save format

sorry if this is a re-post...

i've got a question that no sort of searching the mailing
list archives or the Mutt documentation has led me to find
the answer to...of course I've been wrong on many occasions :)

ok, so I've been a long time Mutt user and have always had
a want to be able to save messages a certain way.

by default, when I got to save a message, it tries to save
it as the "name" (i.e. the left half of the email address,
joe from joe <at> abc.com).

I tried setting the "save_address" option and that got me
closer to what I wanted, but since I use Cyrus IMAP, the '.'
in the email addresses give it problems.

can I set the format of the folder to which Mutt tries to
save a message?  or can Mutt save a message according to
an alias that exists?

thanks in advance all,
ryanc

saving attachments problem

When viewing the MIME attachments in a message, I can select an
attachment whose default filename contains a space character and
save it without problems.  However, if I decide to not use the
default filename and try to enter something else that happens to
contain spaces, Mutt prevents me from doing so.  Bug or feature?

Automatically adjusting the From address

Hello list,

I have 3 incoming mailboxes, one for each email address I use. I would like
the "From" field to be generated automatically when I compose or reply
to an email according to the mailbox that is currently open.

For example: if I have box "david69 <at> charter.net" open and I decide to
compose a new email or reply, I would like the From field to automatically
become "From: david69 <at> charter.net".

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Best,

David

Two manipulations I do a lot

There are few operations which I would love to be
able to do more smoothly using mutt. I wonder how
people are doing them, because I find the way I do
them rather clunky.

1. I receive a message from X, with Y's address in
   the message body or in the Cc or To fields. If
   I want to send Y a message, I have to:  
      - using the mouse, copy Y's address 
        from the message body or header
      - quit viewing the current message
      - invoke the "mail" function (default 'm')
      - paste Y's address and start editing

   I would love to be able to just press one key
   in pager mode and be presented with a list of
   addresses found in the *whole* header *and* the
   body of the message (the way urlview does it)
   and be able to just pick one or many addresses
   and immediately be editing a new messge to that
   recipient.

2. (a little more tricky I think) While replying
   to a message, I want to quote a passage from
   another message in my mailbox. Currently I need
   to: 

   - postpone the message I am editing
   - go find the message containing the 
     desired passage

Have you tried using urlview for this?  (I don't know off-hand
whether it would need a modification to do this.)

while in the pager, type the '?' (question mark) key and search '/'
for reply.

With all due respect, you would really benefit from reading the
questions you respond before dismissing them with an arrogant
"RTFM".
