It ## does not remove any type matching the pattern. ## ## attachments +A */.* ## attachments +A image/jpeg ## unattachments +A */.* ## ## This leaves "attached" image/jpeg files on the allowed attachments ## list. It does not remove all items, as you might expect, because the ## second */.* is not a matching expression at this time. ## ## Remember: "unattachments" only undoes what "attachments" has done! ## It does not trigger any matching on actual messages. ## Qualify any MIME part with an "attachment" disposition, EXCEPT for ## text/x-vcard and application/pgp parts. (PGP parts are already known ## to mutt, and can be searched for with ~g, ~G, and ~k.) ## ## I've added x-pkcs7 to this, since it functions (for S/MIME) ## analogously to PGP signature attachments. S/MIME isn't supported ## in a stock mutt build, but we can still treat it specially here. ## attachments +A */.* attachments -A text/x-vcard application/pgp.* attachments -A application/x-pkcs7-.* ## Discount all MIME parts with an "inline" disposition, unless they're ## text/plain. (Why inline a text/plain part unless it's external to the ## message flow?) ## attachments +I text/plain ## These two lines make Mutt qualify MIME containers. (So, for example, ## a message/rfc822 forward will count as an attachment.) The first ## line is unnecessary if you already have "attach-allow */.*", of ## course. These are off by default! The MIME elements contained ## within a message/* or multipart/* are still examined, even if the ## containers themselves don't qualify. ## #attachments +A message/.* multipart/.* #attachments +I message/.* multipart/.* ## You probably don't really care to know about deleted attachments. attachments -A message/external-body attachments -I message/external-body ## ## More settings ## # set abort_nosubject=ask-yes # # Name: abort_nosubject # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # # If set to yes, when composing messages and no subject is given # at the subject prompt, composition will be aborted.

Note that this may override # your color choices, and even present a security problem, since a # message could include a line like # [-- PGP output follows ... # # and give it the same color as your attachment color (see also # $crypt_timestamp). # # # set arrow_cursor=no # # Name: arrow_cursor # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, an arrow (``->'') will be used to indicate the current entry # in menus instead of highlighting the whole line. On slow network or modem # links this will make response faster because there is less that has to # be redrawn on the screen when moving to the next or previous entries # in the menu. # # # set ascii_chars=no # # Name: ascii_chars # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If set, Mutt will use plain ASCII characters when displaying thread # and attachment trees, instead of the default ACS characters. # # # set askbcc=no # # Name: askbcc # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If set, Mutt will prompt you for blind-carbon-copy (Bcc) recipients # before editing an outgoing message. # # # set askcc=no # # Name: askcc # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If set, Mutt will prompt you for carbon-copy (Cc) recipients before # editing the body of an outgoing message. # # # set assumed_charset="" # # Name: assumed_charset # Type: string # Default: "" # # # This variable is a colon-separated list of character encoding # schemes for messages without character encoding indication. # Header field values and message body content without character encoding # indication would be assumed that they are written in one of this list. # By default, all the header fields and message body without any charset # indication are assumed to be in ``us-ascii''. # # For example, Japanese users might prefer this: # set assumed_charset="iso-2022-jp:euc-jp:shift_jis:utf-8" # # However, only the first content is valid for the message body. # # # set attach_charset="" # # Name: attach_charset # Type: string # Default: "" # # # This variable is a colon-separated list of character encoding # schemes for text file attachments. Mutt uses this setting to guess # which encoding files being attached are encoded in to convert them to # a proper character set given in $send_charset. # # If unset, the value of $charset will be used instead. # For example, the following configuration would work for Japanese # text handling: # set attach_charset="iso-2022-jp:euc-jp:shift_jis:utf-8" # # Note: for Japanese users, ``iso-2022-*'' must be put at the head # of the value as shown above if included. # # # set attach_format="%u%D%I %t%4n %T%.40d%> [%.7m/%.10M, %.6e%?C?, %C?, %s] " # # Name: attach_format # Type: string # Default: "%u%D%I %t%4n %T%.40d%> [%.7m/%.10M, %.6e%?C?, %C?, %s] " # # # This variable describes the format of the ``attachment'' menu.

When # unset, you must first use the <tag-prefix> function (bound to ``;'' # by default) to make the next function apply to all tagged messages. # # # set autoedit=no # # Name: autoedit # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set along with $edit_headers, Mutt will skip the initial # send-menu (prompting for subject and recipients) and allow you to # immediately begin editing the body of your # message. The send-menu may still be accessed once you have finished # editing the body of your message. # # Note: when this option is set, you cannot use send-hooks that depend # on the recipients when composing a new (non-reply) message, as the initial # list of recipients is empty. # # Also see $fast_reply. # # # set beep=yes # # Name: beep # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When this variable is set, mutt will beep when an error occurs. # # # set beep_new=no # # Name: beep_new # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When this variable is set, mutt will beep whenever it prints a message # notifying you of new mail. This is independent of the setting of the # $beep variable. # # # set bounce=ask-yes # # Name: bounce # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # # Controls whether you will be asked to confirm bouncing messages. # If set to yes you don't get asked if you want to bounce a # message. Setting this variable to no is not generally useful, # and thus not recommended, because you are unable to bounce messages. # # # set bounce_delivered=yes # # Name: bounce_delivered # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When this variable is set, mutt will include Delivered-To headers when # bouncing messages. Postfix users may wish to unset this variable. # # # set braille_friendly=no # # Name: braille_friendly # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When this variable is set, mutt will place the cursor at the beginning # of the current line in menus, even when the $arrow_cursor variable # is unset, making it easier for blind persons using Braille displays to # follow these menus. The option is unset by default because many # visual terminals don't permit making the cursor invisible. # # # set certificate_file="~/.mutt_certificates" # # Name: certificate_file # Type: path # Default: "~/.mutt_certificates" # # # This variable specifies the file where the certificates you trust # are saved. When an unknown certificate is encountered, you are asked # if you accept it or not. If you accept it, the certificate can also # be saved in this file and further connections are automatically # accepted. # # You can also manually add CA certificates in this file. Any server # certificate that is signed with one of these CA certificates is # also automatically accepted. # # Example: # set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates # # # set charset="" # # Name: charset # Type: string # Default: "" # # # Character set your terminal uses to display and enter textual data. # It is also the fallback for $send_charset. # # Upon startup Mutt tries to derive this value from environment variables # such as $LC_CTYPE or $LANG. # # Note: It should only be set in case Mutt isn't able to determine the # character set used correctly. # # # set check_mbox_size=no # # Name: check_mbox_size # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When this variable is set, mutt will use file size attribute instead of # access time when checking for new mail in mbox and mmdf folders. # # This variable is unset by default and should only be enabled when # new mail detection for these folder types is unreliable or doesn't work. # # Note that enabling this variable should happen before any ``mailboxes'' # directives occur in configuration files regarding mbox or mmdf folders # because mutt needs to determine the initial new mail status of such a # mailbox by performing a fast mailbox scan when it is defined. # Afterwards the new mail status is tracked by file size changes. # # # set check_new=yes # # Name: check_new # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Note: this option only affects maildir and MH style # mailboxes. # # When set, Mutt will check for new mail delivered while the # mailbox is open. Especially with MH mailboxes, this operation can # take quite some time since it involves scanning the directory and # checking each file to see if it has already been looked at. If # this variable is unset, no check for new mail is performed # while the mailbox is open. # # # set collapse_unread=yes # # Name: collapse_unread # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When unset, Mutt will not collapse a thread if it contains any # unread messages. # # # set compose_format="-- Mutt: Compose [Approx. msg size: %l Atts: %a]%>-" # # Name: compose_format # Type: string # Default: "-- Mutt: Compose [Approx. msg size: %l Atts: %a]%>-" # # # Controls the format of the status line displayed in the ``compose'' # menu.

This is probably only useful in # connection to the ``send-hook'' command. It can be overridden # by use of the pgp menu, when encryption is not required or # signing is requested as well. If $smime_is_default is set, # then OpenSSL is used instead to create S/MIME messages and # settings can be overridden by use of the smime menu instead. # (Crypto only) # # # set crypt_autopgp=yes # # Name: crypt_autopgp # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # This variable controls whether or not mutt may automatically enable # PGP encryption/signing for messages. See also $crypt_autoencrypt, # $crypt_replyencrypt, # $crypt_autosign, $crypt_replysign and $smime_is_default. # # # set crypt_autosign=no # # Name: crypt_autosign # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # Setting this variable will cause Mutt to always attempt to # cryptographically sign outgoing messages.

This makes sense in combination with # $crypt_replyencrypt, because it allows you to sign all # messages which are automatically encrypted. This works around # the problem noted in $crypt_replysign, that mutt is not able # to find out whether an encrypted message is also signed. # (Crypto only) # # # set crypt_timestamp=yes # # Name: crypt_timestamp # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # If set, mutt will include a time stamp in the lines surrounding # PGP or S/MIME output, so spoofing such lines is more difficult. # If you are using colors to mark these lines, and rely on these, # you may unset this setting. # (Crypto only) # # # set crypt_use_gpgme=no # # Name: crypt_use_gpgme # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This variable controls the use of the GPGME-enabled crypto backends. # If it is set and Mutt was built with gpgme support, the gpgme code for # S/MIME and PGP will be used instead of the classic code. Note that # you need to set this option in .muttrc; it won't have any effect when # used interactively. # # # set crypt_use_pka=no # # Name: crypt_use_pka # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # Controls whether mutt uses PKA # (see http://www.g10code.de/docs/pka-intro.de.pdf) during signature # verification (only supported by the GPGME backend). # # # set crypt_verify_sig=yes # # Name: crypt_verify_sig # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # # If ``yes'', always attempt to verify PGP or S/MIME signatures. # If ``ask-*'', ask whether or not to verify the signature. # If ``no'', never attempt to verify cryptographic signatures. # (Crypto only) # # # set date_format="!%a, %b %d, %Y at %I:%M:%S%p %Z" # # Name: date_format # Type: string # Default: "!%a, %b %d, %Y at %I:%M:%S%p %Z" # # # This variable controls the format of the date printed by the ``%d'' # sequence in $index_format. This is passed to the strftime(3) # function to process the date, see the man page for the proper syntax. # # Unless the first character in the string is a bang (``!''), the month # and week day names are expanded according to the locale specified in # the variable $locale. If the first character in the string is a # bang, the bang is discarded, and the month and week day names in the # rest of the string are expanded in the C locale (that is in US # English). # # # set default_hook="~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)" # # Name: default_hook # Type: string # Default: "~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)" # # # This variable controls how ``message-hook'', ``reply-hook'', ``send-hook'', # ``send2-hook'', ``save-hook'', and ``fcc-hook'' will # be interpreted if they are specified with only a simple regexp, # instead of a matching pattern. The hooks are expanded when they are # declared, so a hook will be interpreted according to the value of this # variable at the time the hook is declared. # # The default value matches # if the message is either from a user matching the regular expression # given, or if it is from you (if the from address matches # ``alternates'') and is to or cc'ed to a user matching the given # regular expression. # # # set delete=ask-yes # # Name: delete # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # # Controls whether or not messages are really deleted when closing or # synchronizing a mailbox. If set to yes, messages marked for # deleting will automatically be purged without prompting.

This applies when you either explicitly delete a message, # or when you save it to another folder. # # # set digest_collapse=yes # # Name: digest_collapse # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # If this option is set, mutt's received-attachments menu will not show the subparts of # individual messages in a multipart/digest. To see these subparts, press ``v'' on that menu. # # # set display_filter="" # # Name: display_filter # Type: path # Default: "" # # # When set, specifies a command used to filter messages. When a message # is viewed it is passed as standard input to $display_filter, and the # filtered message is read from the standard output. # # # set dsn_notify="" # # Name: dsn_notify # Type: string # Default: "" # # # This variable sets the request for when notification is returned. The # string consists of a comma separated list (no spaces!) of one or more # of the following: never, to never request notification, # failure, to request notification on transmission failure, # delay, to be notified of message delays, success, to be # notified of successful transmission. # # Example: # set dsn_notify="failure,delay" # # Note: when using $sendmail for delivery, you should not enable # this unless you are either using Sendmail 8.8.x or greater or a MTA # providing a sendmail(1)-compatible interface supporting the -N option # for DSN. For SMTP delivery, DSN support is auto-detected so that it # depends on the server whether DSN will be used or not. # # # set dsn_return="" # # Name: dsn_return # Type: string # Default: "" # # # This variable controls how much of your message is returned in DSN # messages. It may be set to either hdrs to return just the # message header, or full to return the full message. # # Example: # set dsn_return=hdrs # # Note: when using $sendmail for delivery, you should not enable # this unless you are either using Sendmail 8.8.x or greater or a MTA # providing a sendmail(1)-compatible interface supporting the -R option # for DSN. For SMTP delivery, DSN support is auto-detected so that it # depends on the server whether DSN will be used or not. # # # set duplicate_threads=yes # # Name: duplicate_threads # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # This variable controls whether mutt, when $sort is set to threads, threads # messages with the same Message-Id together. If it is set, it will indicate # that it thinks they are duplicates of each other with an equals sign # in the thread tree. # # # set edit_headers=no # # Name: edit_headers # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This option allows you to edit the header of your outgoing messages # along with the body of your message. # # Note that changes made to the References: and Date: headers are # ignored for interoperability reasons. # # # set editor="" # # Name: editor # Type: path # Default: "" # # # This variable specifies which editor is used by mutt. # It defaults to the value of the $VISUAL, or $EDITOR, environment # variable, or to the string ``vi'' if neither of those are set. # # # set encode_from=no # # Name: encode_from # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will quoted-printable encode messages when # they contain the string ``From '' (note the trailing space) in the beginning of a line. # This is useful to avoid the tampering certain mail delivery and transport # agents tend to do with messages (in order to prevent tools from # misinterpreting the line as a mbox message separator). # # # set envelope_from_address="" # # Name: envelope_from_address # Type: e-mail address # Default: "" # # # Manually sets the envelope sender for outgoing messages. # This value is ignored if $use_envelope_from is unset. # # # set escape="~" # # Name: escape # Type: string # Default: "~" # # # Escape character to use for functions in the built-in editor. # # # set fast_reply=no # # Name: fast_reply # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, the initial prompt for recipients and subject are skipped # when replying to messages, and the initial prompt for subject is # skipped when forwarding messages. # # Note: this variable has no effect when the $autoedit # variable is set. # # # set fcc_attach=yes # # Name: fcc_attach # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # # This variable controls whether or not attachments on outgoing messages # are saved along with the main body of your message. # # # set fcc_clear=no # # Name: fcc_clear # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When this variable is set, FCCs will be stored unencrypted and # unsigned, even when the actual message is encrypted and/or # signed. # (PGP only) # # # set folder="~/Mail" # # Name: folder # Type: path # Default: "~/Mail" # # # Specifies the default location of your mailboxes.

When set, Mutt will generate this # field when you are replying to a known mailing list, specified with # the ``subscribe'' or ``lists'' commands. # # This field has two purposes. First, preventing you from # receiving duplicate copies of replies to messages which you send # to mailing lists, and second, ensuring that you do get a reply # separately for any messages sent to known lists to which you are # not subscribed. # # The header will contain only the list's address # for subscribed lists, and both the list address and your own # email address for unsubscribed lists. Without this header, a # group reply to your message sent to a subscribed list will be # sent to both the list and your address, resulting in two copies # of the same email for you. # # # set force_name=no # # Name: force_name # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This variable is similar to $save_name, except that Mutt will # store a copy of your outgoing message by the username of the address # you are sending to even if that mailbox does not exist. # # Also see the $record variable. # # # set forward_decode=yes # # Name: forward_decode # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls the decoding of complex MIME messages into text/plain when # forwarding a message.

If there is no # domain part returned, Mutt will look for a ``domain'' or ``search'' # line in /etc/resolv.conf to determine the domain.

If it's # unset (the default) mutt will try all available methods, # in order from most-secure to least-secure. # # Example: # set imap_authenticators="gssapi:cram-md5:login" # # Note: Mutt will only fall back to other authentication methods if # the previous methods are unavailable. If a method is available but # authentication fails, mutt will not connect to the IMAP server. # # # set imap_check_subscribed=no # # Name: imap_check_subscribed # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will fetch the set of subscribed folders from # your server on connection, and add them to the set of mailboxes # it polls for new mail just as if you had issued individual ``mailboxes'' # commands. # # # set imap_delim_chars="/." # # Name: imap_delim_chars # Type: string # Default: "/." # # # This contains the list of characters which you would like to treat # as folder separators for displaying IMAP paths.

Some servers # (dovecot was the inspiration for this option) react badly # to mutt's implementation. If your connection seems to freeze # up periodically, try unsetting this. # # # set imap_keepalive=900 # # Name: imap_keepalive # Type: number # Default: 900 # # # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt # will wait before polling open IMAP connections, to prevent the server # from closing them before mutt has finished with them. The default is # well within the RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before # a server is allowed to do this, but in practice the RFC does get # violated every now and then. Reduce this number if you find yourself # getting disconnected from your IMAP server due to inactivity. # # # set imap_list_subscribed=no # # Name: imap_list_subscribed # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This variable configures whether IMAP folder browsing will look for # only subscribed folders or all folders.

This is generally a good thing, # but can make closing an IMAP folder somewhat slower. This option # exists to appease speed freaks. # # # set imap_pipeline_depth=15 # # Name: imap_pipeline_depth # Type: number # Default: 15 # # # Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they # are sent to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time # mutt must wait for the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much # more responsive.

If unset, no # addresses will be qualified. # # # set use_envelope_from=no # # Name: use_envelope_from # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will set the envelope sender of the message. # If $envelope_from_address is set, it will be used as the sender # address. If unset, mutt will attempt to derive the sender from the # ``From:'' header. # # Note that this information is passed to sendmail command using the # -f command line switch. Therefore setting this option is not useful # if the $sendmail variable already contains -f or if the # executable pointed to by $sendmail doesn't support the -f switch. # # # set use_from=yes # # Name: use_from # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, Mutt will generate the ``From:'' header field when # sending messages. If unset, no ``From:'' header field will be # generated unless the user explicitly sets one using the ``my_hdr'' # command. # # # set use_idn=yes # # Name: use_idn # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, Mutt will show you international domain names decoded. # Note: You can use IDNs for addresses even if this is unset. # This variable only affects decoding. # # # set use_ipv6=yes # # Name: use_ipv6 # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, Mutt will look for IPv6 addresses of hosts it tries to # contact. If this option is unset, Mutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses. # Normally, the default should work. # # # set user_agent=yes # # Name: user_agent # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, mutt will add a ``User-Agent:'' header to outgoing # messages, indicating which version of mutt was used for composing # them. # # # set visual="" # # Name: visual # Type: path # Default: "" # # # Specifies the visual editor to invoke when the ``~v'' command is # given in the built-in editor. # # # set wait_key=yes # # Name: wait_key # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after an external command # has been invoked by these functions: <shell-escape>, # <pipe-message>, <pipe-entry>, <print-message>, # and <print-entry> commands. # # It is also used when viewing attachments with ``auto_view'', provided # that the corresponding mailcap entry has a needsterminal flag, # and the external program is interactive. # # When set, Mutt will always ask for a key. When unset, Mutt will wait # for a key only if the external command returned a non-zero status. # # # set weed=yes # # Name: weed # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, mutt will weed headers when displaying, forwarding, # printing, or replying to messages. # # # set wrap=0 # # Name: wrap # Type: number # Default: 0 # # # When set to a positive value, mutt will wrap text at $wrap characters. # When set to a negative value, mutt will wrap text so that there are $wrap # characters of empty space on the right side of the terminal. Setting it # to zero makes mutt wrap at the terminal width. # # # set wrap_headers=78 # # Name: wrap_headers # Type: number # Default: 78 # # # This option specifies the number of characters to use for wrapping # an outgoing message's headers. Allowed values are between 78 and 998 # inclusive. # # Note: This option usually shouldn't be changed. RFC5233 # recommends a line length of 78 (the default), so please only change # this setting when you know what you're doing. # # # set wrap_search=yes # # Name: wrap_search # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls whether searches wrap around the end. # # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When # unset, incremental searches will not wrap. # # # set wrapmargin=0 # # Name: wrapmargin # Type: number # Default: 0 # # # (DEPRECATED) Equivalent to setting $wrap with a negative value. # # # set write_bcc=yes # # Name: write_bcc # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls whether mutt writes out the ``Bcc:'' header when preparing # messages to be sent. Exim users may wish to unset this. If mutt # is set to deliver directly via SMTP (see $smtp_url), this # option does nothing: mutt will never write out the ``Bcc:'' header # in this case. # # # set write_inc=10 # # Name: write_inc # Type: number # Default: 10 # # # When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every # $write_inc messages to indicate progress. If set to 0, only a # single message will be displayed before writing a mailbox. # # Also see the $read_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the # ``tuning'' section of the manual for performance considerations. # # # -*-muttrc-*- # # Command formats for gpg. # # This version uses gpg-2comp from # http://70t.de/download/gpg-2comp.tar.gz # # $Id$ # # %p The empty string when no passphrase is needed, # the string "PGPPASSFD=0" if one is needed. # # This is mostly used in conditional % sequences. # # %f Most PGP commands operate on a single file or a file # containing a message. %f expands to this file's name. # # %s When verifying signatures, there is another temporary file # containing the detached signature. %s expands to this # file's name. # # %a In "signing" contexts, this expands to the value of the # configuration variable $pgp_sign_as.
