GUI Options#
$beep#
- Description:
Make a noise when an error occurs
- Type:
- Default:
set beep = yes
When this option is set, NeoMutt will beep when an error occurs.
$collapse_flagged#
- Description:
Prevent the collapse of threads with flagged emails
- Type:
- Default:
set collapse_flagged = yes
When unset, NeoMutt will not collapse a thread if it contains any flagged messages.
$collapse_unread#
- Description:
Prevent the collapse of threads with unread emails
- Type:
- Default:
set collapse_unread = yes
When unset, NeoMutt will not collapse a thread if it contains any unread messages.
$duplicate_threads#
- Description:
Highlight messages with duplicated message IDs
- Type:
- Default:
set duplicate_threads = yes
Control whether NeoMutt, when $sort is set to threads, threads messages with the same Message-ID: together.
If it is set, it will indicate that it thinks they are duplicates of each other with an equals sign in the thread tree.
$hide_limited#
- Description:
Don’t indicate hidden messages, in the thread tree
- Type:
- Default:
set hide_limited = no
When set, NeoMutt will not show the presence of messages that are hidden by limiting, in the thread tree.
$hide_missing#
- Description:
Don’t indicate missing messages, in the thread tree
- Type:
- Default:
set hide_missing = yes
When set, NeoMutt will not show the presence of missing messages in the thread tree.
$hide_thread_subject#
- Description:
Hide subjects that are similar to that of the parent message
- Type:
- Default:
set hide_thread_subject = yes
When set, NeoMutt will not show the subject of messages in the thread tree that have the same subject as their parent or closest previously displayed sibling.
$hide_top_limited#
- Description:
Don’t indicate hidden top message, in the thread tree
- Type:
- Default:
set hide_top_limited = no
When set, NeoMutt will not show the presence of messages that are hidden by limiting, at the top of threads in the thread tree.
Note
When $hide_limited is set, this option will have no effect
$hide_top_missing#
- Description:
Don’t indicate missing top message, in the thread tree
- Type:
- Default:
set hide_top_missing = yes
When set, NeoMutt will not show the presence of missing messages at the top of threads in the thread tree.
Note
When $hide_missing is set, this option will have no effect
$narrow_tree#
- Description:
Draw a narrower thread tree in the index
- Type:
- Default:
set narrow_tree = no
When set, make the thread tree narrower, allowing deeper threads to fit on the screen.
$sort_re#
- Description:
Whether
$reply_regexmust be matched when not$strict_threads- Type:
- Default:
set sort_re = yes
Only useful when sorting by threads with $strict_threads unset.
In that case, it changes the heuristic NeoMutt uses to thread messages by subject.
With $sort_re set, NeoMutt will only attach a message as the child of another message by subject if the subject of the child message starts with a substring matching the setting of $reply_regex.
With $sort_re unset, NeoMutt will attach the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the non-$reply_regex parts of both messages are identical.
$strict_threads#
- Description:
Thread messages using
In-Reply-ToandReferencesheaders- Type:
- Default:
set strict_threads = no
If set, threading will only make use of the In-Reply-To: and References: fields when you $sort by message threads.
By default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in “pseudo threads”.
This may not always be desirable, such as in a personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with the subjects like “hi” which will get grouped together.
See also
$sort_re for a less drastic way of controlling this behavior
$thread_received#
- Description:
Sort threaded messages by their received date
- Type:
- Default:
set thread_received = no
If $strict_threads is unset, then messages may also be grouped by subject.
Unlike threading by In-Reply-To: and References: header, grouping by subject does not imply a parent-child relation between two messages.
To determine the ancestry between messages grouped by subject, NeoMutt uses their date: only newer messages can be descendants of older ones.
When $thread_received is set, NeoMutt uses the date received rather than the date sent when comparing messages for the date.
