Yep ;-) And I just found out I didn't had to use mail2alias.py for that to
work... I've read all the mutt manual yesterday and I'm quite sure that
"action" is not documented there :(
Anyway, that is still not what I wanted. For instance, what I get when I
press "a" with and e-mail that has this header
-From: "Diogo Quintela (EF)" <dquintela@ef.pt>
-To: <raquelucha_rodrigues@hotmail.com>, <brunobferreira@netcabo.pt>,...
is that "a" allows me to get "dquintela@ef.pt", but what I wanted was that
it allowed me to select from a list, just like pine allows...
For instance, it could do like this:
"
Multiple e-mail addresses found. Please choose the one you want:
1-dquintela@ef.pt
2-raquelucha_rodrigues@hotmail.com
3-brunobferreira@netcabo.pt
"
For instance, what if someone tells you, in a mail:
" From: aguy@somewhere.com
Hi! About your problem, please mail someone@somemail.com ! "
How do you take that "someone@somemail.com" address? write it down in a
paper, exit mutt, add alias to file, enter mutt? (or some other
combination of these actions, whatever)
