Yep ;-) And I just found out I didn't had to use mail2alias.py for that to work... I've read all the mutt manual yesterday and I'm quite sure that "action" is not documented there :(
I believe it's just a keybinding or macro (don't know the difference) that's defined in the default .muttrc or maybe /etc/Muttrc. For all I know, that keybinding just calls something similar to "mail2alias.py" (???).
Anyway, that is still not what I wanted. For instance, what I get when I press "a" with and e-mail that has this header
-From: "Diogo Quintela (EF)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,...
is that "a" allows me to get "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but what I wanted was that it allowed me to select from a list, just like pine allows... For instance, it could do like this: " Multiple e-mail addresses found. Please choose the one you want: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "
For instance, what if someone tells you, in a mail:
" From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! About your problem, please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ! "
How do you take that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" address? write it down in a paper, exit mutt, add alias to file, enter mutt? (or some other combination of these actions, whatever)
mutt is just looking at certain headers, not text in the body of a message. Keep using your current method. :-)
