There is only one thing I can't figure out... In elm, if you havealias bob bob.barker@xxxxxxxx and bob sends you mail.. when you save that mail it is saved by default a a folder using the alias name (bob), not bob.barker.I can find no such config value to tickle for mutt that will permit the same.
There’s no direct macro, but you can accomplish what you’re looking for by using save-hooks. For bob, here, you can add the following to your muttrc:
save-hook '~f bob.barker@xxxxxxxx' =bobIt may be a little annoying because of the extra typing that comes with not being automatically generated from your aliases…
On the other hand, check this out: if you have a file that consists entirely of aliases (say, ~/.aliases), and you source that file from your ~/.muttrc, you can do something sneaky like this in your muttrc:
source ~/.aliases
source `~/.genhooks.sh && echo ~/.alias-hooks`
Then create the script ~/.genhooks.sh that looks something like this:
#!/bin/bash
[ ~/.aliases -ot ~/.alias-hooks ] && exit
rm ~/.alias-hooks
while true; do
read -a line
[ $? -ne 0 ] && break
echo "save-hook '~f ${line[2]}' =${line[1]}" > ~/.alias-hooks
done < ~/.aliases
That will regenerate all the hooks you need to duplicate your elm
behavior every time you load up mutt.
