When I send email to <us...@domain.net> or press 's' to save, the email
is saved to file 'user'. Is it possible to save it to file
'domain.net'?

Reason is... when I'm corresponding with a company, I would like all
correspondences in one file.

Thank Sven. This would require a line for each company, no? For
example, if I'm talking with <jo...@abc.com> and <ja...@xyz.com>, then
I would need
fcc-hook abc.com +abc.com
fcc-hook xyz.com +xyz.com

true. however, there is no option for what you want.

I'll look into the source code, if this bugs me enough.

What would you recommend? Pressing a key to toggle between 'user' part
and 'domain' part? Or, using permanent option in ~/.muttrc, something
like
force_domain_name
save_domain_name
...

well, sure these names come to mind
in accordance with existing names.
but i think there are too many
specific variables already.

i'd rather use some field
name like "%d" for domain.

anyway, i still think that the naming concept
behind the variables in mutt really sucks.
most names were taken from other MUAs
but if you don't know them then you'll
have a hard time understanding them.

i think i still want an internal language
which simply allow all the power you can get.
then it should be as simple as

hook_folder {
default: ...
INBOX: ...
lists: ...
}

hook_save {
default: folder.save_to = sender_address.domain
lists: ...
}

ah, well..

Sven [still dreaming]
