   _M_u_t_t is a small but very powerful text-based MIME mail client. Mutt is
   highly  configurable,  and  is well suited to the mail power user with
   advanced  features like key bindings, keyboard macros, mail threading,
   regular  expression  searches and a powerful pattern matching language
   for selecting groups of messages.

2. Mailing Lists

   To  subscribe  to  one  of the following mailing lists, send a message
   with the word _s_u_b_s_c_r_i_b_e in the body to list-name_-_r_e_q_u_e_s_[e-mail].

     * <mmuutttt--aannnnoouunnccee--rreeqquueesstt@@mmuutttt..oorrgg>   --   low   traffic   list   for
       announcements
     * <mmuutttt--uusseerrss--rreeqquueesstt@@mmuutttt..oorrgg>  --  help,  bug  reports and feature
       requests
     * <mmuutttt--ddeevv--rreeqquueesstt@@mmuutttt..oorrgg> -- development mailing list

   _N_o_t_e_: all messages posted to _m_u_t_t_-_a_n_n_o_u_n_c_e are automatically forwarded
   to _m_u_t_t_-_u_s_e_r_s, so you do not need to be subscribed to both lists.

   This section is intended as a brief overview of how to use Mutt. There
   are  many  other features which are described elsewhere in the manual.
   There  is  even more information available in the Mutt FAQ and various
   web pages. See the MMuutttt  PPaaggee for more details.

   The  keybindings  described  in  this  section  are  the  defaults  as
   distributed.  Your  local  system  administrator  may have altered the
   defaults  for  your  site.  You  can  always type ``?'' in any menu to
   display the current bindings.

   The  first  thing you need to do is invoke mutt, simply by typing mutt
   at  the  command  line.  There  are  various command-line options, see
   either the mutt man page or the rreeffeerreennccee.

1. Moving Around in Menus

   Information  is  presented  in  menus,  very similar to ELM. Here is a
   table showing the common keys used to navigate menus in Mutt.

   _T_a_b_l_e_ _2_._1_._ _M_o_s_t_ _c_o_m_m_o_n_ _n_a_v_i_g_a_t_i_o_n_ _k_e_y_s
       Key        Function                   Description
   j or Down   next-entry     move to the next entry
   k or Up     previous-entry move to the previous entry
   z or PageDn page-down      go to the next page
   Z or PageUp page-up        go to the previous page
   = or Home   first-entry    jump to the first entry
   * or End    last-entry     jump to the last entry
   q           quit           exit the current menu
   ?           help           list all keybindings for the current menu

2. Editing Input Fields

2.1. Introduction

   Mutt  has  a  built-in  line  editor  for  inputting  text, e.g. email
   addresses  or  filenames.  The  keys used to manipulate text input are
   very  similar  to  those  of Emacs. See the following table for a full
   reference  of  available  functions,  their  default key bindings, and
   short descriptions.

   _T_a_b_l_e_ _2_._2_._ _M_o_s_t_ _c_o_m_m_o_n_ _l_i_n_e_ _e_d_i_t_o_r_ _k_e_y_s
        Key          Function                 Description
   ^A or <Home>   bol             move to the start of the line
   ^B or <Left>   backward-char   move back one char
   Esc B          backward-word   move back one word
   ^D or <Delete> delete-char     delete the char under the cursor
   ^E or <End>    eol             move to the end of the line
   ^F or <Right>  forward-char    move forward one char
   Esc F          forward-word    move forward one word
   <Tab>          complete        complete filename or alias
   ^T             complete-query  complete address with query
   ^K             kill-eol        delete to the end of the line
   ESC d          kill-eow        delete to the end ot the word
   ^W             kill-word       kill the word in front of the cursor
   ^U             kill-line       delete entire line
   ^V             quote-char      quote the next typed key
   <Up>           history-up      recall previous string from history
   <Down>         history-down    recall next string from history
   <BackSpace>    backspace       kill the char in front of the cursor
   Esc u          upcase-word     convert word to upper case
   Esc l          downcase-word   convert word to lower case
   Esc c          capitalize-word capitalize the word
   ^G             n/a             abort
   <Return>       n/a             finish editing

   You  can  remap  the  _e_d_i_t_o_r  functions  using  the  bbiinndd command. For
   example,  to  make the _D_e_l_e_t_e key delete the character in front of the
   cursor rather than under, you could use
bind editor <delete> backspace

2.2. History

   The  number of items in the built-in editor's history is controlled by
   the  $$hhiissttoorryy variable. You may cycle through them at an editor prompt
   by using the history-up and/or history-down commands.

   Mutt  maintains  several  distinct  history lists, one for each of the
   following categories:

     * muttrc commands
     * addresses and aliases
     * shell commands
     * filenames
     * patterns
     * everything else

   Mutt  automatically  filters  out  repeated items from the history. It
   also  mimics  the  behaviour of some shells by ignoring items starting
   with a space.

   The  latter  feature  can  be  useful  in  macros  to  not clobber the
   history's valuable entries with unwanted entries.

3. Reading Mail - The Index and Pager

   Similar  to many other mail clients, there are two modes in which mail
   is  read  in  Mutt. The first is the index of messages in the mailbox,
   which  is called the ``index'' in Mutt. The second mode is the display
   of the message contents. This is called the ``pager.''

   The next few sections describe the functions provided in each of these
   modes.

3.1. The Message Index

   _T_a_b_l_e_ _2_._3_._ _M_o_s_t_ _c_o_m_m_o_n_ _m_e_s_s_a_g_e_ _i_n_d_e_x_ _k_e_y_s
     Key                    Description
   c        change to a different mailbox
   ESC c    change to a folder in read-only mode
   C        copy the current message to another mailbox
   ESC C    decode a message and copy it to a folder
   ESC s    decode a message and save it to a folder
   D        delete messages matching a pattern
   d        delete the current message
   F        mark as important
   l        show messages matching a pattern
   N        mark message as new
   o        change the current sort method
   O        reverse sort the mailbox
   q        save changes and exit
   s        save-message
   T        tag messages matching a pattern
   t        toggle the tag on a message
   ESC t    toggle tag on entire message thread
   U        undelete messages matching a pattern
