I'm in the process of trying to switch to mutt for my primary mail reader. While I'll probably continue to use Evolution during my GUI times, I'm going to be doing an increasing amount of work away from my desktop, so I need something that will work well over a standard SSH connection.
So far, I've gotten mutt to play nice with my IMAP server, I've set up mailing lists, and I've set up GPG support. There are still a few things that I need to do however. I've been reading through the mutt manual and setting things as I run across them, but I've still got quite a bit left to read and not much time to read it, hence why I'm asking here. 1) How can I set the default folder for mutt to use at startup? I've used "set folder="imap://..."" in my .muttrc, but this still requires me to do a c, =, <enter> when I start up mutt. I'd like my IMAP folder to automatically load up as soon as I start up mutt. 2) Is there any way to have mutt pass options to emacs when invoking my EDITOR? I'd like to automatically be in mail-mode with auto-fill enabled whenever emacs is called from mutt. (if anyone has suggestions for better modes to use, please do tell me) Is there a way of having mutt tell this to emacs? 3) I've set up all of my debian mailing lists in my .muttrc using 'subscribed'. Replying to a list using L works great. What I'm looking for now is some address book functionality. I'm pretty sure that I can set up aliases for quickly addressing messages, but what about storing extended info about contacts? 4) From looking at my messages on the waiting to be sent screen, it doesn't look like my From: line is being filled in at all. I'm sure I can set it up in my .muttrc to be whatever I want, but shouldn't it default to something intelligent like: Real Name (per /etc/passwd) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5) Any tips you might have for making life easier, especially in regards to dealing with debian-user.
