That's a neat suggestion. This post is just to say I'm exploring it and
not ignoring you!
I'm currently playing with this:
folder-hook . 'macro index,pager d
"<copy-message>+ham<enter><save-message><enter>" "archive message"
folder-hook . 'save-hook . "$DELETE_FOLDER"'
folder-hook '^=me$' 'save-hook "~s ^LogWatch" "+bos-reports"'
This should load up a sequence of save-hooks based on the folder.
Is there any way to flush all the save-hooks if I change folders, or am
I stuck with just loading up the new set to override the older ones?
$DELETE_FOLDER is set up by my mutt wrapper to =OLD/YYYY/folder, this
doing the default archive.
My current difficulty is writing complex rules for the save-hook, because
that requires a third level of quote nesting.
Cheers,
