958 # web-of-trust algorithm. A key with marginal or no validity will not enable

961 # For S/MIME, the behavior depends on the backend. Classic S/MIME will filter for
962 # certificates with the 't'(trusted) flag in the .index file. The GPGME backend
963 # will use the same filters as with OpenPGP, and depends on GPGME's logic for
964 # assigning the GPGME_VALIDITY_FULL and GPGME_VALIDITY_ULTIMATE validity flag.

991 # 3.68. crypt_protected_headers_save
996 # When $crypt_protected_headers_read is set, and a message with a protected
997 # Subject is opened, NeoMutt will save the updated Subject into the header cache
998 # by default. This allows searching/limiting based on the protected Subject
999 # header if the mailbox is re-opened, without having to re-open the message each
1000 # time. However, for mbox/mh mailbox types, or if header caching is not set up,
1001 # you would need to re-open the message each time the mailbox was reopened before
1002 # you could see or search/limit on the protected subject again.
1004 # When this variable is set, NeoMutt additionally saves the protected Subject
1005 # back in the clear-text message headers. This provides better usability, but
1006 # with the tradeoff of reduced security. The protected Subject header, which may
1007 # have previously been encrypted, is now stored in clear-text in the message
1008 # headers. Copying the message elsewhere, via NeoMutt or external tools, could
1009 # expose this previously encrypted data. Please make sure you understand the
1010 # consequences of this before you enable this variable. (Crypto only)

1370 # When set, NeoMutt will quoted-printable encode messages when they contain the
1371 # string "From " (note the trailing space) in the beginning of a line. This is
1372 # useful to avoid the tampering certain mail delivery and transport agents tend
1373 # to do with messages (in order to prevent tools from misinterpreting the line as
1374 # a mbox message separator).

1384 # if $use_envelope_from is unset.
1388 # 3.94. external_search_command
1393 # If set, contains the name of the external program used by "~I" patterns. This
1394 # will usually be a wrapper script around mairix, mu, or similar indexers other
1395 # than notmuch (for which there is optional special support).
1397 # Here is an example how it works. Let's assume $external_search_command is set
1398 # to "mairix_filter", and mairix_filter is a script which runs the old but well
1399 # loved mairix indexer with the arguments given to mairix_filter, in the "raw"
1400 # mode of mairix, producing on the standard output a list of Message-IDs, one per
1403 # If possible, it also filters down the results coming from mairix such that only
1404 # messages in the current folder remain. It can do this because it gets a hidden
1405 # first argument which is the path to the folder. (This can be the type of clean
1406 # and simple script called a one-liner.)
1408 # Now if NeoMutt gets a limit or tag command followed by the pattern "~I '-t
1409 # s:bleeping='", mairix_filter runs mairix with the arguments from inside the
1410 # quotes (the quotes are needed because of the space after "-t"), mairix finds
1411 # all messages with "bleeping" in the Subject plus all messages sharing threads
1412 # with these and outputs their file names, and mairix_filter translates the file
1413 # names into Message-IDs. Finally, NeoMutt reads the Message-IDs and targets the
1414 # matching messages with the command given to it.
1416 # You, the user, still have to rewrite the mairix_filter script to match the
1417 # behavior of your indexer, but this should help users of indexers other than
1418 # notmuch to integrate them cleanly with NeoMutt.
1427 # When set, the initial prompt for recipients (to, cc, bcc) and subject are
1428 # skipped when the relevant information is already provided. These cases include
1429 # replying to messages and passing the relevant command line arguments. The
1430 # initial prompt for recipients is also skipped when composing a new message to
1431 # the current message sender, while the initial prompt for subject is also
1432 # skipped when forwarding messages.

2241 # them before NeoMutt has finished with them. The default is well within the
2242 # RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before a server is allowed to

2317 # closing an IMAP folder somewhat slower. This option exists to appease speed
2322 # 3.156. imap_pipeline_depth
2327 # Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they are sent
2328 # to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time NeoMutt must wait
2329 # for the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much more responsive. But not

4559 # 3.309. quote_regex
4561 # Type: regular expression
4562 # Default: “^([ t]*[|>:}#])+”
4564 # A regular expression used in the internal pager to determine quoted sections of
4565 # text in the body of a message. Quoted text may be filtered out using the
4566 # <toggle-quoted> command, or colored according to the "color quoted" family of
4569 # Higher levels of quoting may be colored differently ("color quoted1", "color
4570 # quoted2", etc.). The quoting level is determined by removing the last character
4571 # from the matched text and recursively reapplying the regular expression until
4572 # it fails to produce a match.
4574 # Match detection may be overridden by the $smileys regular expression.
4583 # If set to a value greater than 0, NeoMutt will display which message it is
4584 # currently on when reading a mailbox or when performing search actions such as
4585 # search and limit. The message is printed after this many messages have been
4586 # read or searched (e.g., if set to 25, NeoMutt will print a message when it is
4587 # at message 25, and then again when it gets to message 50). This variable is
4588 # meant to indicate progress when reading or searching large mailboxes which may
4589 # take some time. When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the
4590 # reading the mailbox.
4592 # Also see the $write_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the "tuning"
4593 # section of the manual for performance considerations.
4602 # If set, all folders are opened in read-only mode.
4611 # This variable specifies what "real" or "personal" name should be used when
4614 # If not specified, then the user's "real name" will be read from /etc/passwd.
4615 # This option will not be used, if "$from" is set.
4624 # Controls whether or not NeoMutt recalls postponed messages when composing a new
4627 # Setting this variable to yes is not generally useful, and thus not recommended.
4628 # Note that the <recall-message> function can be used to manually recall
4629 # postponed messages.

4641 # This specifies the file into which your outgoing messages should be appended.
4642 # (This is meant as the primary method for saving a copy of your messages, but
4643 # another way to do this is using the "my_hdr" command to create a "Bcc:" field
4644 # with your email address in it.)

4652 # 3.315. reflow_space_quotes
4657 # This option controls how quotes from format=flowed messages are displayed in
4658 # the pager and when replying (with $text_flowed unset). When set, this option
4659 # adds spaces after each level of quote marks, turning ">>>foo" into "> > > foo".
4661 # Note: If $reflow_text is unset, this option has no effect. Also, this option
4662 # does not affect replies when $text_flowed is set.
4666 # 3.316. reflow_text
4671 # When set, NeoMutt will reformat paragraphs in text/plain parts marked format=
4672 # flowed. If unset, NeoMutt will display paragraphs unaltered from how they
4673 # appear in the message body. See RFC3676 for details on the format=flowed
4676 # Also see $reflow_wrap, and $wrap.
4680 # 3.317. reflow_wrap
4685 # This variable controls the maximum paragraph width when reformatting text/plain
4686 # parts when $reflow_text is set. When the value is 0, paragraphs will be wrapped
4687 # at the terminal's right margin. A positive value sets the paragraph width
4688 # relative to the left margin. A negative value set the paragraph width relative
4689 # to the right margin.
4696 # 3.318. reply_regex
4698 # Type: regular expression
4699 # Default: “^((re|aw|sv)([[0-9]+])*:[ t]*)*”
4701 # A regular expression used to recognize reply messages when threading and
4702 # replying. The default value corresponds to the English "Re:", the German "Aw:"
4703 # and the Swedish "Sv:".
4712 # If unset and you are replying to a message sent by you, NeoMutt will assume
4713 # that you want to reply to the recipients of that message rather than to
4716 # Also see the "alternates" command.
4725 # If set, when replying to a message, NeoMutt will use the address listed in the
4726 # Reply-to: header as the recipient of the reply. If unset, it will use the
4727 # address in the From: header field instead. This option is useful for reading a
4728 # mailing list that sets the Reply-To: header field to the list address and you
4729 # want to send a private message to the author of a message.
4733 # 3.321. reply_with_xorig
4738 # This variable provides a toggle. When active, the From: header will be
4739 # extracted from the current mail's 'X-Original-To:' header. This setting does
4740 # not have precedence over "reverse_real_name".
4742 # Assuming 'fast_reply' is disabled, this option will prompt the user with a
4743 # prefilled From: header.
4752 # When set, the cursor will be automatically advanced to the next (possibly
4753 # undeleted) message whenever a command that modifies the current message is
4758 # 3.323. resume_draft_files
4763 # If set, draft files (specified by -H on the command line) are processed
4764 # similarly to when resuming a postponed message. Recipients are not prompted
4765 # for; send-hooks are not evaluated; no alias expansion takes place; user-defined
4766 # headers and signatures are not added to the message.
4770 # 3.324. resume_edited_draft_files
4775 # If set, draft files previously edited (via -E -H on the command line) will have
4776 # $resume_draft_files automatically set when they are used as a draft file again.
4778 # The first time a draft file is saved, NeoMutt will add a header,
4779 # X-Mutt-Resume-Draft to the saved file. The next time the draft file is read in,
4780 # if NeoMutt sees the header, it will set $resume_draft_files.
4782 # This option is designed to prevent multiple signatures, user-defined headers,
4783 # and other processing effects from being made multiple times to the draft file.
4787 # 3.325. reverse_alias
4792 # This variable controls whether or not NeoMutt will display the "personal" name
4793 # from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that matches the
4794 # message's sender. For example, if you have the following alias:
4796 # alias juser abd30425@somewhere.net (Joe User)
4798 # and then you receive mail which contains the following header:
4800 # From: abd30425@somewhere.net
4802 # It would be displayed in the index menu as "Joe User" instead of
4803 # "abd30425@somewhere.net." This is useful when the person's e-mail address is
4804 # not human friendly.
4808 # 3.326. reverse_name
4813 # It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine, move the
4814 # messages to another machine, and reply to some the messages from there. If this
4815 # variable is set, the default From: line of the reply messages is built using
4816 # the address where you received the messages you are replying to if that address
4817 # matches your "alternates". If the variable is unset, or the address that would
4818 # be used doesn't match your "alternates", the From: line will use your address
4819 # on the current machine.
4821 # Also see the "alternates" command and $reverse_real_name.
4823 set reverse_name=yes
4826 # 3.327. reverse_real_name
4831 # This variable fine-tunes the behavior of the $reverse_name feature.
4833 # When it is unset, NeoMutt will remove the real name part of a matching address.
4834 # This allows the use of the email address without having to also use what the
4835 # sender put in the real name field.
4837 # When it is set, NeoMutt will use the matching address as-is.
4839 # In either case, a missing real name will be filled in afterwards using the
4840 # value of $real_name.
4844 # 3.328. rfc2047_parameters
4849 # When this variable is set, NeoMutt will decode RFC2047-encoded MIME parameters.

4876 # folder for saving a mail. If $save_name or $force_name is set too, the
4877 # selection of the Fcc folder will be changed as well.
4886 # When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed when
4887 # closed (the exception is $spool_file which is never removed). If set, mailboxes

5955 # 3.401. sort_browser
5960 # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the entries are
5961 # sorted alphabetically. Valid values:
5963 # • alpha (alphabetically)
5965 # • count (all message count)
5969 # • desc (description)
5971 # • new (new message count)
5977 # You may optionally use the "reverse-" prefix to specify reverse sorting order
5978 # (example: "set sort_browser=reverse-date").
5980 # The "unread" value is a synonym for "new".
5989 # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with $strict_threads unset
5990 # . In that case, it changes the heuristic mutt uses to thread messages by
5991 # subject. With $sort_re set, mutt will only attach a message as the child of
5992 # another message by subject if the subject of the child message starts with a
5993 # substring matching the setting of $reply_regex. With $sort_re unset, mutt will
5994 # attach the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the non-
5995 # $reply_regex parts of both messages are identical.

6276 # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero
6278 # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string if their
6279 # value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the number of flagged
6280 # messages if such messages exist, since zero is not particularly meaningful. To
6281 # optionally print a string based upon one of the above sequences, the following
6282 # construct is used:
6284 # %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?
6286 # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and optional_string is
6287 # the string you would like printed if sequence_char is nonzero. optional_string
6288 # may contain other sequences as well as normal text, but you may not nest
6291 # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of new
6292 # messages in a mailbox:
6294 # %?n?%n new messages.?
6296 # You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:
6298 # %?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?
6300 # If the value of sequence_char is non-zero, if_string will be expanded,
6301 # otherwise else_string will be expanded.
6303 # As another example, here is how to show either $sort and $sort_aux or
6304 # $use_threads and $sort, based on whether threads are enabled with $use_threads:
6308 # You can force the result of any printf(3)-like sequence to be lowercase by
6309 # prefixing the sequence character with an underscore ("_") sign. For example, if
6310 # you want to display the local hostname in lowercase, you would use: "%_h".
6312 # If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (":") character, NeoMutt will
6313 # replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful with
6314 # IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.

6337 # subject are grouped together in "pseudo threads.". This may not always be
6338 # desirable, such as in a personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated

6385 # because decoding also includes MIME parsing/decoding and possible character set
6386 # conversions. Otherwise NeoMutt will attempt to match against the raw message

6388 # may lead to incorrect search results.

6701 # When set, NeoMutt will add a "User-Agent:" header to outgoing messages,
6702 # indicating which version of NeoMutt was used for composing them.

6712 # folders to your personal taste. This string uses many of the same expandos as
6717 # 3.448. virtual_spool_file
6722 # When set, NeoMutt will use the first defined virtual mailbox (see
6723 # virtual-mailboxes) as a spool file.
6725 # This command is now unnecessary. $spool_file has been extended to support
6726 # mailbox descriptions as a value.
6735 # Controls whether NeoMutt will ask you to press a key after an external command
6736 # has been invoked by these functions: <shell-escape>, <pipe-message>,
6737 # <pipe-entry>, <print-message>, and <print-entry> commands.
6739 # It is also used when viewing attachments with "auto_view", provided that the
6740 # corresponding mailcap entry has a needsterminal flag, and the external program
6743 # When set, NeoMutt will always ask for a key. When unset, NeoMutt will wait for
6744 # a key only if the external command returned a non-zero status.
6754 # When set, NeoMutt will weed headers when displaying, forwarding, or replying to
6757 # Also see $copy_decode_weed, $pipe_decode_weed, $print_decode_weed.
6766 # When set to a positive value, NeoMutt will wrap text at $wrap characters. When
6767 # set to a negative value, NeoMutt will wrap text so that there are $wrap
6768 # characters of empty space on the right side of the terminal. Setting it to zero
6769 # makes NeoMutt wrap at the terminal width.
6771 # Also see $reflow_wrap.

6776 # 3.452. wrap_headers
6781 # This option specifies the number of characters to use for wrapping an outgoing
6782 # message's headers. Allowed values are between 78 and 998 inclusive.
6784 # Note: This option usually shouldn't be changed. RFC5233 recommends a line
6785 # length of 78 (the default), so please only change this setting when you know
6786 # what you're doing.
6790 # 3.453. wrap_search
6795 # Controls whether searches wrap around the end.
6797 # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When unset,
6798 # incremental searches will not wrap.
6807 # Controls whether NeoMutt writes out the "Bcc:" header when preparing messages
6808 # to be sent. Some MTAs, such as Exim and Courier, do not strip the "Bcc:"
6809 # header; so it is advisable to leave this unset unless you have a particular
6810 # need for the header to be in the sent message.
6812 # If NeoMutt is set to deliver directly via SMTP(see $smtp_url), this option does
6813 # nothing: NeoMutt will never write out the "Bcc:" header in this case.
6815 # Note this option only affects the sending of messages. Fcc'ed copies of a
6816 # message will always contain the "Bcc:" header if one exists.
6818 # Note: On Debian systems, exim4 and postfix strip BCC headers by default. The
6819 # above warning applies to exim3 users, see /etc/Muttrc.
6828 # When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every $write_inc messages to
6829 # indicate progress. If set to 0, only a single message will be displayed before
6830 # writing a mailbox.
6832 # Also see the $read_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the "tuning"
6833 # section of the manual for performance considerations.
6837 # 3.456. x_comment_to
