Re: strange alias expansion
Eugene Lee muttered: In Mutt, why does the alias: alias john John S. Doe [EMAIL PROTECTED] get expanded to: To: "John S . Doe" [EMAIL PROTECTED] And is there any way to fix it? Thanks in advance.

change color settings depend on tty in use
Gentlemen: when I use Mutt on a direct console I like color settings. When I dial in from work the color settings don't work very well even though I DO set the terminal type correctly. Is there a way I can have mutt apply different color settings depending on terminal type, or may be depending on which tty I'm on , or some other way to handle this issue? thanks!

I am using:
~/.muttrc:
# Color settings
source ${HOME}/.mutt/`echo $TERM`
Then, there are two files with different settings in .mutt, colors and mono.
$TERM is just a link to the approproiate file:
$ ls -l ~/.mutt

Re: change color settings depend on tty in use
Just running mutt -h, there is an option to run a: -F file specify an alternate muttrc file You can run an alternate .muttrc file such as: .muttrc-home .muttrc-work And then easily just source out the other files from there, or put everything in that one file.

Mutt + Screen + Vim question
I currently use something along the lines (in my $HOME/.muttrc) set editor="vim '+/^$'" (pretty standard stuff.) But every once and a while I would like to jump back to Mutt to check a message. Since I'm running screen I thought, ``Oh, I'll just spawn vim off in another screen and then jump back to mutt if need be.'' Well if I do just that: set editor="screen vim -f '+/^$'" Screen spawns off a vim session just fine, but the contents of the file is empty. I used the `-f` thinking that vim was detaching from the shell, but know difference is noticed. So my next try was to write a quick wrapper around screen and vim and pass it argv1. % cat hack #!/bin/sh /usr/apps/bin/screen /usr/apps/bin/vim -- $1 And in my .muttrc file. set editor="/home/sbank/hack" Still no go. Screen spawns with vim, but no e-mail message to edit. Does anyone have any suggestions? (I looked in the mail archives, but all I came up with is someone saying you should try the `-x` option to vim. Which is clearly wrong if you just do a quick man on vim.) Thanks, Steve

I'm running mutt 1.2.5i and a UW IMAP server. I don't even know where to start
as I haven't been able to figure out how to trap error messages/logs.
Here's my postponed setting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there nobody who can help me here?
Although I am initially enjoying learning the power of Mutt, loosing postponed
messages is a major stumbling block. I fear I may have to return to using
Netscape/Outlook for reading mail.

Why not leave your editor stuff alone, and spawn another mutt in another screen? How would I do that? Would I write a macro for `m`? And how would you invoke that 'm' macro from inside vim??? :) The solution I'm suggesting has absolutely nothing to do with mutt and everything to do with screen. Mutt can't do what you think you want it to do. You need to tell screen you want a new screen, and you want to run mutt in that new screen. The only way to interrupt composing a message and use mutt to browse e-mail is to postpone the current message (exit your editor, then invoke postpone-message, probably with the 'P' key), browse away, and then resume the postponed message (probably with 'R'). You can't "jump back to mutt" from your editor, because mutt is waiting for vim to terminate, and if I read your message correctly, you want to browse messages in mutt without exiting vim. That just won't work. Brian
