+This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address an e\-mail
+to user ID \(lqstevef\(rq whose full name is \(lqSteve Franklin\(rq. If mutt expands
+\(lqstevef\(rq to \(lq\(rqFranklin\(rq stevef@foo.bar\(rq then you should set the $gecos_mask to

+.B header_cache
+.nf
+Type: path
+Default: \(lq\(rq
+.fi
+.IP
+This variable points to the header cache database.
+If pointing to a directory Mutt will contain a header cache
+database file per folder, if pointing to a file that file will
+be a single global header cache. By default it is \fIunset\fP so no header

+.TP
+.B header_cache_compress
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When mutt is compiled with qdbm or tokyocabinet as header cache backend,
+this option determines whether the database will be compressed.
+Compression results in database files roughly being one fifth
+of the usual diskspace, but the uncompression can result in a
+slower opening of cached folder(s) which in general is still
+much faster than opening non header cached folders.

+.B hostname
+.nf
+Type: string
+Default: \(lq\(rq

+.IP
+Specifies the fully\-qualified hostname of the system mutt is running on
+containing the host's name and the DNS domain it belongs to. It is used
+as the domain part (after \(lq@\(rq) for local email addresses as well as
+Message\-Id headers.
+.IP
+Its value is determined at startup as follows: If the node's name
+as returned by the \fCuname(3)\fP function contains the hostname and the
+domain, these are used to construct $hostname. If there is no
+domain part returned, Mutt will look for a \(lqdomain\(rq or \(lqsearch\(rq
+line in \fC/etc/resolv.conf\fP to determine the domain. Optionally, Mutt
+can be compiled with a fixed domain name in which case a detected
+one is not used.

+.TP
+.B ignore_linear_white_space
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no

+\(lqlists\(rq commands). When \fIset\fP, if the \(lqReply\-To:\(rq field is
+set to the same value as the \(lqTo:\(rq field, Mutt assumes that the
+\(lqReply\-To:\(rq field was set by the mailing list to automate responses
+to the list, and will ignore this field. To direct a response to the
+mailing list when this option is \fIset\fP, use the \fC<list-reply>\fP

+Type: string
+Default: \(lq\(rq
+.fi
+.IP
+This is a colon\-delimited list of authentication methods mutt may

+try them. Authentication methods are either \(lqlogin\(rq or the right
+side of an IMAP \(lqAUTH=xxx\(rq capability string, eg \(lqdigest\-md5\(rq, \(lqgssapi\(rq
+or \(lqcram\-md5\(rq. This option is case\-insensitive. If it's
+\fIunset\fP (the default) mutt will try all available methods,

+.B imap_check_subscribed
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no

+
+
+.TP
+.B imap_idle
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, mutt will attempt to use the IMAP IDLE extension
+to check for new mail in the current mailbox. Some servers
+(dovecot was the inspiration for this option) react badly
+to mutt's implementation. If your connection seems to freeze
+up periodically, try unsetting this.
+
+
+.TP
+.B imap_keepalive
+.nf
+Type: number
+Default: 900
+.fi
+.IP
+This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt
+will wait before polling open IMAP connections, to prevent the server
+from closing them before mutt has finished with them. The default is
+well within the RFC\-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before
+a server is allowed to do this, but in practice the RFC does get
+violated every now and then. Reduce this number if you find yourself
+getting disconnected from your IMAP server due to inactivity.
+
+
+.TP
+.B imap_list_subscribed
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no

+.B imap_passive
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, mutt will not open new IMAP connections to check for new
+mail. Mutt will only check for new mail over existing IMAP
+connections. This is useful if you don't want to be prompted to
+user/password pairs on mutt invocation, or if opening the connection
+is slow.
+
+
+.TP
+.B imap_peek
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, mutt will avoid implicitly marking your mail as read whenever
+you fetch a message from the server. This is generally a good thing,
+but can make closing an IMAP folder somewhat slower. This option
+exists to appease speed freaks.

+.TP
+.B imap_pipeline_depth
+.nf
+Type: number
+Default: 15
+.fi
+.IP
+Controls the number of IMAP commands that may be queued up before they
+are sent to the server. A deeper pipeline reduces the amount of time
+mutt must wait for the server, and can make IMAP servers feel much
+more responsive. But not all servers correctly handle pipelined commands,
+so if you have problems you might want to try setting this variable to 0.

+.IP
+Determines the number of lines of a mini\-index which is shown when in
+the pager. The current message, unless near the top or bottom of the

+giving the reader the context of a few messages before and after the
+message. This is useful, for example, to determine how many messages
+remain to be read in the current thread. One of the lines is reserved
+for the status bar from the index, so a setting of 6
+will only show 5 lines of the actual index. A value of 0 results in
+no index being shown. If the number of messages in the current folder

+.IP
+Setting this variable causes the \(lqstatus bar\(rq to be displayed on
+the first line of the screen rather than near the bottom. If $help
+is \fIset\fP, too it'll be placed at the bottom.
+
+
+.TP
+.B strict_threads
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+If \fIset\fP, threading will only make use of the \(lqIn\-Reply\-To\(rq and
+\(lqReferences:\(rq fields when you $sort by message threads. By
+default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in
+\(lqpseudo threads.\(rq. This may not always be desirable, such as in a
+personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with
+the subjects like \(lqhi\(rq which will get grouped together. See also
+$sort_re for a less drastic way of controlling this
+behaviour.
+
+
+.TP
+.B suspend
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIunset\fP, mutt won't stop when the user presses the terminal's
+\fIsusp\fP key, usually \(lq^Z\(rq. This is useful if you run mutt
+inside an xterm using a command like \(lq\fCxterm \-e mutt\fP\(rq.
+
+
+.TP
+.B text_flowed
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, mutt will generate \(lqformat=flowed\(rq bodies with a content type
+of \(lq\fCtext/plain; format=flowed\fP\(rq.
+This format is easier to handle for some mailing software, and generally
+just looks like ordinary text. To actually make use of this format's
+features, you'll need support in your editor.
+.IP
+Note that $indent_string is ignored when this option is \fIset\fP.
+
+
+.TP
+.B thorough_search
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+Affects the \fC~b\fP and \fC~h\fP search operations described in
+section \(lqpatterns\(rq. If \fIset\fP, the headers and body/attachments of
+messages to be searched are decoded before searching. If \fIunset\fP,
+messages are searched as they appear in the folder.
+.IP
+Users searching attachments or for non\-ASCII characters should \fIset\fP
+this value because decoding also includes MIME parsing/decoding and possible
+character set conversions. Otherwise mutt will attempt to match against the
+raw message received (for example quoted\-printable encoded or with encoded
+headers) which may lead to incorrect search results.
+
+
+.TP
+.B thread_received
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, mutt uses the date received rather than the date sent
+to thread messages by subject.
+
+
+.TP
+.B tilde
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, the internal\-pager will pad blank lines to the bottom of the
+screen with a tilde (\(lq~\(rq).
+
+
+.TP
+.B time_inc
+.nf
+Type: number
+Default: 0
+.fi
+.IP
+Along with $read_inc, $write_inc, and $net_inc, this
+variable controls the frequency with which progress updates are
+displayed. It suppresses updates less than $time_inc milliseconds
+apart. This can improve throughput on systems with slow terminals,
+or when running mutt on a remote system.
+.IP
+Also see the \(lqtuning\(rq section of the manual for performance considerations.
+
+
+.TP
+.B timeout
+.nf
+Type: number
+Default: 600
+.fi
+.IP
+When Mutt is waiting for user input either idleing in menus or
+in an interactive prompt, Mutt would block until input is
+present. Depending on the context, this would prevent certain
+operations from working, like checking for new mail or keeping
+an IMAP connection alive.
+.IP
+This variable controls how many seconds Mutt will at most wait
+until it aborts waiting for input, performs these operations and
+continues to wait for input.
+.IP
+A value of zero or less will cause Mutt to never time out.
+
+
+.TP
+.B tmpdir
+.nf
+Type: path
+Default: \(lq\(rq
+.fi
+.IP
+This variable allows you to specify where Mutt will place its
+temporary files needed for displaying and composing messages. If
+this variable is not set, the environment variable \fC$TMPDIR\fP is
+used. If \fC$TMPDIR\fP is not set then \(lq\fC/tmp\fP\(rq is used.
+
+
+.TP
+.B to_chars
+.nf
+Type: string
+Default: \(lq +TCFL\(rq
+.fi
+.IP
+Controls the character used to indicate mail addressed to you. The
+first character is the one used when the mail is \fInot\fP addressed to your
+address. The second is used when you are the only
+recipient of the message. The third is when your address
+appears in the \(lqTo:\(rq header field, but you are not the only recipient of
+the message. The fourth character is used when your
+address is specified in the \(lqCc:\(rq header field, but you are not the only
+recipient. The fifth character is used to indicate mail that was sent
+by \fIyou\fP. The sixth character is used to indicate when a mail
+was sent to a mailing\-list you subscribe to.
+
+
+.TP
+.B tunnel
+.nf
+Type: string
+Default: \(lq\(rq
+.fi
+.IP
+Setting this variable will cause mutt to open a pipe to a command
+instead of a raw socket. You may be able to use this to set up
+preauthenticated connections to your IMAP/POP3/SMTP server. Example:
+
+.IP
+.DS
+.sp
+.ft CR
+.nf
+set tunnel=\(rqssh \-q mailhost.net /usr/local/libexec/imapd\(rq
+
+.fi
+.ec
+.ft P
+.sp
+.IP
+Note: For this example to work you must be able to log in to the remote
+machine without having to enter a password.
+.IP
+When set, Mutt uses the tunnel for all remote connections.
+Please see \(lqaccount-hook\(rq in the manual for how to use different
+tunnel commands per connection.
+
+
+.TP
+.B uncollapse_jump
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, Mutt will jump to the next unread message, if any,
+when the current thread is \fIun\fPcollapsed.
+
+
+.TP
+.B use_8bitmime
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+\fBWarning:\fP do not set this variable unless you are using a version
+of sendmail which supports the \fC\-B8BITMIME\fP flag (such as sendmail
+8.8.x) or you may not be able to send mail.
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, Mutt will invoke $sendmail with the \fC\-B8BITMIME\fP
+flag when sending 8\-bit messages to enable ESMTP negotiation.
+
+
+.TP
+.B use_domain
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, Mutt will qualify all local addresses (ones without the
+\(lq@host\(rq portion) with the value of $hostname. If \fIunset\fP, no
+addresses will be qualified.
+
+
+.TP
+.B use_envelope_from
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: no
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, mutt will set the \fIenvelope\fP sender of the message.
+If $envelope_from_address is \fIset\fP, it will be used as the sender
+address. If \fIunset\fP, mutt will attempt to derive the sender from the
+\(lqFrom:\(rq header.
+.IP
+Note that this information is passed to sendmail command using the
+\fC\-f\fP command line switch. Therefore setting this option is not useful
+if the $sendmail variable already contains \fC\-f\fP or if the
+executable pointed to by $sendmail doesn't support the \fC\-f\fP switch.
+
+
+.TP
+.B use_from
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, Mutt will generate the \(lqFrom:\(rq header field when
+sending messages. If \fIunset\fP, no \(lqFrom:\(rq header field will be
+generated unless the user explicitly sets one using the \(lqmy_hdr\(rq
+command.
+
+
+.TP
+.B use_idn
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, Mutt will show you international domain names decoded.
+Note: You can use IDNs for addresses even if this is \fIunset\fP.
+This variable only affects decoding.
+
+
+.TP
+.B use_ipv6
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, Mutt will look for IPv6 addresses of hosts it tries to
+contact. If this option is \fIunset\fP, Mutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses.
+Normally, the default should work.
+
+
+.TP
+.B user_agent
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, mutt will add a \(lqUser\-Agent:\(rq header to outgoing
+messages, indicating which version of mutt was used for composing
+them.
+
+
+.TP
+.B visual
+.nf
+Type: path
+Default: \(lq\(rq
+.fi
+.IP
+Specifies the visual editor to invoke when the \(lq\fC~v\fP\(rq command is
+given in the builtin editor.
+
+
+.TP
+.B wait_key
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after an external command
+has been invoked by these functions: \fC<shell\-escape>\fP,
+\fC<pipe\-message>\fP, \fC<pipe\-entry>\fP, \fC<print\-message>\fP,
+and \fC<print\-entry>\fP commands.
+.IP
+It is also used when viewing attachments with \(lqauto_view\(rq, provided
+that the corresponding mailcap entry has a \fIneedsterminal\fP flag,
+and the external program is interactive.
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, Mutt will always ask for a key. When \fIunset\fP, Mutt will wait
+for a key only if the external command returned a non\-zero status.
+
+
+.TP
+.B weed
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, mutt will weed headers when displaying, forwarding,
+printing, or replying to messages.
+
+
+.TP
+.B wrap
+.nf
+Type: number
+Default: 0
+.fi
+.IP
+When set to a positive value, mutt will wrap text at $wrap characters.
+When set to a negative value, mutt will wrap text so that there are $wrap
+characters of empty space on the right side of the terminal.
+
+
+.TP
+.B wrap_search
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+Controls whether searches wrap around the end.
+.IP
+When \fIset\fP, searches will wrap around the first (or last) item. When
+\fIunset\fP, incremental searches will not wrap.
+
+
+.TP
+.B wrapmargin
+.nf
+Type: number
+Default: 0
+.fi
+.IP
+(DEPRECATED) Equivalent to setting $wrap with a negative value.
+
+
+.TP
+.B write_bcc
+.nf
+Type: boolean
+Default: yes
+.fi
+.IP
+Controls whether mutt writes out the \(lqBcc:\(rq header when preparing
+messages to be sent. Exim users may wish to unset this. If mutt
+is set to deliver directly via SMTP (see $smtp_url), this
+option does nothing: mutt will never write out the \(lqBcc:\(rq header
+in this case.
+
+
+.TP
+.B write_inc
+.nf
+Type: number
+Default: 10
+.fi
+.IP
+When writing a mailbox, a message will be printed every
+$write_inc messages to indicate progress. If set to 0, only a
+single message will be displayed before writing a mailbox.
+.IP
+Also see the $read_inc, $net_inc and $time_inc variables and the
+\(lqtuning\(rq section of the manual for performance considerations.
