Why is there no option to save it permanently? thx Hi Ilya ! There is an option with which you can store all your certificates in ! But if mutt doesn't know where to store it it'll ask you each time you connect to the server ;-) try this option: set certificate_file=~/mail/.certificates and your certificates will be stored to that file ! have fun Marc -- registered Linux User #165939
Re: reloading mutt aliases file
I have tried to put an unalias statement in my alias-file, to reset everything before reloading the file. However, no matter if I use unalias . or unalias * it doesn't seem to work: it doesn't forget all previously defined aliases as I expect it to do. In fact, it doesn't forget anything. What do I do wrong? TIA Jesper -- "But how can one be warm alone?" Jesper Holmberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ssh and default bg color problem
I currently run mutt in two different situations: 1. on my home machine (linux) in a transparent Eterm window 2. ssh-ing into my home machine from a Windows box. When I'm home, I set all my background colors to "default" so that the transparent Eterm effect works in X. However, when I'm on a Windows box and I ssh into my machine, the "default" background color causes problems. The "current message" bar's colors bleed into the next item in the message index, and when viewing in the pager, the header colors bleed into my message text. To solve this issue, I set the background to "black" when I ssh into the box and everything color-wise is ok. This works because I don't need the transparent backgrounds when I ssh in. But now, based on where I am, I constantly have to rename my .mutt_colors file (which is "sourced" by my .muttrc) depending on whether I'm using ssh or whether I'm local, running under X. This is very frustrating. So who's at fault? Is it mutt for not using slang/ncurses correctly? Is it slang/ncurses not being able to handle the default color? Is it my ssh client not supporting the correct terminal type? -- Nathan Cullen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: IMAP blues
Hi there, * Mikko Hänninen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Wed 08 Nov 2000 18:27:36 GMT]: [Header rewriting tips for sendmail] IMHO, instead of using header rewriting, it's better to get the headers right at the source (use "set [EMAIL PROTECTED] envelope_from"). You will still need to configure sendmail (or whatever the MTA is) to use a smarthost.

My condolences :-). When I'm home, I set all my background colors to "default" so that the transparent Eterm effect works in X.

To solve this issue, I set the background to "black" when I ssh into the box and everything color-wise is ok. This works because I don't need the transparent backgrounds when I ssh in. Here's a novel workaround, which may solve more than just your Mutt problem, and may or may not work based on with what you have to work. 1.) install VNC (X) (http://www.uk.research.att.com./vnc/) 2.) arrange for your display manager (e.g., xdm) to start Xvnc and to put up a login dialog on your VNC server (optional) 3.) install VNC (Win32, or WinVNC) 4.) ssh in using port forwarding, and possibly compression (VanDyke's SecureCRT is one such Win32 program that will do that) 5.) use WinVNC to connect to your local machine on the port being forwarded by your ssh client (e.g., mycomputer:1 to connect to a ssh listening on mycomputer's TCP port 5901). This (in a slightly more convoluted fashion due to a proxy also being in the way) is what I do to run my X apps "securely," including xterms running Mutt in them. I use VNC to take advantage of its graphical encoding/compression (over just using bare X11), and use ssh's compression on top of that. Over my present V.90 connection, it's not too bad. -- Oo---o, Oo---o, O-weem-oh-wum-ooo-ayyy In the jungle, the silicon jungle, the process sleeps tonight.

I am using [...description of Mutt's build...] Perhaps it would work if you were to use function names between less-than/greater-than pairs. Doing macros like the above may work, but they will depend on the exact keybindings (and therefore, Mutt's mode) at the time they're executed. Using for example "delete-message" would be explicit about what you would want done.
