A number of people have implemented macros or hooks to take care of that and discussed them on the list in the past.

There is a site for Mutt rpm's, but I didn't see a RH9.0 % version there (maybe I missed it). We're working on that. Would you care to be an RPM builder for us? :-) % % A MUTTRC environment variable would be useful for two reasons.

Second, the reason I want this variable is that % I do wish to lower the clutter in my home directory, and a ~/.mutt... % directory, rather than a file, is still clutter. I put every single % .yadayada file which I write into a directory, and the only .yada file % I add to my home directory is .cshrc. Interesting. That's also easy, since you're in a script; just use -f to point to whatever file you want to source. % % At any rate, thanks everybody for feedback. Now I just need time to % digest it all...
