You would include yourself in the search as the "from address" using the ~f pattern operator. For example, if I wanted to limit to messages from ME, and those that mention "mutt" in the body of the message: "~f tarvizo ~b mutt". Using limit without using any additional pattern operators, defaults you to the pattern string as defined by simple_search. (quote the manual) simple_search Type: string Default: "~f %s | ~s %s" Specifies how Mutt should expand a simple search into a real search pattern. A simple search is one that does not contain any of the ~ operators. See `` patterns'' for more information on search patterns. For example, if you simply type joe at a search or limit prompt, Mutt will automatically expand it to the value specified by this variable. For the default value it would be: ~f joe | ~s joe The mutt manual explains pattern operators pretty thoroughly as well: http://mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#simple_search http://mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html#ss4.2 or, you can hit the F1 key in mutt to page through a text version of the manual. In conclusion, mutt totally kicks ass. ;) Tresi Arvizo
