Hi! I was thinking on how to make using Neomutt easier with b4 to apply patches for testing.

In thunderbird there is an extension that creates a button, that copies the message id. This way I was able to paste that message-id into b4, and apply a whole patch series to my kernel source quickly.

In neomutt I have the message-id in the header field and I can copy it with the mouse but I was curious if anyone found a nice macro with a keybind to just copy the message-id directly to clipboard?

Googling didn't give me any results, and neither did looking through mail archives.

For mutt I use: macro index B |'b4 am -t -o - | git am -s'\n

which binds the key "B" to take the current message and pass it through to b4 to apply the whole patch series to the tree in the local directory.

hope this helps,

Thanks a lot, the command works great! Since I wanted to do it through clipboard I did the following: Set a macro in neomutt: macro index,pager B |'xsel --clipboard' This pastes a message to clipboard with xsel. Then in my git repo I run: xsel -ob | b4 am -t -o - | git am -s And since I am using lazygit quite often I set a custom command also under "B" to do it quickly: customCommands: - key: "B" command: "xsel -ob | b4 am -t -o - | git am -s" context: "localBranches" loadingText: "B4 with message from clipboard" description: "Use message in clipboard with b4 to apply patches from a ML" Maybe it will be helpful to someone else.
