# Sample mutt configuration file
#
# Michael Velten <michael@michnet.de>

#
# Base configuration
#

# Let's determine your full name and email address:
set from="Forename Surname <your@emailaddress.domain>"

# In case that your hostname won't be detected correctly you can explicitly set it here:
set hostname=yourhostname.domain

# To avoid problems with German special characters use the charcter set ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15:
set charset=ISO-8859-1

# Here you can determine your favorite editor for writing messages:
set editor=/usr/bin/vim
#set editor=$HOME/killsig %s; /usr/bin/vim %s   # Comment out when using "killsig"

# Skip the bothering prompt for recipient and subject when replying and start immediately with writing message:
set fast_reply=yes

# Always quote when replying:
set include=yes

# Mail that belongs together should be displayed in a thread-tree:
set sort=thread

# Here you can determine your personal attribution line. This string always precedes quotet text:
set attribution="* %n <%a> wrote:\n"

# Set format of %d. You can use this in your attribution line. (See strftime(3) man page for more infos):
set date_format="%A, %d.%m.%y at %H:%M"

# The quoting character can be set individually, too:
set indent_string="> "

# Scrolling line by line in index mode is really a cool thing, isn't it:
set menu_scroll=yes

# Also very useful in pager mode (even the number of scrolling lines can be set):
set pager_context=1

# Mutt can split the screen into halves, so you can watch index + pager simultaneously:
set pager_index_lines=5

# Don't jump to next message when at bottom of current message:
set pager_stop=yes

# Here you can define the location for copies of all outgoing mail:
set record=~/outbox

# Which MTA (Mail Transport Agent) shall be used for delivering mail:
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"   # sendmail
set sendmail="/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -oem -oi"   # qmail

# Location of your .signature file:
set signature=~/.signature

# Unless your signature file already contains sigdashes "-- " (without quotation marks) you should enable this option:
set sig_dashes=yes

# Determine the location of your spool file. All incoming mail is stored there:
set spoolfile=/var/spool/mail/yourloginname   # sendmail
set spoolfile=~/Mailbox   # qmail

# All aliases are stored in this file:
set alias_file=~/.aliases

# To initialize the aliases file at startup you have to explicitly define it here:
source ~/.aliases

# In the first step we are going to weed all headers:
ignore *

# In the second step we remove the desired headers from the ignore-list:
unignore date: from: to: subject: cc: user-agent: x-mailer:

# Finally we specify the order for displaying headers:
hdr_order date: from: to: subject: cc: user-agent: x-mailer:


#
# Color configuration
#

 # First we will set the default color of foreground and background:
color normal white default

# Sets the default color of all header entries:
color hdrdefault brightblack default

# Assuming that you would like to highlight some headers:
color header brightblue default "^from:"
color header brightblue default "^subject:"
color header brightred default "^user-agent:"
color header brightred default "^x-mailer:"

# Errors will be printed in red color:
color error red default

# Sets colors for different quoting levels:
color quoted green default
color quoted1 yellow default
color quoted2 brightblue default

# Color of highlighted bar or arrow which marks the focused message:
color indicator default blue

# Here you can determine the color of thread-trees:
color tree green default

# Assigns color of headline and footline from which you get various information:
color status black red

# Highlights signature in color:
color signature brightblack default

# Displays new messages in another color:
color index red default ~N


#
# Keybinding configuration
#

 # Bindings for index mode. This is where all mail will be listed. Entries are self explanatory, I think:
bind index j next-entry
bind index k previous-entry
bind index l display-message
bind index v collapse-thread

# Pager mode will be entered when selecting a message:
bind pager l next-line
bind pager h previous-line
bind pager t display-toggle-weed

# Some other examples:
bind browser l select-entry
bind attach l view-attach
bind compose f edit-from
