I was considering a macro to pipe the current message to a script that
sucks out the message id and writes a current-mailbox/.curr.mutt file
that I write at mailbox quit time and source at mailbox entry time.
That avoids the need for a patch, at a small performance hit (external
script).
I was thinking about bookmarks with a similar macro for saving the
message-id to a file (one file per bookmark, perhaps in a categoried
tree is this ever gets heavily used) and using a macro thus:
macro index G ':source ~/rc/mail/bookmarks/<tab>'
but I can't seem to fire off filename completion of the file browser at
that point; if I could that's an instant "bookmark browser" built right
into mutt. Suggestions?
Cheers,
