Feature: search--key for multiple boxes/folders

[calmar <mac@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I was thinking about a search key what allows to define in which
boxes mutt shall look for matching messages. E.g, when ~+ would
be that new (folder/box-) key:

~+ =inbox-.*  ~f foo@xxxxxxx

that would search for all 'From: foo@xxxxxxx' in all boxes
matching the pattern: $folder/inbox.*

Or so.

Reason: At least I split up big boxes into pieces. E.g I might
have: inbox-2007 inbox-2006 inbox-2005 inbox-2004 ...

When I have no idea where that mail could be, I could then search
inside mutt all boxes with a: ~+ inbox-.* , instead of 'grep
'...' inbox-*  in the shell, outside mutt.

cheers anyway
calmar
