Hi mutters,
a couple of days ago I sent a question related to sender profiles.
Thanks to Mikko, I managed to make a working configuration.
The best part of it is that you can include pretty much
anything in the profile and you can also assign profiles
with certain addresses using send-hooks. There are still a
couple of minor problems left, but here is the solution.
1) add something like this to your muttrc:
#
# Profiles
# (defined in separate files)
#
# default
source ~/.mutt/profile.default
# macros to invoke a profile
macro index <F1> ":source ~/.mutt/profile.default\n" "Load default profile"
macro index <F2> ":source ~/.mutt/profile.personal\n" "Load profile: personal"
# You can still use send-hooks to automatically choose a profile!
send-hook ([EMAIL PROTECTED])$ \
"source ~/.mutt/profile.personal\n"
2) create the profiles, here are the two examples from above
profile.default:
---
# Mutt profile: default
# From, Reply-To, Fcc, Bcc, Pgp sign-key, attribution, signature etc.
set locale=""
set signature='~/.signature'
set indent_string="> " # Quoting mails with this string.
set attribution='On %{%a, %d %b %Y}, %n wrote:\n'
set post_indent_string="" # Footer (after quotes, before signature).
# Pretty Good Privacy (PGP):
set pgp_sign_as="0x0000000" # UserID/KeyID for signing
set nopgp_autoencrypt
set nopgp_autosign
# Customized headers
unmy_hdr * # remove all extra headers first.
my_hdr From: Martti Rahkila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
my_hdr Reply-To: Martti Rahkila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
#my_hdr Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#my_hdr Organization: org
# Fcc stuff
fcc-hook . "=sent"
---
profile.personal
---
# Mutt profile
# From, Reply-To, Fcc, Bcc, Pgp sign-key, attribution, signature etc.
# Settings for personal mail (in Finnish)
set signature='fortune|' # get the signature from fortune program
set locale=fi_FI
set indent_string="> " # Quoting mails with this string.
set attribution='\n%n kirjoitti %{%Ana, %d. %Bta %Y}:\n'
set post_indent_string=";-)" # Footer (after quotes, before signature).
# Pretty Good Privacy (PGP):
set pgp_sign_as="0x11111111" # UserID/KeyID for signing
set pgp_autoencrypt
set pgp_autosign
# Customized headers
unmy_hdr * # remove all extra headers first.
my_hdr From: Martti Rahkila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
my_hdr Reply-To: Martti Rahkila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
#my_hdr Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#my_hdr Organization: org
# Fcc stuff, does this need to be hook?
fcc-hook . "=sent.personal"
---
3) Check that muttrc doesn't contain any of the profile definitions,
I noticed that muttrc defaults and/or send-hooks will override
some of these! (Should it do that?)
4) start mutt and enjoy!
When you want to send someone a message using your personal profile,
press F2 to load profile (possibly do ^F before that, if you've
used a different PGP key earlier!).
This was tested with mutt 1.0.1 on linux.
Known problems/questions:
- Is there a way to include a message on the status bar with a macro?
In this case it would be nice have something like "Loaded profile: personal"
(Now it's pretty difficult to remember which profile is active)
- what would be an elegant way to include "forget-passphrase" command
either in the macro or the profile?
- the problems mentioned in step 3
Have fun,
