#!/bin/bash # written by Johannes Weißl # 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 "push muttjump" "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).
