hotkey macro to move emails to spam folder.

[m...@benjaminarai.com]

Hi,

I want to make a macro that when I hit a key when a email is selected
in the index it will automatically move the email from the the current
folder to the "Spam" folder. Currently I have to select the email,
copy the email to the Spam directory, and finally delete the email in
the current folder. A macro that could do these three things would be
very helpful.

Does anybody know of a macro that does this? I would write it myself
but I cannot find any decent examples.

To answer my own question:

folder-hook . 'macro pager S "<save-message>=.Trash \r" "move message
to trash"'
folder-hook . 'macro index S "<save-message>=.Trash \r" "move message
to trash"'
folder-hook +Trash bind index d delete-message

This works for me. I am using Maildir, result may vary depending on
mail store.

I just can't see anyone who uses Mutt choosing to use google to
access the Usenet.

It doesn't make any sense. Someone who used google to access the
Usenet would use Yahoo or Hotmail web interfaces to send mail
with.

And, as you can see above, he is using Linux. I don't know
anyone who uses Linux that posts through google who isn't a
troll. Generally pretty nasty ones. They do it only because
google makes sockpuppet creation so easy. The rest of the time
they use slrn or tin or, less commonly, one of the better
graphical newsreaders. And often, leafnode.

Nor does leaving a name out of the From header make sense
for a newbie. 99% of the examples they see on the Usenet
have a name. Troll's don't like them because they make
them more identifiable. With just an email address they
can change a single character in it and no one will even
notice, yet google will now consider them to be a different
person and create a new posting history in the Archives at
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search

Therefore, I have to conclude that this person is a troll,
posting with a cheap google sockpuppet because they know
that no one here would help them if they revealed one of the
psuedo-identities that they usually post with.

Here's the ticket: Post using a regular newsreader/newsserver and
put a name in your From header.

Or a whole lot of the best people on the Usenet aren't even going
to look at your articles.

Instead of copying it, why don't you save it?

macro index d "s=trash\n<sync-mailbox>" "move message to trash"
macro pager d "s=trash\n<sync-mailbox>" "move message to trash"
macro index S "s=spam\n<sync-mailbox>" "move message to spam"
macro pager S "s=spam\n<sync-mailbox>" "move message to spam"

I have almost the same macro definition. However I was missing the
<save-message> (or <sync-mailbox) command. Or these necessary?

Also when I execute my macro mutt will ask me
"Append messages to imap://imap.fw.belnet.be/INBOX/trash?([yes]/no):"
Do you have the same behaviour?
How can I solve this so that mutt automatically appends the message?

I didn't used to have this 'append message' question on mutt version
1.5.6. Apparantly upgrading to version 1.5.11 introduced this
inconvenience.

Do you have:

set noconfirmappend

in your muttrc file?
