326 # 3.21. auto_subscribe
331 # When set, Mutt assumes the presence of a List-Post header means the recipient
332 # is subscribed to the list. Unless the mailing list is in the “unsubscribe” or “
333 # unlist” lists, it will be added to the “subscribe” list. Parsing and checking
334 # these things slows header reading down, so this option is disabled by default.
343 # When set, functions in the index menu which affect a message will be applied to

400 # When set, replying to an autocrypt email automatically enables autocrypt in the

621 # detection for these folder types is unreliable or doesn't work.
623 # Note that enabling this variable should happen before any “mailboxes”
624 # directives occur in configuration files regarding mbox or mmdf folders because

902 # protected-headers. Currently Mutt only supports the Subject header.
904 # Encrypted messages using protected headers often substitute the exposed Subject
905 # header with a dummy value (see $crypt_protected_headers_subject). Mutt will
906 # update its concept of the correct subject after the message is opened, i.e. via
907 # the <display-message> function. If you reply to a message before opening it,
908 # Mutt will end up using the dummy Subject header, so be sure to open such a
909 # message first. (Crypto only)
913 # 3.62. crypt_protected_headers_save
918 # When $crypt_protected_headers_read is set, and a message with a protected
919 # Subject is opened, Mutt will save the updated Subject into the header cache by
920 # default. This allows searching/limiting based on the protected Subject header
921 # if the mailbox is re-opened, without having to re-open the message each time.
922 # However, for mbox/mh mailbox types, or if header caching is not set up, you
923 # would need to re-open the message each time the mailbox was reopened before you
924 # could see or search/limit on the protected subject again.
926 # When this variable is set, Mutt additionally saves the protected Subject back
927 # in the clear-text message headers. This provides better usability, but with the
928 # tradeoff of reduced security. The protected Subject header, which may have
929 # previously been encrypted, is now stored in clear-text in the message headers.
930 # Copying the message elsewhere, via Mutt or external tools, could expose this
931 # previously encrypted data. Please make sure you understand the consequences of
932 # this before you enable this variable. (Crypto only)
936 # 3.63. crypt_protected_headers_subject
941 # When $crypt_protected_headers_write is set, and the message is marked for

1809 # group-replying to a message.
1818 # Specifies the fully-qualified hostname of the system mutt is running on
1819 # containing the host's name and the DNS domain it belongs to. It is used as the
1820 # domain part (after “@”) for local email addresses as well as Message-Id
1823 # Its value is determined at startup as follows: the node's hostname is first
1824 # determined by the uname(3) function. The domain is then looked up using the
1825 # gethostname(2) and getaddrinfo(3) functions. If those calls are unable to
1826 # determine the domain, the full value returned by uname is used. Optionally,
1827 # Mutt can be compiled with a fixed domain name in which case a detected one is
1830 # Starting in Mutt 2.0, the operations described in the previous paragraph are
1831 # performed after the muttrc is processed, instead of beforehand. This way, if
1832 # the DNS operations are creating delays at startup, you can avoid those by
1833 # manually setting the value in your muttrc.

1876 # Affects the behavior of the <reply> function when replying to messages from
1877 # mailing lists (as defined by the “subscribe” or “lists” commands). When set, if
1878 # the “Reply-To:” field is set to the same value as the “To:” field, Mutt assumes
1879 # that the “Reply-To:” field was set by the mailing list to automate responses to
1880 # the list, and will ignore this field. To direct a response to the mailing list
1881 # when this option is set, use the <list-reply> function; <group-reply> will

1897 # methods, in order from most-secure to least-secure.
1901 # set imap_authenticators="gssapi:cram-md5:login"
1903 # Note: Mutt will only fall back to other authentication methods if the previous
1904 # methods are unavailable. If a method is available but authentication fails,
1905 # mutt will not connect to the IMAP server.
1909 # 3.133. imap_check_subscribed
1914 # When set, mutt will fetch the set of subscribed folders from your server on
1915 # connection, and add them to the set of mailboxes it polls for new mail just as
1916 # if you had issued individual “mailboxes” commands.
1920 # 3.134. imap_condstore
1925 # When set, mutt will use the CONDSTORE extension (RFC 7162) if advertised by the
1926 # server. Mutt's current implementation is basic, used only for initial message
1927 # fetching and flag updates.
1929 # For some IMAP servers, enabling this will slightly speed up downloading initial
1930 # messages. Unfortunately, Gmail is not one those, and displays worse performance
1931 # when enabled. Your mileage may vary.
1935 # 3.135. imap_deflate
1940 # When set, mutt will use the COMPRESS=DEFLATE extension (RFC 4978) if advertised
1943 # In general a good compression efficiency can be achieved, which speeds up
1944 # reading large mailboxes also on fairly good connections.
1948 # 3.136. imap_delim_chars
1953 # This contains the list of characters which you would like to treat as folder
1954 # separators for displaying IMAP paths. In particular it helps in using the “=”
1955 # shortcut for your folder variable.
1959 # 3.137. imap_fetch_chunk_size
1961 # Type: number (long)
1964 # When set to a value greater than 0, new headers will be downloaded in groups of
1965 # this many headers per request. If you have a very large mailbox, this might
1966 # prevent a timeout and disconnect when opening the mailbox, by sending a FETCH
1967 # per set of this many headers, instead of a single FETCH for all new headers.
1971 # 3.138. imap_headers
1976 # Mutt requests these header fields in addition to the default headers (“Date:”,
1977 # “From:”, “Sender:”, “Subject:”, “To:”, “Cc:”, “Message-Id:”, “References:”, “
1978 # Content-Type:”, “Content-Description:”, “In-Reply-To:”, “Reply-To:”, “Lines:”,
1979 # “List-Post:”, “X-Label:”) from IMAP servers before displaying the index menu.
1980 # You may want to add more headers for spam detection.
1982 # Note: This is a space separated list, items should be uppercase and not contain
1983 # the colon, e.g. “X-BOGOSITY X-SPAM-STATUS” for the “X-Bogosity:” and “
1984 # X-Spam-Status:” header fields.
1993 # When set, mutt will attempt to use the IMAP IDLE extension to check for new
1994 # mail in the current mailbox. Some servers (dovecot was the inspiration for this
1995 # option) react badly to mutt's implementation. If your connection seems to
1996 # freeze up periodically, try unsetting this.
2000 # 3.140. imap_keepalive
2005 # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt will
2006 # wait before polling open IMAP connections, to prevent the server from closing
2007 # them before mutt has finished with them. The default is well within the
2008 # RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before a server is allowed to
2009 # do this, but in practice the RFC does get violated every now and then. Reduce
2010 # this number if you find yourself getting disconnected from your IMAP server due
2015 # 3.141. imap_list_subscribed
2020 # This variable configures whether IMAP folder browsing will look for only
2021 # subscribed folders or all folders. This can be toggled in the IMAP browser with
2022 # the <toggle-subscribed> function.
2031 # Your login name on the IMAP server.
2033 # This variable defaults to the value of $imap_user.
2037 # 3.143. imap_oauth_refresh_command
2042 # The command to run to generate an OAUTH refresh token for authorizing your
2043 # connection to your IMAP server. This command will be run on every connection
2044 # attempt that uses the OAUTHBEARER authentication mechanism. See “oauth” for
2054 # Specifies the password for your IMAP account. If unset, Mutt will prompt you
2055 # for your password when you invoke the <imap-fetch-mail> function or try to open
2058 # Warning: you should only use this option when you are on a fairly secure
2059 # machine, because the superuser can read your muttrc even if you are the only
2060 # one who can read the file.
2064 # 3.145. imap_passive
2069 # When set, mutt will not open new IMAP connections to check for new mail. Mutt
2070 # will only check for new mail over existing IMAP connections. This is useful if
2071 # you don't want to be prompted for user/password pairs on mutt invocation, or if
2072 # opening the connection is slow.
2081 # When set, mutt will avoid implicitly marking your mail as read whenever you
2082 # fetch a message from the server. This is generally a good thing, but can make
2083 # closing an IMAP folder somewhat slower. This option exists to appease speed
2088 # 3.147. imap_pipeline_depth
2093 # Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they are sent
2094 # to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time mutt must wait for
2095 # the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much more responsive. But not all
2096 # servers correctly handle pipelined commands, so if you have problems you might
2097 # want to try setting this variable to 0.
2099 # Note: Changes to this variable have no effect on open connections.
2103 # 3.148. imap_poll_timeout
2108 # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt will
2109 # wait for a response when polling IMAP connections for new mail, before timing
2110 # out and closing the connection. Set to 0 to disable timing out.
2114 # 3.149. imap_qresync
2119 # When set, mutt will use the QRESYNC extension (RFC 7162) if advertised by the
2120 # server. Mutt's current implementation is basic, used only for initial message
2121 # fetching and flag updates.
2123 # Note: this feature is currently experimental. If you experience strange
2124 # behavior, such as duplicate or missing messages please file a bug report to let
2129 # 3.150. imap_servernoise
2134 # When set, mutt will display warning messages from the IMAP server as error
2135 # messages. Since these messages are often harmless, or generated due to
2136 # configuration problems on the server which are out of the users' hands, you may
2137 # wish to suppress them at some point.
2146 # The name of the user whose mail you intend to access on the IMAP server.
2148 # This variable defaults to your user name on the local machine.
2152 # 3.152. implicit_autoview
2157 # If set to “yes”, mutt will look for a mailcap entry with the “copiousoutput”
2158 # flag set for every MIME attachment it doesn't have an internal viewer defined
2159 # for. If such an entry is found, mutt will use the viewer defined in that entry
2160 # to convert the body part to text form.
2162 set implicit_autoview=no
2170 # Controls whether or not a copy of the message(s) you are replying to is
2171 # included in your reply.
2176 # 3.154. include_encrypted
2181 # Controls whether or not Mutt includes separately encrypted attachment contents
2184 # This variable was added to prevent accidental exposure of encrypted contents
2185 # when replying to an attacker. If a previously encrypted message were attached
2186 # by the attacker, they could trick an unwary recipient into decrypting and
2187 # including the message in their reply.
2191 # 3.155. include_onlyfirst
2196 # Controls whether or not Mutt includes only the first attachment of the message
2201 # 3.156. indent_string
2206 # Specifies the string to prepend to each line of text quoted in a message to
2207 # which you are replying. You are strongly encouraged not to change this value,
2208 # as it tends to agitate the more fanatical netizens.
2210 # The value of this option is ignored if $text_flowed is set, because the quoting
2211 # mechanism is strictly defined for format=flowed.

3919 # <toggle-quoted> command, or colored according to the “color quoted” family of
3922 # Higher levels of quoting may be colored differently (“color quoted1”, “color
3923 # quoted2”, etc.). The quoting level is determined by removing the last character
3924 # from the matched text and recursively reapplying the regular expression until
3925 # it fails to produce a match.
3927 # Match detection may be overridden by the $smileys regular expression.
3936 # If set to a value greater than 0, Mutt will display which message it is
3937 # currently on when reading a mailbox or when performing search actions such as
3938 # search and limit. The message is printed after this many messages have been
3939 # read or searched (e.g., if set to 25, Mutt will print a message when it is at
3940 # message 25, and then again when it gets to message 50). This variable is meant
3941 # to indicate progress when reading or searching large mailboxes which may take
3942 # some time. When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the reading
3945 # Also see the $write_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the “tuning”
3946 # section of the manual for performance considerations.
3955 # If set, all folders are opened in read-only mode.

3967 # By default, this is the GECOS field from /etc/passwd. Note that this variable
3968 # will not be used when the user has set a real name in the $from variable.
3977 # Controls whether or not Mutt recalls postponed messages when composing a new

4069 # you want to reply to the recipients of that message rather than to yourself.
4071 # Also see the “alternates” command.
4080 # If set, when replying to a message, Mutt will use the address listed in the
4081 # Reply-to: header as the recipient of the reply. If unset, it will use the
4082 # address in the From: header field instead. This option is useful for reading a
4083 # mailing list that sets the Reply-To: header field to the list address and you
4084 # want to send a private message to the author of a message.

4099 # 3.282. resume_draft_files
4104 # If set, draft files (specified by -H on the command line) are processed
4105 # similarly to when resuming a postponed message. Recipients are not prompted
4106 # for; send-hooks are not evaluated; no alias expansion takes place; user-defined
4107 # headers and signatures are not added to the message.

4133 # This variable controls whether or not Mutt will display the “personal” name
4134 # from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that matches the
4135 # message's sender. For example, if you have the following alias:
4137 # alias juser abd30425@somewhere.net (Joe User)
4139 # and then you receive mail which contains the following header:
4141 # From: abd30425@somewhere.net

4154 # It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine, move the
4155 # messages to another machine, and reply to some the messages from there. If this
4156 # variable is set, the default From: line of the reply messages is built using
4157 # the address where you received the messages you are replying to if that address
4158 # matches your “alternates”. If the variable is unset, or the address that would
4159 # be used doesn't match your “alternates”, the From: line will use your address
4160 # on the current machine.

4174 # When it is unset, Mutt will remove the real name part of a matching address.
4175 # This allows the use of the email address without having to also use what the
4176 # sender put in the real name field.
4178 # When it is set, Mutt will use the matching address as-is.

4215 # for saving a mail. If $save_name or $force_name is set too, the selection of
4216 # the Fcc folder will be changed as well.
4225 # When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed when
4226 # closed (the exception is $spoolfile which is never removed). If set, mailboxes

5152 # machine, because the superuser can read your muttrc even if you are the only
5153 # one who can read the file.
5162 # Defines the SMTP smarthost where sent messages should relayed for delivery.
5163 # This should take the form of an SMTP URL, e.g.:
5165 # smtp[s]://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]
5167 # where “[...]” denotes an optional part. Setting this variable overrides the
5168 # value of the $sendmail variable.
5170 # Also see $write_bcc.
5179 # Specifies how to sort messages in the “index” menu. Valid values are:
5181 # • date or date-sent
5187 # • mailbox-order (unsorted)
5201 # You may optionally use the “reverse-” prefix to specify reverse sorting order
5202 # (example: “set sort=reverse-date-sent”).
5212 # Specifies how the entries in the “alias” menu are sorted. The following are
5215 # • address (sort alphabetically by email address)
5217 # • alias (sort alphabetically by alias name)
5219 # • unsorted (leave in order specified in .muttrc)
5228 # This provides a secondary sort for messages in the “index” menu, used when the
5229 # $sort value is equal for two messages.
5231 # When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted in
5232 # relation to other threads, and how the branches of the thread trees are sorted.
5233 # This can be set to any value that $sort can, except “threads” (in that case,
5234 # mutt will just use “date-sent”). You can also specify the “last-” prefix in
5235 # addition to the “reverse-” prefix, but “last-” must come after “reverse-”. The
5236 # “last-” prefix causes messages to be sorted against its siblings by which has
5237 # the last descendant, using the rest of $sort_aux as an ordering. For instance,
5239 # set sort_aux=last-date-received
5241 # would mean that if a new message is received in a thread, that thread becomes
5242 # the last one displayed (or the first, if you have “set sort=reverse-threads”.)
5244 # Note: For reversed-threads $sort order, $sort_aux is reversed again (which is
5245 # not the right thing to do, but kept to not break any existing configuration

5251 # 3.357. sort_browser
5256 # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the entries are
5257 # sorted alphabetically. Valid values:
5259 # • alpha (alphabetically)

5272 # (example: “set sort_browser=reverse-date”).
5276 # 3.358. sort_browser_mailboxes
5281 # Specifies how to sort entries in the mailbox browser. By default, the entries
5282 # are unsorted, displayed in the same order as listed in the “mailboxes” command.
5285 # • alpha (alphabetically)
5297 # You may optionally use the “reverse-” prefix to specify reverse sorting order
5298 # (example: “set sort_browser_mailboxes=reverse-alpha”).
5307 # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with $strict_threads unset
5308 # . In that case, it changes the heuristic mutt uses to thread messages by
5309 # subject. With $sort_re set, mutt will only attach a message as the child of
5310 # another message by subject if the subject of the child message starts with a
5311 # substring matching the setting of $reply_regexp. With $sort_re unset, mutt will
5312 # attach the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the non-
5313 # $reply_regexp parts of both messages are identical.
5317 # 3.360. spam_separator
5322 # This variable controls what happens when multiple spam headers are matched: if
5323 # unset, each successive header will overwrite any previous matches value for the
5324 # spam label. If set, each successive match will append to the previous, using
5325 # this variable's value as a separator.
5334 # If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt cannot find it, you
5335 # can specify its location with this variable. Mutt will initially set this
5336 # variable to the value of the environment variable $MAIL or $MAILDIR if either

5372 # If this variable is set, Mutt will require that all connections to remote
5373 # servers be encrypted. Furthermore it will attempt to negotiate TLS even if the
5374 # server does not advertise the capability, since it would otherwise have to
5375 # abort the connection anyway. This option supersedes $ssl_starttls.

5384 # This variable specifies the minimum acceptable prime size (in bits) for use in
5385 # any Diffie-Hellman key exchange. A value of 0 will use the default from the
5386 # GNUTLS library. (GnuTLS only)
5390 # 3.366. ssl_starttls
5395 # If set (the default), mutt will attempt to use STARTTLS on servers advertising
5396 # the capability. When unset, mutt will not attempt to use STARTTLS regardless of
5397 # the server's capabilities.
5399 # Note that STARTTLS is subject to many kinds of attacks, including the ability
5400 # of a machine-in-the-middle to suppress the advertising of support. Setting

5543 # 3.379. status_chars
5548 # Controls the characters used by the “%r” indicator in $status_format. The first
5549 # character is used when the mailbox is unchanged. The second is used when the
5550 # mailbox has been changed, and it needs to be resynchronized. The third is used
5551 # if the mailbox is in read-only mode, or if the mailbox will not be written when
5552 # exiting that mailbox (You can toggle whether to write changes to a mailbox with
5553 # the <toggle-write> operation, bound by default to “%”). The fourth is used to

5627 # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
5629 # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string if their
5630 # value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the number of flagged
5631 # messages if such messages exist, since zero is not particularly meaningful. To
5632 # optionally print a string based upon one of the above sequences, the following
5633 # construct is used:
5635 # %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
5637 # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and optional_string is
5638 # the string you would like printed if sequence_char is nonzero. optional_string
5639 # may contain other sequences as well as normal text, but you may not nest
5642 # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of new
5643 # messages in a mailbox:
5645 # %?n?%n new messages.?
5647 # You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
5649 # %?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
5651 # If the value of sequence_char is non-zero, if_string will be expanded,
5652 # otherwise else_string will be expanded.

5655 # prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (“_”) sign. For example, if
5656 # you want to display the local hostname in lowercase, you would use: “%_h”.
5658 # If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (“:”) character, mutt will

5984 # this option is unset, Mutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses. Normally,
5985 # the default should work.
5994 # When set, mutt will add a “User-Agent:” header to outgoing messages, indicating
5995 # which version of mutt was used for composing them.

6014 # Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after an external command has
6015 # been invoked by these functions: <shell-escape>, <pipe-message>, <pipe-entry>,
6016 # <print-message>, and <print-entry> commands.
6018 # It is also used when viewing attachments with “auto_view”, provided that the
6019 # corresponding mailcap entry has a needsterminal flag, and the external program
6022 # When set, Mutt will always ask for a key. When unset, Mutt will wait for a key
6023 # only if the external command returned a non-zero status.
6033 # When set, mutt will weed headers when displaying, forwarding, or replying to
6036 # Also see $copy_decode_weed, $pipe_decode_weed, $print_decode_weed.
6045 # When set to a positive value, mutt will wrap text at $wrap characters. When set
6046 # to a negative value, mutt will wrap text so that there are $wrap characters of
6047 # empty space on the right side of the terminal. Setting it to zero makes mutt
6048 # wrap at the terminal width.

6055 # 3.410. wrap_headers
6060 # This option specifies the number of characters to use for wrapping an outgoing
6061 # message's headers. Allowed values are between 78 and 998 inclusive.
6063 # Note: This option usually shouldn't be changed. RFC5233 recommends a line
6064 # length of 78 (the default), so please only change this setting when you know
6065 # what you're doing.
6069 # 3.411. wrap_search
6074 # Controls whether searches wrap around the end.
6076 # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When unset,
6077 # incremental searches will not wrap.
6086 # (DEPRECATED) Equivalent to setting $wrap with a negative value.
6095 # Controls whether mutt writes out the “Bcc:” header when preparing messages to
6096 # be sent. Some MTAs, such as Exim and Courier, do not strip the “Bcc:” header;
6097 # so it is advisable to leave this unset unless you have a particular need for
6098 # the header to be in the sent message.
6100 # If mutt is set to deliver directly via SMTP (see $smtp_url), this option does
6101 # nothing: mutt will never write out the “Bcc:” header in this case.
6103 # Note this option only affects the sending of messages. Fcc'ed copies of a
6104 # message will always contain the “Bcc:” header if one exists.
6106 # On Debian systems, exim4 and postfix strip BCC headers by default. The above
6107 # warning applies to exim3 users, see /etc/Muttrc.
