# Auto-generated using mkconf from manual.txt # on 2023-08-11 16:33:16 # # Invoked as: ./mkconf # # 3.1. abort_backspace # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If set, hitting backspace against an empty prompt aborts the prompt. # # 3.2. abort_key # # Type: string # Default: “007” # # Specifies the key that can be used to abort prompts. The format is the same as # used in "bind" commands. The default is equivalent to "Ctrl-G". Note that the # specified key should not be used in other bindings, as the abort operation has # higher precedence and the binding will not have the desired effect. # # Example: # # set abort_key = "" # # Please note that when using as the abort key, you may also want to set # the environment variable ESCDELAY to a low value or even 0 which will reduce # the time that ncurses waits to distinguish singular key presses from the # start of a terminal escape sequence. The default time is 1000 milliseconds and # thus quite noticeable. # # 3.3. abort_noattach # # Type: quadoption # Default: no # # If set to yes, when composing messages containing the regular expression # specified by $abort_noattach_regex and no attachments are given, composition # will be aborted. If set to no, composing messages as such will never be # aborted. # # Example: # # set abort_noattach_regex = "\" # set abort_noattach=ask-yes # 3.4. abort_noattach_regex # # Type: regular expression # Default: “<(attach|attached|attachments?)>” # # Specifies a regular expression to match against the body of the message, to # determine if an attachment was mentioned but mistakenly forgotten. If it # matches, $abort_noattach will be consulted to determine if message sending will # be aborted. # # Like other regular expressions in NeoMutt, the search is case sensitive if the # pattern contains at least one upper case letter, and case insensitive # otherwise. # # 3.5. abort_nosubject # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # If set to yes, when composing messages and no subject is given at the subject # prompt, composition will be aborted. If set to no, composing messages with no # subject given at the subject prompt will never be aborted. # # 3.6. abort_unmodified # # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # If set to yes, composition will automatically abort after editing the message # body if no changes are made to the file (this check only happens after the # first edit of the file). When set to no, composition will never be aborted. # # 3.7. alias_file # # Type: path # Default: “~/.neomuttrc” # # The default file in which to save aliases created by the # function. Entries added to this file are encoded in the character set specified # by $config_charset if it is set or the current character set otherwise. # # Note: NeoMutt will not automatically source this file; you must explicitly use # the "source" command for it to be executed in case this option points to a # dedicated alias file. # # The default for this option is the currently used neomuttrc file, or "~ # /.neomuttrc" if no user neomuttrc was found. # set alias_file="$my_confdir/aliases" # 3.8. alias_format # # Type: string # Default: “%3n %f%t %-15a %-56r | %c” # # Specifies the format of the data displayed for the "alias" menu.

Messages containing these codes are rare, but # if this option is set, their text will be colored accordingly. Note that this # may override your color choices, and even present a security problem, since a # message could include a line like # # [-- PGP output follows ... # # and give it the same color as your attachment color (see also $crypt_timestamp # ). # # 3.11. arrow_cursor # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, an arrow ("->") will be used to indicate the current entry in menus # instead of highlighting the whole line. On slow network or modem links this # will make response faster because there is less that has to be redrawn on the # screen when moving to the next or previous entries in the menu. # # 3.12. arrow_string # # Type: string # Default: “->” # # Specifies the string of arrow_cursor when arrow_cursor enabled. # # 3.13. ascii_chars # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, NeoMutt will use plain ASCII characters when displaying thread and # attachment trees, instead of the default ACS characters. # # 3.14. ask_bcc # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, NeoMutt will prompt you for blind-carbon-copy (Bcc) recipients before # editing an outgoing message. # # 3.15. ask_cc # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, NeoMutt will prompt you for carbon-copy (Cc) recipients before editing # the body of an outgoing message. # # 3.16. ask_follow_up # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, NeoMutt will prompt you for follow-up groups before editing the body of # an outgoing message. # # 3.17. ask_x_comment_to # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, NeoMutt will prompt you for x-comment-to field before editing the body # of an outgoing message. # # 3.18. assumed_charset # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # This variable is a colon-separated list of character encoding schemes for # messages without character encoding indication. Header field values and message # body content without character encoding indication would be assumed that they # are written in one of this list. By default, all the header fields and message # body without any charset indication are assumed to be in "us-ascii". # # For example, Japanese users might prefer this: # # set assumed_charset="iso-2022-jp:euc-jp:shift_jis:utf-8" # # However, only the first content is valid for the message body. # # 3.19. attach_charset # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # This variable is a colon-separated list of character encoding schemes for text # file attachments. NeoMutt uses this setting to guess which encoding files being # attached are encoded in to convert them to a proper character set given in # $send_charset. # # If unset, the value of $charset will be used instead. For example, the # following configuration would work for Japanese text handling: # # set attach_charset="iso-2022-jp:euc-jp:shift_jis:utf-8" # # Note: for Japanese users, "iso-2022-*" must be put at the head of the value as # shown above if included. # # 3.20. attach_format # # Type: string # Default: “%u%D%I %t%4n %T%.40d%> [%.7m/%.10M, %.6e%?C?, %C?, %s] ” # # This variable describes the format of the "attachment" menu.

For a full listing of defined printf(3)-like sequences see the section # on $index_format. # set attribution="$my_attribution_en" # 3.26. attribution_locale # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # The locale used by strftime(3) to format dates in the attribution string. Legal # values are the strings your system accepts for the locale environment variable # $LC_TIME. # # This variable is to allow the attribution date format to be customized by # recipient or folder using hooks. By default, NeoMutt will use your locale # environment, so there is no need to set this except to override that default. # # 3.27. auto_edit # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set along with $edit_headers, NeoMutt will skip the initial send-menu # (prompting for subject and recipients) and allow you to immediately begin # editing the body of your message. The send-menu may still be accessed once you # have finished editing the body of your message. # # Note: when this option is set, you can't use send-hooks that depend on the # recipients when composing a new (non-reply) message, as the initial list of # recipients is empty. # # Also see $fast_reply. # set auto_edit=yes # 3.28. auto_subscribe # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt assumes the presence of a List-Post header means the # recipient is subscribed to the list. Unless the mailing list is in the # "unsubscribe" or "unlist" lists, it will be added to the "subscribe" list. # Parsing and checking these things slows header reading down, so this option is # disabled by default. # # 3.29. auto_tag # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, functions in the index menu which affect a message will be applied to # all tagged messages (if there are any). When unset, you must first use the # function (bound to ";" by default) to make the next function apply # to all tagged messages. # # 3.30. autocrypt # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, enables autocrypt, which provides passive encryption protection with # keys exchanged via headers.

If set to yes # you don't get asked if you want to bounce a message. Setting this variable to # no is not generally useful, and thus not recommended, because you are unable to # bounce messages. # # 3.37. bounce_delivered # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When this variable is set, NeoMutt will include Delivered-To headers when # bouncing messages. Postfix users may wish to unset this variable. # # Note: On Debian systems, this option is unset by default in /etc/Muttrc. # set bounce_delivered=no # 3.38. braille_friendly # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When this variable is set, NeoMutt will place the cursor at the beginning of # the current line in menus, even when the $arrow_cursor variable is unset, # making it easier for blind persons using Braille displays to follow these # menus. The option is unset by default because many visual terminals don't # permit making the cursor invisible. # # 3.39. browser_abbreviate_mailboxes # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When this variable is set, NeoMutt will abbreviate mailbox names in the browser # mailbox list, using '~' and '=' shortcuts. # # The default "alpha" setting of $sort_browser uses locale-based sorting (using # strcoll(3)), which ignores some punctuation. This can lead to some situations # where the order doesn't make intuitive sense. In those cases, it may be # desirable to unset this variable. # # 3.40. catchup_newsgroup # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # If this variable is set, NeoMutt will mark all articles in newsgroup as read # when you quit the newsgroup (catchup newsgroup). # # 3.41. certificate_file # # Type: path # Default: “~/.mutt_certificates” # # This variable specifies the file where the certificates you trust are saved. # When an unknown certificate is encountered, you are asked if you accept it or # not. If you accept it, the certificate can also be saved in this file and # further connections are automatically accepted. # # You can also manually add CA certificates in this file.

This allows searching/limiting based on the protected Subject # header if the mailbox is re-opened, without having to re-open the message each # time. However, for mbox/mh mailbox types, or if header caching is not set up, # you would need to re-open the message each time the mailbox was reopened before # you could see or search/limit on the protected subject again. # # When this variable is set, NeoMutt additionally saves the protected Subject # back in the clear-text message headers.

(Crypto only) # # 3.74. crypt_timestamp # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If set, NeoMutt will include a time stamp in the lines surrounding PGP or S/ # MIME output, so spoofing such lines is more difficult. If you are using colors # to mark these lines, and rely on these, you may unset this setting. (Crypto # only) # # 3.75. crypt_use_gpgme # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # This variable controls the use of the GPGME-enabled crypto backends. If it is # set and NeoMutt was built with GPGME support, the gpgme code for S/MIME and PGP # will be used instead of the classic code. Note that you need to set this option # in .neomuttrc; it won't have any effect when used interactively. # # Note that the GPGME backend does not support creating old-style inline # (traditional) PGP encrypted or signed messages (see $pgp_auto_inline). # # 3.76. crypt_use_pka # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Controls whether NeoMutt uses PKA (see http://www.g10code.de/docs/ # pka-intro.de.pdf) during signature verification (only supported by the GPGME # backend). # set crypt_use_pka=yes # 3.77. crypt_verify_sig # # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # If "yes", always attempt to verify PGP or S/MIME signatures. If "ask-*", ask # whether or not to verify the signature. If "no", never attempt to verify # cryptographic signatures. (Crypto only) # # 3.78. date_format # # Type: string # Default: “!%a, %b %d, %Y at %I:%M:%S%p %Z” # # This variable controls the format of the date printed by the "%d" sequence in # $index_format. This is passed to the strftime(3) function to process the date, # see the man page for the proper syntax. # # Unless the first character in the string is a bang ("!"), the month and week # day names are expanded according to the locale. If the first character in the # string is a bang, the bang is discarded, and the month and week day names in # the rest of the string are expanded in the C locale (that is in US English). # set date_format="%F" # 3.79. debug_file # # Type: path # Default: “~/.neomuttdebug” # # Debug logging is controlled by the variables $debug_file and $debug_level. # $debug_file specifies the root of the filename. NeoMutt will add "0" to the # end. Each time NeoMutt is run with logging enabled, the log files are rotated. # A maximum of five log files are kept, numbered 0 (most recent) to 4 (oldest). # # This option can be enabled on the command line, "neomutt -l mylog" # # See also: $debug_level # # 3.80. debug_level # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # Debug logging is controlled by the variables $debug_file and $debug_level. # # The debug level controls how much information is saved to the log file. If you # have a problem with NeoMutt, then enabling logging may help find the cause. # Levels 1-3 will usually provide enough information for writing a bug report. # Levels 4,5 will be extremely verbose. # # Warning: Logging at high levels may save private information to the file. # # This option can be enabled on the command line, "neomutt -d 2" # # See also: $debug_file # # 3.81. default_hook # # Type: string # Default: “~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)” # # This variable controls how "message-hook", "reply-hook", "send-hook", " # send2-hook", "save-hook", and "fcc-hook" will be interpreted if they are # specified with only a simple regex, instead of a matching pattern. The hooks # are expanded when they are declared, so a hook will be interpreted according to # the value of this variable at the time the hook is declared. # # The default value matches if the message is either from a user matching the # regular expression given, or if it is from you (if the from address matches " # alternates") and is to or cc'ed to a user matching the given regular # expression. # # 3.82. delete # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # Controls whether or not messages are really deleted when closing or # synchronizing a mailbox. If set to yes, messages marked for deleting will # automatically be purged without prompting. If set to no, messages marked for # deletion will be kept in the mailbox. # set delete=yes # 3.83. delete_untag # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If this option is set, NeoMutt will untag messages when marking them for # deletion. This applies when you either explicitly delete a message, or when you # save it to another folder. # # 3.84. digest_collapse # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If this option is set, NeoMutt's received-attachments menu will not show the # subparts of individual messages in a multipart/digest. To see these subparts, # press "v" on that menu. # # 3.85. display_filter # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # When set, specifies a command used to filter messages. When a message is viewed # it is passed as standard input to $display_filter, and the filtered message is # read from the standard output. # # When preparing the message, NeoMutt inserts some escape sequences into the # text. They are of the form: ]9;XXX where "XXX" is a random 64-bit # number. # # If these escape sequences interfere with your filter, they can be removed using # a tool like ansifilter or sed 's/^x1b]9;[0-9]+x7//' # # If they are removed, then PGP and MIME headers will no longer be coloured. This # can be fixed by adding this to your config: color body magenta default '^[-- # .* --]$'. # # 3.86. dsn_notify # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # This variable sets the request for when notification is returned. The string # consists of a comma separated list (no spaces!) of one or more of the # following: never, to never request notification, failure, to request # notification on transmission failure, delay, to be notified of message delays, # success, to be notified of successful transmission. # # Example: # # set dsn_notify="failure,delay" # # Note: when using $sendmail for delivery, you should not enable this unless you # are either using Sendmail 8.8.x or greater or a MTA providing a sendmail(1) # -compatible interface supporting the -N option for DSN. For SMTP delivery, DSN # support is auto-detected so that it depends on the server whether DSN will be # used or not. # # 3.87. dsn_return # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # This variable controls how much of your message is returned in DSN messages. It # may be set to either hdrs to return just the message header, or full to return # the full message. # # Example: # # set dsn_return=hdrs # # Note: when using $sendmail for delivery, you should not enable this unless you # are either using Sendmail 8.8.x or greater or a MTA providing a sendmail(1) # -compatible interface supporting the -R option for DSN. For SMTP delivery, DSN # support is auto-detected so that it depends on the server whether DSN will be # used or not. # # 3.88. duplicate_threads # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # This variable controls whether NeoMutt, when $sort is set to threads, threads # messages with the same Message-Id together. If it is set, it will indicate that # it thinks they are duplicates of each other with an equals sign in the thread # tree. # # 3.89. edit_headers # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # This option allows you to edit the header of your outgoing messages along with # the body of your message. # # Although the compose menu may have localized header labels, the labels passed # to your editor will be standard RFC2822 headers, (e.g. To:, Cc:, Subject:). # Headers added in your editor must also be RFC2822 headers, or one of the pseudo # headers listed in "edit-header". NeoMutt will not understand localized header # labels, just as it would not when parsing an actual email. # # Note that changes made to the References: and Date: headers are ignored for # interoperability reasons. # set edit_headers=yes # 3.90. editor # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # This variable specifies which editor is used by NeoMutt. It defaults to the # value of the $VISUAL, or $EDITOR, environment variable, or to the string "/usr/ # bin/editor" if neither of those are set. # # The $editor string may contain a %s escape, which will be replaced by the name # of the file to be edited. If the %s escape does not appear in $editor, a space # and the name to be edited are appended. # # The resulting string is then executed by running # # sh -c 'string' # # where string is the expansion of $editor described above. # set editor="mailplate --edit --auto --keep-unknown" # 3.91. empty_subject # # Type: string # Default: “Re: your mail” # # This variable specifies the subject to be used when replying to an email with # an empty subject. It defaults to "Re: your mail". # # 3.92. encode_from # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will quoted-printable encode messages when they contain the # string "From " (note the trailing space) in the beginning of a line. This is # useful to avoid the tampering certain mail delivery and transport agents tend # to do with messages (in order to prevent tools from misinterpreting the line as # a mbox message separator). # # 3.93. envelope_from_address # # Type: e-mail address # Default: (empty) # # Manually sets the envelope sender for outgoing messages. This value is ignored # if $use_envelope_from is unset. # # 3.94. external_search_command # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # If set, contains the name of the external program used by "~I" patterns. This # will usually be a wrapper script around mairix, mu, or similar indexers other # than notmuch (for which there is optional special support). # # Here is an example how it works. Let's assume $external_search_command is set # to "mairix_filter", and mairix_filter is a script which runs the old but well # loved mairix indexer with the arguments given to mairix_filter, in the "raw" # mode of mairix, producing on the standard output a list of Message-IDs, one per # line. # # If possible, it also filters down the results coming from mairix such that only # messages in the current folder remain. It can do this because it gets a hidden # first argument which is the path to the folder. (This can be the type of clean # and simple script called a one-liner.) # # Now if NeoMutt gets a limit or tag command followed by the pattern "~I '-t # s:bleeping='", mairix_filter runs mairix with the arguments from inside the # quotes (the quotes are needed because of the space after "-t"), mairix finds # all messages with "bleeping" in the Subject plus all messages sharing threads # with these and outputs their file names, and mairix_filter translates the file # names into Message-IDs. Finally, NeoMutt reads the Message-IDs and targets the # matching messages with the command given to it. # # You, the user, still have to rewrite the mairix_filter script to match the # behavior of your indexer, but this should help users of indexers other than # notmuch to integrate them cleanly with NeoMutt. # # 3.95. fast_reply # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, the initial prompt for recipients (to, cc, bcc) and subject are # skipped when the relevant information is already provided. These cases include # replying to messages and passing the relevant command line arguments. The # initial prompt for recipients is also skipped when composing a new message to # the current message sender, while the initial prompt for subject is also # skipped when forwarding messages. # # Note: this variable has no effect when the $auto_edit variable is set. # # See also: $auto_edit, $edit_headers, $ask_cc, $ask_bcc # # 3.96. fcc_attach # # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # This variable controls whether or not attachments on outgoing messages are # saved along with the main body of your message. # # Note: $fcc_before_send forces the default (set) behavior of this option. # # 3.97. fcc_before_send # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When this variable is set, FCCs will occur before sending the message. Before # sending, the message cannot be manipulated, so it will be stored the exact same # as sent: $fcc_attach and $fcc_clear will be ignored (using their default # values). # # When unset, the default, FCCs will occur after sending. Variables $fcc_attach # and $fcc_clear will be respected, allowing it to be stored without attachments # or encryption/signing if desired. # # 3.98. fcc_clear # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When this variable is set, FCCs will be stored unencrypted and unsigned, even # when the actual message is encrypted and/or signed. # # Note: $fcc_before_send forces the default (unset) behavior of this option. (PGP # only) # # See also $pgp_self_encrypt, $smime_self_encrypt # # 3.99. flag_chars # # Type: character string # Default: “*!DdrONon- ” # # Controls the characters used in several flags. # # ┌─────────┬───────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ # │Character│Default│Description │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │1 │* │The mail is tagged. │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │2 │! │The mail is flagged as important. │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │3 │D │The mail is marked for deletion. │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │4 │d │The mail has attachments marked for deletion.│ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │5 │r │The mail has been replied to. │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │6 │O │The mail is Old (Unread but seen). │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │7 │N │The mail is New (Unread but not seen). │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │8 │o │The mail thread is Old (Unread but seen). │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │9 │n │The mail thread is New (Unread but not seen).│ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │10 │- │The mail is read - %S expando. │ # ├─────────┼───────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │11 ││The mail is read - %Z expando. │ # └─────────┴───────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ # # 3.100. flag_safe # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, flagged messages can't be deleted. # # 3.101. folder # # Type: mailbox # Default: “~/Mail” # # Specifies the default location of your mailboxes.

When set, NeoMutt will generate this field when you are replying # to a known mailing list, specified with the "subscribe" or "lists" commands. # # This field has two purposes. First, preventing you from receiving duplicate # copies of replies to messages which you send to mailing lists, and second, # ensuring that you do get a reply separately for any messages sent to known # lists to which you are not subscribed. # # The header will contain only the list's address for subscribed lists, and both # the list address and your own email address for unsubscribed lists. Without # this header, a group reply to your message sent to a subscribed list will be # sent to both the list and your address, resulting in two copies of the same # email for you. # # 3.104. followup_to_poster # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # If this variable is set and the keyword "poster" is present in Followup-To # header, follow-up to newsgroup function is not permitted. The message will be # mailed to the submitter of the message via mail. # # 3.105. force_name # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # This variable is similar to $save_name, except that NeoMutt will store a copy # of your outgoing message by the username of the address you are sending to even # if that mailbox does not exist. # # Also see the $record variable. # # 3.106. forward_attachments # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # When forwarding inline (i.e. $mime_forward unset or answered with "no" and # $forward_decode set), attachments which cannot be decoded in a reasonable # manner will be attached to the newly composed message if this quadoption is set # or answered with "yes". # # 3.107. forward_attribution_intro # # Type: string # Default: “----- Forwarded message from %f -----” # # This is the string that will precede a message which has been forwarded in the # main body of a message (when $mime_forward is unset).

The message header is also RFC2047 decoded. This variable is only # used, if $mime_forward is unset, otherwise $mime_forward_decode is used # instead. # # 3.110. forward_decrypt # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # Controls the handling of encrypted messages when forwarding a message. When set # , the outer layer of encryption is stripped off. This variable is only used if # $mime_forward is set and $mime_forward_decode is unset. (PGP only) # # 3.111. forward_edit # # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # This quadoption controls whether or not the user is automatically placed in the # editor when forwarding messages. For those who always want to forward with no # modification, use a setting of "no". # # 3.112. forward_format # # Type: string # Default: “[%a: %s]” # # This variable controls the default subject when forwarding a message. It uses # the same format sequences as the $index_format variable. # set forward_format="(fwd) %s" # 3.113. forward_quote # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, forwarded messages included in the main body of the message (when # $mime_forward is unset) will be quoted using $indent_string. # # 3.114. forward_references # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, forwarded messages set the "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" headers # in the same way as normal replies would. Hence the forwarded message becomes # part of the original thread instead of starting a new one. # # 3.115. from # # Type: e-mail address # Default: (empty) # # When set, this variable contains a default "from" address.

The default value will return the string up to # the first "," encountered. If the GECOS field contains a string like "lastname, # firstname" then you should set it to ".*". # # This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address an e-mail to # user ID "stevef" whose full name is "Steve Franklin". If NeoMutt expands # "stevef" to '"Franklin" stevef@foo.bar' then you should set the $gecos_mask to # a regular expression that will match the whole name so NeoMutt will expand # "Franklin" to "Franklin, Steve". # # 3.118. greeting # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # When set, this is the string that will precede every message as a greeting # phrase to the recipients. # # "Format strings" are similar to the strings used in the "C" function printf to # format output (see the man page for more detail).

The $weed setting applies. # # 3.122. header_cache # # Type: path # Default: (empty) # # This variable points to the header cache database. If the path points to an # existing directory, NeoMutt will create a dedicated header cache database per # folder. Otherwise, the path points to a regular file, which will be created as # needed and used as a shared global header cache for all folders.

Also, the help line may not be updated # if a binding is changed while NeoMutt is running. Since this variable is # primarily aimed at new users, neither of these should present a major problem. # # 3.126. hidden_host # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will skip the host name part of $hostname variable when # adding the domain part to addresses. This variable does not affect the # generation of Message-IDs, and it will not lead to the cut-off of first-level # domains. # # 3.127. hidden_tags # # Type: string list # Default: “unread,draft,flagged,passed,replied,attachment,signed,encrypted” # # This variable specifies a list of comma-separated private notmuch/imap tags # which should not be printed on screen. # # 3.128. hide_limited # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will not show the presence of messages that are hidden by # limiting, in the thread tree. # # 3.129. hide_missing # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will not show the presence of missing messages in the thread # tree. # # 3.130. hide_thread_subject # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will not show the subject of messages in the thread tree that # have the same subject as their parent or closest previously displayed sibling. # # 3.131. hide_top_limited # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will not show the presence of messages that are hidden by # limiting, at the top of threads in the thread tree.

The buffer is cleared each time the variable is # set. # # 3.134. history_file # # Type: path # Default: “~/.mutthistory” # # The file in which NeoMutt will save its history. # # Also see $save_history. # set history_file="~/.var/neomutt/history" # 3.135. history_remove_dups # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, all of the string history will be scanned for duplicates when a new # entry is added. Duplicate entries in the $history_file will also be removed # when it is periodically compacted. # # 3.136. honor_disposition # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will not display attachments with a disposition of # "attachment" inline even if it could render the part to plain text. These MIME # parts can only be viewed from the attachment menu. # # If unset, NeoMutt will render all MIME parts it can properly transform to plain # text. # # 3.137. honor_followup_to # # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # This variable controls whether or not a Mail-Followup-To header is honored when # group-replying to a message. # # 3.138. hostname # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # Specifies the fully-qualified hostname of the system NeoMutt is running on # containing the host's name and the DNS domain it belongs to. It is used as the # domain part (after "@") for local email addresses as well as Message-Id # headers. # # If not specified in a config file, then NeoMutt will try to determine the # hostname itself. # # Optionally, NeoMutt can be compiled with a fixed domain name. # # Also see $use_domain and $hidden_host. # # Note: On Debian systems, the default for this variable is obtained from /etc/ # mailname when Mutt starts. # # 3.139. idn_decode # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will show you international domain names decoded. Note: You # can use IDNs for addresses even if this is unset. This variable only affects # decoding. (IDN only) # # 3.140. idn_encode # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will encode international domain names using IDN. Unset this # if your SMTP server can handle newer (RFC6531) UTF-8 encoded domains. (IDN # only) # # 3.141. ignore_list_reply_to # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Affects the behavior of the function when replying to messages from # mailing lists (as defined by the "subscribe" or "lists" commands). When set, if # the "Reply-To:" field is set to the same value as the "To:" field, NeoMutt # assumes that the "Reply-To:" field was set by the mailing list to automate # responses to the list, and will ignore this field. To direct a response to the # mailing list when this option is set, use the function; # will reply to both the sender and the list. # set ignore_list_reply_to=yes # 3.142. imap_authenticators # # Type: string list # Default: (empty) # # This is a colon-separated list of authentication methods NeoMutt may attempt to # use to log in to an IMAP server, in the order NeoMutt should try them. # Authentication methods are either "login" or the right side of an IMAP "AUTH= # xxx" capability string, e.g. "digest-md5", "gssapi" or "cram-md5". This option # is case-insensitive. If it's unset (the default) NeoMutt will try all available # methods, in order from most-secure to least-secure. # # Example: # # set imap_authenticators="gssapi:cram-md5:login" # # Note: NeoMutt will only fall back to other authentication methods if the # previous methods are unavailable. If a method is available but authentication # fails, NeoMutt will not connect to the IMAP server. # # 3.143. imap_check_subscribed # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will fetch the set of subscribed folders from your server # whenever a mailbox is selected, and add them to the set of mailboxes it polls # for new mail just as if you had issued individual "mailboxes" commands. # # 3.144. imap_condstore # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will use the CONDSTORE extension (RFC7162) if advertised by # the server. NeoMutt's current implementation is basic, used only for initial # message fetching and flag updates. # # For some IMAP servers, enabling this will slightly speed up downloading initial # messages. Unfortunately, Gmail is not one those, and displays worse performance # when enabled. Your mileage may vary. # # 3.145. imap_delim_chars # # Type: string # Default: “/.” # # This contains the list of characters that NeoMutt will use as folder separators # for IMAP paths, when no separator is provided on the IMAP connection. # # 3.146. imap_fetch_chunk_size # # Type: number (long) # Default: 0 # # When set to a value greater than 0, new headers will be downloaded in groups of # this many headers per request. If you have a very large mailbox, this might # prevent a timeout and disconnect when opening the mailbox, by sending a FETCH # per set of this many headers, instead of a single FETCH for all new headers. # # 3.147. imap_headers # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # NeoMutt requests these header fields in addition to the default headers # ("Date:", "From:", "Sender:", "Subject:", "To:", "Cc:", "Message-Id:", # "References:", "Content-Type:", "Content-Description:", "In-Reply-To:", # "Reply-To:", "Lines:", "List-Post:", "X-Label:") from IMAP servers before # displaying the index menu. You may want to add more headers for spam detection. # # Note: This is a space separated list, items should be uppercase and not contain # the colon, e.g. "X-BOGOSITY X-SPAM-STATUS" for the "X-Bogosity:" and # "X-Spam-Status:" header fields. # # 3.148. imap_idle # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will attempt to use the IMAP IDLE extension to check for new # mail in the current mailbox. Some servers (dovecot was the inspiration for this # option) react badly to NeoMutt's implementation. If your connection seems to # freeze up periodically, try unsetting this. # # 3.149. imap_keepalive # # Type: number # Default: 300 # # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that NeoMutt will # wait before polling open IMAP connections, to prevent the server from closing # them before NeoMutt has finished with them. The default is well within the # RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before a server is allowed to # do this, but in practice the RFC does get violated every now and then. Reduce # this number if you find yourself getting disconnected from your IMAP server due # to inactivity. # # 3.150. imap_list_subscribed # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # This variable configures whether IMAP folder browsing will look for only # subscribed folders or all folders. This can be toggled in the IMAP browser with # the function. # # 3.151. imap_login # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # Your login name on the IMAP server. # # This variable defaults to the value of $imap_user. # # 3.152. imap_oauth_refresh_command # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # The command to run to generate an OAUTH refresh token for authorizing your # connection to your IMAP server. This command will be run on every connection # attempt that uses the OAUTHBEARER or XOAUTH2 authentication mechanisms. See " # oauth" for details. # # 3.153. imap_pass # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # Specifies the password for your IMAP account. If unset, NeoMutt will prompt you # for your password when you invoke the function or try to open # an IMAP folder. # # Warning: you should only use this option when you are on a fairly secure # machine, because the superuser can read your neomuttrc even if you are the only # one who can read the file. # # 3.154. imap_passive # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will not open new IMAP connections to check for new mail. # NeoMutt will only check for new mail over existing IMAP connections. This is # useful if you don't want to be prompted for user/password pairs on NeoMutt # invocation, or if opening the connection is slow. # # 3.155. imap_peek # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will avoid implicitly marking your mail as read whenever you # fetch a message from the server. This is generally a good thing, but can make # closing an IMAP folder somewhat slower. This option exists to appease speed # freaks. # # 3.156. imap_pipeline_depth # # Type: number # Default: 15 # # Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they are sent # to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time NeoMutt must wait # for the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much more responsive. But not # all servers correctly handle pipelined commands, so if you have problems you # might want to try setting this variable to 0. # # Note: Changes to this variable have no effect on open connections. # # 3.157. imap_poll_timeout # # Type: number # Default: 15 # # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that NeoMutt will # wait for a response when polling IMAP connections for new mail, before timing # out and closing the connection. Set to 0 to disable timing out. # # 3.158. imap_qresync # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will use the QRESYNC extension (RFC7162) if advertised by the # server. NeoMutt's current implementation is basic, used only for initial # message fetching and flag updates. # # Note: this feature is currently experimental. If you experience strange # behavior, such as duplicate or missing messages please file a bug report to let # us know. # # 3.159. imap_rfc5161 # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will use the IMAP ENABLE extension (RFC5161) to select # CAPABILITIES. Some servers (notably Coremail System IMap Server) do not # properly respond to ENABLE commands, which might cause NeoMutt to hang. If your # connection seems to freeze at login, try unsetting this. See also https:// # github.com/neomutt/neomutt/issues/1689 # # 3.160. imap_server_noise # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will display warning messages from the IMAP server as error # messages. Since these messages are often harmless, or generated due to # configuration problems on the server which are out of the users' hands, you may # wish to suppress them at some point. # # 3.161. imap_user # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # The name of the user whose mail you intend to access on the IMAP server. # # This variable defaults to your user name on the local machine. # # 3.162. implicit_autoview # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set to "yes", NeoMutt will look for a mailcap entry with the "copiousoutput" # flag set for every MIME attachment it doesn't have an internal viewer defined # for. If such an entry is found, NeoMutt will use the viewer defined in that # entry to convert the body part to text form. # set implicit_autoview=no # 3.163. include # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # Controls whether or not a copy of the message(s) you are replying to is # included in your reply. # set include=yes # 3.164. include_encrypted # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Controls whether or not NeoMutt includes separately encrypted attachment # contents when replying. # # This variable was added to prevent accidental exposure of encrypted contents # when replying to an attacker. If a previously encrypted message were attached # by the attacker, they could trick an unwary recipient into decrypting and # including the message in their reply. # # 3.165. include_only_first # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Controls whether or not NeoMutt includes only the first attachment of the # message you are replying. # # 3.166. indent_string # # Type: string # Default: “> ” # # Specifies the string to prepend to each line of text quoted in a message to # which you are replying. You are strongly encouraged not to change this value, # as it tends to agitate the more fanatical netizens. # # The value of this option is ignored if $text_flowed is set, because the quoting # mechanism is strictly defined for format=flowed. # # This option is a format string, please see the description of $index_format for # supported printf(3)-style sequences. # # 3.167. index_format # # Type: string # Default: “%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s” # # This variable allows you to customize the message index display to your # personal taste. # # "Format strings" are similar to the strings used in the C function printf(3) to # format output (see the man page for more details). For an explanation of the %? # construct, see the status_format description.

If unset a UTC date will be used instead to avoid leaking # information about your current location. # # 3.172. mail_check # # Type: number # Default: 5 # # This variable configures how often (in seconds) NeoMutt should look for new # mail. Also see the $timeout variable. # # 3.173. mail_check_recent # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will only notify you about new mail that has been received # since the last time you opened the mailbox. When unset, NeoMutt will notify you # if any new mail exists in the mailbox, regardless of whether you have visited # it recently. # # When $mark_old is set, NeoMutt does not consider the mailbox to contain new # mail if only old messages exist. # # 3.174. mail_check_stats # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will periodically calculate message statistics of a mailbox # while polling for new mail. It will check for unread, flagged, and total # message counts. Because this operation is more performance intensive, it # defaults to unset, and has a separate option, $mail_check_stats_interval, to # control how often to update these counts. # # Message statistics can also be explicitly calculated by invoking the # function. # set mail_check_stats=yes # 3.175. mail_check_stats_interval # # Type: number # Default: 60 # # When $mail_check_stats is set, this variable configures how often (in seconds) # NeoMutt will update message counts. # # 3.176. mailcap_path # # Type: string list # Default: “~/.mailcap:/usr/share/neomutt/mailcap:/etc/mailcap:/etc/mailcap:/usr/ # etc/mailcap:/usr/local/etc/mailcap” # # This variable specifies a list of colon-separated files to consult when # attempting to display MIME bodies not directly supported by NeoMutt.

This is the safe setting, but we are not # sure it doesn't break some more advanced MIME stuff. # # DON'T CHANGE THIS SETTING UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING! # # 3.178. maildir_check_cur # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, NeoMutt will poll both the new and cur directories of a maildir folder # for new messages. This might be useful if other programs interacting with the # folder (e.g. dovecot) are moving new messages to the cur directory. Note that # setting this option may slow down polling for new messages in large folders, # since NeoMutt has to scan all cur messages. # # 3.179. maildir_header_cache_verify # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # Check for Maildir unaware programs other than NeoMutt having modified maildir # files when the header cache is in use.

You probably only want to set it every once in a # while, since it can be a little slow (especially for large folders). # # 3.192. message_cachedir # # Type: path # Default: (empty) # # Set this to a directory and NeoMutt will cache copies of messages from your # IMAP and POP servers here. You are free to remove entries at any time. # # When setting this variable to a directory, NeoMutt needs to fetch every remote # message only once and can perform regular expression searches as fast as for # local folders. # # Also see the $message_cache_clean variable. # # 3.193. message_format # # Type: string # Default: “%s” # # This is the string displayed in the "attachment" menu for attachments of type # message/rfc822. For a full listing of defined printf(3)-like sequences see the # section on $index_format. # # 3.194. meta_key # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, forces NeoMutt to interpret keystrokes with the high bit (bit 8) set as # if the user had pressed the Esc key and whatever key remains after having the # high bit removed. For example, if the key pressed has an ASCII value of 0xf8, # then this is treated as if the user had pressed Esc then "x". This is because # the result of removing the high bit from 0xf8 is 0x78, which is the ASCII # character "x". # # 3.195. mh_purge # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When unset, NeoMutt will mimic mh's behavior and rename deleted messages to , # in mh folders instead of really deleting them. This leaves the # message on disk but makes programs reading the folder ignore it. If the # variable is set, the message files will simply be deleted. # # This option is similar to $maildir_trash for Maildir folders. # # 3.196. mh_seq_flagged # # Type: string # Default: “flagged” # # The name of the MH sequence used for flagged messages. # # 3.197. mh_seq_replied # # Type: string # Default: “replied” # # The name of the MH sequence used to tag replied messages. # # 3.198. mh_seq_unseen # # Type: string # Default: “unseen” # # The name of the MH sequence used for unseen messages. # # 3.199. mime_forward # # Type: quadoption # Default: no # # When set, the message you are forwarding will be attached as a separate message # /rfc822 MIME part instead of included in the main body of the message. This is # useful for forwarding MIME messages so the receiver can properly view the # message as it was delivered to you.

Unless $mime_type_query_first is set, this will only # be run if the attachment's extension is not found in the mime.types file. # # The string may contain a "%s", which will be substituted with the attachment # filename. NeoMutt will add quotes around the string substituted for "%s" # automatically according to shell quoting rules, so you should avoid adding your # own. If no "%s" is found in the string, NeoMutt will append the attachment # filename to the end of the string. # # The command should output a single line containing the attachment's mime type. # # Suggested values are "xdg-mime query filetype" or "file -bi". # # 3.203. mime_type_query_first # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, the $mime_type_query_command will be run before the mime.types # lookup. # # 3.204. mix_entry_format # # Type: string # Default: “%4n %c %-16s %a” # # This variable describes the format of a remailer line on the mixmaster chain # selection screen.

The # value "builtin" means to use the built-in pager, otherwise this variable should # specify the pathname of the external pager you would like to use. # # Using an external pager may have some disadvantages: Additional keystrokes are # necessary because you can't call NeoMutt functions directly from the pager, and # screen resizes cause lines longer than the screen width to be badly formatted # in the help menu. # # 3.238. pager_context # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # This variable controls the number of lines of context that are given when # displaying the next or previous page in the internal pager. By default, NeoMutt # will display the line after the last one on the screen at the top of the next # page (0 lines of context). # # This variable also specifies the amount of context given for search results.

The current message, unless near the top or bottom of the folder, will # be roughly one third of the way down this mini-index, giving the reader the # context of a few messages before and after the message. This is useful, for # example, to determine how many messages remain to be read in the current # thread. A value of 0 results in no index being shown. If the number of messages # in the current folder is less than $pager_index_lines, then the index will only # use as many lines as it needs. # set pager_index_lines=$menu_context # 3.241. pager_read_delay # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # Determines the number of seconds that must elapse after first opening a new # message in the pager before that message will be marked as read. A value of 0 # results in the message being marked read unconditionally; for other values, # navigating to another message or exiting the pager before the timeout will # leave the message marked unread. This setting is ignored if $pager is not # builtin. # # 3.242. pager_skip_quoted_context # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # Determines the number of lines of context to show before the unquoted text when # using the function. When set to a positive number at most that # many lines of the previous quote are displayed.

(PGP only) # # 3.269. pgp_show_unusable # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If set, NeoMutt will display non-usable keys on the PGP key selection menu. # This includes keys which have been revoked, have expired, or have been marked # as "disabled" by the user. (PGP only) # set pgp_show_unusable=no # 3.270. pgp_sign_as # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # If you have a different key pair to use for signing, you should set this to the # signing key. Most people will only need to set $pgp_default_key. It is # recommended that you use the keyid form to specify your key (e.g. 0x00112233). # (PGP only) # set pgp_sign_as="0x9C9D6979AE941637" # 3.271. pgp_sign_command # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # This command is used to create the detached PGP signature for a multipart/ # signed PGP/MIME body part. # # This is a format string, see the $pgp_decode_command command for possible # printf(3)-like sequences. (PGP only) # # 3.272. pgp_sort_keys # # Type: sort order # Default: address # # Specifies how the entries in the pgp menu are sorted.

(PGP only) # # 3.274. pgp_timeout # # Type: number (long) # Default: 300 # # The number of seconds after which a cached passphrase will expire if not used. # (PGP only) # # 3.275. pgp_use_gpg_agent # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If set, NeoMutt expects a gpg-agent(1) process will handle private key # passphrase prompts. If unset, NeoMutt will prompt for the passphrase and pass # it via stdin to the pgp command. # # Note that as of version 2.1, GnuPG automatically spawns an agent and requires # the agent be used for passphrase management. Since that version is increasingly # prevalent, this variable now defaults set. # # NeoMutt works with a GUI or curses pinentry program.

(PGP # only) # set pgp_use_gpg_agent=yes # 3.276. pgp_verify_command # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # This command is used to verify PGP signatures. # # This is a format string, see the $pgp_decode_command command for possible # printf(3)-like sequences. (PGP only) # # 3.277. pgp_verify_key_command # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # This command is used to verify key information from the key selection menu. # # This is a format string, see the $pgp_decode_command command for possible # printf(3)-like sequences. (PGP only) # # 3.278. pipe_decode # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Used in connection with the function. When unset, NeoMutt will # pipe the messages without any preprocessing. When set, NeoMutt will attempt to # decode the messages first. # # Also see $pipe_decode_weed, which controls whether headers will be weeded when # this is set. # # 3.279. pipe_decode_weed # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # For , when $pipe_decode is set, this further controls whether # NeoMutt will weed headers. # # 3.280. pipe_sep # # Type: string # Default: “n” # # The separator to add between messages when piping a list of tagged messages to # an external Unix command. # # 3.281. pipe_split # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Used in connection with the function following . If # this variable is unset, when piping a list of tagged messages NeoMutt will # concatenate the messages and will pipe them all concatenated. When set, NeoMutt # will pipe the messages one by one. In both cases the messages are piped in the # current sorted order, and the $pipe_sep separator is added after each message. # # 3.282. pop_auth_try_all # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If set, NeoMutt will try all available authentication methods. When unset, # NeoMutt will only fall back to other authentication methods if the previous # methods are unavailable. If a method is available but authentication fails, # NeoMutt will not connect to the POP server. # # 3.283. pop_authenticators # # Type: string list # Default: (empty) # # This is a colon-separated list of authentication methods NeoMutt may attempt to # use to log in to an POP server, in the order NeoMutt should try them. # Authentication methods are either "user", "apop" or any SASL mechanism, e.g. # "digest-md5", "gssapi" or "cram-md5". This option is case-insensitive. If this # option is unset (the default) NeoMutt will try all available methods, in order # from most-secure to least-secure. # # Example: # # set pop_authenticators="digest-md5:apop:user" # # 3.284. pop_check_interval # # Type: number # Default: 60 # # This variable configures how often (in seconds) NeoMutt should look for new # mail in the currently selected mailbox if it is a POP mailbox. # # 3.285. pop_delete # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-no # # If set, NeoMutt will delete successfully downloaded messages from the POP # server when using the function. When unset, NeoMutt will download # messages but also leave them on the POP server. # # 3.286. pop_host # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # The name of your POP server for the function. You can also specify # an alternative port, username and password, i.e.: # # [pop[s]://][username[:password]@]popserver[:port] # # where "[...]" denotes an optional part. # # 3.287. pop_last # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If this variable is set, NeoMutt will try to use the "LAST" POP command for # retrieving only unread messages from the POP server when using the # function. # # 3.288. pop_oauth_refresh_command # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # The command to run to generate an OAUTH refresh token for authorizing your # connection to your POP server. This command will be run on every connection # attempt that uses the OAUTHBEARER authentication mechanism. See "oauth" for # details. # # 3.289. pop_pass # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # Specifies the password for your POP account. If unset, NeoMutt will prompt you # for your password when you open a POP mailbox. # # Warning: you should only use this option when you are on a fairly secure # machine, because the superuser can read your neomuttrc even if you are the only # one who can read the file. # # 3.290. pop_reconnect # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # Controls whether or not NeoMutt will try to reconnect to the POP server if the # connection is lost. # # 3.291. pop_user # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # Your login name on the POP server. # # This variable defaults to your user name on the local machine. # # 3.292. post_indent_string # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # Similar to the $attribution variable, NeoMutt will append this string after the # inclusion of a message which is being replied to. # # 3.293. post_moderated # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # If set to yes, NeoMutt will post article to newsgroup that have not permissions # to posting (e.g. moderated). Note: if news server does not support posting to # that newsgroup or totally read-only, that posting will not have an effect. # # 3.294. postpone # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # Controls whether or not messages are saved in the $postponed mailbox when you # elect not to send immediately. If set to ask-yes or ask-no, you will be # prompted with "Save (postpone) draft message?" when quitting from the "compose" # screen. # # Also see the $recall variable. # # 3.295. postpone_encrypt # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, postponed messages that are marked for encryption will be # self-encrypted. NeoMutt will first try to encrypt using the value specified in # $pgp_default_key or $smime_default_key. If those are not set, it will try the # deprecated $postpone_encrypt_as. (Crypto only) # # 3.296. postpone_encrypt_as # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # This is a deprecated fall-back variable for $postpone_encrypt. Please use # $pgp_default_key or $smime_default_key. (Crypto only) # # 3.297. postponed # # Type: mailbox # Default: “~/postponed” # # NeoMutt allows you to indefinitely "postpone sending a message" which you are # editing. When you choose to postpone a message, NeoMutt saves it in the mailbox # specified by this variable. # # Also see the $postpone variable. # set postponed="=drafts" # 3.298. preconnect # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # If set, a shell command to be executed if NeoMutt fails to establish a # connection to the server. This is useful for setting up secure connections, # e.g. with ssh(1). If the command returns a nonzero status, NeoMutt gives up # opening the server. Example: # # set preconnect="ssh -f -q -L 1234:mailhost.net:143 mailhost.net sleep 20 < /dev/null > /dev/null" # # Mailbox "foo" on "mailhost.net" can now be reached as "{localhost:1234}foo". # # Note: For this example to work, you must be able to log in to the remote # machine without having to enter a password. # # 3.299. preferred_languages # # Type: string list # Default: (empty) # # This variable specifies a list of comma-separated languages. RFC8255 : user # preferred languages to be searched in parts and display. Example: # # set preferred_languages="en,fr,de" # # 3.300. print # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-no # # Controls whether or not NeoMutt really prints messages. This is set to "ask-no" # by default, because some people accidentally hit "p" often. # # 3.301. print_command # # Type: command # Default: “lpr” # # This specifies the command pipe that should be used to print messages. # set print_command="muttprint" # 3.302. print_decode # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # Used in connection with the function. If this option is set, # the message is decoded before it is passed to the external command specified by # $print_command. If this option is unset, no processing will be applied to the # message when printing it. The latter setting may be useful if you are using # some advanced printer filter which is able to properly format e-mail messages # for printing. # # Also see $print_decode_weed, which controls whether headers will be weeded when # this is set. # # 3.303. print_decode_weed # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # For , when $print_decode is set, this further controls whether # NeoMutt will weed headers. # # 3.304. print_split # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Used in connection with the function. If this option is set, # the command specified by $print_command is executed once for each message which # is to be printed. If this option is unset, the command specified by # $print_command is executed only once, and all the messages are concatenated, # with a form feed as the message separator. # # Those who use the enscript(1) program's mail-printing mode will most likely # want to set this option. # set print_split=yes # 3.305. prompt_after # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If you use an external $pager, setting this variable will cause NeoMutt to # prompt you for a command when the pager exits rather than returning to the # index menu. If unset, NeoMutt will return to the index menu when the external # pager exits. # # 3.306. query_command # # Type: command # Default: (empty) # # This specifies the command NeoMutt will use to make external address queries. # The string may contain a "%s", which will be substituted with the query string # the user types. NeoMutt will add quotes around the string substituted for "%s" # automatically according to shell quoting rules, so you should avoid adding your # own. If no "%s" is found in the string, NeoMutt will append the user's query to # the end of the string. See "query" (https://neomutt.org/guide/ # advancedusage.html#query) for more information. # set query_command="lbdbq" # 3.307. query_format # # Type: string # Default: “%3c %t %-25.25n %-25.25a | %e” # # This variable describes the format of the "query" menu. The following printf(3) # -style sequences are understood: # # ┌───┬─┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ # │%a │ │Destination address │ # ├───┼─┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │%c │ │Current entry number │ # ├───┼─┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │%e │*│Extra information │ # ├───┼─┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │%n │ │Destination name │ # ├───┼─┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │%t │ │"*" if current entry is tagged, a space otherwise │ # ├───┼─┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │%>X│ │Right justify the rest of the string and pad with "X"│ # ├───┼─┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │%|X│ │Pad to the end of the line with "X" │ # ├───┼─┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │%*X│ │Soft-fill with character "X" as pad │ # └───┴─┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ # # For an explanation of "soft-fill", see the $index_format documentation. # # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero, see the $status_format documentation. # # 3.308. quit # # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # This variable controls whether "quit" and "exit" actually quit from NeoMutt. If # this option is set, they do quit, if it is unset, they have no effect, and if # it is set to ask-yes or ask-no, you are prompted for confirmation when you try # to quit. # # 3.309. quote_regex # # Type: regular expression # Default: “^([ t]*[|>:}#])+” # # A regular expression used in the internal pager to determine quoted sections of # text in the body of a message. Quoted text may be filtered out using the # command, or colored according to the "color quoted" family of # directives. # # Higher levels of quoting may be colored differently ("color quoted1", "color # quoted2", etc.). The quoting level is determined by removing the last character # from the matched text and recursively reapplying the regular expression until # it fails to produce a match. # # Match detection may be overridden by the $smileys regular expression. # # 3.310. read_inc # # Type: number # Default: 10 # # If set to a value greater than 0, NeoMutt will display which message it is # currently on when reading a mailbox or when performing search actions such as # search and limit. The message is printed after this many messages have been # read or searched (e.g., if set to 25, NeoMutt will print a message when it is # at message 25, and then again when it gets to message 50). This variable is # meant to indicate progress when reading or searching large mailboxes which may # take some time. When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the # reading the mailbox. # # Also see the $write_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the "tuning" # section of the manual for performance considerations. # # 3.311. read_only # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, all folders are opened in read-only mode. # # 3.312. real_name # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # This variable specifies what "real" or "personal" name should be used when # sending messages. # # If not specified, then the user's "real name" will be read from /etc/passwd. # This option will not be used, if "$from" is set. # # 3.313. recall # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # Controls whether or not NeoMutt recalls postponed messages when composing a new # message. # # Setting this variable to yes is not generally useful, and thus not recommended. # Note that the function can be used to manually recall # postponed messages. # # Also see $postponed variable. # set recall=no # 3.314. record # # Type: mailbox # Default: “~/sent” # # This specifies the file into which your outgoing messages should be appended. # (This is meant as the primary method for saving a copy of your messages, but # another way to do this is using the "my_hdr" command to create a "Bcc:" field # with your email address in it.) # # The value of $record is overridden by the $force_name and $save_name variables, # and the "fcc-hook" command. Also see $copy and $write_bcc. # set record="=store" # 3.315. reflow_space_quotes # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # This option controls how quotes from format=flowed messages are displayed in # the pager and when replying (with $text_flowed unset). When set, this option # adds spaces after each level of quote marks, turning ">>>foo" into "> > > foo". # # Note: If $reflow_text is unset, this option has no effect. Also, this option # does not affect replies when $text_flowed is set. # # 3.316. reflow_text # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will reformat paragraphs in text/plain parts marked format= # flowed. If unset, NeoMutt will display paragraphs unaltered from how they # appear in the message body. See RFC3676 for details on the format=flowed # format. # # Also see $reflow_wrap, and $wrap. # # 3.317. reflow_wrap # # Type: number # Default: 78 # # This variable controls the maximum paragraph width when reformatting text/plain # parts when $reflow_text is set. When the value is 0, paragraphs will be wrapped # at the terminal's right margin. A positive value sets the paragraph width # relative to the left margin. A negative value set the paragraph width relative # to the right margin. # # Also see $wrap. # set reflow_wrap=-10 # 3.318. reply_regex # # Type: regular expression # Default: “^((re|aw|sv)([[0-9]+])*:[ t]*)*” # # A regular expression used to recognize reply messages when threading and # replying. The default value corresponds to the English "Re:", the German "Aw:" # and the Swedish "Sv:". # # 3.319. reply_self # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If unset and you are replying to a message sent by you, NeoMutt will assume # that you want to reply to the recipients of that message rather than to # yourself. # # Also see the "alternates" command. # # 3.320. reply_to # # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # If set, when replying to a message, NeoMutt will use the address listed in the # Reply-to: header as the recipient of the reply. If unset, it will use the # address in the From: header field instead. This option is useful for reading a # mailing list that sets the Reply-To: header field to the list address and you # want to send a private message to the author of a message. # # 3.321. reply_with_xorig # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # This variable provides a toggle. When active, the From: header will be # extracted from the current mail's 'X-Original-To:' header. This setting does # not have precedence over "reverse_real_name". # # Assuming 'fast_reply' is disabled, this option will prompt the user with a # prefilled From: header. # # 3.322. resolve # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, the cursor will be automatically advanced to the next (possibly # undeleted) message whenever a command that modifies the current message is # executed. # # 3.323. resume_draft_files # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, draft files (specified by -H on the command line) are processed # similarly to when resuming a postponed message. Recipients are not prompted # for; send-hooks are not evaluated; no alias expansion takes place; user-defined # headers and signatures are not added to the message. # # 3.324. resume_edited_draft_files # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If set, draft files previously edited (via -E -H on the command line) will have # $resume_draft_files automatically set when they are used as a draft file again. # # The first time a draft file is saved, NeoMutt will add a header, # X-Mutt-Resume-Draft to the saved file. The next time the draft file is read in, # if NeoMutt sees the header, it will set $resume_draft_files. # # This option is designed to prevent multiple signatures, user-defined headers, # and other processing effects from being made multiple times to the draft file. # # 3.325. reverse_alias # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # This variable controls whether or not NeoMutt will display the "personal" name # from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that matches the # message's sender. For example, if you have the following alias: # # alias juser abd30425@somewhere.net (Joe User) # # and then you receive mail which contains the following header: # # From: abd30425@somewhere.net # # It would be displayed in the index menu as "Joe User" instead of # "abd30425@somewhere.net." This is useful when the person's e-mail address is # not human friendly. # # 3.326. reverse_name # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine, move the # messages to another machine, and reply to some the messages from there. If this # variable is set, the default From: line of the reply messages is built using # the address where you received the messages you are replying to if that address # matches your "alternates". If the variable is unset, or the address that would # be used doesn't match your "alternates", the From: line will use your address # on the current machine. # # Also see the "alternates" command and $reverse_real_name. # set reverse_name=yes # 3.327. reverse_real_name # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # This variable fine-tunes the behavior of the $reverse_name feature. # # When it is unset, NeoMutt will remove the real name part of a matching address. # This allows the use of the email address without having to also use what the # sender put in the real name field. # # When it is set, NeoMutt will use the matching address as-is. # # In either case, a missing real name will be filled in afterwards using the # value of $real_name. # # 3.328. rfc2047_parameters # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When this variable is set, NeoMutt will decode RFC2047-encoded MIME parameters. # You want to set this variable when NeoMutt suggests you to save attachments to # files named like: # # =?iso-8859-1?Q?file=5F=E4=5F991116=2Ezip?= # =?utf-8?Q?z=C4=99ta.png?= # # When this variable is set interactively, the change won't be active until you # change folders. # # Note that this use of RFC2047's encoding is explicitly prohibited by the # standard, but nevertheless encountered in the wild and produced by, e.g., # Outlook. # # Also note that setting this parameter will not have the effect that NeoMutt # generates this kind of encoding. Instead, NeoMutt will unconditionally use the # encoding specified in RFC2231. # set rfc2047_parameters=yes # 3.329. save_address # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # If set, NeoMutt will take the sender's full address when choosing a default # folder for saving a mail. If $save_name or $force_name is set too, the # selection of the Fcc folder will be changed as well. # # 3.330. save_empty # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed when # closed (the exception is $spool_file which is never removed). If set, mailboxes # are never removed. # # Note: This only applies to mbox and MMDF folders, NeoMutt does not delete MH # and Maildir directories. # # 3.331. save_history # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # This variable controls the size of the history (per category) saved in the # $history_file file. # set save_history=100 # 3.332. save_name # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved. When set, a # check is made to see if a mailbox specified by the recipient address exists # (this is done by searching for a mailbox in the $folder directory with the # username part of the recipient address). If the mailbox exists, the outgoing # message will be saved to that mailbox, otherwise the message is saved to the # $record mailbox. # # Also see the $force_name variable. # # 3.333. save_unsubscribed # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, info about unsubscribed newsgroups will be saved into "newsrc" file # and into cache. # # 3.334. score # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When this variable is unset, scoring is turned off. This can be useful to # selectively disable scoring for certain folders when the # $score_threshold_delete variable and related are used. # # 3.335. score_threshold_delete # # Type: number # Default: -1 # # Messages which have been assigned a score equal to or lower than the value of # this variable are automatically marked for deletion by NeoMutt. Since NeoMutt # scores are always greater than or equal to zero, the default setting of this # variable will never mark a message for deletion. # # 3.336. score_threshold_flag # # Type: number # Default: 9999 # # Messages which have been assigned a score greater than or equal to this # variable's value are automatically marked "flagged". # # 3.337. score_threshold_read # # Type: number # Default: -1 # # Messages which have been assigned a score equal to or lower than the value of # this variable are automatically marked as read by NeoMutt. Since NeoMutt scores # are always greater than or equal to zero, the default setting of this variable # will never mark a message read. # # 3.338. search_context # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # For the pager, this variable specifies the number of lines shown before search # results. By default, search results will be top-aligned. # set search_context=5 # 3.339. send_charset # # Type: string # Default: “us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8” # # A colon-delimited list of character sets for outgoing messages. NeoMutt will # use the first character set into which the text can be converted exactly. If # your $charset is not "iso-8859-1" and recipients may not understand "UTF-8", it # is advisable to include in the list an appropriate widely used standard # character set (such as "iso-8859-2", "koi8-r" or "iso-2022-jp") either instead # of or after "iso-8859-1". # # In case the text can't be converted into one of these exactly, NeoMutt uses # $charset as a fallback. # set send_charset="utf-8" # 3.340. sendmail # # Type: command # Default: “/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi” # # Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by NeoMutt. # NeoMutt expects that the specified program interprets additional arguments as # recipient addresses. NeoMutt appends all recipients after adding a -- delimiter # (if not already present). Additional flags, such as for $use_8bit_mime, # $use_envelope_from, $dsn_notify, or $dsn_return will be added before the # delimiter. # # See also: $write_bcc. # set sendmail="$my_confdir/sendmail" # 3.341. sendmail_wait # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # Specifies the number of seconds to wait for the $sendmail process to finish # before giving up and putting delivery in the background. # # NeoMutt interprets the value of this variable as follows: # # ┌──┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ # │>0│number of seconds to wait for sendmail to finish before continuing│ # ├──┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │0 │wait forever for sendmail to finish │ # ├──┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ # │<0│always put sendmail in the background without waiting │ # └──┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ # # Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child process # will be put in a temporary file. If there is some error, you will be informed # as to where to find the output. # # 3.342. shell # # Type: command # Default: “/bin/sh” # # Command to use when spawning a subshell. If not specified, then the user's # login shell from /etc/passwd is used. # # 3.343. show_multipart_alternative # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # When set to info, the multipart/alternative information is shown.

Setting this variable overrides the # value of the $sendmail variable. # # Also see $write_bcc. # # 3.397. smtp_user # # Type: string # Default: (empty) # # The username for the SMTP server. # # This variable defaults to your user name on the local machine. # # 3.398. sort # # Type: sort order # Default: date # # Specifies how to sort messages in the "index" menu. Valid values are: # # • date # # • date-received # # • from # # • score # # • size # # • spam # # • subject # # • threads # # • to # # • unsorted # # You may optionally use the "reverse-" prefix to specify reverse sorting order, # or the "last-" prefix to sort threads based on the corresponding attribute of # the last descendant rather than the thread root. If both prefixes are in use, # "reverse-" must come before "last-". The "last-" prefix has no effect on a flat # view. # # Any ties in the primary sort are broken by $sort_aux. When $use_threads is # "threads" or "reverse", $sort controls the sorting between threads, and # $sort_aux controls the sorting within a thread. # # The "date-sent" value is a synonym for "date". The "mailbox-order" value is a # synonym for "unsorted". # # The values of "threads" and "reverse-threads" are legacy options, which cause # the value of $sort_aux to also contol sorting between threads, and they may not # be used with the "last-" prefix. The preferred way to enable a threaded view is # via $use_threads. This variable can also be set via the and # functions. # # Note: When $use_threads is "threads", the last thread sorts to the bottom; when # it is "reversed", the last thread sorts to the top. The use of "reverse-" in # $sort swaps which end the last thread will sort to. # # See the "Use Threads Feature" section for further explanation and examples, # https://neomutt.org/feature/use-threads. # set sort=threads # 3.399. sort_alias # # Type: sort order # Default: alias # # Specifies how the entries in the "alias" menu are sorted. The following are # legal values: # # • address (sort alphabetically by email address) # # • alias (sort alphabetically by alias name) # # • unsorted (leave in order specified in .neomuttrc) # # Note: This also affects the entries of the address query menu, thus potentially # overruling the order of entries as generated by $query_command. # # 3.400. sort_aux # # Type: sort order # Default: date # # This provides a secondary sort for messages in the "index" menu, used when the # $sort value is equal for two messages. # # When sorting by threads, this variable controls how subthreads are sorted # within a single thread (for the order between threads, see $sort). This can be # set to any value that $sort can, including with the use of "reverse-" and # "last-" prefixes, except for variations using "threads" (in that case, NeoMutt # will just use "date"). For instance, # # set sort_aux=last-date-received # # would mean that if a new message is received in a thread, that subthread # becomes the last one displayed (or the first, if you have "set use_threads= # reverse".) When using $use_threads, it is more common to use "last-" with $sort # and not with $sort_aux. # # See the "Use Threads Feature" section for further explanation and examples, # https://neomutt.org/feature/use-threads. # set sort_aux=last-date-received # 3.401. sort_browser # # Type: sort order # Default: alpha # # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the entries are # sorted alphabetically. Valid values: # # • alpha (alphabetically) # # • count (all message count) # # • date # # • desc (description) # # • new (new message count) # # • size # # • unsorted # # You may optionally use the "reverse-" prefix to specify reverse sorting order # (example: "set sort_browser=reverse-date"). # # The "unread" value is a synonym for "new". # # 3.402. sort_re # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with $strict_threads unset # . In that case, it changes the heuristic mutt uses to thread messages by # subject. With $sort_re set, mutt will only attach a message as the child of # another message by subject if the subject of the child message starts with a # substring matching the setting of $reply_regex. With $sort_re unset, mutt will # attach the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the non- # $reply_regex parts of both messages are identical. # # 3.403. spam_separator # # Type: string # Default: “,” # # This variable controls what happens when multiple spam headers are matched: if # unset, each successive header will overwrite any previous matches value for the # spam label. If set, each successive match will append to the previous, using # this variable's value as a separator. # # 3.404. spool_file # # Type: mailbox # Default: (empty) # # If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where NeoMutt can't find it, # you can specify its location with this variable. The description from # "named-mailboxes" or "virtual-mailboxes" may be used for the spool_file. # # If not specified, then the environment variables $MAIL and $MAILDIR will be # checked. # set spool_file="=inbox" # 3.405. ssl_ca_certificates_file # # Type: path # Default: (empty) # # This variable specifies a file containing trusted CA certificates.

See gnutls_priority_init(3) for the syntax and more details. # (Note: GnuTLS version 2.1.7 or higher is required.) # # 3.407. ssl_client_cert # # Type: path # Default: (empty) # # The file containing a client certificate and its associated private key. # # 3.408. ssl_force_tls # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # If this variable is set, NeoMutt will require that all connections to remote # servers be encrypted. Furthermore it will attempt to negotiate TLS even if the # server does not advertise the capability, since it would otherwise have to # abort the connection anyway. This option supersedes $ssl_starttls. # # 3.409. ssl_min_dh_prime_bits # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # This variable specifies the minimum acceptable prime size (in bits) for use in # any Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

You may be able to use this to set up preauthenticated # connections to your IMAP/POP3/SMTP server. Example: # # set tunnel="ssh -q mailhost.net /usr/local/libexec/imapd" # # Note: For this example to work you must be able to log in to the remote machine # without having to enter a password. # # When set, NeoMutt uses the tunnel for all remote connections. Please see " # account-hook" in the manual for how to use different tunnel commands per # connection. # # 3.437. tunnel_is_secure # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will assume the $tunnel connection does not need STARTTLS to # be enabled. It will also allow IMAP PREAUTH server responses inside a tunnel to # proceed. This is appropriate if $tunnel uses ssh or directly invokes the server # locally. # # When unset, NeoMutt will negotiate STARTTLS according to the ssl_starttls and # ssl_force_tls variables. If ssl_force_tls is set, NeoMutt will abort connecting # if an IMAP server responds with PREAUTH. This setting is appropriate if $tunnel # does not provide security and could be tampered with by attackers. # # 3.438. uncollapse_jump # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will jump to the next unread message, if any, when the # current thread is uncollapsed. # # 3.439. uncollapse_new # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will automatically uncollapse any collapsed thread that # receives a new message. When unset, collapsed threads will remain collapsed. # the presence of the new message will still affect index sorting, though. # # 3.440. use_8bit_mime # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Warning: do not set this variable unless you are using a version of sendmail # which supports the -B8BITMIME flag (such as sendmail 8.8.x) or you may not be # able to send mail. # # When set, NeoMutt will invoke $sendmail with the -B8BITMIME flag when sending # 8-bit messages to enable ESMTP negotiation. # # 3.441. use_domain # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will qualify all local addresses (ones without the "@host" # portion) with the value of $hostname. If unset, no addresses will be qualified. # # 3.442. use_envelope_from # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will set the envelope sender of the message. If # $envelope_from_address is set, it will be used as the sender address. If unset, # NeoMutt will attempt to derive the sender from the "From:" header. # # Note that this information is passed to sendmail command using the -f command # line switch. Therefore setting this option is not useful if the $sendmail # variable already contains -f or if the executable pointed to by $sendmail # doesn't support the -f switch. # set use_envelope_from=yes # 3.443. use_from # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will generate the "From:" header field when sending messages. # If unset, no "From:" header field will be generated unless the user explicitly # sets one using the "my_hdr" command. # # 3.444. use_ipv6 # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will look for IPv6 addresses of hosts it tries to contact. If # this option is unset, NeoMutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses. Normally, # the default should work. # # 3.445. use_threads # # Type: enumeration # Default: unset # # The style of threading used in the index. May be one of "flat" (no threading), # "threads" (threaded, with subthreads below root message) or "reverse" # (threaded, with subthreads above root message). For convenience, the value # "yes" is a synonym for "threads", and "no" is a synonym for "flat". # # If this variable is never set, then $sort controls whether threading is used, # $sort_aux controls both the sorting of threads and subthreads, and using # to select threads affects only $sort. Once this variable is set, # attempting to set $sort to a value using "threads" will warn, the value of # $sort controls the sorting between threads while $sort_aux controls sorting # within a thread, and toggles $use_threads. # # Example: # # set use_threads=yes # # See the "Use Threads Feature" section for further explanation and examples. # # 3.446. user_agent # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will add a "User-Agent:" header to outgoing messages, # indicating which version of NeoMutt was used for composing them. # # 3.447. vfolder_format # # Type: string # Default: “%2C %?n?%4n/& ?%4m %f” # # This variable allows you to customize the file browser display for virtual # folders to your personal taste. This string uses many of the same expandos as # $folder_format. # # 3.448. virtual_spool_file # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # When set, NeoMutt will use the first defined virtual mailbox (see # virtual-mailboxes) as a spool file. # # This command is now unnecessary. $spool_file has been extended to support # mailbox descriptions as a value. # # 3.449. wait_key # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # Controls whether NeoMutt will ask you to press a key after an external command # has been invoked by these functions: , , # , , and commands. # # It is also used when viewing attachments with "auto_view", provided that the # corresponding mailcap entry has a needsterminal flag, and the external program # is interactive. # # When set, NeoMutt will always ask for a key. When unset, NeoMutt will wait for # a key only if the external command returned a non-zero status. # set wait_key=no # 3.450. weed # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # When set, NeoMutt will weed headers when displaying, forwarding, or replying to # messages. # # Also see $copy_decode_weed, $pipe_decode_weed, $print_decode_weed. # # 3.451. wrap # # Type: number # Default: 0 # # When set to a positive value, NeoMutt will wrap text at $wrap characters. When # set to a negative value, NeoMutt will wrap text so that there are $wrap # characters of empty space on the right side of the terminal. Setting it to zero # makes NeoMutt wrap at the terminal width. # # Also see $reflow_wrap. # set wrap=$reflow_wrap # 3.452. wrap_headers # # Type: number # Default: 78 # # This option specifies the number of characters to use for wrapping an outgoing # message's headers. Allowed values are between 78 and 998 inclusive. # # Note: This option usually shouldn't be changed. RFC5233 recommends a line # length of 78 (the default), so please only change this setting when you know # what you're doing. # # 3.453. wrap_search # # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # Controls whether searches wrap around the end. # # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When unset, # incremental searches will not wrap. # # 3.454. write_bcc # # Type: boolean # Default: no # # Controls whether NeoMutt writes out the "Bcc:" header when preparing messages # to be sent. Some MTAs, such as Exim and Courier, do not strip the "Bcc:" # header; so it is advisable to leave this unset unless you have a particular # need for the header to be in the sent message. # # If NeoMutt is set to deliver directly via SMTP(see $smtp_url), this option does # nothing: NeoMutt will never write out the "Bcc:" header in this case. # # Note this option only affects the sending of messages. Fcc'ed copies of a # message will always contain the "Bcc:" header if one exists. # # Note: On Debian systems, exim4 and postfix strip BCC headers by default. The # above warning applies to exim3 users, see /etc/Muttrc. # # 3.455. write_inc # # Type: number # Default: 10 # # When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every $write_inc messages to # indicate progress.
