suggestion on mutt's manual
Hi, I'd like to suggest that from now on, whenever a new command/variable is added to mutt, the version number be reflected in mutt's manual accordingly, like this: 6.3 Configuration variables subscribe (version 1.1 and up) blah blah blah ... While mutt's manual (esp. the one on www.mutt.org) should always be concurrent with the latest version, people who use an older version but new to mutt may be less confused this way.

Local/GMT Time Sorting/Displaying
By default (I think, I made my .muttrc quite a while ago but I think this is how it works by default). By default, mutt displays message Date: headers as they are entered on the remote side. It also uses this value for the "Jan XX" part of the index. On many mailing lists, people are in differant time zones, and this causes some undesirable effects. What I would like to have is: * All message Date: headers displayed in local machine time (C[DS]T) * Date part of message index displayed in local machine time * Messages sorted by theyre local dates, no more priority given to aussies and such =) Can mutt do this? -- Jeremy M.

That's a lot easier than rewriting the Date: header based on the [latest] Received: header...

PGP and batch mode
Hi all, I would like to be able to PGP (actually, gpg) sign messages sent from the command line in batch mode. Yes, I know this has its inherent security problems, but it does have its uses -- namely, making email from a daemon that much harder to spoof. I can do this by having gpg generate a "--clearsign" file, and inserting the appropriate "Content-Type:" header. However, I'd like to do this the "right" way with a detached mime signature, the way mutt does it when invoked interactively. Is there a way to feed the gpg password to mutt in batch-mode?

Mutt displays headers as they are, aside from MIME decoding, so I don't
think there's a way to do that without changing the source. However,
you could add the local version of the time to $pager_format.
* Date part of message index displayed in local machine time
Change the squigly braces ({}) to square brackets ([]) in $index_format.
* Messages sorted by theyre local dates, no more priority given to
aussies and such =)
This is the default (actually they're sorted by GMT time, but the result
is the same). AFAIK, there isn't a way to sort by sender's local time.

Re: switching to mutt from Outlook
Eudora breaks atatchments from the messages and keeps them in a directory. Each mailbox has an index file which keeps tracks of what belongs to what. Apologies to he to whome I replied by accident instead of this list. Quoting Jon Walthour [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There is another option, as well. Get a copy of Eudora (not Eudora Lite) and convert them through there. I did this some time ago. So, I don't remember all the details. But Eudora (and I just downloaded a trial version rather than buying it) will convert the Outlook .pst to standard mail format which is what Mutt reads. -- Darrin Mison -- Bernard Shaw is an excellent man; he has not an enemy in the world, and none of his friends like him either. -- Oscar Wilde

Mutt cannot rewrite the date header or any other headers when

Change "%{%b %d}" to "%[%b %d]" in the default index_format string
and you see the send time of the messages converted to your local
time zone.

You can sort by send time or receive time, but the times are always
converted to the same time zone before sorting so that come in true
chronology if their time stamps are reliable.

ANNOUNCE: getmail v.0.94, a 'fetchmail' replacement
Slightly off-topic (flames in private mail, please), but applicable to
mutt:
getmail 0.94 is now available from
http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail/
getmail is intended as a simple replacement for fetchmail, for those who
don't need all of its various features, configuration options, and bugs.
It retrieves mail only from POP3 servers, and delivers reliably to Maildirs.
mbox delivery has been added as of v.0.94.
It is written in Python and released under the GPL version 2.
It can retrieve all mail, or only unread messages, from an unlimited number
of POP3 mailboxes on one or more POP3 servers. Configuration and usage is
straightforward and simple. getmail does not yet support delivery to
different users per message from a single POP3 mailbox ('domain mailbox'
or 'multidrop mailbox').
Any questions, feedback, etc, is greatly appreciated, but should be done
in private email.

I would like to to reply to an incoming mail using the TO: field of the mail that I received in my header FROM:. I need this because I have many address mail on several mail server, and I fetch the mails on my local user. Ok, you want to use $reverse_name. I've tried with this one: send-hook '~t ^mat@antwerpen\.com$' 'my_hdr From: `~f`' That won't work, ~f is a pattern match operator, not a variable. And secondly, you unfortunately can't mix use of $reverse_name with a "my_hdr From: ..." command, the my_hdr takes precedence and the $reverse_name effect gets ignored. (There is a solution for this in the developement branch version of Mutt, but if you don't need to use "my_hdr From:" for anything else then you can ignore that, and just not use "my_hdr From:" at all.) set reverse_name# reply as the user to whom the mail was sent to This is what you want. If it doesn't work, make sure you don't have any "my_hdr From:" definitions. Also, be sure to make sure your alternates setting is correct. (I'm not sure if that's needed for $reverse_name, but it's a good idea to have it set up properly anyway.) For example, this is (part of) what I use: set alternates=^([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|mikko@.*dna.fi)$ set reply_self # If unset and you are replying to a message sent # by you, Mutt will assume that you want to reply # to the recipients of that message rather # than to yourself. You probably want to actually have "unset reply_self", which is the default. This is mostly useful when you're looking at an email you sent yourself (for example, in a =sent-mail folder) and want to send an email to all the people you originally emailed, but comment on what you yourself wrote. If you have $reply_self unset, you can hit just "r" to do that, provided your alternates setting is correct. Hope this helped, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.
