- replace the old system with a bit less rube-goldbergesque (only a bit) system. Immediate advantage is that attachments are now also present in the saved messages, i.e. the copy is now the /same/ as what is sent, rather than an approximation. 'fcc' refers to saving a copy of a sent message to a certain folder. that's what these 'Sent mail' folders are for! We let message mode take care of this by adding a field Fcc: <full-path-to-message-in-target-folder> in the "message-send-hook" (ie., just before sending). message mode will then take care of the saving when the message is actually sent. note, where and if you make this copy depends on the value of `mu4e-sent-messages-behavior'. - also quite a bit of cleanup in particular on mu4e~compose |

Welcome to mu! -------------- Given the enormous amounts of e-mail many people gather and the importance of e-mail message in our work-flows, it's essential to quickly deal with all that mail - in particular, to instantly find that one important e-mail you need right now. mu[1] is a tool for dealing with e-mail messages stored in the Maildir-format. mu's main purpose is to help you to quickly find the messages you need; in addition, it allows you to view messages, extract attachments, create new maildirs, … See the mu cheatsheet[2] for some examples. Searching works by first indexing your messages into a Xapian-database, which can then be queried using a custom query language. Built on top of mu there are some extensions: * mu-for-emacs (mu4e)[3]: a full-features e-mail client that runs inside emacs * mu-guile[4]: bindings for the Guile/Scheme programming language And, there is a toy GTK+-interface called 'mug' (in the 'toys/' subdir) Mu is written in C and a bit of C++, with mu4e written in Emacs-lisp and mu-guile in a mix of C and Scheme. Note, mu is available in Debian/Ubuntu under the name "maildir-utils" because they don't like short names.
