NAME

       lsmboxrc - configuration file for lsmbox

DESCRIPTION

       A lsmbox configuration file consists of a list of configuration options and their setting.
       The hash mark ("#") is used as a "comment" character.  Every line beginning with a comment
       character is ignored.  Whitespace is also ignored.

COMMANDS

       set variable=value
              Set a configuration variable to the specified value.

       unset variable
              Unset  a  configuration  variable.   This implies that the built-in default will be
              used instead.

       mailboxes filename...
              Specifies what mailboxes to check.  You can have one or  several  of  these  lines.
              Each line can contain the name of one or more mailboxes, each separated by a space.

              A filename of ! denotes your inbox.  A leading ("=") or ("+") in a filename will be
              expanded into the path to your mail-directory.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

       folder The path to your mail-directory; this is usually $HOME/Mail/.

       lsmbox_mail_command
              Specifies what command to execute when the user selects  a  mailbox  in  continuous
              mode.

       mark_old
              Specifies  whether  or not old unread messages and new messages should be accounted
              separately.  If you explicitly unset this variable using  the  unset  command,  the
              number of new and old messages will be added together as unread messages, otherwise
              they will be accounted as new and old respectively.

       mh_seq_unseen
              Specifies the string  used  in  the  .mh_sequences  file  to  list  new/old  unread
              messages.  If this variable is not set, or explicitly unset, "unseen" will be used.

       spoolfile
              The  path  to  where  the  system  keeps  your inbox; usually /var/mail/USERNAME or
              /var/spool/mail/USERNAME.

       lsmbox_padding
              The width of the mailbox column.  To never add  additional  padding  beyond  what's
              needed to align all values, specify '0' here.

COMMENTS

       You  cannot specify a path or mailbox that contains whitespace characters (space, newline,
       etc.)  Do not bug me about this.  Having such filenames/pathnames is stupid anyway.

       I've deliberately tried to use the same syntax as mutt  uses  for  its  configuration-file
       muttrc   whenever   possible,   to   facilitate  sourcing  of  $HOME/.lsmboxrc  from  your
       $HOME/.muttrc.  lsmbox_mail_command will, however, cause mutt to emit an error.
