Following Steve Kemp’s blog, I’ve made a small but very cool improvement to my mutt setup.

Here are the new lines:

    macro index     .i      "l((~N|~O|~F)!~D)|(~d<1w!~Q)\n"
    macro index     .n      "l~N\n"
    macro index     .o      "l(~N|~O)\n"
    macro index     .a      "l~A\n"
    macro index     .t      "l~d<1d\n"
    macro index     .y      "l~d<2d ~d>1d\n"

    folder-hook     .       push '.i'

I recently added an outgoing mail filter to capture the email addresses of people I write email to. This saves me time on adding them to my address book manually.

I ran into Mark’s Mutt Fan and Tip page and was pleased by the description of lbdb. I then found a way to write an outgoing filter to capture email addresses as I send mail… I wasn’t really interested in lbdb holding the forged SPAM addresses.
