298 # 3.19. attribution_locale
303 # The locale used by strftime(3) to format dates in the attribution string. Legal
304 # values are the strings your system accepts for the locale environment variable
307 # This variable is to allow the attribution date format to be customized by
308 # recipient or folder using hooks. By default, Mutt will use your locale
309 # environment, so there is no need to set this except to override that default.
318 # When set, functions in the index menu which affect a message will be applied to
319 # all tagged messages (if there are any). When unset, you must first use the
320 # <tag-prefix> function (bound to “;” by default) to make the next function apply
321 # to all tagged messages.
330 # When set along with $edit_headers, Mutt will skip the initial send-menu
331 # (prompting for subject and recipients) and allow you to immediately begin
332 # editing the body of your message. The send-menu may still be accessed once you
333 # have finished editing the body of your message.

336 # recipients when composing a new (non-reply) message, as the initial list of
337 # recipients is empty.

388 # 3.26. braille_friendly
393 # When this variable is set, mutt will place the cursor at the beginning of the
394 # current line in menus, even when the $arrow_cursor variable is unset, making it
395 # easier for blind persons using Braille displays to follow these menus. The
396 # option is unset by default because many visual terminals don't permit making
397 # the cursor invisible.
401 # 3.27. browser_abbreviate_mailboxes
406 # When this variable is set, mutt will abbreviate mailbox names in the browser
407 # mailbox list, using '~' and '=' shortcuts.
409 # The default "alpha" setting of $sort_browser uses locale-based sorting (using
410 # strcoll(3)), which ignores some punctuation. This can lead to some situations
411 # where the order doesn't make intuitive sense. In those cases, it may be
412 # desirable to unset this variable.

422 # When an unknown certificate is encountered, you are asked if you accept it or
423 # not. If you accept it, the certificate can also be saved in this file and
424 # further connections are automatically accepted.

443 # first folder in the list.
452 # Character set your terminal uses to display and enter textual data. It is also

459 # set used correctly.
463 # 3.31. check_mbox_size
468 # When this variable is set, mutt will use file size attribute instead of access
469 # time when checking for new mail in mbox and mmdf folders.
471 # This variable is unset by default and should only be enabled when new mail
472 # detection for these folder types is unreliable or doesn't work.
474 # Note that enabling this variable should happen before any “mailboxes”
475 # directives occur in configuration files regarding mbox or mmdf folders because
476 # mutt needs to determine the initial new mail status of such a mailbox by
477 # performing a fast mailbox scan when it is defined. Afterwards the new mail
478 # status is tracked by file size changes.
487 # Note: this option only affects maildir and MH style mailboxes.
489 # When set, Mutt will check for new mail delivered while the mailbox is open.
490 # Especially with MH mailboxes, this operation can take quite some time since it
491 # involves scanning the directory and checking each file to see if it has already
492 # been looked at. If this variable is unset, no check for new mail is performed
493 # while the mailbox is open.

502 # When unset, Mutt will not collapse a thread if it contains any unread messages.

1208 # This quadoption controls whether or not the user is automatically placed in the
1209 # editor when forwarding messages. For those who always want to forward with no
1210 # modification, use a setting of “no”.
1214 # 3.84. forward_format

1254 # A regular expression used by mutt to parse the GECOS field of a password entry
1255 # when expanding the alias. The default value will return the string up to the
1256 # first “,” encountered. If the GECOS field contains a string like “lastname,
1257 # firstname” then you should set it to “.*”.
1259 # This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address an e-mail to
1260 # user ID “stevef” whose full name is “Steve Franklin”. If mutt expands “stevef”
1261 # to “"Franklin" stevef@foo.bar” then you should set the $gecos_mask to a regular
1262 # expression that will match the whole name so mutt will expand “Franklin” to “
1272 # When unset, the header fields normally added by the “my_hdr” command are not
1273 # created. This variable must be unset before composing a new message or replying

1310 # When mutt is compiled with qdbm, tokyocabinet, or kyotocabinet as header cache
1311 # backend, this option determines whether the database will be compressed.
1312 # Compression results in database files roughly being one fifth of the usual

1320 # 3.92. header_cache_pagesize
1325 # When mutt is compiled with either gdbm or bdb4 as the header cache backend,
1326 # this option changes the database page size. Too large or too small values can
1327 # waste space, memory, or CPU time. The default should be more or less optimal
1328 # for most use cases.
1332 # 3.93. header_color_partial
1337 # When set, color header regexps behave like color body regexps: color is applied
1338 # to the exact text matched by the regexp. When unset, color is applied to the
1341 # One use of this option might be to apply color to just the header labels.

1353 # by each menu are displayed on the first line of the screen.
1355 # Note: The binding will not be displayed correctly if the function is bound to a
1356 # sequence rather than a single keystroke. Also, the help line may not be updated
1357 # if a binding is changed while Mutt is running. Since this variable is primarily
1358 # aimed at new users, neither of these should present a major problem.
1367 # When set, mutt will skip the host name part of $hostname variable when adding
1368 # the domain part to addresses. This variable does not affect the generation of

1479 # group-replying to a message.
1488 # Specifies the fully-qualified hostname of the system mutt is running on
1489 # containing the host's name and the DNS domain it belongs to. It is used as the
1490 # domain part (after “@”) for local email addresses as well as Message-Id
1493 # Its value is determined at startup as follows: the node's hostname is first
1494 # determined by the uname(3) function. The domain is then looked up using the
1495 # gethostname(2) and getaddrinfo(3) functions. If those calls are unable to
1496 # determine the domain, the full value returned by uname is used. Optionally,

1542 # mailing lists (as defined by the “subscribe” or “lists” commands). When set, if
1543 # the “Reply-To:” field is set to the same value as the “To:” field, Mutt assumes
1544 # that the “Reply-To:” field was set by the mailing list to automate responses to
1545 # the list, and will ignore this field. To direct a response to the mailing list
1546 # when this option is set, use the <list-reply> function; <group-reply> will
1547 # reply to both the sender and the list.

1558 # use to log in to an IMAP server, in the order mutt should try them.
1559 # Authentication methods are either “login” or the right side of an IMAP “AUTH=
1560 # xxx” capability string, e.g. “digest-md5”, “gssapi” or “cram-md5”. This option

1562 # methods, in order from most-secure to least-secure.
1566 # set imap_authenticators="gssapi:cram-md5:login"
1568 # Note: Mutt will only fall back to other authentication methods if the previous
1569 # methods are unavailable. If a method is available but authentication fails,
1570 # mutt will not connect to the IMAP server.
1574 # 3.112. imap_check_subscribed
1579 # When set, mutt will fetch the set of subscribed folders from your server on
1580 # connection, and add them to the set of mailboxes it polls for new mail just as
1581 # if you had issued individual “mailboxes” commands.
1585 # 3.113. imap_delim_chars
1590 # This contains the list of characters which you would like to treat as folder
1591 # separators for displaying IMAP paths. In particular it helps in using the “=”
1592 # shortcut for your folder variable.
1596 # 3.114. imap_headers
1601 # Mutt requests these header fields in addition to the default headers (“Date:”,
1602 # “From:”, “Subject:”, “To:”, “Cc:”, “Message-Id:”, “References:”, “Content-Type:
1603 # ”, “Content-Description:”, “In-Reply-To:”, “Reply-To:”, “Lines:”, “List-Post:”,
1604 # “X-Label:”) from IMAP servers before displaying the index menu. You may want to
1605 # add more headers for spam detection.
1607 # Note: This is a space separated list, items should be uppercase and not contain
1608 # the colon, e.g. “X-BOGOSITY X-SPAM-STATUS” for the “X-Bogosity:” and “
1609 # X-Spam-Status:” header fields.
1618 # When set, mutt will attempt to use the IMAP IDLE extension to check for new
1619 # mail in the current mailbox. Some servers (dovecot was the inspiration for this
1620 # option) react badly to mutt's implementation. If your connection seems to
1621 # freeze up periodically, try unsetting this.
1625 # 3.116. imap_keepalive
1630 # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt will
1631 # wait before polling open IMAP connections, to prevent the server from closing
1632 # them before mutt has finished with them. The default is well within the
1633 # RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before a server is allowed to
1634 # do this, but in practice the RFC does get violated every now and then. Reduce
1635 # this number if you find yourself getting disconnected from your IMAP server due
1640 # 3.117. imap_list_subscribed
1645 # This variable configures whether IMAP folder browsing will look for only
1646 # subscribed folders or all folders. This can be toggled in the IMAP browser with
1647 # the <toggle-subscribed> function.
1656 # Your login name on the IMAP server.
1658 # This variable defaults to the value of $imap_user.
1662 # 3.119. imap_oauth_refresh_command
1667 # The command to run to generate an OAUTH refresh token for authorizing your
1668 # connection to your IMAP server. This command will be run on every connection
1669 # attempt that uses the OAUTHBEARER authentication mechanism.
1678 # Specifies the password for your IMAP account. If unset, Mutt will prompt you
1679 # for your password when you invoke the <imap-fetch-mail> function or try to open
1682 # Warning: you should only use this option when you are on a fairly secure
1683 # machine, because the superuser can read your muttrc even if you are the only
1684 # one who can read the file.
1688 # 3.121. imap_passive
1693 # When set, mutt will not open new IMAP connections to check for new mail. Mutt
1694 # will only check for new mail over existing IMAP connections. This is useful if
1695 # you don't want to be prompted to user/password pairs on mutt invocation, or if
1696 # opening the connection is slow.
1705 # When set, mutt will avoid implicitly marking your mail as read whenever you
1706 # fetch a message from the server. This is generally a good thing, but can make
1707 # closing an IMAP folder somewhat slower. This option exists to appease speed
1712 # 3.123. imap_pipeline_depth
1717 # Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they are sent
1718 # to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time mutt must wait for
1719 # the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much more responsive. But not all
1720 # servers correctly handle pipelined commands, so if you have problems you might
1721 # want to try setting this variable to 0.
1723 # Note: Changes to this variable have no effect on open connections.
1727 # 3.124. imap_poll_timeout
1732 # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt will
1733 # wait for a response when polling IMAP connections for new mail, before timing
1734 # out and closing the connection. Set to 0 to disable timing out.
1738 # 3.125. imap_servernoise
1743 # When set, mutt will display warning messages from the IMAP server as error
1744 # messages. Since these messages are often harmless, or generated due to
1745 # configuration problems on the server which are out of the users' hands, you may
1746 # wish to suppress them at some point.
1755 # The name of the user whose mail you intend to access on the IMAP server.
1757 # This variable defaults to your user name on the local machine.

1766 # If set to “yes”, mutt will look for a mailcap entry with the “copiousoutput”
1767 # flag set for every MIME attachment it doesn't have an internal viewer defined

1801 # which you are replying. You are strongly encouraged not to change this value,
1802 # as it tends to agitate the more fanatical netizens.
1804 # The value of this option is ignored if $text_flowed is set, because the quoting

2431 # specify the pathname of the external pager you would like to use.
2433 # Using an external pager may have some disadvantages: Additional keystrokes are

2479 # thread. One of the lines is reserved for the status bar from the index, so a
2480 # setting of 6 will only show 5 lines of the actual index. A value of 0 results

2521 # overridden by use of the pgp menu, when inline is not required. The GPGME
2522 # backend does not support this option.

2550 # If set, mutt will check the status file descriptor output of
2551 # $pgp_decrypt_command and $pgp_decode_command for GnuPG status codes indicating
2552 # successful decryption. This will check for the presence of DECRYPTION_OKAY,
2553 # absence of DECRYPTION_FAILED, and that all PLAINTEXT occurs between the

3356 # Default: “^([ t]*[|>:}#])+”
3358 # A regular expression used in the internal pager to determine quoted sections of
3359 # text in the body of a message. Quoted text may be filtered out using the
3360 # <toggle-quoted> command, or colored according to the “color quoted” family of
3363 # Higher levels of quoting may be colored differently (“color quoted1”, “color
3364 # quoted2”, etc.). The quoting level is determined by removing the last character
3365 # from the matched text and recursively reapplying the regular expression until
3366 # it fails to produce a match.
3368 # Match detection may be overridden by the $smileys regular expression.
3377 # If set to a value greater than 0, Mutt will display which message it is
3378 # currently on when reading a mailbox or when performing search actions such as
3379 # search and limit. The message is printed after this many messages have been

3381 # message 25, and then again when it gets to message 50). This variable is meant
3382 # to indicate progress when reading or searching large mailboxes which may take
3383 # some time. When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the reading
3386 # Also see the $write_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the “tuning”
3387 # section of the manual for performance considerations.

4428 # Authentication methods are any SASL mechanism, e.g. “digest-md5”, “gssapi” or “
4429 # cram-md5”. This option is case-insensitive. If it is “unset” (the default) mutt
4430 # will try all available methods, in order from most-secure to least-secure.
4434 # set smtp_authenticators="digest-md5:cram-md5"
4438 # 3.311. smtp_oauth_refresh_command
4443 # The command to run to generate an OAUTH refresh token for authorizing your
4444 # connection to your SMTP server. This command will be run on every connection
4445 # attempt that uses the OAUTHBEARER authentication mechanism.
4454 # Specifies the password for your SMTP account. If unset, Mutt will prompt you
4455 # for your password when you first send mail via SMTP. See $smtp_url to configure
4456 # mutt to send mail via SMTP.
4458 # Warning: you should only use this option when you are on a fairly secure
4459 # machine, because the superuser can read your muttrc even if you are the only
4460 # one who can read the file.
4469 # Defines the SMTP smarthost where sent messages should relayed for delivery.
4470 # This should take the form of an SMTP URL, e.g.:
4472 # smtp[s]://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]
4474 # where “[...]” denotes an optional part. Setting this variable overrides the
4475 # value of the $sendmail variable.
4484 # Specifies how to sort messages in the “index” menu. Valid values are:
4486 # • date or date-sent
4492 # • mailbox-order (unsorted)
4506 # You may optionally use the “reverse-” prefix to specify reverse sorting order
4507 # (example: “set sort=reverse-date-sent”).
4517 # Specifies how the entries in the “alias” menu are sorted. The following are
4520 # • address (sort alphabetically by email address)
4522 # • alias (sort alphabetically by alias name)
4524 # • unsorted (leave in order specified in .muttrc)
4533 # When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted in
4534 # relation to other threads, and how the branches of the thread trees are sorted.
4535 # This can be set to any value that $sort can, except “threads” (in that case,
4536 # mutt will just use “date-sent”). You can also specify the “last-” prefix in
4537 # addition to the “reverse-” prefix, but “last-” must come after “reverse-”. The
4538 # “last-” prefix causes messages to be sorted against its siblings by which has
4539 # the last descendant, using the rest of $sort_aux as an ordering. For instance,
4541 # set sort_aux=last-date-received
4543 # would mean that if a new message is received in a thread, that thread becomes
4544 # the last one displayed (or the first, if you have “set sort=reverse-threads”.)
4546 # Note: For reversed $sort order $sort_aux is reversed again (which is not the
4547 # right thing to do, but kept to not break any existing configuration setting).
4549 set sort_aux=last-date-received
4552 # 3.317. sort_browser
4557 # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the entries are
4558 # sorted alphabetically. Valid values:
4560 # • alpha (alphabetically)
4572 # You may optionally use the “reverse-” prefix to specify reverse sorting order
4573 # (example: “set sort_browser=reverse-date”).
4582 # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with $strict_threads unset
4583 # . In that case, it changes the heuristic mutt uses to thread messages by
4584 # subject. With $sort_re set, mutt will only attach a message as the child of
4585 # another message by subject if the subject of the child message starts with a
4586 # substring matching the setting of $reply_regexp. With $sort_re unset, mutt will
4587 # attach the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the non-
4588 # $reply_regexp parts of both messages are identical.
4592 # 3.319. spam_separator
4597 # This variable controls what happens when multiple spam headers are matched: if
4598 # unset, each successive header will overwrite any previous matches value for the
4599 # spam label. If set, each successive match will append to the previous, using
4600 # this variable's value as a separator.
4609 # If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt cannot find it, you
4610 # can specify its location with this variable. Mutt will initially set this
4611 # variable to the value of the environment variable $MAIL or $MAILDIR if either
4614 set spoolfile="=inbox"
4617 # 3.321. ssl_ca_certificates_file
4622 # This variable specifies a file containing trusted CA certificates. Any server
4623 # certificate that is signed with one of these CA certificates is also
4624 # automatically accepted. (GnuTLS only)

4638 # The file containing a client certificate and its associated private key.
4642 # 3.323. ssl_force_tls
4647 # If this variable is set, Mutt will require that all connections to remote
4648 # servers be encrypted. Furthermore it will attempt to negotiate TLS even if the
4649 # server does not advertise the capability, since it would otherwise have to
4650 # abort the connection anyway. This option supersedes $ssl_starttls.
4654 # 3.324. ssl_min_dh_prime_bits
4659 # This variable specifies the minimum acceptable prime size (in bits) for use in
4660 # any Diffie-Hellman key exchange. A value of 0 will use the default from the
4661 # GNUTLS library. (GnuTLS only)
4665 # 3.325. ssl_starttls
4670 # If set (the default), mutt will attempt to use STARTTLS on servers advertising
4671 # the capability. When unset, mutt will not attempt to use STARTTLS regardless of
4672 # the server's capabilities.
4676 # 3.326. ssl_use_sslv2
4681 # This variable specifies whether to attempt to use SSLv2 in the SSL

4734 # store when checking if a server certificate is signed by a trusted CA. (OpenSSL
4739 # 3.332. ssl_verify_dates
4744 # If set (the default), mutt will not automatically accept a server certificate

4757 # only unset this for particular known hosts, using the <account-hook> function.
4761 # 3.334. ssl_verify_partial_chains
4766 # This option should not be changed from the default unless you understand what
4769 # Setting this variable to yes will permit verifying partial certification
4770 # chains, i. e. a certificate chain where not the root, but an intermediate
4771 # certificate CA, or the host certificate, are marked trusted (in
4772 # $certificate_file), without marking the root signing CA as trusted.
4774 # (OpenSSL 1.0.2b and newer only).
4778 # 3.335. ssl_ciphers
4783 # Contains a colon-seperated list of ciphers to use when using SSL. For OpenSSL,
4784 # see ciphers(1) for the syntax of the string.
4786 # For GnuTLS, this option will be used in place of "NORMAL" at the start of the
4787 # priority string. See gnutls_priority_init(3) for the syntax and more details.
4788 # (Note: GnuTLS version 2.1.7 or higher is required.)
4792 # 3.336. status_chars
4797 # Controls the characters used by the “%r” indicator in $status_format. The first
4798 # character is used when the mailbox is unchanged. The second is used when the
4799 # mailbox has been changed, and it needs to be resynchronized. The third is used
4800 # if the mailbox is in read-only mode, or if the mailbox will not be written when
4801 # exiting that mailbox (You can toggle whether to write changes to a mailbox with
4802 # the <toggle-write> operation, bound by default to “%”). The fourth is used to
4803 # indicate that the current folder has been opened in attach- message mode
4804 # (Certain operations like composing a new mail, replying, forwarding, etc. are
4805 # not permitted in this mode).
4809 # 3.337. status_format

4873 # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
4875 # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string if their
4876 # value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the number of flagged
4877 # messages if such messages exist, since zero is not particularly meaningful. To
4878 # optionally print a string based upon one of the above sequences, the following
4879 # construct is used:
4881 # %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
4883 # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and optional_string is
4884 # the string you would like printed if sequence_char is nonzero. optional_string
4885 # may contain other sequences as well as normal text, but you may not nest
4888 # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of new
4889 # messages in a mailbox:
4891 # %?n?%n new messages.?

4901 # prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (“_”) sign. For example, if
4902 # you want to display the local hostname in lowercase, you would use: “%_h”.
4904 # If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (“:”) character, mutt will

5283 # This option specifies the number of characters to use for wrapping an outgoing
5284 # message's headers. Allowed values are between 78 and 998 inclusive.
5286 # Note: This option usually shouldn't be changed. RFC5233 recommends a line
5287 # length of 78 (the default), so please only change this setting when you know
5288 # what you're doing.
5292 # 3.367. wrap_search
5297 # Controls whether searches wrap around the end.
5299 # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When unset,
5300 # incremental searches will not wrap.
5309 # (DEPRECATED) Equivalent to setting $wrap with a negative value.
5318 # Controls whether mutt writes out the “Bcc:” header when preparing messages to
5319 # be sent. Exim users may wish to unset this. If mutt is set to deliver directly
5320 # via SMTP (see $smtp_url), this option does nothing: mutt will never write out
5321 # the “Bcc:” header in this case.
5330 # When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every $write_inc messages to
5331 # indicate progress. If set to 0, only a single message will be displayed before
5332 # writing a mailbox.
5334 # Also see the $read_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the “tuning”
5335 # section of the manual for performance considerations.
