mutt config updates

Someone documented their Mutt configuration. That configuration is a gold mine of stuff I wanted to do, but wasn’t quite sure about and didn’t have the free time to experiment with. Despite that we’re destined to be mortal enemies (they show how to make emacs the default editor! in mutt?! saveages…) there’s a lot of useful stuff in their config.

Mutt configuration

The first improvement

I’m already using Pass for my passwords, and despite that it’s only good for localhost, I didn’t like having my clear text passwords in the muttrc file. First step is adding the bridge password to pass:

pass insert pm-bridge

And then replacing the smtp_pass and imap_pass:

set smtp_pass = `pass pm-bridge`
set imap_pass = `pass pm-bridge`

And no more passwords in my muttrc.

The second improvement

I like sorting my sent items by date sent and showing my inbox as threads, but I didn’t know about folder hooks, so I was smashing keys to re-sort each time.

folder-hook =INBOX 'set sort=date-sent'
folder-hook =INBOX 'set sort=threads'
folder-hook =Sent 'set sort=reverse-date-sent'

Others

It was enough of an inspiration to look at the manual. I haven’t any short config snippets to share, but I am experimenting with multi part encoding and macros again because it would be nice to send certain formats to certain clients.
