[gentoo-user] mutt attachment viewing
The entries for text/html in /etc/mailcap and ~/.mutt/mailcap on my ~amd64 Gentoo Linux system are $ grep ^text/html ~/.mutt/mailcap /etc/mailcap /home/romildo/.mutt/mailcap:text/html; links %s; nametemplate=%s.html; needsterminal; copiousoutput; description=HTMLText /etc/mailcap:text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html /etc/mailcap:text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -dump -force_html '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html Although the entry for links does not have the field copiousoutput, it is not being used for viewing an html attachment from the mutt attachments menu, as it should be. Instead it is using the lynx entry. I am using Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15, Gentoo 1.5.21-r1). Any clues? Romildo

[gentoo-user] Two portage questions
Hi, Gentoo. Two questions about Portage whose ansers I haven't found in the fine manuals: 1. Where is it specified what is in system in the same way that world is in the file /var/lib/portage/world? 2. How does emerge know which mutt to build when I do emerge mutt?

[gentoo-user] Anyone using extract_url with mutt?
urlview has served me faithfully for many years in conjunction with mutt. In a recent install, I find it's no longer available (python 2.7?). extract_url is touted as a drop-in replacement for urlview. I emerged it and did some RTFM, ending up more confused than ever. I want to display urls on a simple menu, just like urlview, select, and pass the selected url to my palemoon email profile... /home/waltdnes/pm/palemoon/palemoon -new-instance -p email The man page had example macros for mutt 1.4.x and mutt 1.5.x.

Re: [gentoo-user] modifying locally an ebuild
Fernando Canizo schreef: El 30/ago/2005 a las 22:36 -0300, Holly me decía: Normally what one would do is place all modified ebuilds in your PORTDIR_OVERLAY ... Thank you very much. You should take advice from Nick and make it a howto. I'm surely going to translate to spanish and put it in my blog, maybe i would add something if i get to make it work ;) Thanks, and more power to you! I can't make it work but it's after 2 AM and maybe i just need to read some docs. ebuild says: # ebuild /usr/local/portage/mail-client/mutt/mutt-conan-1.5.8-r2.ebuild digest !!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'mail-client/mutt-conan-1.5.8-r2' not specified: !!!None !!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'mail-client/mutt-conan-1.5.8-r2' not specified: !!!None doebuild(): aux_get() error reading mail-client/mutt-conan-1.5.8-r2; aborting. The probelm here is (likely) that the name of the package (for the purposes of the ebuild) is 'mutt-conan', not mutt. The format for an overlay folder (like Portage) is cat-egory/package-name/package-name.and-version.ebuild so your ebuild should likely be in /usr/local/portage/mail-client/mutt-conan/mutt-conan-1.5.8-r2.ebuild rather than just 'mutt'. I get caught by that one all the time to create the manifest file (so that Portage knows what files are associated with the ebuild, and can calculate their MD5 sums to check them for corruption when emerging). I did it by hand, first time, when modified ebuild in /usr/portage The thing is, that ebuilds in your overlay aren't overwritten or touched in any way by Portage, so you don't have to keep 'redoing' the ebuild every time you emerge sync. Cool, that's what i wanted. But i have to fix version in /etc/portage/packages.mask if i want to forbid mutt being upgraded, have i? Not necessarily, because your package is called mutt-conan, not mutt. So all you have to do is not emerge mutt-- as long as you don't emerge a package that depends on mutt, which I don't know if there are any, you should be good to go. If your package was called mutt, you could mask all versions above the one you used, just like you would for any other ebuild, but I wouldn't do that myself, because then how will you know if the package was upgraded (possibly folding in your changes, or, if not, nonetheless incorporating features that you might want in your modified ebuild anyway). In other words, not masking the original package makes it easier to know when to update your overlay ebuild, imo. You might want to check your virtuals, though, and/or package.provided, to let Portage know that mutt is provided by mutt-conan. If the ebuild in Portage hasn't changed, your modified ebuild will always be newer; if the ebuild in Portage has changed, it's quite likely that whatever patch or functionality you were waiting for has been merged into the main tree upstream, or backported into the ebuild, so you have an easy migration path back into main Portage (and of course, if you care enough about the application and its patchset to modify an ebuild and put it in your overlay, checking the ChangeLog of any updated ebuilds is not an onerous task). Well, i've not synced for a while, but i think sooner or later will do. Emm... the patch isn't going to be upstream soon if ever. I asked for some behaviour in mutt-user mailing list and someone give me this patch. Now i'm asking there to put it in the core, but that could not happen. Is this a behaviour that a significant portion of the mutt userbase might want? Or are you just weird ;) ? If you're just weird, use your overlay and be happy. If you think it might be useful to other mutt users, submit it to b.g.o (make sure to explain the circumstances so they don't go irritating upstream with a patch that upstream has no interest in). Or, if there's an unofficial 'mutt users' site or two, you could offer it to them to host, so that non-gentoo mutt users would have access to it as well. Or, if there's some way to 'modularize' mutt, you could look into turning the patch into a 'plugin' (if such things exist, I know nothing about mutt), so that it would be optional to those who wanted to use it. So that's the userland solution, but yes, if you want the patch included in Portage (which is likely to happen anyway, if it's a patch from upstream), the place to submit it for inclusion (preferably with the modified ebuild attached as well), would be bugs.gentoo.org (b.g.o). Well, maybe i try it, the patch is so simple that even if never gets to mutt core, i think it wouldn't do any damage to maintain it in gentoo. I can do that. :) Yes, you can. Isn't Gentoo great?

[gentoo-user] Mutt Use Flag Advice
I've never used Mutt before and I'd like to try it. I'm running kernel 2.6.16-hardened-r11 and I was wondering what use flags I should set when emerging Mutt. I ran emerge -pv mutt and it looked like some of the disabled items should be enabled, like -pop and -gpgme. Maybe support for these things are enabled another way, but I would like to use mutt with gpg and pull mail off the cox server. Can anyone please help me decide which use flags I should enable before emerging mutt? I've been doing some reading on the subject, but I'm not very familiar with configuring mua's so I'm a little confused as to what flags should be enabled and which are better left alone until I grok this better. I'm not adverse to simply leaving as is and compiling with the default flags, but I would like to keep this system as stable and hardened as possible so any advise would be really appreciated.

[gentoo-user] any gentoo mutt users?
I've recently discovered the awesomeness of mutt. (I may be a little late, but better late than never!) I'm use it for my work email. I have a rather complex and lengthy set of folders, and an equally complex procmail to go along with it. Mutt is blazing fast at opening mail folders and sorting things, but I'm wondering how to check when a new messages comes into a folder and skips the inbox. I've heard of xbuffy and gbuffy, but xbuffy isn't in portage and gbuffy fails to compile every time (and it's masked) Any other suggestions? Something very lightweight would be awesome -- even text based would be okay. What are you mutt users to check email in all your folders? Thoughts? Ideas? :) -j

Re: [gentoo-user] Mutt vs Fetchmail problem

Of course, that wouldn't do, as it has to send out my password. So Fetchmail itself is working, but when Mutt calls it, something goes wrong. How does Mutt call Fetchmail ? That I'm not sure (smile). I think mutt doesn't call fetchmail. You have fetchmail set up to pull mail from your pop server (this works), and you have mutt set up to also pull mail from your pop server (this no longer works), using mutt's own built in POP support (http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#pop) which does not use your fetchmail configuration at all. You thus have two ways set up to access your mail. You might either do away with POP support in your mutt (as the mutt manual says: If you only need to fetch all messages to a local mailbox you should consider using a specialized program, such as fetchmail(1), getmail(1) or similar.), or make sure that mutt accesses the POP server the same way that fetchmail does. I think 'G' is not bound by default in Mutt. IIRC it is bound by default : at least, it's always worked before. Ah yes, your version of mutt has POP support built in, mine doesn't and as such 'G' is not bound on my system, my bad. How did you set it up in your .muttrc ? set pop_host="pop." set pop_pass="" set pop_user="" set pop_last Fetchmail is run as a user cron job. It was last emerged in 2020. The cron jobs are running as before, but nothing is downloaded. .muttrc hasn't been changed since 2020. It does appear that it is in fact more convenient to use Fetchmail directly. Instead of having to check several folders for new mail, I can issue the command (aliased as 'fm') when I decide to check mail & it actually tells me how many it's downloading, so if there's nothing, I don't have to do anything else. However, it wb helpful to find out what has gone wrong. It must be some pkg I updated since 210220. Either something changed in your system, or possibly on the ISP side of things. The "Mate, the command must be one of CAPA, USER, PASS or QUIT" error you get is returned by the server you are trying to retrieve your mail from, not mutt, and probably in relation to mutt sending the STLS command to (attempt to) start a secure session. You might want to see what mutt does different from what fetchmail does. Try adding ':995' (for port 995, used for encrypted POP3) to the pop_host setting? Of late, a lot of email providers (notably gmail, MS/outlook, and I think Yahoo too) require OAUTH support to access mail. Maybe this applies to you? See the interwebs for documentation on how to configure this for fetchmail and mutt respectively. I hope this helps you a little further. Kind regards, Remco

Mutt for testing different behaviour (sometimes issues) of NeoMutt and NeoMutt as as my day-to-day mail client workhorse. The main reason for my switch to NeoMutt was that I’ve had no luck with colourisation in Mutt (nearly two years ago). TBH, afterwards I realised that the problem was sitting in front of the screen and used sys-libs/slang instead of sys-libs/ncurses), so no reason for a switch. But I like the faster development/release cycle, the goal to clean up the 20 years old code base and some features [1] of NeoMutt, e.g. Lua-scripting, sidebar; which sometimes find their way into Mutt. I have no experiences contributing patches to Mutt but regarded to NeoMutt, it meet my expectations and that is fun. Back to the topic, with a another example. As far as I can tell you cannot change the hcache backend without recompiling Mutt where NeoMutt implements the ‘$header_cache_backend’ configuration variable for. But in the end I can only say forget all things above, I’m only more familiar with NeoMutt than with Mutt. References: [1] <https://www.neomutt.org/feature.html> -- Regards, floyd

This is the thing: in mutt you can flag a message as important (you got only one flag), also you have a 'ctrl-d' command that deletes a full thread. Sometimes threads get off-topic (an unconstructive flame for example) and when i realize that, and don't like the new topic i just 'ctrl-d' them. But what if i've flagged some message? It means that it's important to me, so i wanted to remain undeleted. The actual behaviour of mutt just delete everything. That's what the patch provides me, and with a single line of code. Simple.

This worked great for plain vi, but the problem persists with mutt. Any suggestions for mutt? This is my mutt editor command.

I am not sure to understand your problem:
- you encrypt your attachments (or receive ons) and they are not attached? or
not shown but present?
- does the full encryption of an email work? (are you able to send and receive
encrypted emails?)
- your configuration files do not show anything related to attachments
Could gave us your use case in order we can try to reproduce it?
Just in case, you can also add your version numbers of mutt, gnupg, etc.

Hi Lucas,
Here is my muttrc on github:
https://github.com/lramage94/dotfiles/blob/master/.mutt/muttrc
It looks like you are using gpgme, I personally have not set this up for
my neomutt, instead I use a gpg.rc file from the samples provided.
For example;
bzcat /usr/share/doc/neomutt-*/samples/gpg.rc.bz2 > ~/.mutt/gpg.rc
echo "source ~/.mutt/gpg.rc" >> ~/.mutt/muttrc
I would not do that. The topic itself is complex enough and sourcing of
14 ! long and cryptic command lines doesn’t make it better. Also note
that gpg.rc defines the deprecated ‘pgp_clearsign_command’ variable.
BTW. as we‘re talking about NeoMutt here, I use:
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME}/.}${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:+/}neomutt/neomuttrc
so I can run a parallel Mutt installation when things get broken.
Instead I suggest to set ‘gpgme’ USE-flag and *only that* – no ‘crypt’,
‘gpg’, ‘pgp_classic’, ‘smime’, ‘smime_classic’. Look at the ebuild and
especially the comments. This way I only need to set one ! variable to
get the stuff working:
set crypt_use_gpgme = yes
To be sure you may also set:
# ensure deprecated options are disabled or disarmed
set pgp_autoinline = no
set pgp_clearsign_command = ''
set pgp_mime_auto = ask-yes
set pgp_replyinline = no
And if one like:
# semi-automated encrypted reply to encrypted messages
# Notes:
#- this can always be disabled by PGP-menu ('p')
#- crypt_autoencrypt or crypt_replyencrypt (if set) disables
crypt_opportunistic_encrypt
set crypt_opportunistic_encrypt = yes
set crypt_autoencrypt = no
set crypt_replyencrypt = no
# whether or not display unusable (revoked, expired, disabled) keys
set pgp_show_unusable = yes
set crypt_timestamp = no
With more than one mail address I suggest:
send2-hook . 'set pgp_sign_as = ""'
send2-hook '~f "1st@example\.net$"' 'set pgp_sign_as =
"0x0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567"'
send2-hook '~f "2nd@example\.net$"' 'set pgp_sign_as =
"0xABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01"'
On my neomutt, when I press "v" to view attachments, all I can
see is text/plain. I think my neomutt does something automatic to
decrypt the messages.
Indeed, viewing attachments encrypted would break many functions
otherwise, e.g. piping, printing, saving.
My source docs I used when setting my gpg up with mutt were:
https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/wikis/MuttGuide/UseGPG
http://codesorcery.net/old/mutt/mutt-gnupg-howto
In the meantime NeoMutt != Mutt, so not to forget to mention

I actually did the change from KMail to Mutt after my KDEPIM kicked the bucket with 4.7.3. […] GPG questions […] Though I myself have set up a simple GPG key, ther is currently only one person in my list of contacts who does, too. So I don’t have any relevant experience concerning mutt+gpg besides signing my own messages, except for when I’m in certain folders, which can be achieved with: folder-hook . set pgp_autosign folder-hook +some_folder unset pgp_autosign Finally, kmail has an auto-completion feature for the recipient address and it suggests as I type the person to send to. Down arrow and enter is all that I need to press. […] Mutt also does not seem to auto-complete any addresses. It uses aliases, but that implies that I must set up such aliases and use these every time I want to enter a particular address. This creates the problem of having to remember each and every alias, rather than typing fre and getting a list of Freds, Freddies, Frederics, etc. or part of the Surname, or part of the email address itself. Mutt has a completion feature; when you enter an address, you can press ^t to trigger autocompletion. Now the trick is to get mutt to use your contacts. For that you need to install lbdb, which is a contacts management thingy, featuring a number of storage backends (almost like what akonadi was originally intended to do, lol). I simply set lbdb up to use KAddressBook’s std.vcf file and then I can query it using lbdbq. Like so: - file: ~/.lbdbrc --- METHODS=m_inmail m_vcf m_abook m_muttalias MUTT_DIRECTORY=$HOME/.mutt MUTTALIAS_FILES=aliases VCF_FILES=$HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf Now, using lbdbq, I can query the VCF file, my mutt aliases and some other stuff (inmail is an lbdb-internal database to which you can feed addresses from incoming mail, IIRC, and abook is a textbased address book I tried). In order to use lbdbq for autocompletion in mutt, add the following to muttrc: set query_command=lbdbq '%s' The other difficulty is the key shortcuts in mutt do not behave as I would like them to, but this is that something I could recode so less of a problem. Keyboard shortcuts are always a question of personal preference and of what tutorials/howtos/introductions to mutt you found, read and consider useful. For example, since I converted to vi last year, I added some shortcuts to use m and , (which are below j and k, respectively, to move the pager content up and down, whereas j and k switch messages). -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' I forbid any use of my email addresses with Facebook services.

I need a GUI client to parse 100 K of HTML that replaces 1 page of text.
These aren't just plain spammers, but businesses that I deal with regularly.
It seems that plaintext email is going the way of cursive writing.
Any suggestions for an MUA that can spit out rmail to port 25 ?
I use Most to browse e-mails & Gvim to edit replies.
If there's a link to goto an HTML version,
I R-click on the URL & choose to open it in Firefox.
If there's no link, but it's presented as HTML,
I copy-paste the URL to Firefox & open it similarly.
Mutt is so good, I'm willing to take this slight detour
rather than wade thro' the mud of a GUI client.

I startet migrating from Thunderbird to Mutt a year or two ago and it
took me a lot of searching through the interwebs re HTML.
Now I use www-client/w3m to represent HTML inline, anything fancy I open in
my main-browser. The mail is saved in a temporary directory. Pressing
'v', highlighting the 'text/html'-line an pressing 'm' does the trick.
From my .mutt/mailcap:
text/html; mkdir -p /tmp/mutt \; cp %s /tmp/mutt \; librewolf /tmp/mutt/$(basename
%s) &;
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;

Re: [gentoo-user] any gentoo mutt users?
Bingo. Mutt works great as an IMAP client (which is rather interesting because, to the best of my knowledge, mutt did not support IMAP until somewhat recently, and quite a bit after it first appeared). I personally do everything via IMAP -- no worries about switching mail clients and having to convert emails. I don't know what there is to criticize about IMAP. ;) It's infinitely better than pop for the grand majority of users. It is somewhat strange, however, that almost every mail client on the planet can scan all the mail folders available / used and let the user know if there's a new message, but mutt seems to struggle when is a very large number of (large) mailboxes. Mutt, actually, has a built-in mail checker. To use it you have to (a) use mbox format (I believe), and (b) set the mailboxes you want monitored in the .muttrc using a format similar to the one below: mailboxes +Stuff mailboxes +moreStuff This works great when I have one or two mailboxes listed. But when I set a mailboxes directive for every one of my mbox files, mutt ends up practically hanging and becoming unusable about 95% of the time. It takes about 5 minutes from executing mutt until I can start using it because it tries to download every single email to keep track of what is already there so it knows when a new message arrives so it can warn the user. I imagine I'm not the only person who has had this problem in the 14 years mutt has been around. ;) I guess that's why gbuffy and xbuffy were created in the first place. Funny how these older tools (mutt, *buffy, etc.) seem to work better than all the newer GUI tools like gnubiff, etc.). They just don't seem to make things the way they used to. ;) -j On Sun, May 3, 2009 at 6:05 AM, Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com wrote: On Sunday 03 May 2009 11:44:39 Mike Kazantsev wrote: It's certainly an alternative, however, if I can't find anything else that works.

First, let's look at what mutt *ISN'T*. It's not a singing-dancing all-inclusive integrated monstrosity. It reads email, writes email, and hands it off to your local MTA for delivery. In addition to mutt I also need getmail (or equivalant), procmail, and ssmtp (or equivalant). And the organization of my inboxes controls mutt, not visa versa. My setup here at home... I can receive email from 3 sources... my personal domain MX my Google account my ADSL ISP my emergency backup dialup account I use maildir format storage. I run a script that calls getmail for each account. getmail passes the emails to procmail, which passes the emails to the appropriate inboxes. I set up a separate inbox for each mailing last or group that I belong to. mutt reads the email. It sends to ssmtp, which is a very simplified sendmail. All it does is push the email out the door to my ISP's MTA, which does the real work. I dislike only one thing about ssmtp. It *INSISTS* on installing sendmail symlinks in 3 or 4 different locations, all pointing back to /usr/sbin/ssmtp. My most embarressing moment as a user was when a chatty daemon started sending a bunch of stuff to root@ my ISP. I did not appreciate that. After that, I tightened down what stuff gets sent where by daemons, and set up a script that wipes the symlinks. I have to rerun it after each ssmtp update. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications Hi, New mutt user here.

Re: [gentoo-user] alternative to thunderbird?
I liked Claws when I used it before. If you really want lightweight, though, try mutt, which is a terminal-based mail program that supports OpenPGP and IMAP. There is also a new option, but it is written in Ruby and is therefore not lightweight. But it is also a terminal client and allegedly is better than Mutt, at least in the eyes of those who wrote it. Ruby people ted to be hyperbolic, but it probably at least merits a try. I do not, however, remember its name.
