Re: Completion for mutt's -a command line switch

Hey,

mutt allows attaching files from the command-line:

|mutt -a /file/one /file/two /file/three -- … |

Basically, the rules are: |-a| takes a list of files, terminated by |--|.

Zsh's completion of mutt treats the argument to |-a| as optional:

|'*-a[attach file using MIME]::file attachment:_files' \ |

Therefore, after |-a|, mutt's completions include recipients, which is not correct:

|albatross:~% mutt -a toni^D directory toni/ recipient toni@… |

Could you please help me figure out how to fix this? Basically after it sees |-a|, compsys should be offering |_files| until |--| is encountered, and also: at least one file is mandatory.

Thanks,
