

+# Type: boolean
+# Default: no
#
#
-# This variable specifies the minimum acceptable prime size (in bits)

-# the default from the GNUTLS library.
+# This variable controls whether or not Mutt will display the ``personal''
+# name from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that
+# matches the message's sender. For example, if you have the following
+# alias:
+# alias juser abd30425@somewhere.net (Joe User)
#
+# and then you receive mail which contains the following header:
+# From: abd30425@somewhere.net
#
-# set ssl_ca_certificates_file=""
+# It would be displayed in the index menu as ``Joe User'' instead of

#
-# Name: ssl_ca_certificates_file
-# Type: path
-# Default: ""

-# Any server certificate that is signed with one of these CA

+# It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine,

+# ``alternates''. If the variable is unset, or the address that would be
+# used doesn't match your ``alternates'', the From: line will use

#
#
-# Used in connection with the pipe-message command and the ``tag-

-# tagged messages Mutt will concatenate the messages and will pipe them
-# as a single folder. When set, Mutt will pipe the messages one by one.
-# In both cases the messages are piped in the current sorted order,
-# and the ``$pipe_sep'' separator is added after each message.
+# This variable fine-tunes the behaviour of the $reverse_name feature.
+# When it is set, mutt will use the address from incoming messages as-is,

-# first.
-#
+# When this variable is set, Mutt will decode RFC2047-encoded MIME

-# This parameter is case-insensitive. If this parameter is unset

#
-# Example: set pop_authenticators="digest-md5:apop:user"

-# fails, Mutt will not connect to the POP server.
+# When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed

+# This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved.
+# When set, a check is made to see if a mailbox specified by the

+# If set, a line containing ``-- '' (note the trailing space) will be inserted before your

#
-# Name: print_split
+# Name: sig_on_top
# Type: boolean

#
-# Used in connection with the print-message command. If this option

-#
-#
-# If you use an external ``$pager'', setting this variable will

-# set quit=yes
-#
-# Name: quit
-# Type: quadoption

-#
-# This variable controls whether ``quit'' and ``exit'' actually quit

#
#
-# A regular expression used in the internal-pager to determine quoted
-# sections of text in the body of a message.
+# Specifies how Mutt should expand a simple search into a real search
+# pattern. A simple search is one that does not contain any of the ``~'' pattern
+# operators. See ``patterns'' for more information on search patterns.
#
-# Note: In order to use the quotedx patterns in the
-# internal pager, you need to set this to a regular expression that
-# matches exactly the quote characters at the beginning of quoted
-# lines.
+# For example, if you simply type ``joe'' at a search or limit prompt, Mutt
+# will automatically expand it to the value specified by this variable by
+# replacing ``%s'' with the supplied string.
+# For the default value, ``joe'' would be expanded to: ``~f joe | ~s joe''.

-# Name: read_inc
+# Name: sleep_time
# Type: number

+# Default: 1
#
#
-# If set to a value greater than 0, Mutt will display which message it
-# is currently on when reading a mailbox or when performing search actions
-# such as search and limit. The message is printed after
-# read_inc messages have been read or searched (e.g., if set to 25, Mutt will
-# print a message when it is at message 25, and then again when it gets
-# to message 50). This variable is meant to indicate progress when
-# reading or searching large mailboxes which may take some time.
-# When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the reading
-# the mailbox.
-#
-# Also see the ``$write_inc'' variable and the ``Tuning'' section of the

+# Specifies time, in seconds, to pause while displaying certain informational

-#
-# This variable specifies what "real" or "personal" name should be used

#
-# This specifies the file into which your outgoing messages should be

-# command to create a Bcc: field with your email address in it.)
-#
-# The value of $record is overridden by the ``$force_name'' and
-# ``$save_name'' variables, and the ``fcc-hook'' command.
+# Controls the display of lines longer than the screen width in the

#
#
-# A regular expression used to recognize reply messages when threading
