PROGRAM:

NAME


muttprofile - Choose a Mutt Profile

SYNOPSIS


muttprofile [-a⎪--active string] [-d⎪--dir directory] [-h⎪--help] [-p⎪--profile regexp]
[-v⎪--view] [-V⎪--Version] [profile]

DESCRIPTION


muttprofile is a simple utility to choose a profile to be used with Mutt email-client. It
has two operating modes: command-line and interactive. Muttprofile goes to interactive
mode if no command-line arguments are present or option -v⎪--view is present without
profile name.

Muttprofile looks for profile files in the Mutt directory, opens them and looks for NAME
and DESC definitions. It then creates a symbolic link to the profile chosen by the user.
The rest of the work is done with a Mutt macro.

USAGE


Interactive mode:

Type the name of the profile and the program creates a symlink to load the profile. Press
<tab> to complete, <ctrl-d> to see list of choices.

Command-line options:

-a --active Set the name for active profile symlink, default is profile.active

-d --dir Set the Mutt directory, default is ~/.mutt

-h --help prints a short help and exits

-p --profile (Perl) Regexp to match profile files in Mutt directory

-v --view Instead of creating a symlink, view profile contents

-V --version prints the version information and exits (use --version for long and -V for
short version)

profile if profile exits, create the symlink to load it from Mutt, otherwise exit with
error

INSTALL


Muttprofile requires no installation, but you might have to check the first line of the
file ("#!/usr/bin/perl -w") and change the path to perl if needed ('which perl' might be
useful here :-)

SETTING UP PROFILES


Muttprofile checks the profile files for the following information:

# NAME: name for your profile

# DESC: description of your profile

This information is used for choosing and displaying available profiles. DESC is
optional, but if NAME is missing, filename is used instead.

USING MUTTPROFILE FROM MUTT


Perhaps the easiest way to invoke muttprofile from mutt is to bind a key with mutt macro
command. For example, adding this to your muttrc-file

macro index <F10> "!muttprofile\n:source ~/.mutt/profile.active\nm" "New
message with profile"

binds the function key <F10> to start muttprofile, load the profile and start a new
message

EXIT CODES


The default exit codes for muttprofile are:

0 OK
1 PROFILE ALREADY ACTIVE
2 ERROR

These codes can be used in shell scripts etc.
