"send-hook" allows you to set options in mutt only when you need them. For example, I use them to change my sig depending on who I'm sending a message to. # set default sig send-hook . "set signature=~/.signature" # simple sig for people who know me send-hook '~t person1' 'set signature=~/.altsig' send-hook '~t person2' 'set signature=~/.altsig' send-hook '~t person3' 'set signature=~/.altsig' There are hooks for all kinds of other things as well (e.g. hooks for when you save a message). Although I used used Pine in my early Unix days, mutt is just so much more configurable, that I can't help but use it. Anyway, mutt good. :) Gabe -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gabe Turner gabe at msi.umn.edu SGI Origin Systems Administrator, University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute for Digital Simulation and Advanced Computation www.msi.umn.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------
