I'm no mutt expert, but I keep my configs here for public copying/use: http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/configs/mutt/ Obviously you should not just copy my config in wholesale or things will break badly. ;-) But you can look through it for ideas. If you don't know what a particular command means, look at the mutt docs in /usr/share/doc/mutt-* on your machine, or GIYF. Hope this is helpful to you! -- Paul W.
