for
detailed

documentation
of
the
"attachments"
command.
##
##
Removing
a
pattern
from
a
list
removes
that
pattern
literally.
It
##
does
not
remove
any
type
matching
the
pattern.
##
##
attachments
+A
*/.*
##
attachments
+A
image/jpeg
##
unattachments
+A
*/.*
##
##
This
leaves
"attached"
image/jpeg
files
on
the
allowed
attachments
##
list.
It
does
not
remove
all
items
as
you
might
expect
because
the
##
second
*/.*
is
not
a
matching
expression
at
this
time.
##
##
Remember:
"unattachments"
only
undoes
what
"attachments"
has
done!
##
It
does
not
trigger
any
matching
on
actual
messages.
##
Qualify
any
MIME
part
with
an
"attachment"
disposition
EXCEPT
for
##
text/x-vcard
and
application/pgp
parts.
(PGP
parts
are
already
known
##
to
mutt
and
can
be
searched
for
with
~g
~G
and
~k.)
##
##
I've
added
x-pkcs7
to
this
since
it
functions
(for
S/MIME)
##
analogously
to
PGP
signature
attachments.
S/MIME
isn't
supported
##
in
a
stock
mutt
build
but
we
can
still
treat
it
specially
here.

##
Discount
all
MIME
parts
with
an
"inline"
disposition
unless
they're
##
text/plain.
(Why
inline
a
text/plain
part
unless
it's
external
to
the
##
message
flow?)
##
attachments
+I
text/plain
##
These
two
lines
make
Mutt
qualify
MIME
containers.
(So
for
example
##
a
message/rfc822
forward
will
count
as
an
attachment.)
The
first
##
line
is
unnecessary
if
you
already
have
"attach-allow

of
##
course.
These
are
off
by
default!
The
MIME
elements
contained
##
within
a

or

are
still
examined
even

themseves
don't
qualify.

#
#
Name:
assumed_charset
#

Default:
""
#
#
#
This
variable
is
a
colon-separated
list
of
character
encoding
#
schemes
for
messages
without
character
encoding
indication.
#
Header
field
values
and
message
body
content
without
character
encoding
#
indication
would
be
assumed
that
they
are
written
in
one
of
this

#
By
default
all
the
header
fields
and
message
body
without
any
charset
#
indication
are
assumed
to
be
in
"us-ascii".
#
#
For
example
Japanese
users
might
prefer
this:
#
#
set
assumed_charset="iso-2022-jp:euc-jp:shift_jis:utf-8"
#
#
However
only
the
first
content
is
valid

Mutt
will
concatenate

and
allow
you
to
immediately
begin
editing
the

may
still
be
accessed
once
you

in
the
index
menu
which
affect
a
message
#
will
be
applied
to
all

(if
there
are
any).
When

you
must
first
use
the

#
When

mutt
will
beep
whenever

#
#
Name:

#
Type:
quadoption

#
#
#
Controls
whether

confirm
bouncing
messages.
#
If
set
to
yes
you
don't
get
asked
if
you
want
to
bounce
a

message.
Setting
this
variable
to
no
is
not
generally
useful

and
thus
not

may
wish
to
unset

#
Name:
braille_friendly

Type:
boolean

Default:
no

#
When

making
it
easier
for
blind

Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Note:
this
option
only
affects
maildir
and

style
#
mailboxes.
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
check
for
new
mail
delivered
while
the
#
mailbox
is
open.
Especially
with
MH
mailboxes
this
operation
can
#
take
quite
some
time
since
it
involves
scanning
the
directory
and
#
checking
each
file
to
see
if
it
has
already
been
looked
at.
If
#
check_new
is

is
performed

the
Mail-Followup-To
header
field
is
#
generated
when
sending

When
set
Mutt
will
generate
this
#
field
when
you
are
replying
to
a
known
mailing
list
specified
with
#
the
``subscribe''
or
``lists''
commands.
#
#
This
field
has
two
purposes.
First
preventing
you
from
#
receiving
duplicate
copies
of
replies
to
messages
which
you
send
#
to
mailing
lists
and
second
ensuring
that
you
do
get
a
reply
#
separately
for
any
messages
sent
to
known
lists
to
which
you
are
#
not
subscribed.
The
header
will
contain
only
the
list's
address
#
for
subscribed
lists
and
both
the
list
address
and
your
own
#
email
address
for
unsubscribed
lists.
Without
this
header
a
#
group
reply
to
your
message
sent
to
a
subscribed
list
will
be
#
sent
to
both
the
list
and
your
address
resulting
in
two
copies
#
of
the
same
email
for
you.

that
Mutt
will
#
store
a
copy
of
your
outgoing
message
by
the
username
of
the
address
#
you
are
sending
to
even
if
that
mailbox
does
not
exist.

#
If
the
GECOS
field
contains
a
string
like
"lastname
firstname"
then
you
#
should
set
the
gecos_mask=".*".
#
#
This
can
be
useful
if
you
see
the
following
behavior:
you
address
a
e-mail
#
to
user
ID
stevef
whose
full
name
is
Steve
Franklin.
If
mutt
expands
#
stevef
to
"Franklin"
stevef@foo.bar
then
you
should
set
the
gecos_mask
to
#
a
regular
expression
that
will
match
the
whole
name
so
mutt
will
expand
#
"Franklin"
to
"Franklin
Steve".

Default:
yes
#
#
#
When

help
lines
describing
the

are
displayed
on
the
first

#
#
Note:
The
binding
will
not
be
displayed
correctly
if
the

is
bound
to
a

rather
than
a

Also
#
the

line
may
not
be
updated
if
a

is
changed
while
Mutt
is

running.
Since
this

#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Specifies
the
fully-qualified
hostname
of
the
system
mutt
is
running
on
#
containing
the
host's
name
and
the
DNS
domain
it
belongs
to.
It
is
used
#
as
the
domain
part
(after
``@'')
for
local
email
addresses
as
well
as
#
Message-Id
headers.
#
#
Its
value
is
determined
at
startup
as
follows:
If
the
node's
name
#
as
returned
by
the
uname(3)
function
contains
the
hostname
and
the
#
domain
these
are
used
to
construct
$hostname.
If
there
is
no
#
domain
part
returned
Mutt
will
look
for
a
``domain''
or
``search''
#
line
in
/etc/resolv.conf
to
determine
the
domain.
Optionally
Mutt
#
can
be
compiled
with
a
fixed
domain
name
in
which
case
a
detected
#
one
is
not
used.

#
set
ignore_linear_white_space=no
#
#
Name:
ignore_linear_white_space
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
This
option
replaces
linear-white-space
between
encoded-word
#
and
*text
to
a
single
space
to
prevent
the
display
of
MIME-encoded
#
``Subject''

#
#
#
set
ignore_list_reply_to=no
#
#
Name:
ignore_list_reply_to
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Affects
the
behaviour
of
the
reply
function
when
replying
to
#
messages
from
mailing
lists
(as
defined
by
the
``subscribe''
or
#
``lists''
commands).
When
set
if
the
``Reply-To:''
field
is
#
set
to
the
same
value
as
the
``To:''
field
Mutt
assumes
that
the
#
``Reply-To:''
field
was
set
by
the
mailing
list
to
automate
responses
#
to
the
list
and
will
ignore
this
field.
To
direct
a
response
to
the
#
mailing
list
when
this
option
is
set
use
the
list-reply
#
function
group-reply
will
reply
to
both
the
sender
and
the
#
list.
#
#
#
set
imap_authenticators=""
#
#
Name:
imap_authenticators
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
is
a
colon-delimited
list
of
authentication
methods
mutt
may
#
attempt
to
use
to
log
in
to
an
IMAP
server
in
the
order
mutt
should
#
try
them.
Authentication
methods
are
either
'login'
or
the
right
#
side
of
an
IMAP
'AUTH=xxx'
capability
string
eg
'digest-md5'
'gssapi'
#
or
'cram-md5'.
This
parameter
is
case-insensitive.
If
this
#
parameter
is
unset
(the
default)
mutt
will
try
all
available
methods
#
in
order
from
most-secure
to
least-secure.
#
#
Example:
set
imap_authenticators="gssapi:cram-md5:login"
#
#
Note:
Mutt
will
only
fall
back
to
other
authentication
methods
if
#
the
previous
methods
are
unavailable.
If
a
method
is
available
but
#
authentication
fails
mutt
will
not
connect
to
the
IMAP
server.
#
#
#
set
imap_check_subscribed=no
#
#
Name:
imap_check_subscribed
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
fetch
the
set
of
subscribed
folders
from
#
your
server
on
connection
and
add
them
to
the
set
of
mailboxes
#
it
polls
for
new
mail.
See
also
the
``mailboxes''
command.
#
#
#
set
imap_delim_chars="/."
#
#
Name:
imap_delim_chars
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"/."
#
#
#
This
contains
the
list
of
characters
which
you
would
like
to
treat
#
as
folder
separators
for
displaying
IMAP
paths.
In
particular
it
#
helps
in
using
the
'='
shortcut
for
your
folder
variable.
#
#
#
set
imap_headers=""
#
#
Name:
imap_headers
#
Type:

#
("DATE

REFERENCES
CONTENT-TYPE
#
CONTENT-DESCRIPTION

from
IMAP
#
servers
before

You
may
want
to

Note:
This
is
a
space
separated
list.
#
#
#
set
imap_idle=no
#
#
Name:
imap_idle
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
attempt
to
use
the
IMAP
IDLE
extension
#
to
check
for
new
mail
in
the
current
mailbox.
Some
servers
#
(dovecot
was
the
inspiration
for
this
option)
react
badly
#
to
mutt's
implementation.
If
your
connection
seems
to
freeze
#
up
periodically
try
unsetting
this.
#
#
#
set
imap_keepalive=900
#
#
Name:
imap_keepalive
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
900
#
#
#
This
variable
specifies
the
maximum
amount
of
time
in
seconds
that
mutt
#
will
wait
before
polling
open
IMAP
connections
to
prevent
the
server
#
from
closing
them
before
mutt
has
finished
with
them.
The
default
is
#
well
within
the
RFC-specified
minimum
amount
of
time
(30
minutes)
before
#
a
server
is
allowed
to
do
this
but
in
practice
the
RFC
does
get
#
violated
every
now
and
then.
Reduce
this
number
if
you
find
yourself
#
getting
disconnected
from
your
IMAP
server
due
to
inactivity.
#
#
#
set
imap_list_subscribed=no
#
#
Name:
imap_list_subscribed
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
This
variable
configures
whether
IMAP
folder
browsing
will
look
for
#
only
subscribed
folders
or
all
folders.
This
can
be
toggled
in
the
#
IMAP
browser
with
the
toggle-subscribed
function.
#
#
#
set
imap_login=""
#
#
Name:
imap_login
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Your
login
name
on
the
IMAP
server.
#
#
This
variable
defaults
to
the
value
of
imap_user.
#
#
#
set
imap_pass=""
#
#
Name:
imap_pass
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Specifies
the
password
for
your
IMAP
account.
If
unset
Mutt
will
#
prompt
you
for
your
password
when
you
invoke
the
fetch-mail
function.
#
Warning:
you
should
only
use
this
option
when
you
are
on
a
#
fairly
secure
machine
because
the
superuser
can
read
your
muttrc
even
#
if
you
are
the
only
one
who
can
read
the
file.
#
#
#
set
imap_passive=yes
#
#
Name:
imap_passive

Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
not
open
new
IMAP
connections
to
check
for
new
#
mail.
Mutt
will
only
check
for
new
mail
over
existing
IMAP
#
connections.
This
is
useful
if
you
don't
want
to
be
prompted
to
#
user/password
pairs
on
mutt
invocation
or
if
opening
the
connection
#
is
slow.
#
#
#
set
imap_peek=yes
#
#
Name:
imap_peek
#
Type:

Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
avoid
implicitly
marking
your
mail
as
read
whenever
#
you
fetch
a
message
from
the
server.
This
is
generally
a
good
thing
#
but
can
make
closing
an
IMAP
folder
somewhat
slower.
This
option
#
exists
to
appease
speed
freaks.

#
#
set
imap_servernoise=yes
#
#
Name:

Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
display
warning
messages
from
the
IMAP
#
server
as
error
messages.
Since
these
messages
are
often
#
harmless
or
generated
due
to
configuration
problems
on
the
#
server
which
are
out
of
the
users'
hands
you
may
wish
to
suppress
#
them
at
some
point.

Name:
menu_move_off
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When

the
bottom
entry
of

will
never
scroll
up
past

the
bottom
of
the

#
#
#
set
meta_key=no
#
#
Name:
meta_key
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
forces
Mutt
to
interpret
keystrokes
with
the
high
bit
(bit
8)
#
set
as
if
the
user
had
pressed
the
ESC
key
and
whatever
key
remains
#
after
having
the
high
bit
removed.
For
example
if
the
key
pressed
#
has
an
ASCII
value
of
0xf8
then
this
is
treated
as
if
the
user
had
#
pressed
ESC
then
``x''.
This
is
because
the
result
of
removing
the
#
high
bit
from
``0xf8''
is
``0x78''
which
is
the
ASCII
character
#
``x''.

simply
be

deleted.

This
is
useful
for
forwarding
MIME

#
Set
this

and
mutt
will
cache

your
IMAP

POP
servers
here.
You
are
free
to

#
#
set

#
#
Name:
message_cache_clean

no
#
#
#
If
set
mutt
will
clean
out
obsolete

You
probably
only
want
to

#
#
#
set

Name:
message_format
#
Type:

messages.
builtin
means
to

the
builtin
pager
otherwise
this

variable
should
specify
the
pathname
of
the
external
pager
you
would
#
like
to
use.
#
#
Using
an
external
pager
may
have
some
disadvantages:
Additional
#
keystrokes
are
necessary
because
you
can't
call
mutt
functions
#
directly
from
the
pager
and
screen
resizes
cause
lines
longer

of
context
that
are
given
#
when
displaying
the
next

previous
page
in
the
internal

default
Mutt
will
display

This

displayed
before
each

in
either
the
internal

pager_index_lines=0
#
#
Name:
pager_index_lines

0
#

#
Determines
the
number
of

which
is
shown
when
in
#
the
pager.
The
current
message
unless
near
the
top
or
bottom
of
the
#
folder
will
be
roughly
one
third
of
the
way
down
this
mini-index
#
giving
the
reader
the
context
of
a
few
messages
before
and
after
the
#
message.
This
is
useful
for
example
to
determine
how
many
messages
#
remain
to
be
read
in
the
current
thread.
One
of
the
lines
is
reserved
#
for
the
status
bar
from
the
index
so
a
pager_index_lines
of
6
#
will
only
show
5
lines
of
the

This
makes
sense
in
combination
with
#
``$crypt_replyencrypt''
because
it
allows
you
to
sign
all
#
messages
which
are
automatically
encrypted.
This
works
around
#
the
problem
noted
in
``$crypt_replysign''
that

not
able

to
find
out
whether
an

is
also
signed.

is
more
difficult.

The

operations.
To
override

to
use
OpenSSL

this
must
be
set.
#
However
this
has
no
effect
while

since
mutt

select
the

application
that
was
used
to
sign/encrypt
the
original

#
#
#
If
set
a
shell
command
to
be
executed
if
mutt
fails
to
establish
#
a
connection
to
the
server.
This
is
useful
for
setting
up
secure
#
connections
e.g.
with
ssh(1).
If
the
command
returns
a
nonzero
#
status
mutt
gives
up
opening
the
server.
Example:
#
#
preconnect="ssh
-f
-q
-L
1234:mailhost.net:143
mailhost.net
#
sleep
20
<
/dev/null
>
/dev/null"
#
#
Mailbox
'foo'
on
mailhost.net
can
now
be
reached
#
as
'{localhost:1234}foo'.
#
#
NOTE:
For
this
example
to
work
you
must
be
able
to
log
in
to
the
#
remote
machine
without
having
to
enter
a
password.
#
#
#
set
print=ask-no
#
#
Name:
print
#
Type:
quadoption
#
Default:
ask-no
#
#
#
Controls
whether
or
not
Mutt
really
prints
messages.
#
This
is
set
to
ask-no
by
default
because
some
people
#
accidentally
hit
``p''
often
(like
me).
#
#
#
set
print_command="lpr"
#
#
Name:
print_command
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
"lpr"
#
#
#
This
specifies
the
command
pipe
that
should
be
used
to
print
messages.
#
#
#
set
print_decode=yes
#
#
Name:
print_decode
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Used
in
connection
with
the
print-message
command.
If
this
#
option
is
set
the
message
is
decoded
before
it
is
passed
to
the
#
external
command
specified
by
$print_command.
If
this
option
#
is
unset
no
processing
will
be
applied
to
the
message
when
#
printing
it.
The
latter
setting
may
be
useful
if
you
are
using
#
some
advanced
printer
filter
which
is
able
to
properly
format
#
e-mail
messages
for
printing.
#
#
#
set
print_split=no
#
#
Name:
print_split
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Used
in
connection
with
the
print-message
command.
If
this
option
#
is
set
the
command
specified
by
$print_command
is
executed
once
for
#
each
message
which
is
to
be
printed.
If
this
option
is
unset
#
the
command
specified
by
$print_command
is
executed
only
once
and
#
all
the
messages
are
concatenated
with
a
form
feed
as
the
message
#
separator.
#
#
Those
who
use
the
enscript(1)
program's
mail-printing
mode
will
#
most
likely
want
to
set
this
option.
#
#
#
set
prompt_after=yes
#
#
Name:
prompt_after
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
If
you
use
an
external
``$pager''
setting
this
variable
will
#
cause
Mutt
to
prompt
you
for
a
command
when
the
pager
exits
rather
#
than
returning
to
the
index
menu.
If
unset
Mutt
will
return
to
the
#
index
menu
when
the
external
pager
exits.
#
#
#
set
query_command=""
#
#
Name:
query_command
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
specifies
the
command
that
mutt
will
use
to
make
external
address
#
queries.
The
string
should
contain
a
%s
which
will
be
substituted
#
with
the
query
string
the
user
types.
See
``query''
for
more
#
information.
#

Type:
string
#
Default:
"%4c
%t
%-25.25a
%-25.25n
%?e?(%e)?"
#
#
#
This
variable
describes
the
format
of
the
`query'
menu.
The
#
following
printf-style
sequences
are
understood:
#
#
%a
destination
address
#
%c
current
entry
number
#
%e
extra

*
#
%n
destination

to
the
end
of
the
line
with
"X"
#
%*X
soft-fill
with

documentation.
#
#
#
set
quit=yes
#
#
Name:
quit
#
Type:
quadoption
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
This
variable
controls
whether
``quit''
and
``exit''
actually
quit
#
from
mutt.
If
it
set
to
yes
they
do
quit
if
it
is
set
to
no
they
#
have
no
effect
and
if
it
is
set
to
ask-yes
or
ask-no
you
are
#
prompted
for
confirmation
when
you
try
to
quit.
#
#
#
set
quote_regexp="^([
\t]*[|>:}#])+"
#
#
Name:
quote_regexp
#
Type:
regular
expression
#
Default:
"^([
\t]*[|>:}#])+"
#
#
#
A
regular
expression
used
in
the
internal-pager
to
determine
quoted
#
sections
of
text
in
the
body
of
a
message.
#
#
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.
#
#
#
set
read_inc=10
#
#
Name:
read_inc
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
10
#
#
#
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
#
manual
for
performance
considerations.
#
#
#
set
read_only=no
#
#
Name:
read_only
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
all
folders
are
opened
in
read-only
mode.
#
#
#
set
realname=""
#
#
Name:
realname
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
variable
specifies
what
"real"
or
"personal"
name
should
be
used
#
when
sending
messages.
#
#
By
default
this
is
the
GECOS
field
from
/etc/passwd.
Note
that
this
#
variable
will
not
be
used
when
the
user
has
set
a
real
name
#
in
the
$from
variable.
#
#
#
set
recall=ask-yes
#
#
Name:
recall
#
Type:
quadoption
#
Default:
ask-yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
or
not
Mutt
recalls
postponed
messages
#
when
composing
a
new
message.
Also
see
``$postponed''.
#
#
Setting
this
variable
to
``yes''
is
not
generally
useful
and
thus
not
#
recommended.
#
#
#
set
record="~/sent"
#
#
Name:
record
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
"~/sent"
#
#
#
This
specifies
the
file
into
which
your
outgoing
messages
should
be
#
appended.
(This
is
meant
as
the
primary
method
for
saving
a
copy
of
#
your
messages
but
another
way
to
do
this
is
using
the
``my_hdr''
#
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.
#
#
#
set
reply_regexp="^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[
\t]*"
#
#
Name:
reply_regexp
#
Type:
regular
expression
#
Default:
"^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[
\t]*"
#
#
#
A
regular
expression
used
to
recognize
reply
messages
when
threading
#
and
replying.
The
default
value
corresponds
to
the
English
"Re:"
and
#
the
German
"Aw:".
#
#
#
set
reply_self=no
#
#
Name:
reply_self
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
unset
and
you
are
replying
to
a
message
sent
by
you
Mutt
will
#
assume
that
you
want
to
reply
to
the
recipients
of
that
message
rather
#
than
to
yourself.
#
#
#
set
reply_to=ask-yes
#
#
Name:
reply_to
#
Type:
quadoption
#
Default:
ask-yes
#
#
#
If
set
when
replying
to
a
message
Mutt
will
use
the
address
listed
#
in
the
Reply-to:
header
as
the
recipient
of
the
reply.
If
unset
#
it
will
use
the
address
in
the
From:
header
field
instead.
This
#
option
is
useful
for
reading
a
mailing
list
that
sets
the
Reply-To:
#
header
field
to
the
list
address
and
you
want
to
send
a
private
#
message
to
the
author
of
a
message.
#
#
#
set
resolve=yes
#
#
Name:
resolve
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
the
cursor
will
be
automatically
advanced
to
the
next
#
(possibly
undeleted)
message
whenever
a
command
that
modifies
the
#
current
message
is
executed.
#
#
#
set
reverse_alias=no
#
#
Name:
reverse_alias
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
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
#
#
It
would
be
displayed
in
the
index
menu
as
``Joe
User''
instead
of
#
``abd30425@somewhere.net.''
This
is
useful
when
the
person's
e-mail
#
address
is
not
human
friendly
(like
CompuServe
addresses).
#
#
#
set
reverse_name=no
#
#
Name:
reverse_name
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
It
may
sometimes
arrive
that
you
receive
mail
to
a
certain
machine
#
move
the
messages
to
another
machine
and
reply
to
some
the
messages
#
from
there.
If
this
variable
is
set
the
default
From:
line
of
#
the
reply
messages
is
built
using
the
address
where
you
received
the
#
messages
you
are
replying
to
if
that
address
matches
your
#
alternates.
If
the
variable
is
unset
or
the
address
that
would
be
#
used
doesn't
match
your
alternates
the
From:
line
will
use
#
your
address
on
the
current
machine.
#
#
#
set
reverse_realname=yes
#
#
Name:
reverse_realname
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
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
#
possibly
including
eventual
real
names.
When
it
is
unset
mutt
will
#
override
any
such
real
names
with
the
setting
of
the
realname
variable.
#
#
#
set
rfc2047_parameters=no
#
#
Name:
rfc2047_parameters
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
this
variable
is
set
Mutt
will
decode
RFC-2047-encoded
MIME
#
parameters.
You
want
to
set
this
variable
when
mutt
suggests
you
#
to
save
attachments
to
files
named
like
this:
#
=?iso-8859-1?Q?file=5F=E4=5F991116=2Ezip?=
#
#
When
this
variable
is
set
interactively
the
change
doesn't
have
#
the
desired
effect
before
you
have
changed
folders.
#
#
Note
that
this
use
of
RFC
2047's
encoding
is
explicitly
#
prohibited
by
the
standard
but
nevertheless
encountered
in
the
#
wild.
#
Also
note
that
setting
this
parameter
will
not
have
the
effect
#
that
mutt
generates
this
kind
of
encoding.
Instead
mutt
will
#
unconditionally
use
the
encoding
specified
in
RFC
2231.
#
#
#
set
save_address=no
#
#
Name:
save_address
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
mutt
will
take
the
sender's
full
address
when
choosing
a
#
default
folder
for
saving
a
mail.
If
``$save_name''
or
``$force_name''
#
is
set
too
the
selection
of
the
fcc
folder
will
be
changed
as
well.
#
#
#
set
save_empty=yes
#
#
Name:
save_empty
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
unset
mailboxes
which
contain
no
saved
messages
will
be
removed
#
when
closed
(the
exception
is
``$spoolfile''
which
is
never
removed).
#
If
set
mailboxes
are
never
removed.
#
#
Note:
This
only
applies
to
mbox
and
MMDF
folders
Mutt
does
not
#
delete
MH
and
Maildir
directories.
#
#
#
set
save_history=0
#
#
Name:
save_history
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#
This
variable
controls
the
size
of
the
history
saved
in
the
#
``$history_file''
file.
#
#
#
set
save_name=no
#
#
Name:
save_name
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
This
variable
controls
how
copies
of
outgoing
messages
are
saved.
#
When
set
a
check
is
made
to
see
if
a
mailbox
specified
by
the
#
recipient
address
exists
(this
is
done
by
searching
for
a
mailbox
in
#
the
``$folder''
directory
with
the
username
part
of
the
#
recipient
address).
If
the
mailbox
exists
the
outgoing
message
will
#
be
saved
to
that
mailbox
otherwise
the
message
is
saved
to
the
#
``$record''
mailbox.
#
#
Also
see
the
``$force_name''
variable.
#
#
#
set
score=yes
#
#
Name:
score
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
this
variable
is
unset
scoring
is
turned
off.
This
can
#
be
useful
to
selectively
disable
scoring
for
certain
folders
when
the
#
``$score_threshold_delete''
variable
and
friends
are
used.
#
#
#
set
score_threshold_delete=-1
#
#
Name:

#
#
#
Messages
which
have
been
assigned
a
score
equal
to
or
lower
than
the
value
#
of
this
variable
are
automatically
marked
for
deletion
by
mutt.
Since
#
mutt
scores
are
always
greater
than
or
equal
to
zero
the
default
setting
#
of
this
variable
will
never
mark
a

for
deletion.
#
#
#
set
score_threshold_flag=9999
#
#
Name:

#
#
#
Messages
which
have
been
assigned
a

assigned
a
score
equal
to
or
lower
than
the
value
#
of
this
variable
are
automatically
marked
as
read
by
mutt.
Since
#
mutt
scores
are
always
greater
than

equal
to
zero
the
default
setting

will
never
mark

Default:
"us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8"
#
#
#
A
colon-delimited
list
of
character
sets
for
outgoing
messages.
Mutt
will
use
the
#
first
character
set
into
which
the
text
can
be
converted
exactly.
#
If
your
``$charset''
is
not
iso-8859-1
and
recipients
may
not
#
understand
UTF-8
it
is
advisable
to
include
in
the
list
an
#
appropriate
widely
used
standard
character
set
(such
as
#
iso-8859-2
koi8-r
or
iso-2022-jp)
either
instead
of
or
after
#
"iso-8859-1".
#
#
In
case
the
text
cannot
be
converted
into
one
of
these
exactly
#
mutt
uses
``$charset''
as
a
fallback.

"/usr/sbin/sendmail
-oem
-oi"
#
#
#
Specifies
the
program
and
arguments
used
to
deliver
mail
sent
by
Mutt.
#
Mutt
expects
that
the
specified
program
interprets
additional
#
arguments
as
recipient
addresses.
#
#
#
set
sendmail_wait=0
#
#
Name:
sendmail_wait
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#
Specifies
the
number
of
seconds
to
wait
for
the
``$sendmail''
process
#
to
finish
before
giving
up
and
putting
delivery
in
the
background.
#
#
Mutt
interprets
the
value
of
this
variable
as
follows:
#
>0
number
of
seconds
to
wait
for
sendmail
to
finish
before
continuing
#
0
wait
forever
for
sendmail
to
finish
#
<0
always
put
sendmail
in
the
background
without
waiting
#
#
#
Note
that
if
you
specify
a
value
other
than
0
the
output
of
the
child
#
process
will
be
put
in
a
temporary
file.
If
there
is
some
error
you
#
will
be
informed
as
to
where
to
find
the
output.
#
#
#
set
shell=""
#
#
Name:
shell
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Command
to
use
when
spawning
a
subshell.
By
default
the
user's
login
#
shell
from
/etc/passwd
is
used.
#
#
#
set
sig_dashes=yes
#
#
Name:
sig_dashes
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
If
set
a
line
containing
``--
''
will
be
inserted
before
your
#
``$signature''.
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
you
not
unset
#
this
variable
unless
your
``signature''
contains
just
your
name.
The
#
reason
for
this
is
because
many
software
packages
use
``--
\n''
to
#
detect
your
signature.
For
example
Mutt
has
the
ability
to
highlight
#
the
signature
in
a
different
color
in
the
builtin
pager.
#
#
#
set
sig_on_top=no
#
#
Name:
sig_on_top
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
the
signature
will
be
included
before
any
quoted
or
forwarded
#
text.
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
you
do
not
set
this
variable
#
unless
you
really
know
what
you
are
doing
and
are
prepared
to
take
#
some
heat
from
netiquette
guardians.
#
#
#
set
signature="~/.signature"
#
#
Name:
signature
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
"~/.signature"
#
#
#
Specifies
the
filename
of
your
signature
which
is
appended
to
all
#
outgoing
messages.
If
the
filename
ends
with
a
pipe
(``|'')
it
is
#
assumed
that
filename
is
a
shell
command
and
input
should
be
read
from
#
its
stdout.
#
#
#
set
simple_search="~f
%s
|
~s
%s"
#
#
Name:
simple_search
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"~f
%s
|
~s
%s"
#
#
#
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
~
#
operators.
See
``patterns''
for
more
information
on
search
patterns.
#
#
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.
#
For
the
default
value
it
would
be:
#
#
~f
joe
|
~s
joe
#
#
#
set
smart_wrap=yes
#
#
Name:
smart_wrap
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
the
display
of
lines
longer
than
the
screen
width
in
the
#
internal
pager.
If
set
long
lines
are
wrapped
at
a
word
boundary.
If
#
unset
lines
are
simply
wrapped
at
the
screen
edge.
Also
see
the
#
``$markers''
variable.
#
#
#
set
smileys="(>From
)|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])"
#
#
Name:
smileys
#
Type:
regular
expression
#
Default:
"(>From
)|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])"
#
#
#
The
pager
uses
this
variable
to
catch
some
common
false
#
positives
of
``$quote_regexp''
most
notably
smileys
in
the
beginning
#
of
a
line
#
#
#
set
sleep_time=1
#
#
Name:
sleep_time
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
1
#
#
#
Specifies
time
in
seconds
to
pause
while
displaying
certain
informational
#
messages
while
moving
from
folder
to
folder
and
after
expunging
#
messages
from
the
current
folder.
The
default
is
to
pause
one
second
so
#
a
value
of
zero
for
this
option
suppresses
the
pause.
#
#
#
set
smtp_authenticators=""
#
#
Name:
smtp_authenticators
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
is
a
colon-delimited
list
of
authentication
methods
mutt
may
#
attempt
to
use
to
log
in
to
an
SMTP
server
in
the
order
mutt
should
#
try
them.
Authentication
methods
are
any
SASL
mechanism
eg
#
``digest-md5''
``gssapi''
or
``cram-md5''.
#
This
parameter
is
case-insensitive.
If
this
parameter
is
unset
#
(the
default)
mutt
will
try
all
available
methods
in
order
from
#
most-secure
to
least-secure.
#
#
Example:
set
smtp_authenticators="digest-md5:cram-md5"
#
#
#
set
smtp_pass=""
#
#
Name:
smtp_pass
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Specifies
the
password
for
your
SMTP
account.
If
unset
Mutt
will
#
prompt
you
for
your
password
when
you
first
send
mail
via
SMTP.
#
See
``smtp_url''
to
configure
mutt
to
send
mail
via
SMTP.
#
Warning:
you
should
only
use
this
option
when
you
are
on
a
#
fairly
secure
machine
because
the
superuser
can
read
your
muttrc
even
#
if
you
are
the
only
one
who
can
read
the
file.
#
#
#
set
smtp_url=""
#
#
Name:
smtp_url
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Defines
the
SMTP
``smart''
host
where
sent
messages
should
relayed
for
#
delivery.
This
should
take
the
form
of
an
SMTP
URL
eg:
#
#
smtp[s]://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/
#
#
Setting
this
variable
overrides
the
value
of
the
``$sendmail''
#
variable.
#
#
#
set
sort=date
#
#
Name:
sort
#
Type:
sort
order
#
Default:
date
#
#
#
Specifies
how
to
sort
messages
in
the
index
menu.
Valid
values
#
are:
#
#
date
or
date-sent
#
date-received
#
from
#
mailbox-order
(unsorted)
#
score
#
size
#
spam
#
subject
#
threads
#
to
#
#
You
may
optionally
use
the
reverse-
prefix
to
specify
reverse
sorting
#
order
(example:
set
sort=reverse-date-sent).
#
#
#
set
sort_alias=alias
#
#
Name:
sort_alias
#
Type:
sort
order
#
Default:
alias
#
#
#
Specifies
how
the
entries
in
the
`alias'
menu
are
sorted.
The
#
following
are
legal
values:
#
#
address
(sort
alphabetically
by
email
address)
#
alias
(sort
alphabetically
by
alias
name)
#
unsorted
(leave
in
order
specified
in
.muttrc)
#
#
#
set
sort_aux=date
#
#
Name:
sort_aux
#
Type:
sort
order
#
Default:
date
#
#
#
When
sorting
by
threads
this
variable
controls
how
threads
are
sorted
#
in
relation
to
other
threads
and
how
the
branches
of
the
thread
trees
#
are
sorted.
This
can
be
set
to
any
value
that
``$sort''
can
except
#
threads
(in
that
case
mutt
will
just
use
date-sent).
You
can
also
#
specify
the
last-
prefix
in
addition
to
the
reverse-
prefix
but
last-
#
must
come
after
reverse-.
The
last-
prefix
causes
messages
to
be
#
sorted
against
its
siblings
by
which
has
the
last
descendant
using
#
the
rest
of
sort_aux
as
an
ordering.
For
instance
set
sort_aux=last-
#
date-received
would
mean
that
if
a
new
message
is
received
in
a
#
thread
that
thread
becomes
the
last
one
displayed
(or
the
first
if
#
you
have
set
sort=reverse-threads.)
Note:
For
reversed
``$sort''
#
order
$sort_aux
is
reversed
again
(which
is
not
the
right
thing
to
do
#
but
kept
to
not
break
any
existing
configuration
setting).
#
#
#
set
sort_browser=alpha
#
#
Name:
sort_browser
#
Type:
sort
order
#
Default:
alpha
#
#
#
Specifies
how
to
sort
entries
in
the
file
browser.
By
default
the
#
entries
are
sorted
alphabetically.
Valid
values:
#
#
alpha
(alphabetically)
#
date
#
size
#
unsorted
#
#
You
may
optionally
use
the
reverse-
prefix
to
specify
reverse
sorting
#
order
(example:
set
sort_browser=reverse-date).
#
#
#
set
sort_re=yes
#
#
Name:
sort_re
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
This
variable
is
only
useful
when
sorting
by
threads
with
#
``$strict_threads''
unset.
In
that
case
it
changes
the
heuristic
#
mutt
uses
to
thread
messages
by
subject.
With
sort_re
set
mutt
will
#
only
attach
a
message
as
the
child
of
another
message
by
subject
if
#
the
subject
of
the
child
message
starts
with
a
substring
matching
the
#
setting
of
``$reply_regexp''.
With
sort_re
unset
mutt
will
attach
#
the
message
whether
or
not
this
is
the
case
as
long
as
the
#
non-``$reply_regexp''
parts
of
both
messages
are
identical.
#
#
#
set
spam_separator="
"
#
#
Name:
spam_separator
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"
"
#
#
#
``spam_separator''
controls
what
happens
when
multiple
spam
headers
#
are
matched:
if
unset
each
successive
header
will
overwrite
any
#
previous
matches
value
for
the
spam
label.
If
set
each
successive
#
match
will
append
to
the
previous
using
``spam_separator''
as
a
#
separator.
#
#
#
set
spoolfile=""
#
#
Name:
spoolfile
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
If
your
spool
mailbox
is
in
a
non-default
place
where
Mutt
cannot
find
#
it
you
can
specify
its
location
with
this
variable.
Mutt
will
#
automatically
set
this
variable
to
the
value
of
the
environment
#
variable
$MAIL
if
it
is
not
set.
#
#
#
set
status_chars="-*%A"
#
#
Name:
status_chars
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"-*%A"
#
#
#
Controls
the
characters
used
by
the
"%r"
indicator
in
#
``$status_format''.
The
first
character
is
used
when
the
mailbox
is
#
unchanged.
The
second
is
used
when
the
mailbox
has
been
changed
and
#
it
needs
to
be
resynchronized.
The
third
is
used
if
the
mailbox
is
in
#
read-only
mode
or
if
the
mailbox
will
not
be
written
when
exiting
#
that
mailbox
(You
can
toggle
whether
to
write
changes
to
a
mailbox
#
with
the
toggle-write
operation
bound
by
default
to
"%").
The
fourth
#
is
used
to
indicate
that
the
current
folder
has
been
opened
in
attach-
#
message
mode
(Certain
operations
like
composing
a
new
mail
replying
#
forwarding
etc.
are
not
permitted
in
this
mode).

=
can
be
optionally
printed
if
nonzero
#
#
Some
of
the
above
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:
#
#
%?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
#
#
where
sequence_char
is
a
character
from
the
table
above
and
#
optional_string
is
the
string
you
would
like
printed
if
#
sequence_char
is
nonzero.
optional_string
may
contain
#
other
sequences
as
well
as
normal
text
but
you
may
not
nest
#
optional
strings.
#
#
Here
is
an
example
illustrating
how
to
optionally
print
the
number
of
#
new
messages
in
a
mailbox:
#
%?n?%n
new
messages.?
#
#
You
can
also
switch
between
two
strings
using
the
following
construct:
#
#
%?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
#
#
If
the
value
of
sequence_char
is
non-zero
if_string
will
#
be
expanded
otherwise
else_string
will
be
expanded.
#
#
You
can
force
the
result
of
any
printf-like
sequence
to
be
lowercase
#
by
prefixing
the
sequence
character
with
an
underscore
(_)
sign.
#
For
example
if
you
want
to
display
the
local
hostname
in
lowercase
#
you
would
use:
#
%_h
#
#
If
you
prefix
the
sequence
character
with
a
colon
(:)
character
mutt
#
will
replace
any
dots
in
the
expansion
by
underscores.
This
might
be
helpful
#
with
IMAP
folders
that
don't
like
dots
in
folder
names.
#
#
#
set
status_on_top=no
#
#
Name:
status_on_top
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Setting
this
variable
causes
the
``status
bar''
to
be
displayed
on
#
the
first
line
of
the
screen
rather
than
near
the
bottom.
#
#
#
set
strict_threads=no
#
#
Name:
strict_threads
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
threading
will
only
make
use
of
the
``In-Reply-To''
and
#
``References''
fields
when
you
``$sort''
by
message
threads.
By
#
default
messages
with
the
same
subject
are
grouped
together
in
#
``pseudo
threads.''.
This
may
not
always
be
desirable
such
as
in
a
#
personal
mailbox
where
you
might
have
several
unrelated
messages
with
#
the
subject
``hi''
which
will
get
grouped
together.
See
also
#
``$sort_re''
for
a
less
drastic
way
of
controlling
this
#
behaviour.
#
#
#
set
suspend=yes
#
#
Name:
suspend
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
unset
mutt
won't
stop
when
the
user
presses
the
terminal's
#
susp
key
usually
``control-Z''.
This
is
useful
if
you
run
mutt
#
inside
an
xterm
using
a
command
like
xterm
-e
mutt.

text_flowed
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
generate
text/plain
format=flowed
attachments.
#
This
format
is
easier
to
handle
for
some
mailing
software
and
generally
#
just
looks
like
ordinary
text.
To
actually
make
use
of
this
format's
#
features
you'll
need
support
in
your
editor.
#
#
Note
that
$indent_string
is
ignored
when
this
option
is
set.
#
#
#
set
thread_received=no
#
#
Name:
thread_received
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
uses
the
date
received
rather
than
the
date
sent
#
to
thread
messages
by
subject.
#
#
#
set
thorough_search=no
#
#
Name:
thorough_search
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Affects
the
~b
and
~h
search
operations
described
in
#
section
``patterns''
above.
If
set
the
headers
and
attachments
of
#
messages
to
be
searched
are
decoded
before
searching.
If
unset
#
messages
are
searched
as
they
appear
in
the
folder.
#
#
#
set
tilde=no
#
#
Name:
tilde
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
the
internal-pager
will
pad
blank
lines
to
the
bottom
of
the
#
screen
with
a
tilde
(~).
#
#
#
set
time_inc=0
#
#
Name:
time_inc
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#
Along
with
``read_inc''
``write_inc''
and
``net_inc''
this
#
variable
controls
the
frequency
with
which
progress
updates
are
#
displayed.
It
suppresses
updates
less
than
``time_inc''
milliseconds
#
apart.
This
can
improve
throughput
on
systems
with
slow
terminals
#
or
when
running
mutt
on
a
remote
system.
#
#
#
set
timeout=600
#
#
Name:
timeout
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
600
#
#
#
When
Mutt
is
waiting
for
user
input
either
idleing
in
menus
or
#
in
an
interactive
prompt
Mutt
would
block
until
input
is
#
present.
Depending
on
the
context
this
would
prevent
certain
#
operations
from
working
like
checking
for
new
mail
or
keeping
#
an
IMAP
connection
alive.
#
#
This
variable
controls
how
many
seconds
Mutt
will
at
most
wait
#
until
it
aborts
waiting
for
input
performs
these
operations
and
#
continues
to
wait
for
input.
#
#
A
value
of
zero
or
less
will
cause
Mutt
to
never
time
out.
#
#
#
set
tmpdir=""
#
#
Name:
tmpdir
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
variable
allows
you
to
specify
where
Mutt
will
place
its
#
temporary
files
needed
for
displaying
and
composing
messages.
If
#
this
variable
is
not
set
the
environment
variable
TMPDIR
is
#
used.
If
TMPDIR
is
not
set
then
"/tmp"
is
used.
#
#
#
set
to_chars="
+TCFL"
#
#
Name:
to_chars
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"
+TCFL"
#
#
#
Controls
the
character
used
to
indicate
mail
addressed
to
you.
The
#
first
character
is
the
one
used
when
the
mail
is
NOT
addressed
to
your
#
address
(default:
space).
The
second
is
used
when
you
are
the
only
#
recipient
of
the
message
(default:
+).
The
third
is
when
your
address
#
appears
in
the
TO
header
field
but
you
are
not
the
only
recipient
of
#
the
message
(default:
T).
The
fourth
character
is
used
when
your
#
address
is
specified
in
the
CC
header
field
but
you
are
not
the
only
#
recipient.
The
fifth
character
is
used
to
indicate
mail
that
was
sent
#
by
you.
The
sixth
character
is
used
to
indicate
when
a
mail
#
was
sent
to
a
mailing-list
you
subscribe
to
(default:
L).
#
#
#
set
tunnel=""
#
#
Name:
tunnel
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Setting
this
variable
will
cause
mutt
to
open
a
pipe
to
a
command
#
instead
of
a
raw
socket.
You
may
be
able
to
use
this
to
set
up
#
preauthenticated
connections
to
your
IMAP/POP3
server.
Example:
#
#
tunnel="ssh
-q
mailhost.net
/usr/local/libexec/imapd"
#
#
NOTE:
For
this
example
to
work
you
must
be
able
to
log
in
to
the
remote
#
machine
without
having
to
enter
a
password.
#
#
#
set
use_8bitmime=no
#
#
Name:
use_8bitmime
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Warning:
do
not
set
this
variable
unless
you
are
using
a
version
#
of
sendmail
which
supports
the
-B8BITMIME
flag
(such
as
sendmail
#
8.8.x)
or
you
may
not
be
able
to
send
mail.
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
invoke
``$sendmail''
with
the
-B8BITMIME
#
flag
when
sending
8-bit
messages
to
enable
ESMTP
negotiation.
#
#
#
set
use_domain=yes
#
#
Name:
use_domain
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
qualify
all
local
addresses
(ones
without
the
#
@host
portion)
with
the
value
of
``$hostname''.
If
unset
no
#
addresses
will
be
qualified.
#
#
#
set
use_envelope_from=no
#
#
Name:
use_envelope_from
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
set
the
envelope
sender
of
the
message.
#
If
``$envelope_from_address''
is
set
it
will
be
used
as
the
sender
#
address.
If
not
mutt
will
attempt
to
derive
the
sender
from
the
#
"From:"
header.
#
#
Note
that
this
information
is
passed
to
sendmail
command
using
the
#
"-f"
command
line
switch.
Therefore
setting
this
option
is
not
useful
#
if
the
``$sendmail''
variable
already
contains
"-f"
or
if
the
#
executable
pointed
to
by
$sendmail
doesn't
support
the
"-f"
switch.
#
#
#
set
use_from=yes
#
#
Name:
use_from
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
generate
the
`From:'
header
field
when
#
sending
messages.
If
unset
no
`From:'
header
field
will
be
#
generated
unless
the
user
explicitly
sets
one
using
the
``my_hdr''
#
command.
#
#
#
set
use_idn=yes
#
#
Name:
use_idn
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
show
you
international
domain
names
decoded.
#
Note:
You
can
use
IDNs
for
addresses
even
if
this
is
unset.
#
This
variable
only
affects
decoding.
#
#
#
set
use_ipv6=yes
#
#
Name:
use_ipv6
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
look
for
IPv6
addresses
of
hosts
it
tries
to
#
contact.
If
this
option
is
unset
Mutt
will
restrict
itself
to
IPv4
addresses.
#
Normally
the
default
should
work.
#
#
#
set
user_agent=yes
#
#
Name:
user_agent
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
add
a
"User-Agent"
header
to
outgoing
#
messages
indicating
which
version
of
mutt
was
used
for
composing
#
them.
#
#
#
set
visual=""
#
#
Name:
visual
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Specifies
the
visual
editor
to
invoke
when
the
~v
command
is
#
given
in
the
builtin
editor.
#
#
#
set
wait_key=yes
#
#
Name:
wait_key
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
Mutt
will
ask
you
to
press
a
key
after
shell-
#
escape
pipe-message
pipe-entry
print-message
#
and
print-entry
commands.
#
#
It
is
also
used
when
viewing
attachments
with
``auto_view''
provided
#
that
the
corresponding
mailcap
entry
has
a
needsterminal
flag
#
and
the
external
program
is
interactive.
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
always
ask
for
a
key.
When
unset
Mutt
will
wait
#
for
a
key
only
if
the
external
command
returned
a
non-zero
status.
#
#
#
set
weed=yes
#
#
Name:
weed
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:

#
printing
or
replying
to
messages.
#
#
#
set
wrap=0
#
#
Name:
wrap
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#
When
set
to
a
positive
value
mutt
will
wrap
text
at
$wrap
characters.
#
When
set
to
a
negative
value
mutt
will
wrap
text
so
that
there
are
$wrap
#
characters
of
empty
space
on
the
right
side
of
the
terminal.
#
#
#
set
wrap_search=yes
#
#
Name:
wrap_search
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
searches
wrap
around
the
end
of
the
mailbox.
#
#
When
set
searches
will
wrap
around
the
first
(or
last)
message.
When
#
unset
searches
will
not
wrap.
#
#
#
set
wrapmargin=0
#
#
Name:
wrapmargin
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#

write_inc=10
#
#
Name:
write_inc
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
10
#
#
#
When
writing
a
mailbox
a
message
will
be
printed
every
#
write_inc
messages
to
indicate
progress.
If
set
to
0
only
a
#
single
message
will
be
displayed
before
writing
a
mailbox.
#
#
Also
see
the
``$read_inc''
variable.
#
#
#
set
write_bcc=yes
#
#
Name:
write_bcc
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
mutt
writes
out
the
Bcc
header
when
preparing
#
messages
to
be
sent.
Exim
users
may
wish
to
unset
this.
If
mutt
#
is
set
to
deliver
directly
via
SMTP
(see
``$smtp_url'')
this
#
option
does
nothing:
mutt
will
never
write
out
the
BCC
header
#
in
this
case.

#
Command
formats
for
gpg.
#
#
This
version
uses
gpg-2comp
from
#
http://70t.de/download/gpg-2comp.tar.gz
#
#
$Id$
#
#
%p
The
empty
string
when
no
passphrase
is
needed
#
the
string
"PGPPASSFD=0"
if
one
is
needed.
#
#
This
is
mostly
used
in
conditional
%
sequences.
#
#
%f
Most
PGP
commands
operate
on
a
single
file
or
a
file
#
containing
a
message.
%f
expands
to
this
file's
name.
#
#
%s
When
verifying
signatures
there
is
another
temporary
file
#
containing
the
detached
signature.
%s
expands
to
this
#
file's
name.
#
#
%a
In
"signing"
contexts
this
expands
to
the
value
of
the
#
configuration
variable
$pgp_sign_as.
You
probably
need
to
#
use
this
within
a
conditional
%
sequence.
#
#
%r
In
many
contexts
mutt
passes
key
IDs
to
pgp.
%r
expands
to
#
a
list
of
key
IDs.
#
Note
that
we
explicitly
set
the
comment
armor
header
since
GnuPG
when
used
#
in
some
localiaztion
environments
generates
8bit
data
in
that
header
thereby
#
breaking
PGP/MIME.

Removing
a

from
a
list
removes
that
pattern
literally.
It
##
does
not
remove
any
type
matching
the
pattern.
##
##
attachments

##
attachments

image/jpeg
##
unattachments
+A

##
##
This
leaves
"attached"
image/jpeg
files
on
the
allowed
attachments
##
list.
It
does
not
remove
all
items
as
you
might
expect
because
the
##
second
*/.*
is
not
a
matching
expression
at
this
time.
##
##
Remember:
"unattachments"
only
undoes
what
"attachments"
has
done!
##
It
does
not
trigger
any
matching
on
actual
messages.
##
Qualify
any
MIME
part
with
an
"attachment"
disposition
EXCEPT
for

text/x-vcard

parts.
(PGP
parts
are
already
known
##
to
mutt
and
can
be
searched
for
with
~g
~G
and
~k.)
##
##
I've
added
x-pkcs7
to
this
since
it
functions
(for
S/MIME)
##
analogously
to
PGP
signature
attachments.
S/MIME
isn't
supported

in
a
stock
mutt
build
but
we
can
still
treat
it

Discount
all

unless
they're

(Why
inline
a
text/plain
part
unless
it's
external
to
the
##
message
flow?)
##
attachments

##
These
two
lines
make
Mutt
qualify
MIME
containers.
(So
for
example
##
a
message/rfc822
forward
will
count
as
an
attachment.)
The
first
##
line
is
unnecessary
if
you
already
have
"attach-allow

of
##
course.
These
are
off
by
default!
The

contained

within

#
#
This

is
a
colon-separated

schemes
for
messages
without
character
encoding
indication.
#
Header
field
values
and
message

all
the
header

prefer
this:
#
#
set
assumed_charset="iso-2022-jp:euc-jp:shift_jis:utf-8"

#
If
set

you
don't
get
asked
if
you

Mutt
will
check
for
new
mail
delivered
while
the

mailbox
is
open.
Especially
with
MH
mailboxes
this
operation
can
#
take
quite
some
time
since
it
involves
scanning
the

and
#
checking
each

to
see
if
it
has
already
been
looked
at.
If

#
#
set
followup_to=yes
#
#

Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
or
not
the
Mail-Followup-To
header
field
is
#
generated
when
sending
mail.
When
set
Mutt
will
generate
this
#
field
when
you
are
replying
to
a
known
mailing
list
specified
with
#
the
``subscribe''
or
``lists''
commands.
#
#
This
field
has
two
purposes.
First
preventing
you
from
#
receiving
duplicate
copies
of
replies
to
messages
which
you
send
#
to
mailing
lists
and
second
ensuring
that
you
do
get
a
reply
#
separately
for
any
messages
sent
to
known
lists
to
which
you
are
#
not
subscribed.
The
header
will
contain
only
the
list's
address
#
for
subscribed
lists
and
both
the
list
address
and
your
own
#
email
address
for
unsubscribed
lists.
Without
this
header
a
#
group
reply
to
your
message
sent
to
a
subscribed
list
will
be
#
sent
to
both
the
list
and
your
address
resulting
in
two
copies
#
of
the
same
email
for
you.
#
#
#
set
force_name=no
#
#
Name:
force_name
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
This
variable
is
similar
to
``$save_name''
except
that
Mutt
will
#
store
a
copy
of
your
outgoing
message
by
the
username
of
the
address
#
you
are
sending
to
even
if
that
mailbox
does
not
exist.

the
``$record''
variable.
#
#
#
set
forward_decode=yes
#
#

#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
the
decoding
of
complex
MIME
messages
into
text/plain
when
#
forwarding
a
message.
The
message
header
is
also
RFC2047
decoded.
#
This
variable
is
only
used
if
``$mime_forward''
is
unset
#
otherwise
``$mime_forward_decode''
is
used
instead.
#
#
#
set
forward_edit=yes
#
#
Name:
forward_edit
#
Type:
quadoption
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
This
quadoption
controls
whether
or
not
the
user
is
automatically
#
placed
in
the
editor
when
forwarding
messages.
For
those
who
always
want
#
to
forward
with
no
modification
use
a
setting
of
``no''.
#
#
#
set
forward_format="[%a:
%s]"
#
#
Name:
forward_format
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"[%a:
%s]"
#
#
#
This
variable
controls
the
default
subject
when
forwarding
a
message.
#
It
uses
the
same
format
sequences
as
the
``$index_format''
variable.
#
#
#
set
forward_quote=no
#
#
Name:
forward_quote
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
forwarded
messages
included
in
the
main
body
of
the
#
message
(when
``$mime_forward''
is
unset)
will
be
quoted
using
#
``$indent_string''.
#
#
#
set
from=""
#
#
Name:
from
#
Type:
e-mail
address
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
When
set
this
variable
contains
a
default
from
address.
It
#
can
be
overridden
using
my_hdr
(including
from
send-hooks)
and
#
``$reverse_name''.
This
variable
is
ignored
if
``$use_from''
#
is
unset.
#
#
Defaults
to
the
contents
of
the
environment
variable
EMAIL.
#
#
#
set
gecos_mask="^[^
]*"
#
#
Name:
gecos_mask
#
Type:
regular
expression
#
Default:
"^[^
]*"
#
#
#
A
regular
expression
used
by
mutt
to
parse
the
GECOS
field
of
a
password
#
entry
when
expanding
the
alias.
By
default
the
regular
expression
is
set
#
to
"^[^
]*"
which
will
return
the
string
up
to
the
first
"
"
encountered.
#
If
the
GECOS
field
contains
a
string
like
"lastname
firstname"
then
you
#
should
set
the
gecos_mask=".*".
#
#
This
can
be
useful
if
you
see
the
following
behavior:
you
address
a
e-mail
#
to
user
ID
stevef
whose
full
name
is
Steve
Franklin.
If
mutt
expands
#
stevef
to
"Franklin"
stevef@foo.bar
then
you
should
set
the
gecos_mask
to
#
a
regular
expression
that
will
match
the
whole
name
so
mutt
will
expand
#
"Franklin"
to
"Franklin
Steve".
#
#
#
set
hdrs=yes
#
#
Name:
hdrs
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
unset
the
header
fields
normally
added
by
the
``my_hdr''
#
command
are
not
created.
This
variable
must
be
unset
before
#
composing
a
new
message
or
replying
in
order
to
take
effect.
If
set
#
the
user
defined
header
fields
are
added
to
every

Default:
yes
#
#
#
When

lines
describing
the

for
the
major
functions
#
provided
by
each
menu
are
displayed
on
the
first
line
of
the
screen.
#
#
Note:
The
binding
will
not
be
displayed
correctly
if
the

function
is
bound
to
a
sequence
rather
than
a
single
keystroke.
Also
#
the
help
line
may
not
be
updated
if
a
binding
is
changed
while
Mutt
is
#
running.
Since
this

of
these
should
present
a
major
problem.

#
#
#
set
hostname=""
#
#
Name:
hostname
#
Type:

#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Specifies
the
fully-qualified
hostname
of
the
system
mutt
is
running
on
#
containing
the
host's
name
and
the
DNS
domain
it
belongs
to.
It
is
used
#
as
the
domain
part
(after
``@'')
for
local
email
addresses
as
well
as
#
Message-Id
headers.
#
#
Its
value
is
determined
at
startup
as
follows:
If
the
node's
name
#
as
returned
by
the
uname(3)
function
contains
the
hostname
and
the
#
domain
these
are
used
to
construct
$hostname.
If
there
is
no
#
domain
part
returned
Mutt
will
look
for
a
``domain''
or
``search''
#
line
in
/etc/resolv.conf
to
determine
the
domain.
Optionally
Mutt
#
can
be
compiled
with
a
fixed
domain
name
in
which
case
a
detected
#
one
is
not
used.
#
#
Also
see
``$use_domain''

#
#
#
set
ignore_linear_white_space=no
#
#
Name:
ignore_linear_white_space
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
This
option
replaces
linear-white-space
between
encoded-word
#
and
*text
to
a
single
space
to
prevent
the
display
of
MIME-encoded
#
``Subject''
field
from
being
divided
into
multiple
lines.
#
#
#
set
ignore_list_reply_to=no
#
#
Name:
ignore_list_reply_to
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Affects
the
behaviour
of
the
reply
function
when
replying
to
#
messages
from
mailing
lists
(as
defined
by
the
``subscribe''
or
#
``lists''
commands).
When
set
if
the
``Reply-To:''
field
is
#
set
to
the
same
value
as
the
``To:''
field
Mutt
assumes
that
the
#
``Reply-To:''
field
was
set
by
the
mailing
list
to
automate
responses
#
to
the
list
and
will
ignore
this
field.
To
direct
a
response
to
the
#
mailing
list
when
this
option
is
set
use
the
list-reply
#
function
group-reply
will
reply
to
both
the
sender
and
the
#
list.
#
#
#
set
imap_authenticators=""
#
#
Name:
imap_authenticators
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
is
a
colon-delimited
list
of
authentication
methods
mutt
may
#
attempt
to
use
to
log
in
to
an
IMAP
server
in
the
order
mutt
should
#
try
them.
Authentication
methods
are
either
'login'
or
the
right
#
side
of
an
IMAP
'AUTH=xxx'
capability
string
eg
'digest-md5'
'gssapi'
#
or
'cram-md5'.
This
parameter
is
case-insensitive.
If
this
#
parameter
is
unset
(the
default)
mutt
will
try
all
available
methods
#
in
order
from
most-secure
to
least-secure.
#
#
Example:
set
imap_authenticators="gssapi:cram-md5:login"
#
#
Note:
Mutt
will
only
fall
back
to
other
authentication
methods
if
#
the
previous
methods
are
unavailable.
If
a
method
is
available
but
#
authentication
fails
mutt
will
not
connect
to
the
IMAP
server.
#
#
#
set
imap_check_subscribed=no
#
#
Name:
imap_check_subscribed
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
fetch
the
set
of
subscribed
folders
from
#
your
server
on
connection
and
add
them
to
the
set
of
mailboxes
#
it
polls
for
new
mail.
See
also
the
``mailboxes''
command.
#
#
#
set
imap_delim_chars="/."
#
#
Name:
imap_delim_chars
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"/."
#
#
#
This
contains
the
list
of
characters
which
you
would
like
to
treat
#
as
folder
separators
for
displaying
IMAP
paths.
In
particular
it
#
helps
in
using
the
'='
shortcut
for
your
folder
variable.
#
#
#
set
imap_headers=""
#
#
Name:
imap_headers
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Mutt
requests
these
header
fields
in
addition
to
the
default
headers
#
("DATE
FROM
SUBJECT
TO
CC
MESSAGE-ID
REFERENCES
CONTENT-TYPE
#
CONTENT-DESCRIPTION
IN-REPLY-TO
REPLY-TO
LINES
X-LABEL")
from
IMAP
#
servers
before
displaying
the
index
menu.
You
may
want
to
add
more
#
headers
for
spam
detection.
Note:
This
is
a
space
separated
list.
#
#
#
set
imap_idle=no
#
#
Name:
imap_idle
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
attempt
to
use
the
IMAP
IDLE
extension
#
to
check
for
new
mail
in
the
current
mailbox.
Some
servers
#
(dovecot
was
the
inspiration
for
this
option)
react
badly
#
to
mutt's
implementation.
If
your
connection
seems
to
freeze
#
up
periodically
try
unsetting
this.
#
#
#
set
imap_keepalive=900
#
#
Name:
imap_keepalive
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
900
#
#
#
This
variable
specifies
the
maximum
amount
of
time
in
seconds
that
mutt
#
will
wait
before
polling
open
IMAP
connections
to
prevent
the
server
#
from
closing
them
before
mutt
has
finished
with
them.
The
default
is
#
well
within
the
RFC-specified
minimum
amount
of
time
(30
minutes)
before
#
a
server
is
allowed
to
do
this
but
in
practice
the
RFC
does
get
#
violated
every
now
and
then.
Reduce
this
number
if
you
find
yourself
#
getting
disconnected
from
your
IMAP
server
due
to
inactivity.
#
#
#
set
imap_list_subscribed=no
#
#
Name:
imap_list_subscribed
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
This
variable
configures
whether
IMAP
folder
browsing
will
look
for
#
only
subscribed
folders
or
all
folders.
This
can
be
toggled
in
the
#
IMAP
browser
with
the
toggle-subscribed
function.
#
#
#
set
imap_login=""
#
#
Name:
imap_login
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Your
login
name
on
the
IMAP
server.
#
#
This
variable
defaults
to
the
value
of
imap_user.
#
#
#
set
imap_pass=""
#
#
Name:
imap_pass
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Specifies
the
password
for
your
IMAP
account.
If
unset
Mutt
will
#
prompt
you
for
your
password
when
you
invoke
the
fetch-mail
function.
#
Warning:
you
should
only
use
this
option
when
you
are
on
a
#
fairly
secure
machine
because
the
superuser
can
read
your
muttrc
even
#
if
you
are
the
only
one
who
can
read
the
file.
#
#
#
set
imap_passive=yes
#
#
Name:
imap_passive
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
not
open
new
IMAP
connections
to
check
for
new
#
mail.
Mutt
will
only
check
for
new
mail
over
existing
IMAP
#
connections.
This
is
useful
if
you
don't
want
to
be
prompted
to
#
user/password
pairs
on
mutt
invocation
or
if
opening
the
connection
#
is
slow.
#
#
#
set
imap_peek=yes
#
#
Name:
imap_peek
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
avoid
implicitly
marking
your
mail
as
read
whenever
#
you
fetch
a
message
from
the
server.
This
is
generally
a
good
thing
#
but
can
make
closing
an
IMAP
folder
somewhat
slower.
This
option
#
exists
to
appease
speed
freaks.
#
#
#
set
imap_servernoise=yes
#
#
Name:
imap_servernoise
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
display
warning
messages
from
the
IMAP
#
server
as
error
messages.
Since
these
messages
are
often
#
harmless
or
generated
due
to
configuration
problems
on
the
#
server
which
are
out
of
the
users'
hands
you
may
wish
to
suppress
#
them
at
some
point.
#
#
#
set
imap_user=""

The
name
of
the
user
whose
mail
you
intend
to
access
on
the
IMAP
#
server.
#
#
This
variable
defaults
to
your
user
name
on
the
local
machine.

#
#
Name:

If
such
an

You
are
strongly
encouraged
not

Default:
yes
#
#

#
#
Name:
meta_key

Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If

interpret
keystrokes
with
the
high

#
set
as
if
the
user
had
pressed
the
ESC
key
and
whatever

high
bit
removed.
For
example
if
the

has
an
ASCII
value
of
0xf8
then
this
is
treated
as
if
the
user
had

pressed
ESC
then
``x''.
This
is
because
the
result
of
removing
the

high
bit
from

is
``0x78''
which
is
the
ASCII
character

builtin
means
to

the
builtin
pager
otherwise
this

variable
should
specify
the
pathname
of
the
external
pager
you
would
#
like
to
use.
#
#
Using
an
external
pager
may
have
some
disadvantages:
Additional
#
keystrokes
are
necessary
because
you
can't
call
mutt
functions
#
directly
from
the
pager
and
screen
resizes
cause
lines
longer
than

the
screen
width
to
be
badly
formatted
in
the
help

the
number
of
lines
of
context
that
are
given
#
when
displaying
the
next

in
the
internal

default
Mutt
will
display

displayed
before
each

in
either
the
internal

0
#
#
#
Determines
the
number
of

of
a
mini-index
which
is
shown
when
in
#
the
pager.
The
current
message
unless
near
the
top
or
bottom
of
the
#
folder
will
be
roughly
one
third
of
the
way
down
this
mini-index
#
giving
the
reader
the
context
of
a
few
messages
before
and
after
the
#
message.
This
is
useful
for
example
to
determine
how
many
messages
#
remain
to
be
read
in
the
current
thread.
One
of
the
lines
is
reserved
#
for
the
status
bar
from
the
index
so
a
pager_index_lines
of
6
#
will
only
show
5
lines
of
the
actual
index.
A
value
of
0
results
in
#
no
index
being
shown.
If
the
number
of
messages
in
the
current
folder
#
is
less
than
pager_index_lines
then
the
index
will
only
use
as

as
it
needs.

Default:
no
#
#
#
Setting
this
variable
will
cause
Mutt
to
always

cryptographically
sign
outgoing
messages.
This
can
be
overridden
#
by
use
of
the
pgp-menu
when
signing
is

encryption
is
requested
as

Default:
no
#
#
#
Setting
this
variable
will
cause
Mutt
to
always

to
PGP

encrypt
outgoing

This
is
probably
only
useful
in

connection
to
the

It
can
be
overridden

by
use
of
the

when
encryption
is
not
required
or
#
signing
is
requested
as
well.
IF
``$smime_is_default''
is
set
#
then
OpenSSL
is
used
instead
to
create
S/MIME
messages
and
#
settings
can
be
overridden
by
use
of
the

#
Setting
this
variable
will
cause

subkeys.
Instead

the
principal
key
will
inherit
the

Unset
this

Note:
this

sign
replies

This
makes
sense
in
combination
with
#
``$crypt_replyencrypt''
because
it
allows
you
to
sign
all
#
messages
which
are
automatically
encrypted.
This
works
around
#
the
problem
noted
in
``$crypt_replysign''
that
mutt
is
not
able
#
to
find
out
whether
an
encrypted
message
is
also
signed.

#
If

mutt
will
include
a
time
stamp
in
the
lines
surrounding

output
so
spoofing
such
lines
is
more
difficult.

#
#
The
default
behaviour
of
mutt
is
to
use
PGP
on
all
auto-sign/encryption
#
operations.
To
override
and
to
use
OpenSSL
instead
this
must
be
set.
#
However
this
has
no
effect
while
replying
since
mutt
will
automatically

select
the
same
application
that
was
used
to
sign/encrypt
the
original

message.
(Note
that

this
tells
mutt
to
use
the

Otherwise
#
if

mutt
will
try
to
use
the

to
determine
the

to

It
will
ask
you
to
supply
a

if
it

#
set
print_command="lpr"
#
#
Name:
print_command
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
"lpr"
#
#
#
This
specifies
the
command
pipe
that
should
be
used
to
print
messages.
#
#
#
set
print_decode=yes
#
#
Name:
print_decode
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Used
in
connection
with
the
print-message
command.
If
this
#
option
is
set
the
message
is
decoded
before
it
is
passed
to
the
#
external
command
specified
by
$print_command.
If
this
option
#
is
unset
no
processing
will
be
applied
to
the
message
when
#
printing
it.
The
latter
setting
may
be
useful
if
you
are
using
#
some
advanced
printer
filter
which
is
able
to
properly
format
#
e-mail
messages
for
printing.
#
#
#
set
print_split=no
#
#
Name:
print_split
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Used
in
connection
with
the
print-message
command.
If
this
option
#
is
set
the
command
specified
by
$print_command
is
executed
once
for
#
each
message
which
is
to
be
printed.
If
this
option
is
unset
#
the
command
specified
by
$print_command
is
executed
only
once
and
#
all
the
messages
are
concatenated
with
a
form
feed
as
the
message
#
separator.
#
#
Those
who
use
the
enscript(1)
program's
mail-printing
mode
will
#
most
likely
want
to
set
this
option.
#
#
#
set
prompt_after=yes
#
#
Name:
prompt_after
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
If
you
use
an
external
``$pager''
setting
this
variable
will
#
cause
Mutt
to
prompt
you
for
a
command
when
the
pager
exits
rather
#
than
returning
to
the
index
menu.
If
unset
Mutt
will
return
to
the
#
index
menu
when
the
external
pager
exits.
#
#
#
set
query_command=""
#
#
Name:
query_command
#
Type:

#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
specifies
the
command
that
mutt
will
use
to
make
external
address
#
queries.
The
string
should
contain
a
%s
which
will
be
substituted
#
with
the
query
string
the
user
types.
See
``query''
for
more
#

%-25.25n
%?e?(%e)?"
#
#
#
This
variable
describes
the
format
of
the
`query'
menu.
The
#
following
printf-style
sequences
are
understood:
#
#
%a
destination
address
#
%c
current

#
#
#
set
quit=yes
#
#
Name:
quit
#
Type:
quadoption
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
This
variable
controls
whether
``quit''
and
``exit''
actually
quit
#
from
mutt.
If
it
set
to
yes
they
do
quit
if
it
is
set
to
no
they
#
have
no
effect
and
if
it
is
set
to

you
are
#
prompted
for
confirmation
when
you
try
to
quit.
#
#
#
set
quote_regexp="^([
\t]*[|>:}#])+"
#
#
Name:
quote_regexp
#
Type:
regular
expression
#
Default:
"^([
\t]*[|>:}#])+"
#
#
#
A
regular
expression
used
in
the
internal-pager
to
determine
quoted
#
sections
of
text
in
the
body
of
a
message.
#
#
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.
#
#
#
set
read_inc=10
#
#
Name:
read_inc
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
10
#
#
#
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
#
manual
for
performance
considerations.
#
#
#
set
read_only=no
#
#
Name:
read_only
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
all
folders
are
opened
in
read-only
mode.
#
#
#
set
realname=""
#
#
Name:
realname
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
variable
specifies
what
"real"
or
"personal"
name
should
be
used
#
when
sending
messages.
#
#
By
default
this
is
the
GECOS
field
from
/etc/passwd.
Note
that
this
#
variable
will
not
be
used
when
the
user
has
set
a
real
name
#
in
the
$from
variable.
#
#
#
set
recall=ask-yes
#
#
Name:
recall
#
Type:
quadoption
#
Default:
ask-yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
or
not
Mutt
recalls
postponed
messages
#
when
composing
a
new
message.
Also
see
``$postponed''.
#
#
Setting
this
variable
to
``yes''
is
not
generally
useful
and
thus
not
#
recommended.
#
#
#
set
record="~/sent"
#
#
Name:
record
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
"~/sent"
#
#
#
This
specifies
the
file
into
which
your
outgoing
messages
should
be
#
appended.
(This
is
meant
as
the
primary
method
for
saving
a
copy
of
#
your
messages
but
another
way
to
do
this
is
using
the
``my_hdr''
#
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.
#
#
#
set
reply_regexp="^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[
\t]*"
#
#
Name:
reply_regexp
#
Type:
regular
expression
#
Default:
"^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[
\t]*"
#
#
#
A
regular
expression
used
to
recognize
reply
messages
when
threading
#
and
replying.
The
default
value
corresponds
to
the
English
"Re:"
and
#
the
German
"Aw:".
#
#
#
set
reply_self=no
#
#
Name:
reply_self
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
unset
and
you
are
replying
to
a
message
sent
by
you
Mutt
will
#
assume
that
you
want
to
reply
to
the
recipients
of
that
message
rather
#
than
to
yourself.
#
#
#
set
reply_to=ask-yes
#
#
Name:
reply_to
#
Type:
quadoption
#
Default:
ask-yes
#
#
#
If
set
when
replying
to
a
message
Mutt
will
use
the
address
listed
#
in
the
Reply-to:
header
as
the
recipient
of
the
reply.
If
unset
#
it
will
use
the
address
in
the
From:
header
field
instead.
This
#
option
is
useful
for
reading
a
mailing
list
that
sets
the
Reply-To:
#
header
field
to
the
list
address
and
you
want
to
send
a
private
#
message
to
the
author
of
a
message.
#
#
#
set
resolve=yes
#
#
Name:
resolve
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
the
cursor
will
be
automatically
advanced
to
the
next
#
(possibly
undeleted)
message
whenever
a
command
that
modifies
the
#
current
message
is
executed.
#
#
#
set
reverse_alias=no
#
#
Name:
reverse_alias
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
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
#
#
It
would
be
displayed
in
the
index
menu
as
``Joe
User''
instead
of
#
``abd30425@somewhere.net.''
This
is
useful
when
the
person's
e-mail
#
address
is
not
human
friendly
(like
CompuServe
addresses).
#
#
#
set
reverse_name=no
#
#
Name:
reverse_name
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
It
may
sometimes
arrive
that
you
receive
mail
to
a
certain
machine
#
move
the
messages
to
another
machine
and
reply
to
some
the
messages
#
from
there.
If
this
variable
is
set
the
default
From:
line
of
#
the
reply
messages
is
built
using
the
address
where
you
received
the
#
messages
you
are
replying
to
if
that
address
matches
your
#
alternates.
If
the
variable
is
unset
or
the
address
that
would
be
#
used
doesn't
match
your
alternates
the
From:
line
will
use
#
your
address
on
the
current
machine.
#
#
#
set
reverse_realname=yes
#
#
Name:
reverse_realname
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
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
#
possibly
including
eventual
real
names.
When
it
is
unset
mutt
will
#
override
any
such
real
names
with
the
setting
of
the
realname
variable.
#
#
#
set
rfc2047_parameters=no
#
#
Name:
rfc2047_parameters
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
this
variable
is
set
Mutt
will
decode
RFC-2047-encoded
MIME
#
parameters.
You
want
to
set
this
variable
when
mutt
suggests
you
#
to
save
attachments
to
files
named
like
this:
#
=?iso-8859-1?Q?file=5F=E4=5F991116=2Ezip?=
#
#
When
this
variable
is
set
interactively
the
change
doesn't
have
#
the
desired
effect
before
you
have
changed
folders.
#
#
Note
that
this
use
of
RFC
2047's
encoding
is
explicitly
#
prohibited
by
the
standard
but
nevertheless
encountered
in
the
#
wild.
#
Also
note
that
setting
this
parameter
will
not
have
the
effect
#
that
mutt
generates
this
kind
of
encoding.
Instead
mutt
will
#
unconditionally
use
the
encoding
specified
in
RFC
2231.
#
#
#
set
save_address=no
#
#
Name:
save_address
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
mutt
will
take
the
sender's
full
address
when
choosing
a
#
default
folder
for
saving
a
mail.
If
``$save_name''
or
``$force_name''
#
is
set
too
the
selection
of
the
fcc
folder
will
be
changed
as
well.
#
#
#
set
save_empty=yes
#
#
Name:
save_empty
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
unset
mailboxes
which
contain
no
saved
messages
will
be
removed
#
when
closed
(the
exception
is
``$spoolfile''
which
is
never
removed).
#
If
set
mailboxes
are
never
removed.
#
#
Note:
This
only
applies
to
mbox
and
MMDF
folders
Mutt
does
not
#
delete
MH
and
Maildir
directories.
#
#
#
set
save_history=0
#
#
Name:
save_history
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#
This
variable
controls
the
size
of
the
history
saved
in
the
#
``$history_file''
file.
#
#
#
set
save_name=no
#
#
Name:
save_name
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
This
variable
controls
how
copies
of
outgoing
messages
are
saved.
#
When
set
a
check
is
made
to
see
if
a
mailbox
specified
by
the
#
recipient
address
exists
(this
is
done
by
searching
for
a
mailbox
in
#
the
``$folder''
directory
with
the
username
part
of
the
#
recipient
address).
If
the
mailbox
exists
the
outgoing
message
will
#
be
saved
to
that
mailbox
otherwise
the
message
is
saved
to
the
#
``$record''
mailbox.
#
#
Also
see
the
``$force_name''
variable.
#
#
#
set
score=yes
#
#
Name:
score
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
this
variable
is
unset
scoring
is
turned
off.
This
can
#
be
useful
to
selectively
disable
scoring
for
certain
folders
when
the
#
``$score_threshold_delete''
variable
and
friends
are
used.
#
#
#
set
score_threshold_delete=-1
#
#
Name:
score_threshold_delete
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
-1
#
#
#
Messages
which
have
been
assigned
a
score
equal
to
or
lower
than
the
value
#
of
this
variable
are
automatically
marked
for
deletion
by
mutt.
Since
#
mutt
scores
are
always
greater
than
or
equal
to
zero
the
default
setting
#
of
this
variable
will
never
mark
a
message
for
deletion.
#
#
#
set
score_threshold_flag=9999
#
#
Name:
score_threshold_flag
#
Type:

Default:
9999
#
#
#
Messages
which
have
been
assigned
a
score
greater
than
or
equal
to
this

variable's
value
are
automatically
marked
"flagged".

#
#
set
score_threshold_read=-1
#

#
#
#
Messages
which
have
been
assigned
a
score
equal
to
or
lower
than
the
value
#
of
this
variable
are
automatically
marked
as
read
by
mutt.
Since
#
mutt
scores
are
always
greater
than
or
equal
to
zero
the
default
setting
#
of
this
variable
will
never
mark
a

read.
#
#
#
set
send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8"
#
#
Name:
send_charset
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8"
#
#
#
A
colon-delimited
list
of
character
sets
for
outgoing
messages.
Mutt
will
use
the
#
first
character
set
into
which
the
text
can
be
converted
exactly.
#
If
your
``$charset''
is
not
iso-8859-1
and
recipients
may
not
#
understand
UTF-8
it
is
advisable
to
include
in
the
list
an
#
appropriate
widely
used
standard
character
set
(such
as
#
iso-8859-2
koi8-r
or
iso-2022-jp)
either
instead
of
or
after
#
"iso-8859-1".
#
#
In
case
the
text
cannot
be
converted
into
one
of
these
exactly
#
mutt
uses
``$charset''
as
a
fallback.
#
#
#
set
sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail

-oi"
#
#
Name:
sendmail
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
"/usr/sbin/sendmail
-oem
-oi"
#
#
#
Specifies
the
program
and
arguments
used
to
deliver
mail
sent
by
Mutt.
#
Mutt
expects
that
the
specified
program
interprets
additional
#
arguments
as
recipient
addresses.
#
#
#
set
sendmail_wait=0
#
#
Name:
sendmail_wait
#
Type:

Default:
0
#
#
#
Specifies
the
number
of
seconds
to
wait
for
the
``$sendmail''
process
#
to
finish
before
giving
up
and
putting
delivery
in
the
background.
#
#
Mutt
interprets
the
value
of
this
variable
as
follows:
#
>0
number
of
seconds
to
wait
for
sendmail
to
finish
before
continuing
#
0
wait
forever
for
sendmail
to
finish
#
<0
always
put
sendmail
in
the
background
without
waiting
#
#
#
Note
that
if
you
specify
a
value
other
than
0
the
output
of
the
child
#
process
will
be
put
in
a
temporary
file.
If
there
is
some
error
you
#
will
be
informed
as
to
where
to
find
the

Default:
""
#
#
#
Command
to
use
when
spawning
a
subshell.
By
default
the
user's
login
#
shell
from
/etc/passwd
is
used.
#
#
#
set
sig_dashes=yes
#
#
Name:
sig_dashes
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
If
set
a
line
containing
``--
''
will
be
inserted
before
your
#
``$signature''.
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
you
not
unset
#
this
variable
unless
your
``signature''
contains
just
your
name.
The
#
reason
for
this
is
because
many
software
packages
use
``--
\n''
to
#
detect
your
signature.
For
example
Mutt
has
the
ability
to
highlight
#
the
signature
in
a
different
color
in
the
builtin
pager.
#
#
#
set
sig_on_top=no
#
#
Name:
sig_on_top
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
the
signature
will
be
included
before
any
quoted
or
forwarded
#
text.
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
you
do
not
set
this
variable
#
unless
you
really
know
what
you
are
doing
and
are
prepared
to
take
#
some
heat
from
netiquette
guardians.
#
#
#
set
signature="~/.signature"
#
#
Name:
signature
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
"~/.signature"
#
#
#
Specifies
the
filename
of
your
signature
which
is
appended
to
all
#
outgoing
messages.
If
the
filename
ends
with
a
pipe
(``|'')
it
is
#
assumed
that
filename
is
a
shell
command
and
input
should
be
read
from
#
its
stdout.
#
#
#
set

#
#
Name:
simple_search
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"~f
%s
|
~s
%s"
#
#
#
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
~
#
operators.
See
``patterns''
for
more
information
on
search
patterns.
#
#
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.
#
For
the
default
value
it
would
be:
#
#
~f
joe
|
~s
joe
#
#
#
set
smart_wrap=yes

#
Controls
the

of
lines
longer
than
the
screen
width
in
the
#
internal
pager.
If
set
long
lines
are
wrapped
at
a
word
boundary.
If
#
unset
lines
are
simply
wrapped
at
the
screen
edge.

#
Type:
regular
expression
#
Default:
"(>From

#
#
#
The
pager
uses
this
variable
to
catch
some
common
false
#
positives
of
``$quote_regexp''
most
notably
smileys
in
the
beginning
#
of
a

#
#
#
set
sleep_time=1
#
#
Name:
sleep_time
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
1
#
#
#
Specifies
time
in
seconds
to
pause
while
displaying
certain
informational
#
messages
while
moving
from
folder
to
folder
and
after
expunging
#
messages
from
the
current
folder.
The
default
is
to
pause
one
second
so
#
a
value
of
zero
for
this
option
suppresses
the
pause.
#
#
#
set
smtp_authenticators=""
#
#
Name:
smtp_authenticators
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
is
a
colon-delimited
list
of
authentication
methods
mutt
may
#
attempt
to
use
to
log
in
to
an
SMTP
server
in
the
order
mutt
should
#
try
them.
Authentication
methods
are
any
SASL
mechanism
eg
#
``digest-md5''
``gssapi''
or
``cram-md5''.
#
This
parameter
is
case-insensitive.
If
this
parameter
is
unset
#
(the
default)
mutt
will
try
all
available
methods
in
order
from
#
most-secure
to
least-secure.
#
#
Example:
set
smtp_authenticators="digest-md5:cram-md5"
#
#
#
set
smtp_pass=""
#
#
Name:
smtp_pass
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Specifies
the
password
for
your
SMTP
account.
If
unset
Mutt
will
#
prompt
you
for
your
password
when
you
first
send
mail
via
SMTP.
#
See
``smtp_url''
to
configure
mutt
to
send
mail
via
SMTP.
#
Warning:
you
should
only
use
this
option
when
you
are
on
a
#
fairly
secure
machine
because
the
superuser
can
read
your
muttrc
even
#
if
you
are
the
only
one
who
can
read
the
file.
#
#
#
set
smtp_url=""
#
#
Name:
smtp_url
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Defines
the
SMTP
``smart''
host
where
sent
messages
should
relayed
for
#
delivery.
This
should
take
the
form
of
an
SMTP
URL
eg:
#
#
smtp[s]://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/
#
#
Setting
this
variable
overrides
the
value
of
the
``$sendmail''
#
variable.
#
#
#
set
sort=date
#
#
Name:
sort
#
Type:
sort
order
#
Default:
date
#
#
#
Specifies
how
to
sort
messages
in
the
index
menu.
Valid
values
#
are:
#
#
date
or
date-sent
#
date-received
#
from
#
mailbox-order
(unsorted)
#
score
#
size
#
spam
#
subject
#
threads
#
to
#
#
You
may
optionally
use
the
reverse-
prefix
to
specify
reverse
sorting
#
order
(example:
set
sort=reverse-date-sent).
#
#
#
set
sort_alias=alias
#
#
Name:
sort_alias
#
Type:
sort
order
#
Default:
alias
#
#
#
Specifies
how
the
entries
in
the
`alias'
menu
are
sorted.
The
#
following
are
legal
values:
#
#
address
(sort
alphabetically
by
email
address)
#
alias
(sort
alphabetically
by
alias
name)
#
unsorted
(leave
in
order
specified
in
.muttrc)
#
#
#
set
sort_aux=date
#
#
Name:
sort_aux
#
Type:
sort
order
#
Default:
date
#
#
#
When
sorting
by
threads
this
variable
controls
how
threads
are
sorted
#
in
relation
to
other
threads
and
how
the
branches
of
the
thread
trees
#
are
sorted.
This
can
be
set
to
any
value
that
``$sort''
can
except
#
threads
(in
that
case
mutt
will
just
use
date-sent).
You
can
also
#
specify
the
last-
prefix
in
addition
to
the
reverse-
prefix
but
last-
#
must
come
after
reverse-.
The
last-
prefix
causes
messages
to
be
#
sorted
against
its
siblings
by
which
has
the
last
descendant
using
#
the
rest
of
sort_aux
as
an
ordering.
For
instance
set
sort_aux=last-
#
date-received
would
mean
that
if
a
new
message
is
received
in
a
#
thread
that
thread
becomes
the
last
one
displayed
(or
the
first
if
#
you
have
set
sort=reverse-threads.)
Note:
For
reversed
``$sort''
#
order
$sort_aux
is
reversed
again
(which
is
not
the
right
thing
to
do
#
but
kept
to
not
break
any
existing
configuration
setting).
#
#
#
set
sort_browser=alpha
#
#
Name:
sort_browser
#
Type:
sort
order
#
Default:
alpha
#
#
#
Specifies
how
to
sort
entries
in
the
file
browser.
By
default
the
#
entries
are
sorted
alphabetically.
Valid
values:
#
#
alpha
(alphabetically)
#
date
#
size
#
unsorted
#
#
You
may
optionally
use
the
reverse-
prefix
to
specify
reverse
sorting
#
order
(example:
set
sort_browser=reverse-date).
#
#
#
set
sort_re=yes
#
#
Name:
sort_re
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
This
variable
is
only
useful
when
sorting
by
threads
with
#
``$strict_threads''
unset.
In
that
case
it
changes
the
heuristic
#
mutt
uses
to
thread
messages
by
subject.
With
sort_re
set
mutt
will
#
only
attach
a
message
as
the
child
of
another
message
by
subject
if
#
the
subject
of
the
child
message
starts
with
a
substring
matching
the
#
setting
of
``$reply_regexp''.
With
sort_re
unset
mutt
will
attach
#
the
message
whether
or
not
this
is
the
case
as
long
as
the
#
non-``$reply_regexp''
parts
of
both
messages
are
identical.
#
#
#
set
spam_separator="
"
#
#
Name:
spam_separator
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"
"
#
#
#
``spam_separator''
controls
what
happens
when
multiple
spam
headers
#
are
matched:
if
unset
each
successive
header
will
overwrite
any
#
previous
matches
value
for
the
spam
label.
If
set
each
successive
#
match
will
append
to
the
previous
using
``spam_separator''
as
a
#
separator.
#
#
#
set
spoolfile=""
#
#
Name:
spoolfile
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
If
your
spool
mailbox
is
in
a
non-default
place
where
Mutt
cannot
find
#
it
you
can
specify
its
location
with
this
variable.
Mutt
will
#
automatically
set
this
variable
to
the
value
of
the
environment
#
variable
$MAIL
if
it
is
not
set.
#
#
#
set
status_chars="-*%A"
#
#
Name:
status_chars
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"-*%A"
#
#
#
Controls
the
characters
used
by
the
"%r"
indicator
in
#
``$status_format''.
The
first
character
is
used
when
the
mailbox
is
#
unchanged.
The
second
is
used
when
the
mailbox
has
been
changed
and
#
it
needs
to
be
resynchronized.
The
third
is
used
if
the
mailbox
is
in
#
read-only
mode
or
if
the
mailbox
will
not
be
written
when
exiting
#
that
mailbox
(You
can
toggle
whether
to
write
changes
to
a
mailbox
#
with
the
toggle-write
operation
bound
by
default
to
"%").
The
fourth
#
is
used
to
indicate
that
the
current
folder
has
been
opened
in
attach-
#
message
mode
(Certain
operations
like
composing
a
new
mail
replying
#
forwarding
etc.
are
not
permitted
in
this
mode).

=
can
be
optionally
printed
if
nonzero
#
#
Some
of
the
above
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:
#
#
%?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
#
#
where
sequence_char
is
a
character
from
the
table
above
and
#
optional_string
is
the
string
you
would
like
printed
if
#
sequence_char
is
nonzero.
optional_string
may
contain
#
other
sequences
as
well
as
normal
text
but
you
may
not
nest
#
optional
strings.
#
#
Here
is
an
example
illustrating
how
to
optionally
print
the
number
of
#
new
messages
in
a
mailbox:
#
%?n?%n
new
messages.?
#
#
You
can
also
switch
between
two
strings
using
the
following
construct:
#
#
%?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
#
#
If
the
value
of
sequence_char
is
non-zero
if_string
will
#
be
expanded
otherwise
else_string
will
be
expanded.
#
#
You
can
force
the
result
of
any
printf-like
sequence
to
be
lowercase
#
by
prefixing
the
sequence
character
with
an
underscore
(_)
sign.
#
For
example
if
you
want
to
display
the
local
hostname
in
lowercase
#
you
would
use:
#
%_h
#
#
If
you
prefix
the
sequence
character
with
a
colon
(:)
character
mutt
#
will
replace
any
dots
in
the
expansion
by
underscores.
This
might
be
helpful
#
with
IMAP
folders
that
don't
like
dots
in
folder
names.
#
#
#
set
status_on_top=no
#
#
Name:
status_on_top
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Setting
this
variable
causes
the
``status
bar''
to
be
displayed
on
#
the
first
line
of
the
screen
rather
than
near
the
bottom.
#
#
#
set
strict_threads=no
#
#
Name:
strict_threads
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
If
set
threading
will
only
make
use
of
the
``In-Reply-To''
and
#
``References''
fields
when
you
``$sort''
by
message
threads.
By
#
default
messages
with
the
same
subject
are
grouped
together
in
#
``pseudo
threads.''.
This
may
not
always
be
desirable
such
as
in
a
#
personal
mailbox
where
you
might
have
several
unrelated
messages
with
#
the
subject
``hi''
which
will
get
grouped
together.
See
also
#
``$sort_re''
for
a
less
drastic
way
of
controlling
this
#
behaviour.
#
#
#
set
suspend=yes
#
#
Name:
suspend
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
unset
mutt
won't
stop
when
the
user
presses
the
terminal's
#
susp
key
usually
``control-Z''.
This
is
useful
if
you
run
mutt
#
inside
an
xterm
using
a
command
like
xterm
-e
mutt.
#
#
#
set
text_flowed=no
#
#
Name:
text_flowed
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
generate
text/plain
format=flowed
attachments.
#
This
format
is
easier
to
handle
for
some
mailing
software
and
generally
#
just
looks
like
ordinary
text.
To
actually
make
use
of
this
format's
#
features
you'll
need
support
in
your
editor.
#
#
Note
that
$indent_string
is
ignored
when
this
option
is
set.
#
#
#
set
thread_received=no
#
#
Name:
thread_received
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
uses
the
date
received
rather
than
the
date
sent
#
to
thread
messages
by
subject.
#
#
#
set
thorough_search=no
#
#
Name:
thorough_search
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Affects
the
~b
and
~h
search
operations
described
in
#
section
``patterns''
above.
If
set
the
headers
and
attachments
of
#
messages
to
be
searched
are
decoded
before
searching.
If
unset
#
messages
are
searched
as
they
appear
in

#
#
#
set
tilde=no
#
#
Name:
tilde
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
the
internal-pager
will
pad
blank
lines
to
the
bottom
of
the
#
screen
with
a
tilde
(~).
#
#
#
set
time_inc=0
#
#
Name:
time_inc
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#
Along
with
``read_inc''
``write_inc''
and
``net_inc''
this
#
variable
controls
the
frequency
with
which
progress
updates
are
#
displayed.
It
suppresses
updates
less
than
``time_inc''
milliseconds
#
apart.
This
can
improve
throughput
on
systems
with
slow
terminals
#
or
when
running
mutt
on
a
remote
system.
#
#
#
set
timeout=600
#
#
Name:
timeout
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
600
#
#
#
When
Mutt
is
waiting
for
user
input
either
idleing
in
menus
or
#
in
an
interactive
prompt
Mutt
would
block
until
input
is
#
present.
Depending
on
the
context
this
would
prevent
certain
#
operations
from
working
like
checking
for
new
mail
or
keeping
#
an
IMAP
connection
alive.
#
#
This
variable
controls
how
many
seconds
Mutt
will
at
most
wait
#
until
it
aborts
waiting
for
input
performs
these
operations
and
#
continues
to
wait
for
input.
#
#
A
value
of
zero
or
less
will
cause
Mutt
to
never
time
out.
#
#
#
set
tmpdir=""
#
#
Name:
tmpdir
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
This
variable
allows
you
to
specify
where
Mutt
will
place
its
#
temporary
files
needed
for
displaying
and
composing
messages.
If
#
this
variable
is
not
set
the
environment
variable
TMPDIR
is
#
used.
If
TMPDIR
is
not
set
then
"/tmp"
is
used.
#
#
#
set
to_chars="
+TCFL"
#
#
Name:
to_chars
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
"
+TCFL"
#
#
#
Controls
the
character
used
to
indicate
mail
addressed
to
you.
The
#
first
character
is
the
one
used
when
the
mail
is
NOT
addressed
to
your
#
address
(default:
space).
The
second
is
used
when
you
are
the
only
#
recipient
of
the
message
(default:
+).
The
third
is
when
your
address
#
appears
in
the
TO
header
field
but
you
are
not
the
only
recipient
of
#
the
message
(default:
T).
The
fourth
character
is
used
when
your
#
address
is
specified
in
the
CC
header
field
but
you
are
not
the
only
#
recipient.
The
fifth
character
is
used
to
indicate
mail
that
was
sent
#
by
you.
The
sixth
character
is
used
to
indicate
when
a
mail
#
was
sent
to
a
mailing-list
you
subscribe
to
(default:
L).
#
#
#
set
tunnel=""
#
#
Name:
tunnel
#
Type:
string
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Setting
this
variable
will
cause
mutt
to
open
a
pipe
to
a
command
#
instead
of
a
raw
socket.
You
may
be
able
to
use
this
to
set
up
#
preauthenticated
connections
to
your
IMAP/POP3
server.
Example:
#
#
tunnel="ssh
-q
mailhost.net
/usr/local/libexec/imapd"
#
#
NOTE:
For
this
example
to
work
you
must
be
able
to
log
in
to
the
remote
#
machine
without
having
to
enter
a
password.
#
#
#
set
use_8bitmime=no
#
#
Name:
use_8bitmime
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
Warning:
do
not
set
this
variable
unless
you
are
using
a
version
#
of
sendmail
which
supports
the
-B8BITMIME
flag
(such
as
sendmail
#
8.8.x)
or
you
may
not
be
able
to
send
mail.
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
invoke
``$sendmail''
with
the
-B8BITMIME
#
flag
when
sending
8-bit
messages
to
enable
ESMTP
negotiation.
#
#
#
set
use_domain=yes
#
#
Name:
use_domain
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
qualify
all
local
addresses
(ones
without
the
#
@host
portion)
with
the
value
of
``$hostname''.
If
unset
no
#
addresses
will
be
qualified.
#
#
#
set
use_envelope_from=no
#
#
Name:
use_envelope_from
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
no
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
set
the
envelope
sender
of
the
message.
#
If
``$envelope_from_address''
is
set
it
will
be
used
as
the
sender
#
address.
If
not
mutt
will
attempt
to
derive
the
sender
from
the
#
"From:"
header.
#
#
Note
that
this
information
is
passed
to
sendmail
command
using
the
#
"-f"
command
line
switch.
Therefore
setting
this
option
is
not
useful
#
if
the
``$sendmail''
variable
already
contains
"-f"
or
if
the
#
executable
pointed
to
by
$sendmail
doesn't
support
the
"-f"
switch.
#
#
#
set
use_from=yes
#
#
Name:
use_from
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
generate
the
`From:'
header
field
when
#
sending
messages.
If
unset
no
`From:'
header
field
will
be
#
generated
unless
the
user
explicitly
sets
one
using
the
``my_hdr''
#
command.
#
#
#
set
use_idn=yes
#
#
Name:
use_idn
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
show
you
international
domain
names
decoded.
#
Note:
You
can
use
IDNs
for
addresses
even
if
this
is
unset.
#
This
variable
only
affects
decoding.
#
#
#
set
use_ipv6=yes
#
#
Name:
use_ipv6
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
look
for
IPv6
addresses
of
hosts
it
tries
to
#
contact.
If
this
option
is
unset
Mutt
will
restrict
itself
to
IPv4
addresses.
#
Normally
the
default
should
work.
#
#
#
set
user_agent=yes
#
#
Name:
user_agent
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
When
set
mutt
will
add
a
"User-Agent"
header
to
outgoing
#
messages
indicating
which
version
of
mutt
was
used
for
composing
#
them.
#
#
#
set
visual=""
#
#
Name:
visual
#
Type:
path
#
Default:
""
#
#
#
Specifies
the
visual
editor
to
invoke
when
the
~v
command
is
#
given
in
the
builtin
editor.
#
#
#
set
wait_key=yes
#
#
Name:
wait_key
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
Mutt
will
ask
you
to
press
a
key
after
shell-
#
escape
pipe-message
pipe-entry
print-message
#
and
print-entry
commands.
#
#
It
is
also
used
when
viewing
attachments
with
``auto_view''
provided
#
that
the
corresponding
mailcap
entry
has
a
needsterminal
flag
#
and
the
external
program
is
interactive.
#
#
When
set
Mutt
will
always
ask
for
a
key.
When
unset
Mutt
will
wait
#
for
a
key
only
if
the
external
command
returned
a
non-zero
status.
#
#
#
set
weed=yes
#
#
Name:
weed
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:

forwarding
#
printing
or
replying
to
messages.
#
#
#
set
wrap=0
#
#
Name:
wrap
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#
When
set
to
a
positive
value
mutt
will
wrap
text
at
$wrap
characters.
#
When
set
to
a
negative
value
mutt
will
wrap
text
so
that
there
are
$wrap
#
characters
of
empty
space
on
the
right
side
of
the
terminal.
#
#
#
set
wrap_search=yes
#
#
Name:
wrap_search
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
searches
wrap
around
the
end
of
the
mailbox.
#
#
When
set
searches
will
wrap
around
the
first
(or
last)
message.
When
#
unset
searches
will
not
wrap.
#
#
#
set
wrapmargin=0
#
#
Name:
wrapmargin
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
0
#
#
#
(DEPRECATED)

#
#
Name:
write_inc
#
Type:
number
#
Default:
10
#
#
#
When
writing
a
mailbox
a
message
will
be
printed
every
#
write_inc
messages
to
indicate
progress.
If
set
to
0
only
a
#
single
message
will
be
displayed
before
writing
a
mailbox.
#
#
Also
see
the
``$read_inc''
variable.
#
#
#
set
write_bcc=yes
#
#
Name:
write_bcc
#
Type:
boolean
#
Default:
yes
#
#
#
Controls
whether
mutt
writes
out
the
Bcc
header
when
preparing
#
messages
to
be
sent.
Exim
users
may
wish
to
unset
this.
If
mutt
#
is
set
to
deliver
directly
via
SMTP
(see
``$smtp_url'')
this
#
option
does
nothing:
mutt
will
never
write
out
the
BCC
header
#
in
this
case.

-*-muttrc-*-
#
#
Command
formats
for
gpg.
#
#
This
version
uses
gpg-2comp
from
#
http://70t.de/download/gpg-2comp.tar.gz
#
#
$Id$
#
#
%p
The
empty
string
when
no
passphrase
is
needed
#
the
string
"PGPPASSFD=0"
if
one
is
needed.
#
#
This
is
mostly
used
in
conditional
%
sequences.
#
#
%f
Most
PGP
commands
operate
on
a
single
file
or
a
file
#
containing
a
message.
%f
expands
to
this
file's
name.
#
#
%s
When
verifying
signatures
there
is
another
temporary
file
#
containing
the
detached
signature.
%s
expands
to
this
#
file's
name.
#
#
%a
In
"signing"
contexts
this
expands
to
the
value
of
the
#
configuration
variable
$pgp_sign_as.
You
probably
need
to
#
use
this
within
a
conditional
%
sequence.
#
#
%r
In
many
contexts
mutt
passes
key
IDs
to
pgp.
%r
expands
to
#
a
list
of
key
IDs.
#
Note
that
we
explicitly
set
the
comment
armor
header
since
GnuPG
when
used
#
in
some
localiaztion
environments
generates
8bit
data
in
that
header
thereby
#
breaking
PGP/MIME.
