Re: patch problem
According to Robert Chien: Don't know how to fix it though, I had to apply the patch manually (luckily, it was a short one :). I'm not a developer, but I would certainly like to know the solution as well. Can you do a "ident" or "what" on your patch binary ? I wonder which version of patch they took for Solaris7. Methinks they managed to take a version w/o unified diff support... Larry Wall stopped maintaining patch a least 8 years ago, Jim Kingdon, David J.

Re: pgp signatures
Rejo dixit: ++ 12.03.1999, 17:45:14 (+0100) = [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I most times see pgp signed messages as an attachment in mutt, though others I see the signatures in the body of the messages. Why and how's this difference? How can one and another been achieved? This is because the PGP signature is a part of the MIME message [1]. Don't know how to explain MIME, but it is, iirc, a way to add the attachments to an email. MIME messages have always these special MIME headers telling the mailer where which part is starting. The message text is one of these parts (text/plain i think) and the signature is another part (pgp/application i guess). If you would like to have it the normal way round you can do it by hand. Write the message, sign it manually and insert this signed text into the message you're composing. I don't know if what you suggest would fiddle with the signature and then produce a bad sig. Is there no other way to choose between an attached signature and a text signed message with mutt? Please, could anyone send to me the variables that need to be added in ~/.muttrc for mutt-i to work with pgp versions 2.6.3i and 5.0i, and with gpg altogether? (or, a muttrc file with all of them) TIA Horacio.

Is there no other way to choose between an attached signature and a text signed message with mutt? No, it wouldn't produce a bad signature. You can sign any text you want. You'll have to give 'pgp -sa file' command (when using 2.6.3) and it'll sign this file. You can insert this file in the message you want to sent and there will no problems [1]. Anyone with pgp can check this signature. But again, for creating non-MIME messages with a signed body (and therefor having the signature and the signed text in one part) you'll have to do it yourself manually... Someone correct me if i'm wrong. I haven't been using Mutt for a long time... -Rejo. [1] The signature will be correct. However, if the reciepent is using Mutt as well, Mutt will not recognize this signature unless (s)he is using a procmail filter to add the missing headers (the headers MIME uses to tell that the next part is signed). -- = SISTER RAY [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] / REJO [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] = PGP: DSS B20D35F8, RSA FAE40065; finger [EMAIL PROTECTED], keyservers = Subscribe to Live Local, more info at http://mediaport.org/~sister

Also, where does sendmail find a value for 'Full-Name'? Can this be set in muttrc? ...and finally... Should hostname be set up as a fully qualified domain name?

What I do is to change the $sendmail vars to point to a shell script, which does the post-processing I want, and then itself invokes the sendmail(8) program. Eg, in my .muttrc I have: set sendmail="sendmail.startup -t -oi -oem" set sendmail_bounce="sendmail.startup -oi -oem" and sendmail.startup looks something like: #!/bin/sh # tfile1="/tmp/foo$$.1" tfile2="/tmp/foo$$.2" sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail" # Make a copy of the email from stdin, for grep'ing and sed'ing, or # whatever ... # touch $tfile1 $tfile2 # ensure that the temp chmod 0600 $tfile1 $tfile2 # files are private cat $tfile1 ## ## Post-process the outbound message ($tfile1) here; the result should ## end up in $tfile2. ## # And send the message off ... # cat $tfile2 | $sendmail "$@" rm $tfile1 $tfile2 exit # ##--eof--## It would be nice if mutt had a *real* send-hook (in addition to the existing ill-named form), which could be specified on a per-message basis, but I haven't implemented such a thing, since the post-processing that I do is relatively limited, and easy enough to fob off to the script.

I doubt this is a straightforward way to handle this. I still
believe that calling ispell without any arguments hardcoded into
mutt is the way to go. There is /etc/Muttrc or ~/.muttrc to
handle this.
