Mutt is a text-based application which interacts with users through
different menus which are mostly line-/entry-based or page-based. A
line-based menu is the so-called “<span class="quote">index</span>” menu (listing all messages of
informational and error messages as well as for prompts and for entering
interactive commands.
</p><p>
+Mutt is configured through variables which, if the user wants to
+permanently use a non-default value, are written to configuration
+files. Mutt supports a rich config file syntax to make even complex
+configuration files readable and commentable.
+</p><p>
Because Mutt allows for customizing almost all key bindings, there are
so-called “<span class="quote">functions</span>” which can be executed manually (using the
command line) or in macros. Macros allow the user to bind a sequence of
behaviour including managing multiple identities, customizing the
display for a folder or even implementing auto-archiving based on a
per-folder basis and much more.

+The index is the screen that you usually see first when you start
+Mutt. It gives an overview over your emails in the currently opened
+mailbox. By default, this is your system mailbox. The information you
+see in the index is a list of emails, each with its number on the left,
+its flags (new email, important email, email that has been forwarded or
+replied to, tagged email, ...), the date when email was sent, its
+sender, the email size, and the subject. Additionally, the index also
+shows thread hierarchies: when you reply to an email, and the other
+person replies back, you can see the other's person email in a
+"sub-tree" below. This is especially useful for personal email between
+a group of people or when you've subscribed to mailing lists.
+</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="intro-pager"></a>2.2. Pager</h3></div></div></div><p>
+The pager is responsible for showing the email content. On the top of
+the pager you have an overview over the most important email headers
+like the sender, the recipient, the subject, and much more
+information. How much information you actually see depends on your
+configuration, which we'll describe below.
+</p><p>
+Below the headers, you see the email body which usually contains the
+message. If the email contains any attachments, you will see more
+information about them below the email body, or, if the attachments are
+text files, you can view them directly in the pager.
+</p><p>
+To give the user a good overview, it is possible to configure Mutt to
+show different things in the pager with different colors. Virtually
+everything that can be described with a regular expression can be
+colored, e.g. URLs, email addresses or smileys.
+</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="intro-browser"></a>2.3. File Browser</h3></div></div></div><p>
+The file browser is the interface to the local or remote file
+system. When selecting a mailbox to open, the browser allows custom
+sorting of items, limiting the items shown by a regular expression and a
+freely adjustable format of what to display in which way. It also allows
+for easy navigation through the file system when selecting file(s) to
+attach to a message, select multiple files to attach and many more.
+</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="intro-help"></a>2.4. Help</h3></div></div></div><p>
+The help screen is meant to offer a quick help to the user. It lists the
+current configuration of key bindings and their associated commands
+including a short description, and currently unbound functions that
+still need to be associated with a key binding (or alternatively, they
+can be called via the Mutt command prompt).
+</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="intro-compose"></a>2.5. Compose Menu</h3></div></div></div><p>
+The compose menu features a split screen containing the information
+which really matter before actually sending a message by mail: who gets
+the message as what (recipients and who gets what kind of
+copy). Additionally, users may set security options like deciding
+whether to sign, encrypt or sign and encrypt a message with/for what
+keys. Also, it's used to attach messages, to re-edit any attachment
+including the message itself.
+</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="intro-alias"></a>2.6. Alias Menu</h3></div></div></div><p>
+The alias menu is used to help users finding the recipients of
+messages. For users who need to contact many people, there's no need to
+remember addresses or names completely because it allows for searching,
+too. The alias mechanism and thus the alias menu also features grouping
+several addresses by a shorter nickname, the actual alias, so that users
+don't have to select each single recipient manually.
+</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="intro-attach"></a>2.7. Attachment Menu</h3></div></div></div><p>
+As will be later discussed in detail, Mutt features a good and stable
+MIME implementation, that is, it supports sending and receiving messages
+of arbitrary MIME types. The attachment menu displays a message's
+structure in detail: what content parts are attached to which parent
+part (which gives a true tree structure), which type is of what type and
+what size. Single parts may saved, deleted or modified to offer great
+and easy access to message's internals.

Mutt maintains several distinct history lists, one for each of the
following categories:
-</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>

+Mutt automatically filters out consecutively repeated items from the history. It
also mimics the behavior of some shells by ignoring items starting
with a space. The latter feature can be useful in macros to not clobber
the history's valuable entries with unwanted entries.

Similar to many other mail clients, there are two modes in which mail is

modes.

+In addition to key bindings in <a class="xref" href="#tab-key-pager" title="Table 2.7. Most common pager keys">Table 2.7, “Most common pager keys”</a>,
many of the functions from the index menu are also available in
the pager, such as <code class="literal"><delete-message></code> or <code class="literal"><copy-message></code>
(this is one advantage over using an external pager to view messages).
Also, the internal pager supports a couple other advanced features. For
one, it will accept and translate the “<span class="quote">standard</span>” nroff sequences for
bold and underline. These sequences are a series of either the letter,
-backspace (^H), the letter again for bold or the letter, backspace,
+backspace (“<span class="quote">^H</span>”), the letter again for bold or the letter, backspace,
“<span class="quote">_</span>” for denoting underline. Mutt will attempt to display these
in bold and underline respectively if your terminal supports them. If
-not, you can use the bold and underline <a class="link" href="#color" title="9. Using color and mono video attributes">color</a>
-objects to specify a color or mono attribute for them.
+not, you can use the bold and underline <a class="link" href="#color" title="9. Using Color and Mono Video Attributes">color</a>
+objects to specify a <span class="command"><strong>color</strong></span> or mono attribute for them.
</p><p>
Additionally, the internal pager supports the ANSI escape sequences for
character attributes. Mutt translates them into the correct color and
\e[<span class="emphasis"><em>Ps</em></span>;<span class="emphasis"><em>Ps</em></span>;..<span class="emphasis"><em>Ps</em></span>;m

Collapsing a thread displays only the first message
in the thread and hides the others. This is useful when threads
contain so many messages that you can only see a handful of threads on
-the screen. See %M in <a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.101. index_format">$index_format</a>.

-position, use the <code class="literal"><insert></code> function. To append a remailer behind

While the default configuration (or “<span class="quote">preferences</span>”) make Mutt
usable right out of the box, it is often desirable to tailor Mutt to
suit your own tastes. When Mutt is first invoked, it will attempt to

The hash mark, or pound sign

-Single quotes (') and double quotes (") can be used to quote strings
+Single quotes (“<span class="quote">'</span>”) and double quotes (“<span class="quote">"</span>”) can be used to quote strings
which contain spaces or other special characters. The difference between
the two types of quotes is similar to that of many popular shell programs,
namely that a single quote is used to specify a literal string (one that is
not interpreted for shell variables or quoting with a backslash [see
next paragraph]), while double quotes indicate a string for which
should be evaluated. For example, backticks are evaluated inside of double
-quotes, but <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span> for single quotes.

+“<span class="quote">\</span>” quotes the next character, just as in shells such as bash and zsh.
For example, if want to put quotes “<span class="quote">"</span>” inside of a string, you can use
“<span class="quote">\</span>” to force the next character to be a literal instead of interpreted
character.
“<span class="quote">\n</span>” and “<span class="quote">\r</span>” have their usual C meanings of linefeed and
carriage-return, respectively.

It is also possible to substitute the output of a Unix command in an
initialization file. This is accomplished by enclosing the command in
-backticks (``). For example,
-</p><div class="example"><a id="ex-rc-backtick"></a><p class="title"><b>Example 3.4. Using external command's output in configuration files</b></p><div class="example-contents"><pre class="screen">

-The output of the Unix command “<span class="quote">uname -a</span>” will be substituted before the

Mutt has a few nice features for <a class="link" href="#using-lists" title="8. Handling Mailing Lists">handling mailing lists</a>. In order to take advantage of them, you must
specify which addresses belong to mailing lists, and which mailing
-lists you are subscribed to. Once you have done this, the <a class="link" href="#list-reply"><code class="literal"><list-reply></code></a> function will work for all known lists.

+auto-detecting mailing lists: it supports parsing

+<code class="literal">List-Post:</code> header which has the same effect as
+specifying the list address via the <span class="command"><strong>lists</strong></span> command
+(except the group feature). Once you have done this, the
+<a class="link" href="#list-reply"><code class="literal"><list-reply></code></a>
+function will work for all known lists.
+Additionally, when you send a message to a subscribed list, Mutt will
add a Mail-Followup-To header to tell other users' mail user agents
not to send copies of replies to your personal address.

supported by all mail user agents. Adding it is not bullet-proof against
receiving personal CCs of list messages. Also note that the generation
of the Mail-Followup-To header is controlled by the

+<a class="link" href="#followup-to" title="3.68. followup_to">$followup_to</a>
+configuration variable since it's common practice on some mailing lists
+to send Cc upons replies (which is more a group- than a list-reply).
</p></div><p>
More precisely, Mutt maintains lists of patterns for the addresses
of known and subscribed mailing lists. Every subscribed mailing

-that this is a mailing list, you could add “<span class="quote">lists mutt-users@</span>” to your

If you also happen to get mail from someone whose address is

match only mail from the actual list.

The <code class="literal">-group</code> flag adds all of the subsequent regular expressions

Mutt has generalized support for external spam-scoring filters.
-By defining your spam patterns with the <code class="literal">spam</code> and <code class="literal">nospam</code>
+By defining your spam patterns with the <span class="command"><strong>spam</strong></span> and <code class="literal">nospam</code>
commands, you can <span class="emphasis"><em>limit</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>search</em></span>, and <span class="emphasis"><em>sort</em></span> your
mail based on its spam attributes, as determined by the external
filter. You also can display the spam attributes in your index
-display using the <code class="literal">%H</code> selector in the <a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.101. index_format">$index_format</a> variable. (Tip: try <code class="literal">%?H?[%H] ?</code>
+display using the <code class="literal">%H</code> selector in the <a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.114. index_format">$index_format</a> variable. (Tip: try <code class="literal">%?H?[%H] ?</code>
to display spam tags only when they are defined for a given message.)
</p><p>
Your first step is to define your external filter's spam patterns using
-the <code class="literal">spam</code> command. <span class="emphasis"><em>pattern</em></span> should be a regular expression
+the <span class="command"><strong>spam</strong></span> command. <span class="emphasis"><em>pattern</em></span> should be a regular expression
that matches a header in a mail message. If any message in the mailbox
matches this regular expression, it will receive a “<span class="quote">spam tag</span>” or
-“<span class="quote">spam attribute</span>” (unless it also matches a <code class="literal">nospam</code> pattern -- see
+“<span class="quote">spam attribute</span>” (unless it also matches a <span class="command"><strong>nospam</strong></span> pattern — see
below.) The appearance of this attribute is entirely up to you, and is
governed by the <span class="emphasis"><em>format</em></span> parameter. <span class="emphasis"><em>format</em></span> can be any static
text, but it also can include back-references from the <span class="emphasis"><em>pattern</em></span>
sub-expression contained within parentheses.) <code class="literal">%1</code> is replaced with
the first back-reference in the regex, <code class="literal">%2</code> with the second, etc.
</p><p>
+To match spam tags, mutt needs the corresponding header information
+which is always the case for local and POP folders but not for IMAP in
+the default configuration. Depending on the spam header to be analyzed,
+<a class="link" href="#imap-headers" title="3.99. imap_headers">$imap_headers</a> may need
+to be adjusted.
+</p><p>
If you're using multiple spam filters, a message can have more than
-one spam-related header. You can define <code class="literal">spam</code> patterns for each
+one spam-related header. You can define <span class="command"><strong>spam</strong></span> patterns for each
filter you use. If a message matches two or more of these patterns, and
-the $spam_separator variable is set to a string, then the
+the <a class="link" href="#spam-separator" title="3.268. spam_separator">$spam_separator</a> variable is set to a string, then the
message's spam tag will consist of all the <span class="emphasis"><em>format</em></span> strings joined
-together, with the value of $spam_separator separating
+together, with the value of <a class="link" href="#spam-separator" title="3.268. spam_separator">$spam_separator</a> separating
them.
</p><p>

-define these spam settings:

<code class="literal">90+/DCC-Fuz2, 97/PM</code>. (The four characters before “<span class="quote">=many</span>” in a
-DCC report indicate the checksum used -- in this case, “<span class="quote">Fuz2</span>”.)

spam pattern match supersedes the previous one. Instead of getting
joined <span class="emphasis"><em>format</em></span> strings, you'll get only the last one to match.
</p><p>
The spam tag is what will be displayed in the index when you use

<code class="literal"><search></code> and <code class="literal"><limit></code> functions. And it's what sorting by spam

</p><p>

upward. Finally, non-numeric strings are sorted, with “<span class="quote">a</span>” taking lower
priority than “<span class="quote">z</span>”. Clearly, in general, sorting by spam tags is most
effective when you can coerce your filter to give you a raw number. But

Basic usage</h3></div></div></div><p>
Format strings are a general concept you'll find in several locations
-through the mutt configuration, especially in the
-<a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.101. index_format">$index_format</a>,
-<a class="link" href="#pager-format" title="3.140. pager_format">$pager_format</a>,
-<a class="link" href="#status-format" title="3.279. status_format">$status_format</a>,
-and other “<span class="quote">*_format</span>” variables. These can be very straightforward,
+through the Mutt configuration, especially in the
+<a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.114. index_format">$index_format</a>,
+<a class="link" href="#pager-format" title="3.150. pager_format">$pager_format</a>,
+<a class="link" href="#status-format" title="3.282. status_format">$status_format</a>,
+and other related variables. These can be very straightforward,
and it's quite possible you already know how to use them.
</p><p>
The most basic format string element is a percent symbol followed
by another character. For example, <code class="literal">%s</code>
-represents a message's Subject: header in the <a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.101. index_format">$index_format</a> variable. The
+represents a message's Subject: header in the <a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.114. index_format">$index_format</a> variable. The
“<span class="quote">expandos</span>” available are documented with each format variable, but
there are general modifiers available with all formatting expandos,
too. Those are our concern here.
</p><p>
Some of the modifiers are borrowed right out of C (though you might
know them from Perl, Python, shell, or another language). These are
-the [-]m.n modifiers, as in <code class="literal">%-12.12s</code>. As with
+the <code class="literal">[-]m.n</code> modifiers, as in <code class="literal">%-12.12s</code>. As with
such programming languages, these modifiers allow you to specify the
minimum and maximum size of the resulting string, as well as its
justification. If the “<span class="quote">-</span>” sign follows the percent, the string will
be left-justified instead of right-justified. If there's a number
immediately following that, it's the minimum amount of space the
-formatted string will occupy -- if it's naturally smaller than that, it

will be padded out with spaces. If a decimal point and another number

permitted to exceed that width, no matter its natural size. Each of
these three elements is optional, so that all these are legal format
-strings:
-<code class="literal">%-12s</code>
-<code class="literal">%4c</code>
-<code class="literal">%.15F</code>

+strings: <code class="literal">%-12s</code>, <code class="literal">%4c</code>,
+<code class="literal">%.15F</code> and <code class="literal">%-12.15L</code>.
</p><p>
Mutt adds some other modifiers to format strings. If you use an equals
symbol (<code class="literal">=</code>) as a numeric prefix (like the minus
above), it will force the string to be centered within its minimum
space range. For example, <code class="literal">%=14y</code> will reserve 14
-characters for the %y expansion -- that's the X-Label: header, in
-<code class="literal">$index_format</code>. If the expansion

results in a string less than 14 characters, it will be centered in a
-14-character space. If the X-Label for a message were "test", that

+14-character space. If the X-Label for a message were “<span class="quote">test</span>”, that
+expansion would look like “<span class="quote"> test </span>”.
</p><p>
There are two very little-known modifiers that affect the way that an
expando is replaced. If there is an underline (“<span class="quote">_</span>”) character
between any format modifiers (as above) and the expando letter, it will
expands in all lower case. And if you use a colon (“<span class="quote">:</span>”), it will
replace all decimal points with underlines.

+Depending on the format string variable, some of its sequences can be
+used to optionally print a string if their value is nonzero. For
+example, you may only want to see the number of flagged messages if such
+messages exist, since zero is not particularly meaningful. To optionally
+print a string based upon one of the above sequences, the following
+construct is used:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+%?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?</pre><p>
+where <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is an expando, and
+<span class="emphasis"><em>optional_string</em></span> is the string you would like printed if
+<span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is nonzero.
+<span class="emphasis"><em>optional_string</em></span> may contain other
+sequences as well as normal text, but you may not nest optional
+strings.
+</p><p>
+Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of
+new messages in a mailbox in
+<a class="link" href="#status-format" title="3.282. status_format">$status_format</a>:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+%?n?%n new messages.?</pre><p>
+You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+%?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?</pre><p>
+If the value of <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is
+non-zero, <span class="emphasis"><em>if_string</em></span> will be expanded,
+otherwise <span class="emphasis"><em>else_string</em></span> will be expanded.

Any format string ending in a vertical bar (“<span class="quote">|</span>”) will be
expanded and piped through the first word in the string, using spaces
as separator. The string returned will be used for display.

All % expandos in a format string are expanded before the script
is called so that:

+In most format strings, Mutt supports different types of padding using
+special %-expandos:
+</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">%|X</code></span></dt><dd><p>
+When this occurs, Mutt will fill the rest of the
+line with the character <code class="literal">X</code>. For
+example, filling the rest of the line with dashes is
+done by setting:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+set status_format = "%v on %h: %B: %?n?%n&no? new messages %|-"</pre></dd><dt><span class="term">
+<code class="literal">%>X</code>
+</span></dt><dd><p>
+Since the previous expando stops at the end of line, there must be a way
+to fill the gap between two items via the <code class="literal">%>X</code>
+expando: it puts as many characters <code class="literal">X</code> in between two
+items so that the rest of the line will be right-justified. For example,
+to not put the version string and hostname the above example on the left
+but on the right and fill the gap with spaces, one might use (note the
+space after <code class="literal">%></code>):
+</p><pre class="screen">
+set status_format = "%B: %?n?%n&no? new messages %> (%v on %h)"</pre></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">%*X</code>
+</span></dt><dd><p>
+Normal right-justification will print everything to the left of the
+<code class="literal">%></code>, displaying padding and whatever lies to the
+right only if there's room. By contrast, “<span class="quote">soft-fill</span>” gives
+priority to the right-hand side, guaranteeing space to display it and
+showing padding only if there's still room. If necessary, soft-fill will
+eat text leftwards to make room for rightward text. For example, to
+right-justify the subject making sure as much as possible of it fits on
+screen, one might use (note two spaces after <code class="literal">%*
+</code>: the second ensures there's a space between the truncated
+right-hand side and the subject):

Mutt's parser for these patterns will strip one level of backslash (“<span class="quote">\</span>”),

instead of a regular expression by using = instead of ˜ in the
pattern name. For example, <code class="literal">=b *.*</code> will find all messages that contain
the literal string “<span class="quote">*.*</span>”. Simple string matches are less powerful than
regular expressions but can be considerably faster. This is especially
true for IMAP folders, because string matches can be performed on the
server instead of by fetching every message. IMAP treats <code class="literal">=h</code> specially:

Mutt also recognizes the following operators to create more complex search
patterns:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
-! -- logical NOT operator

-| -- logical OR operator

+() — logical grouping operator
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Here is an example illustrating a complex search pattern. This pattern will
select all messages which do not contain “<span class="quote">mutt</span>” in the “<span class="quote">To</span>” or “<span class="quote">Cc</span>”
field and which are from “<span class="quote">elkins</span>”.

Mutt has a few configuration options that make dealing with large
amounts of mail easier. The first thing you must do is to let Mutt
know what addresses you consider to be mailing lists (technically
this does not have to be a mailing list, but that is what it is most
often used for), and what lists you are subscribed to. This is
-accomplished through the use of the <a class="link" href="#lists" title="12. Mailing lists">lists and subscribe</a> commands in your muttrc.
+accomplished through the use of the <a class="link" href="#lists" title="12. Mailing Lists"><span class="command"><strong>lists</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>subscribe</strong></span></a> commands in your <code class="literal">.muttrc</code>.
</p><p>
Now that Mutt knows what your mailing lists are, it can do several
things, the first of which is the ability to show the name of a list
through which you received a message (i.e., of a subscribed list) in
the <span class="emphasis"><em>index</em></span> menu display. This is useful to distinguish between
-personal and list mail in the same mailbox. In the <a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.101. index_format">$index_format</a> variable, the escape “<span class="quote">%L</span>”
-will return the string “<span class="quote">To <list></span>” when “<span class="quote">list</span>” appears in the
+personal and list mail in the same mailbox. In the <a class="link" href="#index-format" title="3.114. index_format">$index_format</a> variable, the expando “<span class="quote">%L</span>”
+will print the string “<span class="quote">To <list></span>” when “<span class="quote">list</span>” appears in the
“<span class="quote">To</span>” field, and “<span class="quote">Cc <list></span>” when it appears in the “<span class="quote">Cc</span>”
-field (otherwise it returns the name of the author).
+field (otherwise it prints the name of the author).
</p><p>
Often times the “<span class="quote">To</span>” and “<span class="quote">Cc</span>” fields in mailing list messages
tend to get quite large. Most people do not bother to remove the
</p><p>
Mutt also supports the <code class="literal">Mail-Followup-To</code> header. When you send
a message to a list of recipients which includes one or several
-subscribed mailing lists, and if the <a class="link" href="#followup-to" title="3.60. followup_to">$followup_to</a> option is set, mutt will generate
+subscribed mailing lists, and if the <a class="link" href="#followup-to" title="3.68. followup_to">$followup_to</a> option is set, Mutt will generate
a Mail-Followup-To header which contains all the recipients to whom
you send this message, but not your address. This indicates that
group-replies or list-replies (also known as “<span class="quote">followups</span>”) to this
one of the mailing lists you are subscribed to.
</p><p>
Conversely, when group-replying or list-replying to a message which
-has a <code class="literal">Mail-Followup-To</code> header, mutt will respect this header if
-the <a class="link" href="#honor-followup-to" title="3.79. honor_followup_to">$honor_followup_to</a> configuration

that the reply goes to the mailing list, even if it's not specified

than the author of the message. This can create problems when trying
to reply directly to the author in private, since most mail clients
will automatically reply to the address given in the “<span class="quote">Reply-To</span>”
-field. Mutt uses the <a class="link" href="#reply-to" title="3.243. reply_to">$reply_to</a>
+field. Mutt uses the <a class="link" href="#reply-to" title="3.214. reply_to">$reply_to</a>

<span class="emphasis"><em>ask-no</em></span>, you will be
prompted as to whether or not you would like to use the address given in

The “<span class="quote">X-Label:</span>” header field can be used to further identify mailing
lists or list subject matter (or just to annotate messages

index, and Mutt's pattern-matcher can match regular expressions to
“<span class="quote">X-Label:</span>” fields with the “<span class="quote">˜y</span>” selector. “<span class="quote">X-Label:</span>” is not a
standard message header field, but it can easily be inserted by procmail
and other mail filtering agents.

-Lastly, Mutt has the ability to <a class="link" href="#sort" title="3.271. sort">sort</a> the mailbox into

can lead to security problems in general. Mutt tries to quote parameters

+You may also have compiled Mutt to co-operate with Mixmaster, an
+anonymous remailer. Mixmaster permits you to send your messages
+anonymously using a chain of remailers. Mixmaster support in Mutt is for
+mixmaster version 2.04 (beta 45 appears to be the latest) and 2.03.
+It does not support earlier versions or the later so-called version 3 betas,
+of which the latest appears to be called 2.9b23.
+</p><p>
+To use it, you'll have to obey certain restrictions. Most
+important, you cannot use the <code class="literal">Cc</code> and <code class="literal">Bcc</code> headers. To tell
+Mutt to use mixmaster, you have to select a remailer chain, using
+the mix function on the compose menu.
+</p><p>
+The chain selection screen is divided into two parts. In the
+(larger) upper part, you get a list of remailers you may use. In
+the lower part, you see the currently selected chain of remailers.
+</p><p>
+You can navigate in the chain using the <code class="literal"><chain-prev></code> and
+<code class="literal"><chain-next></code> functions, which are by default bound to the left
+and right arrows and to the <code class="literal">h</code> and <code class="literal">l</code> keys (think vi
+keyboard bindings). To insert a remailer at the current chain
+position, use the <code class="literal"><insert></code> function. To append a remailer behind
+the current chain position, use <code class="literal"><select-entry></code> or <code class="literal"><append></code>.
+You can also delete entries from the chain, using the corresponding
+function. Finally, to abandon your changes, leave the menu, or
+<code class="literal"><accept></code> them pressing (by default) the <code class="literal">Return</code> key.
+</p><p>
+Note that different remailers do have different capabilities,
+indicated in the %c entry of the remailer menu lines (see
+<a class="link" href="#mix-entry-format" title="3.143. mix_entry_format">$mix_entry_format</a>). Most important is
+the “<span class="quote">middleman</span>” capability, indicated by a capital “<span class="quote">M</span>”: This
+means that the remailer in question cannot be used as the final
+element of a chain, but will only forward messages to other
+mixmaster remailers. For details on the other capabilities, please
+have a look at the mixmaster documentation.

+First of all, Mutt contains no security holes included by intention but
+may contain unknown security holes. As a consequence, please run Mutt
+only with as few permissions as possible. Especially, do not run Mutt as
+the super user.
+</p><p>
+When configuring Mutt, there're some points to note about secure setups
+so please read this chapter carefully.
+</p><div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="security-passwords"></a>1. Passwords</h2></div></div></div><p>
+Although Mutt can be told the various passwords for accounts, please
+never store passwords in configuration files. Besides the fact that the
+system's operator can always read them, you could forget to mask it out
+when reporting a bug or asking for help via a mailing list. Even worse,
+your mail including your password could be archived by internet search
+engines, mail-to-news gateways etc. It may already be too late before
+you notice your mistake.
+</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="security-tempfiles"></a>2. Temporary Files</h2></div></div></div><p>
+Mutt uses many temporary files for viewing messages, verifying digital
+signatures, etc. As long as being used, these files are visible by other
+users and maybe even readable in case of misconfiguration. Also, a
+different location for these files may be desired which can be changed
+via the <a class="link" href="#tmpdir" title="3.292. tmpdir">$tmpdir</a> variable.

Message-Id: headers</h3></div></div></div><p>
+Message-Id: headers contain a local part that is to be created in a
+unique fashion. In order to do so, Mutt will “<span class="quote">leak</span>” some
+information to the outside world when sending messages: the generation
+of this header includes a step counter which is increased (and rotated)
+with every message sent. In a longer running mutt session, others can
+make assumptions about your mailing habbits depending on the number of
+messages sent. If this is not desired, the header can be manually
+provided using <a class="link" href="#edit-headers" title="3.57. edit_headers">$edit_headers</a> (though not
+recommended).
+</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="security-leaks-mailto"></a>3.2. <code class="literal">mailto:</code>-style Links</h3></div></div></div><p>
+As Mutt be can be set up to be the mail client to handle
+<code class="literal">mailto:</code> style links in websites, there're security
+considerations, too. Arbitrary header fields can be embedded in these
+links which could override existing header fields or attach arbitrary
+files using <a class="link" href="#attach-header" title="6.2.2. Attach: Pseudo Header">the Attach:
+psuedoheader</a>. This may be problematic if the <a class="link" href="#edit-headers" title="3.57. edit_headers">$edit-headers</a> variable is
+<span class="emphasis"><em>unset</em></span>, i.e. the user doesn't want to see header
+fields while editing the message and doesn't pay enough attention to the
+compose menu's listing of attachments.
+</p><p>
+For example, following a link like
+</p><pre class="screen">
+mailto:joe@host?Attach=~/.gnupg/secring.gpg</pre><p>
+will send out the user's private gnupg keyring to
+<code class="literal">joe@host</code> if the user doesn't follow the information
+on screen carefully enough.
+</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="security-external"></a>4. External Applications</h2></div></div></div><p>
+Mutt in many places has to rely on external applications or for
+convenience supports mechanisms involving external applications.
+</p><p>
+One of these is the <code class="literal">mailcap</code> mechanism as defined by
+RfC1524. Details about a secure use of the mailcap mechanisms is given
+in <a class="xref" href="#secure-mailcap" title="3.2. Secure Use of Mailcap">Section 3.2, “Secure Use of Mailcap”</a>.
+</p><p>
+Besides the mailcap mechanism, Mutt uses a number of other external
+utilities for operation, for example to provide crypto support, in
+backtick expansion in configuration files or format string filters. The
+same security considerations apply for these as for tools involved via
+mailcap.

time on updating the progress counter than it spends on

-now, and keys and certificates are stored in two different
-directories, both named as the hash-value retrieved from
-OpenSSL. There is an index file which contains mailbox-address
-keyid pairs, and which can be manually edited. This option points to
-the location of the certificates.
