A hook for a separate compose window?
Hi, I would not like to reinvetn the wheel, and I am sure someone has already done this: I need a hook to have a separate compose window when composing a new message. At the same time I need to be able to view the messages in my folders (e.g. to gather some more information about the issue at hand) I browsed through a couple of example configs but couldn't find any hint for this kind of a hook. I am quite a beginner with Mutt, so help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond to my own email address, too. I am not a member on the mutt-users list.

I'm wondering how to move new mails coming from /var/spool/mail to ~/Mail?
Odd problem when bouncing a message from an IMAP server
I'm running mutt 1.1.1 on Solaris. I recently tried to 'bounce' some messages from an IMAP4 mailbox to an address which is hosted here on x-1.net. I tagged nine messages and then used ';b' to bounce them to the address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) which is hosted here. All nine messages failed with a "Message timed out" error. Just in case it was really a time out due to the number of messages and the slowness of the IMAP4 server I tried bouncing a single message but that failed with "Message timed out" too. A message sent directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the same copy of mutt works OK, it's only when the messages are bounced from the IMAP4 mailbox that this problem occurs. The bounce message is as follows:- [-- Attachment #1 --] [-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 1.4K --] Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" This report relates to your message: Subject: RE: Using POP3 on MBN Virtual Server manager, Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED], To: Chris Green [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your message was not delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the following reason: Message timed out * The following information is directed towards the local administrator * and is not intended for the end user * * DR generated by: mta UK.CO.BT * in /PRMD=UK.CO.BT/ADMD=GOLD 400/C=GB/ * at Thu, 2 Dec 1999 10:01:59 + * * Converted to RFC 822 at babelbrox.axion.bt.co.uk * at Thu, 2 Dec 1999 10:03:00 + * * Delivery Report Contents: * * Subject-Submission-Identifier: [/PRMD=UK.CO.BT/ADMD=GOLD 400/C=GB/;[EMAIL PROTECTED]] * Content-Identifier: RE: Using POP... * Original-Encoded-Information-Types: ia5-text * Content-Correlator: Subject: RE: Using POP3 on MBN Virtual Server manager, * Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED], * To: Chris Green [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Recipient-Info: [EMAIL PROTECTED], * /RFC-822=micromedia(a)isbd.net/OU=AXION/O=BT Axion/PRMD=UK.CO.BT/ADMD=GOLD 400/C=GB/; * FAILURE reason Unable-To-Transfer (1); * diagnostic Maximum-Time-Expired (5); ** End of administration information -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

There is no simple solution for this; you'll have to start a new instance of mutt, or you'll have to play a bit with postpone/reply.

Multiple Personalities
Hi, I'm trying to create multiple personalities in mutt, each with his own settings. I went through doc and man pages and I've checked several web sites, but I don't get any further. I have several e-mail addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and for example [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to be able to receive all messages to these accounts into 1 mailbox and read that mailbox with mutt. That's easy enough of course. Now when I reply to a message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the custom headers (From, Reply-To and Organization) and other settings for [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be used. When I reply to a message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want mutt to use the settings for that account. How do I set up something like that? I'm currently using several seperate accounts, which is really annoying... Can somebody send me some tips or point me to a web page? Thanks a lot!! Ray -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 2987375

What's your local character set, what do you mean by "not converted", and does your system have a character set definition file for iso-8859-15? My local character set is UTF-8, of course, so the unconverted character is replaced by the replacement character, which is a bullet with a small reverse-field question mark in it with my font. It looks as though there's something odd with my charmaps: $ grep 40 /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO-8859-15 At /x40 U0040 COMMERCIAL AT commercial-at/x40 U0040 COMMERCIAL AT @/x40 U0040 COMMERCIAL AT Oa /x40 U0040 COMMERCIAL AT $ grep 40 /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO-8859-1 At /x40 U0040 COMMERCIAL AT commercial-at/x40 U0040 COMMERCIAL AT I wanted to reproduce the problem with an unmodified mutt, just in case I've broken it in the course of my hackery, but "cvs co mutt" is doing about 1 bps at the moment ... For the UTF-8 mutt I tore the charset stuff into two parts with an API between them that is identical to the standard iconv. I didn't do anything with the code that wasn't close to the tear, so I probably haven't broken it, but I'll have another look at home and issue a full confession if it does turn out to be my fault after all.

suggestion for sender-hook
Hi, I just have a suggestion for adding some kind of "personality-hook" or "sender-hook" to Mutt. Hopefully I haven't missed anything in the documentations, if so then I apologize. Currently, clever combinations of folder-hooks, send-hooks and some other Mutt config variables can be used to achieve "multiple personality". However that implies at least one limitation, namely the need of using one folder for each "personality". And send-hooks are primarily concerned with the recipient(s) of a message, not the sender. I still find it not trivial to do this: "If I am sending the message as user@host, regardless of in which folder I am, then do this and that". Would this be useful to many people? Would it be hard to implement? Or would it just add bloats to Mutt? -- Ronny Haryanto

In an old MUA of my own design, the actual subject part of the "Subject:" line was highlighted instead of the whole line. Like so: Subject: this is the subject ^^^ this is highlighted I much prefer this as it draws your eye to the data you want to see, not the label for the data. It seems like this could be handled with regular expressions that designated how to highlight only part of the match. Like this, for example, ^Subject: ((.*))$ where the "match" is only the part of the target which matches the expression between the double parentheses. This might have other uses as as well.

send-hook not intuitive
Hi, I would like to give some comments on "send-hooks". Intuitively, when I first see the send-hook command I thought that it was a hook that is executed after the message is semi-final (no more change from the user whatsoever, but Mutt might still want to do something with it) and before being sent. (So after pressing 'y' in the compose window, and before actually sending the message to sendmail). However, later on the documentation points out that "send-hook's are only executed ONCE after getting the initial list of recipients". I don't have a problem with it being executed once, I think it should only be executed once. But I do have a problem with WHEN it is executed. So, IMHO, "compose-hook" would be a better name for this hook. Just a thought... -- Ronny Haryanto

Re: Multiple Personalities
Now when I reply to a message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the custom headers (From, Reply-To and Organization) and other settings for [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be used. Hi Raymond, Check out section 4.4 on "Using Hooks" http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html#ss4.4 Depending on your situation, hooks can be tricky. A general rule-of-thumb is to remember that hooks are "sticky". In most cases, you want to set up a default hook. Read the manual, it should help. Robert
