# muttjump
#
# This script makes mail indexers (like mairix, mu or nmzmail) together with
# mutt more useful.
#
# These search engines usually create a virtual maildir containing symbolic
# links to the original mails, which can be browsed using mutt.
# It would be optimal if mutt somehow knew that the two maildir entries
# identify the same mail, but this is not that easy (mail folder
# abstraction from different formats, no tight integration of mail indexers).
#
# So if one wants to rename (for setting/clearing flags), delete or edit the
# mails, it is only possible using the original mail. This (very simple)
# script helps to jump to this message, using e.g. this macro in .muttrc:
#
# macro generic ,j "<enter-command>push <pipe-message>muttjump<enter><enter>" "jump to original message"

# one of: mairix, mu, mu-old (mu < 0.7) and nmzmail
MUTTJUMP_INDEXER=${MUTTJUMP_INDEXER:-}

# "limit" or "search" (default)
MUTTJUMP_MODE=${MUTTJUMP_MODE:-search}

# "yes" or "no"
# If this is set to "yes", muttjump will not open a new instance of
# mutt, but instead jump to the original message in a running mutt
# (which is running in a screen session).

Usage: $0 < msg

This script calls mutt, jumping to the message given in stdin.
Uses a mail search engine (currently mairix, mu and nmzmail are supported),
which has to be configured through MUTTJUMP_INDEXER variable.
