Mutt-Trash-Purge-patch

Updates of Cedric Duval's 'trash' and 'purge' patches for mutt

These were originally two separate patches

  • trash which moved deleted messages into a trash folder
  • purge which actually deleted messages (depends on the trash patch)

I've merged them into a single patch (eliminating the dependency) and update them periodically so that they apply cleanly. I haven't done extensive testing of these patches under 1.6.x, so use cautiously and let me know if something seems to break.

How to apply these patches

  1. Download the version of mutt you are interested in using from mutt.org
  2. Download the patch that matches the version of mutt you are using
  3. Untar the source code for mutt
  4. cd into the mutt folder
  5. apply the patch

Example

You can use the following commands to patch the latest version of mutt:

% wget ftp://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/mutt-1.6.0.tar.gz
% wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuperman/Mutt-Trash-Purge-patch/master/patch-1.6.0.bk.trash_folder-purge_message.1
% tar xzvf mutt-1.6.0.tar.gz
% cd mutt-1.6.0
% patch -p1 < ../patch-1.6.0.bk.trash_folder-purge_message.1
