I added the single quotes and all is well. The Mutt info is correct in showing their
default setting without the single quotes around it as their example is not prefaced by
folder-hook. The Debian list now shows up like it used to, before I added the list to one
described as subscribed. Unfortunately, my Windowmaker list is not behaving the same way. All the
from lines show up as Windowmaker, instead of the actual user. Here is the hook for that folder
folder-hook in-l-wmuser 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b%d} \
%-15.15n %(4l) %s"'
The %-15.15n option should handle this, but it doesn't. I would've put both lists after
the same folder-hook, but I was not able to get both recognized.
folder-hook in-l-wmuser in-l-debian-user 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b%d} \
%-15.15n %(4l) %s"'
I tried with [] {} () and ''. No luck. Any suggestions to help me complete the perfect
.muttrc?
