How do I use a function in (neo-)mutt?
by M0M0 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DNPP)
I'm reading through the documentation of mutt and it suggests to run this or that command/function. But how do I do that?
I found several explanations on how to bind a function to a key but what should I do to run a function that is not bound to a key and that I simply want to test once?
I'm sure there is something like a command-mode that I can't find... I tried ":" as in vim and indeed I can type stuff after the : but if I hit enter it always complains that this command is unknown so ":" must relate to other commands than the commands mentioned in the documentation.
