You mean like that?

Generally that's accomplished by simply replying to a message. How 
this happens is affected by several configuration settings. The first 
is $attribution, which defines the line at the top:

    On Friday, September  1 at 09:40 AM, quoth Jz:

You set this by adding a line to your ~/.muttrc file that looks like 
this:

    set attribution="On %d, quoth %n:"

Each quoted line above is quoted by prepending a "> " in front of it. 
This is defined by $indent_string, like so:

    set indent_string="> "

Finally, mutt will only use $indent_string to quote the message if the 
$include setting is set properly. $include is a "quad-option", which 
means it can have one of four values: yes, no, ask-yes, and ask-no. If 
mutt isn't including the test in your replies, then it's probably set 
to "no" (or it's asking and you're telling it "no"). The default, 
which is what I usually use, is ask-yes. Set it like so:

That's far more proper, of course!

Cordially, Ismael

index_format %l


I have %l in the index_format string (I'm just using the default).

I notice that mosts messages have (   0) as the number of lines, but now
and then one will have a non-zero number. The ones that show zero actually
have many lines of text. How can I get the to show non-zero numbers?

thanks,
Bob

Nice, didn't know that one.

I remapped the keys, and now it's working. Still a strange problem with
my already existing macro <ESC>A which before reloaded my muttrc, but
now opens/closes the sidebar. Seems I need some more remapping.

Thanks for your explanation.

Re: weird qp encoding?

Hello Will,

    That's probably the Latin-1 U+00A0 non-breaking space " ". For me
this appears as a normal space, both in Mutt and in $editor. Can you
describe and quote " " back?

> when I edit the message in vim, I get something that looks like:

    Do you use a different font in Vim? Or have some setting to
distinguish real spaces from other spacings?

Bye!	Alain.

You're using maildir, right? Maildir does not need Lines: or
Content-Length: header so the info is just not there.
You might want to use %c instead. I find the size more informative
anyways, especially for messages with attachments.
If you insist on a lines count and use procmail you can easily add the
Lines: header.

:0 Bfh
* H ?? !^Lines:
* -1^0
*  1^1 ^.*$
| formail -A "Lines: $="

HTH,

Michael

I am using maildir. I changed to %c and will try that for a while.
I also added the lines to .procmailrc to try that.

or the following so it only operates on messages *missing* the 'Lines:'
header:

:0
* ! ^Lines:
{
  :0B
  * 1^1 ^.*$
  { }
  LINES = $=

  :0 fhw
  | formail -a "Lines: $LINES"
}

Folder keeps showing new messages

Hi guys,

I'm using Mutt with IMAP. When I start Mutt, I can see which folders
have new messages. When I enter a folder with new messages, and leave it
without reading any, the new message counter is reset to zero (when I
look in the folder list). This is fine.  However, when I close and
restart Mutt, the counter is back to the number of unread messages. I do
not want this behaviour, en keep the unread message to zero.

How can I avoid this ?

Thanks.  
Dick
