If you up for it...Mutt kicks ass. It's a bit of a bear..but I can help you if you want to use it. There are a lot of people on this list who use it as well and would be glad to help you. It does colours as you wish it to and much, much more. http://www.mutt.org Check it out. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

With Mutt changing as much as it does..somethings get broken from version to version as I have seen on the mutt-users list. Procmail has always worked for this. If you want to know how to set up procmail rules for this. I can help you with that.

Sorry about that.

Um, you need to export variables in your .bashrc as well. So export MAIL=$HOME/Mail/Incoming will work just fine. It's just that most .bashrcs that I've seen do the exporting on a different line, e.g. FOO=bar BAZ=quux export FOO BAR -tara

When I use these in my setting the mbox-hooks are not working what am doing wrong (I am using mutt Mutt 1.3.18i (2001-05-01))

set mbox=~/Mail/Inbox set copy #save a copy of mail I send

set record=+Sent

mbox-hook suse-linux-e@suse.com$ +Suse mbox-hook snort-users@lists.sourceforge.net$ +snort mbox-hook netfilter@lists.samba.org$ +netfilter

According to the documentation, mbox-hook is used to move read mail from a particular *mailbox* into a different mailbox. So it wouldn't do what you want. I use procmail myself, so someone else will have to step up and say what would work. The message-hook looks promising, but I can't say for sure. -tara
