Description of problem: "alternates" variable no longer available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mutt 1.5.14 (2007-02-12) How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. set alternates="^foo?\@(.*hotdog\.com|.*hello\.com)" (in muttrc) 2. call mutt 3. Actual results: Error in /home/aldyh/.muttrc, line 11: alternates: unknown variable Expected results: Additional info: The option is documented in the current man page. So either the docs are wrong or the feature got misplaced :).
The variable was replaced by a command. Such changes are documented in /usr/share/doc/mutt-1.5.14/UPDATING. This should work: alternates "^foo?\@(.*hotdog\.com|.*hello\.com)"
My mistake. I didn't realize the variable had become a command. I will close this.
