 At least _i_ am interested in it since I tried to build mutt-0.95.6-3
 from the Debian sources (unstable) and had exactly the same problem.

This could be interesting.

Here I could build mutt-0.95.6-1 without problems (Debian 2.1/2.2) but
the keymap-defs.h file wasn't built automatically under Irix.

The configure-options for Debian:
--prefix=/usr --with-sharedir=/usr/share/mutt \
--sysconfdir=/etc --disable-fcntl --enable-pop --enable-imap \
--with-slang --with-regex --enable-flock --enable-exact-address\
--enable-compressed --with-catgets

There is a seg-fault if LANG  C and --with-included-gettext.

The configure-options for Irix:
--enable-pop --enable-imap --enable-flock --disable-fcntl \
--disable-nls --enable-compressed

Shade and sweet water!

Mutt is pgp5-, pgp2-, and gpg-capable and knows the differences between

Check out manual.txt for pgp settings and PGP-Notes.txt for general pgp 
info...

% Also another question: Is it possible to encrypt

Theoretically, yes; you need the public key of every subscriber in your
ring and you somehow make a small note to pgp to use all of them even
though you're only sending to one list address.  Practically, no, since
that collection can be pretty tough to get and it would be a pain to tell
pgp about the large bunch.  A nice middle ground might be to have a bogus
public/private key pair for the list itself, where all list holders have a
copy of the private key and anyone can use the public key for encryption,
but that would soon leak beyond the list and be hardly worth the bother.

Still, it's an interesting concept...  Perhaps the public keys of
each subscriber could be registered with the list management software,
which would use a much less bogus private key to decrypt (in batch mode
without human intervention -- warning! -- or *with* interaction at the
cost of the list owner's time) and then recrypt messages for posting,
so that anyone posting needs only one public key (the list's), and could
in fact not even encrypt the submission but just let the list software
encrypt the original plaintext when it broadcasts it.  That's probably
a lot of work for the server, though, especailly for a large list.

My guess is inertia; it's installed and has been for years, while pgp5
perhaps isn't and definitely hasn't, and it encrypts within the message
instead of using this "new-fangled MIME stuff" (and we know how much the
average user, who doesn't understand a man page, likes to read RFCs).

People have  sent you answers,  but  it depends  on the politics  of the list.
Unfortunately  in some countries encrypted   email is illegal.  Practically, I
think that if you grabbed, say, the mutt public key  ring (it's available, but
incomplete), and told pgp  to encrypt a message to  everyone on that ring, pgp
would produce an encrypted  copy for everyone  on the  ring  and cat them  all
together, so  the message that  gets  sent to the   list would be hundreds  or
thousands  of times larger than the  original.  The  mailing list server would
have  to send it to  a corresponding number  of people,  which  would be quite
nasty.  The one key for the list idea gets around that, though.

 P.S. What's the deal with version 2.6.3i of PGP ? Why are a lot of people

Because PGP 2.6.3i works, and PGP 5 is bloatware.

Hi...

I have just downloaded mutt 0.96.3. Compiled it successfully with PGP 5i.
I put this on my ~/.muttrc:

set pgp_autosign
set pgp_replysign
set pgp_sign_as="0x3C452459"
source ~/.mutt_pgp5rc

~/.mutt_pgp5rc is the same as pgp5.rc file found on mutt's source contrib
directory.

Whenever I try to sign a message, I get this:
-u option requires a userid argument

And PGP just doesn't sign the message.

Can somebody tell me how to overcome this situation?

PGP encrypt mail from command line

1999-07-15 Thread Christian Stigen Larsen

Fellow Mutt-fans:

I want to be able to PGP encrypt and send mail
to a recipient from the command line.

In .muttrc I've

set pgp_autoencrypt

I try:

mutt -s "hi there" [EMAIL PROTECTED]  plain_textfile

This doesn't work, the plain_textfile arrives as plain
text instead of PGP encrypted.

I've made sure that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is in the public keyring.

This works fine (without prompting for passwords) when
I send my mail using the mutt interface, but I'd really
like to be able to do this by command line.

If not I would have to use _expect_ for sending encryptet
mail automatically. Surely this must be possible ?

Good point(s).  For me it was elm that was there to use, so switching to
Mutt when I found it was just a logical upgrade.

A lot of the pro-Pine comments were "I can use it with telnet", which
obviously is not something just Pine has (duh).  So if it's just inertia
(and we care), then maybe some advocacy needs to be done.

 Maybe we should point out other areas where mutt is superior over
 other MUAs and make them publicly available.

I've got some stuff like this on the web page -- it seems to me that people
need to first hear about Mutt and be curious enough to look into it, and
when that happens they will go to the web page.  I'm always open to
suggestions for the site.  As for getting people to look if there is a
better console mailer out there than they have, I dunno.  Pine does a lot
of stuff in bad ways but people tend to not realize it's bad ways until
they see it done right.  "You never miss what you never know."

One advantage though is that people that care about the kind of issues Mutt
excels in (size, configurability, standards compliance) are not going to be
happy with something else and *are* likely to go looking.

If it's advocacy you want, release pre-compiled binaries for W32 and/or

 88x31 seems to be a common size for such things, but I've seen them
 a little bigger.  SETI@Home's is 90x32, for example.

I found one on somebody's site, I think Sven's, but I'm not 100% sure
(I'm sure somebody will pipe up and correct me if I'm wrong). Anyways,
it's 90x36 (though I use tags to shrink it smaller). A direct link to
it is http://www.lehigh.edu/~ajl4/buttons/mutt.button.gif

Sven has one on his site, so does Brandon Long; I dunno who originally had
it.  There are also several versions of the 'little dog running around' bar
out there.

I don't go for unnecessary images that bloat pages, but these two are
prolly worth working in...

 88x31 seems to be a common size for such things, but I've seen them
 a little bigger.  SETI@Home's is 90x32, for example.

Sven's is bigger than that but I'll prolly play with resizing it down to
88x31.

Here's something else I may work in (with the author's permission) ...
found it in the /. comments:

Ode to Mutt by Trick ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

When I'm stuck, or in a rut, Or been dumped by some worthless slut;
My boss has made me bust a nut, Or I've got stress pains in my gut;
Some aliens have probed my butt, Or I've just had my jaw wired shut;
I've got a nasty paper cut, Or anchovies from Pizza Hut;
I've missed an easy golfing putt, Or feel as dead as old King Tut;
I still stand proud, my jaw I jut, I don't have much, but I have mutt.
Yay mutt.

Thanks to the ones who answered,

I tried using cat as the $sendmail in muttrc but it didn't work

So as my mailserver is qmail, I sent the message to a false user and get it back from 
his mailbox

It works for what I wanted, so...


Thanks to everybody !

A good idea that is.  Maybe there will even be something like a
constest, but then there should be something to win... don't know.
But for sure an _official_ mutt logo is IMHO very important and i will
be happily one of those to put it on his webpage.  IMHO it's also
important that it's just _one official_ logo instead of several more
or less unofficial ones.

 Why is it so important that Mutt be #1 on a Slashdot poll?
 Just curious.

It isn't at all.  Mostly we were talking about people using other mailers
(like Pine) not because they liked the features the most but out of
inertia.  As I said, *if we care*, there are things we could try to do
about this.  If we don't care, we ignore it.

IMHO that's one of the great things about the site as well as mutt
itself. I visit the page for the information on it and I want it as
fast as possible.

If, however, everybody is _so_ excited about fancy images, logos and
frames, I would apreciate it if a lynx-friendly version was maintained
as well.

Thankfully,

 I get the impression, though, that a lot of "the faithful" don't read /.
 much since the s/n ratio got so bad.  Most of the comments seem to be
 newbies.  The informal survey of mail headers done a while back by someone
 on this list may be more telling of use among Mutt's "target" user base.

i made a quick grep | awk | sort | uniq -c ... survey on a few of my
maillist archives:

shortcommings: 
i used the following line to count the header:
grep X-Mailer: listfile | awk '{ print $1, $2 }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n 
that is the header is cut of after the first word, so Windows,
Internet and others may be different mailers counted as the same

pine does not use the X-Mailer: header, so i had
to revert to the Message-ID, which fortunately starts with Pine

people who post more are overrepresented...

below the counts i list how many of the headers where actually found,
to help you relativize the numbers a bit...
