12 # If set to yes, when composing messages and no subject is given
13 # at the subject prompt, composition will be aborted. If set to
14 # no, composing messages with no subject given at the subject
15 # prompt will never be aborted.
18 # set abort_unmodified=yes
20 # Name: abort_unmodified
25 # If set to yes, composition will automatically abort after
26 # editing the message body if no changes are made to the file (this
27 # check only happens after the first edit of the file). When set
28 # to no, composition will never be aborted.

43 # Note: Mutt will not automatically source this file; you must
44 # explicitly use the ``source'' command for it to be executed.
46 # The default for this option is the currently used muttrc file, or
47 # ``~/.muttrc'' if no user muttrc was found.
50 # set alias_format="%4n %2f %t %-10a %r"
54 # Default: "%4n %2f %t %-10a %r"
57 # Specifies the format of the data displayed for the `alias' menu. The
58 # following printf(3)-style sequences are available:
61 # %f flags - currently, a "d" for an alias marked for deletion
63 # %r address which alias expands to
64 # %t character which indicates if the alias is tagged for inclusion
74 # Controls whether 8-bit data is converted to 7-bit using either Quoted-
75 # Printable or Base64 encoding when sending mail.
85 # Controls whether ANSI color codes in messages (and color tags in
86 # rich text messages) are to be interpreted.
87 # Messages containing these codes are rare, but if this option is set,
88 # their text will be colored accordingly. Note that this may override
89 # your color choices, and even present a security problem, since a
90 # message could include a line like "[-- PGP output follows ..." and
91 # give it the same color as your attachment color.
101 # When set, an arrow (``->'') will be used to indicate the current entry
102 # in menus instead of highlighting the whole line. On slow network or modem
103 # links this will make response faster because there is less that has to
104 # be redrawn on the screen when moving to the next or previous entries
115 # If set, Mutt will use plain ASCII characters when displaying thread
116 # and attachment trees, instead of the default ACS characters.
126 # If set, Mutt will prompt you for blind-carbon-copy (Bcc) recipients
127 # before editing an outgoing message.

151 # indication would be assumed that they are written in one of this list.
152 # By default, all the header fields and message body without any charset
153 # indication are assumed to be in "us-ascii".
155 # For example, Japanese users might prefer this:
157 # set assumed_charset="iso-2022-jp:euc-jp:shift_jis:utf-8"
159 # However, only the first content is valid for the message body.

223 # set attach_split=yes
230 # If this variable is unset, when operating (saving, printing, piping,
231 # etc) on a list of tagged attachments, Mutt will concatenate the
232 # attachments and will operate on them as a single attachment. The

309 # Controls whether you will be asked to confirm bouncing messages.
310 # If set to yes you don't get asked if you want to bounce a
311 # message. Setting this variable to no is not generally useful,
312 # and thus not recommended, because you are unable to bounce messages.

331 # Name: braille_friendly
336 # When this variable is set, mutt will place the cursor at the beginning
337 # of the current line in menus, even when the arrow_cursor variable
338 # is unset, making it easier for blind persons using Braille displays to

345 # Name: check_mbox_size
350 # When this variable is set, mutt will use file size attribute instead of
351 # access time when checking for new mail.
361 # Character set your terminal uses to display and enter textual data.
371 # Note: this option only affects maildir and MH style
374 # When set, Mutt will check for new mail delivered while the
375 # mailbox is open. Especially with MH mailboxes, this operation can
376 # take quite some time since it involves scanning the directory and
377 # checking each file to see if it has already been looked at. If
378 # check_new is unset, no check for new mail is performed
379 # while the mailbox is open.

501 # This variable controls the use of the GPGME-enabled crypto backends.
502 # If it is set and Mutt was built with gpgme support, the gpgme code for
503 # S/MIME and PGP will be used instead of the classic code. Note that

554 # call to process the date. See the man page for strftime(3) for
557 # Unless the first character in the string is a bang (``!''), the month
558 # and week day names are expanded according to the locale specified in

566 # set default_hook="~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)"
570 # Default: "~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)"
573 # This variable controls how message-hooks, reply-hooks, send-hooks,
574 # send2-hooks, save-hooks, and fcc-hooks will
575 # be interpreted if they are specified with only a simple regexp,
576 # instead of a matching pattern. The hooks are expanded when they are
577 # declared, so a hook will be interpreted according to the value of this
578 # variable at the time the hook is declared. The default value matches
579 # if the message is either from a user matching the regular expression
580 # given, or if it is from you (if the from address matches
581 # ``alternates'') and is to or cc'ed to a user matching the given
582 # regular expression.
592 # Controls whether or not messages are really deleted when closing or
593 # synchronizing a mailbox. If set to yes, messages marked for
594 # deleting will automatically be purged without prompting. If set to
595 # no, messages marked for deletion will be kept in the mailbox.
599 # set delete_untag=yes
606 # If this option is set, mutt will untag messages when marking them
607 # for deletion. This applies when you either explicitly delete a message,
608 # or when you save it to another folder.
611 # set digest_collapse=yes
613 # Name: digest_collapse
618 # If this option is set, mutt's received-attachments menu will not show the subparts of
619 # individual messages in a multipart/digest. To see these subparts, press 'v' on that menu.
622 # set display_filter=""
624 # Name: display_filter
629 # When set, specifies a command used to filter messages. When a message
630 # is viewed it is passed as standard input to $display_filter, and the
631 # filtered message is read from the standard output.
634 # set dotlock_program="/usr/bin/mutt_dotlock"

641 # Contains the path of the mutt_dotlock (8) binary to be used by
652 # Note: you should not enable this unless you are using Sendmail
655 # This variable sets the request for when notification is returned. The
656 # string consists of a comma separated list (no spaces!) of one or more
657 # of the following: never, to never request notification,
658 # failure, to request notification on transmission failure,
659 # delay, to be notified of message delays, success, to be
660 # notified of successful transmission.
662 # Example: set dsn_notify="failure,delay"
672 # Note: you should not enable this unless you are using Sendmail
675 # This variable controls how much of your message is returned in DSN
676 # messages. It may be set to either hdrs to return just the
677 # message header, or full to return the full message.
679 # Example: set dsn_return=hdrs
682 # set duplicate_threads=yes
684 # Name: duplicate_threads
689 # This variable controls whether mutt, when sorting by threads, threads
690 # messages with the same message-id together. If it is set, it will indicate
691 # that it thinks they are duplicates of each other with an equals sign
692 # in the thread diagram.
695 # set edit_headers=no
702 # This option allows you to edit the header of your outgoing messages
703 # along with the body of your message.
714 # This variable specifies which editor is used by mutt.
715 # It defaults to the value of the VISUAL, or EDITOR, environment
716 # variable, or to the string "/usr/bin/editor" if neither of those are set.
718 set editor="mailplate --edit --auto --keep-unknown"
727 # When set, mutt will quoted-printable encode messages when
728 # they contain the string "From " in the beginning of a line.

730 # agents tend to do with messages.
733 # set envelope_from_address=""
735 # Name: envelope_from_address
736 # Type: e-mail address
740 # Manually sets the envelope sender for outgoing messages.
741 # This value is ignored if ``$use_envelope_from'' is unset.
751 # Escape character to use for functions in the builtin editor.
761 # When set, the initial prompt for recipients and subject are skipped
762 # when replying to messages, and the initial prompt for subject is
763 # skipped when forwarding messages.
765 # Note: this variable has no effect when the ``$autoedit''
777 # This variable controls whether or not attachments on outgoing messages
778 # are saved along with the main body of your message.
789 # When this variable is set, FCCs will be stored unencrypted and
790 # unsigned, even when the actual message is encrypted and/or
795 # set folder="~/Mail"
802 # Specifies the default location of your mailboxes. A `+' or `=' at the
803 # beginning of a pathname will be expanded to the value of this
804 # variable. Note that if you change this variable from the default
805 # value you need to make sure that the assignment occurs before
806 # you use `+' or `=' for any other variables since expansion takes place
807 # during the `set' command.

813 # Name: folder_format
815 # Default: "%2C %t %N %F %2l %-8.8u %-8.8g %8s %d %f"
818 # This variable allows you to customize the file browser display to your
819 # personal taste. This string is similar to ``$index_format'', but has
820 # its own set of printf()-like sequences:
822 # %C current file number
823 # %d date/time folder was last modified
825 # %F file permissions

836 # set followup_to=yes
843 # Controls whether or not the Mail-Followup-To header field is
844 # generated when sending mail. When set, Mutt will generate this
845 # field when you are replying to a known mailing list, specified with
846 # the ``subscribe'' or ``lists'' commands.
848 # This field has two purposes. First, preventing you from
849 # receiving duplicate copies of replies to messages which you send
850 # to mailing lists, and second, ensuring that you do get a reply
851 # separately for any messages sent to known lists to which you are
852 # not subscribed. The header will contain only the list's address
853 # for subscribed lists, and both the list address and your own
854 # email address for unsubscribed lists. Without this header, a
855 # group reply to your message sent to a subscribed list will be
856 # sent to both the list and your address, resulting in two copies
857 # of the same email for you.
867 # This variable is similar to ``$save_name'', except that Mutt will
868 # store a copy of your outgoing message by the username of the address
869 # you are sending to even if that mailbox does not exist.
871 # Also see the ``$record'' variable.
874 # set forward_decode=yes
876 # Name: forward_decode
881 # Controls the decoding of complex MIME messages into text/plain when
882 # forwarding a message. The message header is also RFC2047 decoded.
883 # This variable is only used, if ``$mime_forward'' is unset,
884 # otherwise ``$mime_forward_decode'' is used instead.
887 # set forward_edit=yes
894 # This quadoption controls whether or not the user is automatically
895 # placed in the editor when forwarding messages. For those who always want
896 # to forward with no modification, use a setting of ``no''.
899 # set forward_format="[%a: %s]"
901 # Name: forward_format
903 # Default: "[%a: %s]"
906 # This variable controls the default subject when forwarding a message.
907 # It uses the same format sequences as the ``$index_format'' variable.
910 # set forward_quote=no
912 # Name: forward_quote
917 # When set forwarded messages included in the main body of the
918 # message (when ``$mime_forward'' is unset) will be quoted using
919 # ``$indent_string''.
925 # Type: e-mail address
929 # When set, this variable contains a default from address. It
930 # can be overridden using my_hdr (including from send-hooks) and
931 # ``$reverse_name''. This variable is ignored if ``$use_from''
934 # Defaults to the contents of the environment variable EMAIL.
936 set from='martin f krafft <madduck@madduck.net>'
938 # set gecos_mask="^[^,]*"
941 # Type: regular expression
945 # A regular expression used by mutt to parse the GECOS field of a password
946 # entry when expanding the alias. By default the regular expression is set
947 # to "^[^,]*" which will return the string up to the first "," encountered.
948 # If the GECOS field contains a string like "lastname, firstname" then you
949 # should set the gecos_mask=".*".
951 # This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address a e-mail
952 # to user ID stevef whose full name is Steve Franklin. If mutt expands
953 # stevef to "Franklin" stevef@foo.bar then you should set the gecos_mask to
954 # a regular expression that will match the whole name so mutt will expand
955 # "Franklin" to "Franklin, Steve".
965 # When unset, the header fields normally added by the ``my_hdr''
966 # command are not created. This variable must be unset before
967 # composing a new message or replying in order to take effect. If set,
968 # the user defined header fields are added to every new message.
978 # When set, this variable causes Mutt to include the header
979 # of the message you are replying to into the edit buffer.
980 # The ``$weed'' setting applies.
990 # When set, help lines describing the bindings for the major functions
991 # provided by each menu are displayed on the first line of the screen.
993 # Note: The binding will not be displayed correctly if the
994 # function is bound to a sequence rather than a single keystroke. Also,
995 # the help line may not be updated if a binding is changed while Mutt is
996 # running. Since this variable is primarily aimed at new users, neither
997 # of these should present a major problem.
1000 # set hidden_host=no
1007 # When set, mutt will skip the host name part of ``$hostname'' variable
1008 # when adding the domain part to addresses. This variable does not

3860 # sorted against its siblings by which has the last descendant, using
3861 # the rest of sort_aux as an ordering. For instance, set sort_aux=last-
3862 # date-received would mean that if a new message is received in a
3863 # thread, that thread becomes the last one displayed (or the first, if
3864 # you have set sort=reverse-threads.) Note: For reversed ``$sort''

3886 # order (example: set sort_browser=reverse-date).
3896 # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with
3897 # ``$strict_threads'' unset. In that case, it changes the heuristic

3945 # that mailbox (You can toggle whether to write changes to a mailbox
3946 # with the toggle-write operation, bound by default to "%"). The fourth

3991 # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string
3992 # if their value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the
3993 # number of flagged messages if such messages exist, since zero is not
3994 # particularly meaningful. To optionally print a string based upon one
3995 # of the above sequences, the following construct is used:
3997 # %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
3999 # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and
4000 # optional_string is the string you would like printed if
4001 # sequence_char is nonzero. optional_string may contain
4002 # other sequences as well as normal text, but you may not nest
4005 # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of
4006 # new messages in a mailbox:
4007 # %?n?%n new messages.?
4009 # You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
4011 # %?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
4013 # If the value of sequence_char is non-zero, if_string will
4014 # be expanded, otherwise else_string will be expanded.
4016 # You can force the result of any printf-like sequence to be lowercase
4017 # by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (_) sign.
4018 # For example, if you want to display the local hostname in lowercase,
4022 # If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (:) character, mutt

4041 # Name: strict_threads
4046 # If set, threading will only make use of the ``In-Reply-To'' and
4047 # ``References'' fields when you ``$sort'' by message threads. By
4048 # default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in
4049 # ``pseudo threads.''. This may not always be desirable, such as in a
4050 # personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with
4051 # the subject ``hi'' which will get grouped together. See also
4052 # ``$sort_re'' for a less drastic way of controlling this
4063 # When unset, mutt won't stop when the user presses the terminal's
4064 # susp key, usually ``control-Z''. This is useful if you run mutt
4065 # inside an xterm using a command like xterm -e mutt.
4068 # set text_flowed=no
4075 # When set, mutt will generate text/plain; format=flowed attachments.
4076 # This format is easier to handle for some mailing software, and generally
4077 # just looks like ordinary text. To actually make use of this format's
4078 # features, you'll need support in your editor.
4080 # Note that $indent_string is ignored when this option is set.

4091 # to thread messages by subject.
4094 # set thorough_search=no
4096 # Name: thorough_search
4101 # Affects the ~b and ~h search operations described in
4102 # section ``patterns'' above. If set, the headers and attachments of
4103 # messages to be searched are decoded before searching. If unset,
4104 # messages are searched as they appear in the folder.
4106 set thorough_search=yes
4115 # When set, the internal-pager will pad blank lines to the bottom of the
4116 # screen with a tilde (~).
4126 # This variable controls the number of seconds Mutt will wait
4127 # for a key to be pressed in the main menu before timing out and
4128 # checking for new mail. A value of zero or less will cause Mutt
4129 # to never time out.
4139 # This variable allows you to specify where Mutt will place its
4140 # temporary files needed for displaying and composing messages. If
4141 # this variable is not set, the environment variable TMPDIR is
4142 # used. If TMPDIR is not set then "/tmp" is used.
4146 # set to_chars=" +TCFL"
4153 # Controls the character used to indicate mail addressed to you. The
4154 # first character is the one used when the mail is NOT addressed to your
4155 # address (default: space). The second is used when you are the only
4156 # recipient of the message (default: +). The third is when your address
4157 # appears in the TO header field, but you are not the only recipient of
4158 # the message (default: T). The fourth character is used when your
4159 # address is specified in the CC header field, but you are not the only
4160 # recipient. The fifth character is used to indicate mail that was sent
4161 # by you. The sixth character is used to indicate when a mail
4162 # was sent to a mailing-list you subscribe to (default: L).
4172 # If set, this variable specifies the path of the trash folder where the
4173 # mails marked for deletion will be moved, instead of being irremediably
4176 # NOTE: When you delete a message in the trash folder, it is really
4177 # deleted, so that you have a way to clean the trash.
4187 # Setting this variable will cause mutt to open a pipe to a command
4188 # instead of a raw socket. You may be able to use this to set up
4189 # preauthenticated connections to your IMAP/POP3 server. Example:
4191 # tunnel="ssh -q mailhost.net /usr/local/libexec/imapd"
4193 # NOTE: For this example to work you must be able to log in to the remote
4194 # machine without having to enter a password.

4205 # of sendmail which supports the -B8BITMIME flag (such as sendmail
4206 # 8.8.x) or you may not be able to send mail.
4208 # When set, Mutt will invoke ``$sendmail'' with the -B8BITMIME
4209 # flag when sending 8-bit messages to enable ESMTP negotiation.
4212 # set use_domain=yes
4219 # When set, Mutt will qualify all local addresses (ones without the
4220 # @host portion) with the value of ``$hostname''. If unset, no
4221 # addresses will be qualified.
4224 # set use_envelope_from=no
4226 # Name: use_envelope_from
4231 # When set, mutt will use ``$envelope_from_address'' as the
4232 # envelope sender if that is set, otherwise it will attempt to
4233 # derive it from the "From:" header. Note that this information is passed
4234 # to sendmail command using the "-f" command line switch, so don't set this
4235 # option if you are using that switch in $sendmail yourself,
4236 # or if the sendmail on your machine doesn't support that command
4247 # When set, Mutt will generate the `From:' header field when
4248 # sending messages. If unset, no `From:' header field will be
4249 # generated unless the user explicitly sets one using the ``my_hdr''
4260 # When set, Mutt will show you international domain names decoded.
4261 # Note: You can use IDNs for addresses even if this is unset.
4262 # This variable only affects decoding.
4272 # When set, Mutt will look for IPv6 addresses of hosts it tries to
4273 # contact. If this option is unset, Mutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses.
4274 # Normally, the default should work.
4277 # set user_agent=yes
4284 # When set, mutt will add a "User-Agent" header to outgoing
4285 # messages, indicating which version of mutt was used for composing
4296 # Specifies the visual editor to invoke when the ~v command is
4297 # given in the builtin editor.
4307 # Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after shell-
4308 # escape, pipe-message, pipe-entry, print-message,
4309 # and print-entry commands.
4311 # It is also used when viewing attachments with ``auto_view'', provided
4312 # that the corresponding mailcap entry has a needsterminal flag,
4313 # and the external program is interactive.
4315 # When set, Mutt will always ask for a key. When unset, Mutt will wait
4316 # for a key only if the external command returned a non-zero status.
4327 # When set, mutt will weed headers when displaying, forwarding,
4328 # printing, or replying to messages.
4338 # When set to a positive value, mutt will wrap text at $wrap characters.
4339 # When set to a negative value, mutt will wrap text so that there are $wrap
4340 # characters of empty space on the right side of the terminal.
4344 # set wrap_search=yes
4351 # Controls whether searches wrap around the end of the mailbox.
4353 # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) message. When
4354 # unset, searches will not wrap.
4364 # (DEPRECATED) Equivalent to setting wrap with a negative value.
4374 # When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every
4375 # write_inc messages to indicate progress. If set to 0, only a
4376 # single message will be displayed before writing a mailbox.
4378 # Also see the ``$read_inc'' variable.
4388 # Controls whether mutt writes out the Bcc header when preparing
4389 # messages to be sent. Exim users may wish to unset this. If mutt
4390 # is set to deliver directly via SMTP (see ``$smtp_url''), this
4391 # option does nothing: mutt will never write out the BCC header
4394 # Note: On Debian systems, exim4 and postfix strip BCC headers by
4395 # default. The above warning applies to exim3 users, see /etc/Muttrc.
