Notes

  • @NeoMutt_Org - Follow us on Twitter!
  • Six features are now “always built” as part of NeoMutt: sidebar, imap, pop, smtp, compressed, nntp. These features have no build dependencies and don’t add much to the size.
  • New option $history_remove_dups option to remove dups from history ring
  • New index format strings: %zs %zc %zt

Key Bindings

With the config, below, the ‘g’ mapping will not be usable.

bind index g  group-reply
bind index gg first-entry

This is a limitation of Mutt. NeoMutt now warns you if you overwrite key bindings. To fix the warning, first disable the mapping:

bind index g  noop
bind index gg first-entry

Thanks
