'mutt -f' completion

'mutt -f' completion

[Francisco Borges]

Hello,

Some related questions:

1. Is there any reason why _mutt shouldn't also complete

% mutt -f[TAB]

with '=' (appart from \! \> \<?), e.g.:

% mutt -f=

 and then complete on mutt's mailboxes?

I know that normally 

=foo expands to `which foo`, but the here we would have -f= right
before. Does EQUALS still play a role here?

2. All my email is in a non-standard directory /home/foo/foomail and
some folders are maildirs and some mailboxes, how should I use zstyle to
tell, say, _mailboxes to complete to these?

I know there is a mailboxes tag, but I haven't really understood the
zen of zstyle yet...

Peace.

I guess the problem is that _mailboxes expects mutt to have 
"mutt -f=" or "mutt -f+" as context and _mutt does not allow that so,
_mailboxes never receives the context it expects.

Well, at least whenever you have corrections turned on.

IMHO, one thing that could be used to improve _mailboxes would be to use

`mutt -Q folder | cut -d= -f2` to set a mutt-directory variable inside
at least _mailbox_cache.

If you are wondering: Why am I not sending patches instead of comments?
Because _mailbox_cache and _mua_mailbox seem awfully complicaded to me. 

that was it for today... peace.
