sorting on regular expression?
Andrew
:set sort=regexp subject "v[il1]aga?ra"
and have all the matched ones grouped, say, at the bottom?
any equivalent workaround?

It's certainly easier if you tell us what you finally want to
achieve. Your suggestion doesn't work literally.
You can use the "limit" action with proper patterns.
(see manual for details)
Or use filters (procmail) to split into separate folders before
mutt gets to see the msg.

Maybe you want mutt's "limit" command?
In the index view, type "l" (ell, without the quotes), followed by
~s v[il1]aga?ra
That would only display messages with the subject matching your regexp.
See section 4.2 (Patterns) in the mutt manual for more.

Fantastic. This is what i was looking for -- to be able to isolate the
matching messages (I don't need multi-level sorting with regexp's ...
for now, at least :-))
Now I'll delve deeper into mutt's regexp specifics, in the hope that
they are reasonably robust (i don't expect the full power of, say,
Perl's regexp's, but would like some basic stuff like alpha vs. numeric
distinction, word boundary, negated sets (in the midst of non-negated
("affirmed"?) subpatterns) )

I read through this section -- beyond it there does not seem to be any
more detail about mutt's re's - or am i wrong? - i'll continue to
research
thank you!
