Oh, and if you use emacs as your editor, grab a copy of mutt.{el,elc} (can't remember where I got it, but you'll find a link somewhere at http://www.mutt/org ). Also, for emacs, if you wish mutt to use an existing emacs session for editing messages rather than starting a new one add: (server-start nil) to ~/.emacs and create this script, /usr/local/bin/ec: #!/bin/sh ( emacsclient $* || emacs $* ) > /dev/console 2>&1 and add this to ~/.muttrc: set editor='ec' HTH > You can sort incoming mail with procmail into > different folders, and in mutt you can set up hooks which will > automatically select an appropriate From: address depending on various > criteria, such as which folder you're currently viewing.
