Suresh. I have created a gzip file oldlih.gz ( tar -zcvf oldlih nov2000 ). The new
/etc/Muttrc has got the following additional hooks for compressed folders :
# gzip
open-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t"
close-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t > %f"
append-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f"
#
# bzip2
open-hook \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -cd %f > %t"
close-hook \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -c %t > %f"
append-hook \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -c %t >> %f"
But when I try to access this oldlih.gz I am getting the message for a split second
decompressing oldlih.gz and than the mutt bar displays the message no mailbox. What's
wrong ?
I have even tried adding the above hooks in my ~/.mutt/muttrc. Same thing happens.
