[OT] Mutt: how to add customized headers
Hello Mutt lovers :-) I wonder if it is possible to add a customized header field with semi- faked data on it... (yup, it sounds a bit weird...) ... Mmmm, nope, don't get me wrong, I don't want to send spam nor getting into forbidden systems ;-) I'm asking this becasue I usually use Pan newsreader for posting to mailing lists but from time to time I need to use Mutt (i.e., when I have to attach a file to a message, because Pan cannot handle attachments). In such cases (mostly replies), Mutt misses the References: header (that's normal because Mutt knows nothing about the message I posted from Pan) and I would like to keep the messages threaded. So, in brief, I would like to see a way for adding a custom References: for the outgoing messages. I have read Mutt's doc: 3.12 User defined headers http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-3.html#ss3.12 But on-the-fly header edit (Shift+E) does not work as I expected. For instance, if I add: *** References: pan.2012.01.06.17.08...@gmail.com *** And send the message, the e-mail is received with no References field at all. So, questions: 1/ Is it possible to add such customized header field or is something that goes against any RFC? O:-) 2/ Should possible, how could be done?

In-Reply-To: Header When replying to messages, the In-Reply-To: header contains the Message-Id of the message(s) you reply to. If you remove or modify its value, Mutt will not generate a References: field, which allows you to create a new message thread, for example to create a new message to a mailing list without having to enter the mailing list's address. It seems that the References: header must be generated by mutt. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I think you want In-Reply-To header. And References not? I think my messages lack that field :-? Okay, let me try it (...). Mmm, perfect, it works. Anyway, put this to ~/.muttrc set edit_headers=yes and you can edit headers in your text editor when composing a mail message. That's the same effect than Shift+E (which BTW also works when using In-Reply-To), so it seems that References is the one that fails because other e-mail headers are also retained (e.g., Message-ID). Thanks a bunch, this will keep my messages ordered in the same thread regardless the MUA :-D Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
