If you don't mind using X-programs, but like me only dont want to start this beast StartOffice you can try AbiWord for .doc files and (under gnome) gnumeric for xls files. Works great for me. Just that AbiWord doesn't display Word2000 very well yet, but maybe i need to upgrade. For text only i use wvHtml for .doc files. I don't have anything for xls that can display on text only terminals. And if you dont mind spending money you could also have a look at a program called QuickView Plus, which i run at work under solaris. That's really great and supports a lot of M$ files!

Re: Latest stable mutt?

It behaves better at work from RH6.2 to M$ Exchange on a much bigger 10BaseT LAN. The simplest thing to do is to go to ftp.mutt.org and take a look, it'll be version 1.2.x. Alternatively take a look at the mutt web page which will also tell you the latest stable version.

Re: customize index_format for *one* mailbox?
On 2000.11.07 10:39:27, you, the extraordinary Hardy Merrill, opined: I'd like to customize the "index_format" for my "sent" mailbox to list the "to:" address instead of the "from:" address that it now displays. Is this possible to do for just one mailbox? Maybe with a folder-hook? My mutt seems to show everything I have sent with the "To: " line in the index (even things that go to mailing lists and get procmailed into folders, e.g. =Lists/mutt-users). I can't find anywhere that I set this So is it the default? But then it should be that way in your "sent" folder automatically. Curious.

Is this possible to do for just one mailbox? Maybe with a folder-hook? You can do it with a folder-hook, as someone explained in another email. But, you should note that the default $index_format value does display "To recipient" instead of the sender information when it detects that messages are sent by you. But for this to work, you need to tell Mutt which addresses belong to you. You do this by setting up the $alternates variable properly. See the manual for more information on $alternates and $index_format. Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

sorting by threads
Hi, I have this in my .muttrc: folder-hook =mutt set sort=threads but it just doesn't work. I tried some other things with quotation and the like, but mutt doesn't thread this folder automatically. I'm using Mutt 1.2.5. Thanks! -- Wouter Verheijen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: sorting by threads
Wouter Verheijen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Tue, 07 Nov 2000: folder-hook =mutt set sort=threads but it just doesn't work. One thing to check is that you specify $folder *before* this, and that you don't change it afterwards... The = is expanded when the command is seen, and if you change $folder after that, then the folder "=mutt" won't point to the same path as when you change to it. If that doesn't help, you might just want to try "folder-hook mutt", without the =. Of course that has the drawback that it would also match "mutt-dev", in fact anything with "mutt" in the name.

Re: IMAP blues
JT Williams proclaimed on mutt-users that: -: set envelope_from Ok, that did the trick. Thanks! But, I'm still wondering why some (subscriber-only) list servers still accepted my mail even before I set `envelope-from' (whereas [EMAIL PROTECTED] did not). Do list servers use different header fields to identify the sender and/or generate a reply address? They mostly match the envelope sender.
