| That's on the command line, in a script you have to escape {}:

No. You do not. { and } are not punctuation. (Versus "(" for example,
which is.)

Have you even tested this assertion?

sort messages by deletion date/time


Hi.

Are there any possible option to sort messages in Trash folder by
date/time of deletion?
Sometimes, you already have few thousand messages in Trash, you delete
some message and you can't find it in Trash. It is possible to sort it
so to see messages deleted right now?

Try:
  :sort=mailbox-order
With mbox that should reliably sort by the order in which messages were
appended to the folder. But for IMAP or maildir I would not be so sure.

Anyone know?

Also, don't forget the (l)imit command - very handy for reducing your
view of a folder to make finding things easier.

Either 'o' (sort) or 'O' (reverse sort) then 'u" (unsort) within Mutt.
The following settings are equivalent and could be used within
folder-hooks:

set sort=mailbox-order

set sort=reverse-mailbox-order

Right.

> Have you even tested this assertion?

I could swear I did, which is why I did it like this in my shell
scripts ... but I take everything back ...

How about:

find $mailhier -type f -size 0 -delete

I believe -delete is not portable

Using mutt to send mail w/o a local box

Hi,
Since mutt does mime encoding and allows all the configuration I need for a
daemon to send mail with specific headers I was hoping to use it instead of
mpack. Problem is, since there is no local mail delivery or mail boxes on
the server, how can I configure my muttrc to allow mutt to function w/o?

Thanks,

Use built-in smtp of latest dev-mutt.
Note mutt is still no MTA or MDA.

Hi,
Thanks for the help, Postfix no this box is significantly configured
for various destinations etc, is there no way to allow mutt to simply
avoid using a mailbox, but still use the local mta?

Thanks again!

Umm, I don't see the connection there, how "use mailbox"?
Rephrase or elaborate.

And please don't Cc: me, I'm subscribed or else I couldn't have
replied at all, thanks.
