I just started using Mutt a number of weeks ago and it took me a while
to get my .muttrc file in shape. So far, I really like Mutt..it's nice
not to remove my hands from the keyboard. I'm sure that it's not really
optimized, but for the moment it works for me....here are the lines that
I altered. I've change a few things for privacy, but you get the idea.
Note that in some place, especially the 'set' lines, you may have to
comment the corresponding line later on in the file. In order to
differentiate between changes I made and the default config, I moved all
my changes to the top of the file and placed them with a begging and
ending mark. Also, be careful, as a few of the config lines are
wrapped. For what it's worth, here you go:
set folder="~/muttmail"
set mbox="+mbox"
set confirmappend=no
set mark_old=no
set move=no
set realname="<your name here>"
set record="+sent"
set edit_headers=yes
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %F (%4l) %s"
set editor="vim '+set textwidth=72'"
set from="<your email address here>"
set tmpdir="<your mutt tmp dir here>"
