An additional detail if it's still not working (as was the case for me).

I searched for other implementations in the mutt email space, and people's 
.desktop files had `Terminal=false`. 

So I tried that, and this is what got it working for me. Everything else from 
the preceding discussion is exactly the same (also consolidating the steps here 
for future readers):

~/.local/share/applications/aerc.desktop
```
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=aerc

You'd probably like the plugin oil.nvim then.
It does exactly this, but is also serves as the file navigator in neovim.

Fair call. I'm well aware of your script, it was your blog post about aerc and 
setting it up that got me here in the first place ;) Thanks for that!

I'll move on down that path then 👍

I've gone down the notmuch account route for my mailbox instead of using server 
side folders / maildirs etc.

The complexity of the querymap is becoming quickly a bit unwieldy. This is 
basically all due to having to filter everything twice. For example, given these 
folders:

inbox
work
parents
jiu-jitsu

I would have to make write the qmap as such:

hmmm, very true! X-mailer: aerc is indeed not there...
And this is worrying if it will create issues with sourcehut. I am starting to 
like it more and more as my eyes adjust to non-javascript aesthetic. 

Hope the tool serves you well!

I'm with mailbox.org. Another German company (like Posteo). They're really 
great, and are also privacy centric. On the middle plan (€3 per month) you can 
have up to 25 custom domain name emails, many more general *@mailbox.org 
aliases, and also temporary emails that you can generate that expire within 
3 months (unless you renew). In the form of 
  `<random-alphanum>@temp.mailbox.org`.

I maintain a little CLI tool for managing temporary email addresses:

You also get online storage and other office services (like private, encrypted 
video chat). They have pgp built in and are in general quite interoperable and 
have good documentation for setup / integrations. Their customer support is also

I'm also having trouble with this.

Neither `:filter` nor `:query` are allowing me to search for author names.

Given an email with the following author + email in the header:
`Fosstodon <mailer@fosstodon.org>`

The author is not saved in any address book, this is as they present to me as an 
unknown sender.

While the mailbox is in focus:

`:filter -f foss` will not return.
`:filter -f Foss` will not return.

oooooh yes! Thank you everyone!

Yesssss!!!!!! Thank you :)

I'm trying to set the `From:` header in replied emails, based on the presence of 
a specific address in the `To:` header. I'm trying to implement this logic in 
a custom `new-message` template, so that when I reply (unquoted) to an email, it 
gets executed.

I tried with `{{if match index (.To | emails) `.*@lists.sr.ht}}` but got errors 
about match receiving a slice instead of a string. 

So then I thought to iterate over the addresses, and run a match each time:

```
X-Mailer: aerc {{version}}
{{range (.To | emails)}} 
{{if match . `.*@lists.sr.ht`}}
