will do ordinary filename completion for this option
(exept substituting '='/'+' by the mutt folder variable first)

Hi,

first of all, let me thank you for this wonderfull tool.

Mutts option "-f" specifies the mailfolder to load. Mutt supports a variable "folder" which points to the default location of mailboxes (mailfolders) and a shortcut "+" or "=" which expandes to the value of "folder". Xpcomps completion for mutt knows of these shortcuts. Thus "mutt -f +ingok" starts mutt opening e. g. folder /home/gregor/Mail/ingok. My muttrcs value of "folder" is the default "~/Mail" which in my case is a symlink to another directory. Mutt then only gives one possible completion for "mutt -f +" which is "Mail" which in turn is wrong. I think xpcomp misses a trailing "/" but setting "folder" to "~/Mail/" in muttrc does not hel either.

Ciao, Gregor
