Because I accidentally destroyed my muttrc etc in synchronization with
another computer, I am revisiting this post to rebuild my muttrc.
I tried version 1
macro generic G "<shell-escape>/usr/bin/getmail -v<enter>" \
"Invoke Getmail"
in index mode it would say
"POP host is not defined." I use getmail to fetch mail so I don't set
pop host in muttrc. But once I set all parameters for pop in muttrc. 'G'
would launch mutt's internal fetch-mail function instead what I have set
in the macro.
in pager mode it does not either, it would say
"Key is not bound. Press '?' for help."
I understand this because generic does not include pager mode.
in browser mode it works.
I tried version 2
macro index,pager,browser G "<shell-escape>/usr/bin/getmail -v <enter>" \
"Invoke getmail"
this works well in 3 modes.
My question would be why version 2 works in 3 modes but version 1 does
not work in index mode?
Thank you very much!
