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

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`? macro index m |screen mutt %s Or something along those lines?

Can screen be used remotely or something? Yes, you can detach the session and logout / login from another console and retach the session... I'm using this for my IRC client, not for mutt, though And more importantly I'm on a Solaris box! :-) No virtual consoles here.
Re: IMAP blues
JT Williams [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: -: set envelope_from Ok, that did the trick. Thanks! Well, maybe I spoke too soon. It's true that the list servers I was having problems with are now recognizing me, but our SysAdmin tells me there are still problems (see his explanation below). Is this really a problem? I'd like to keep using mutt/IMAP if I could TIA/jtw --- MUTT seems to use normal sendmail channels to send messages rather than connecting directly to the IMAP server. We run in a full IMAP environment (/var/mail is not mounted to client machines and clients do not run sendmail daemon). This results in the sender's address being set to user@localhost regardless of what MUTT settings are changed. The final header shows the sender's address as being from the workstation MUTT was running on rather than the mail server. In this respect, it behaves exactly like "mailx". It looks like you use Sun's sendmail. So here's what I would do to fix your problem. (If this isn't Sun's Sendmail then check out sendmail.org, but the process is almost esactly the same.) # /usr/lib/mail/cf # cp imain-v7sun.mc darwin.mc # vi darwin.mc (or use your favorite editor) add the following lines above the FEATURE lines. MASQUERADE_AS(darwin.sfbr.org) MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(darwin.sfbr.org) FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain) FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) add this line after the FEATURES lines. define(`SMART_HOST', `mailhost.$m') and change `mailhost.$m` to the fully qualified name of your IMAP server. Once that is done, save dawin.mc and use m4 to redo the sendmail.cf file. # pwd /usr/lib/mail/cf # /usr/ccs/bin/m4 ../m4/cf.m4 darwin.mc darwin.cf then try darwin.cf, if all is well copy it over to /etc/mail as sendmail.cf.
