Re: Setting From when replying
* David DeSimone ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [000203 22:29]: What I want is for mutt to set the From: field when I reply to a message to the same address as the To: field in the original message. There is a 'reverse_name' option you can enable to do this. You will need to make sure that your 'alternates' setting matches all the different addresses you can receive mail as, so that Mutt can tell which To: lines refer to you, and which do not. Something like this should work: set alternates='^((dav|two)@abc\.com|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED])$' New challenge: My box is set with my email addr as [EMAIL PROTECTED], because that's what I want when I just get lazy and pipe things into mail, and when I reply to news postings using slrn and such. However, for mutt I want the default email to be [EMAIL PROTECTED], which I've solved by setting my_hdr From: Terje Elde [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's not normally a problem, but what happens when I want that for my default email, but I want [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I reply to emails sent to that addr? Normally my_hdr overrides any good done by reverse_name :( It's a bit strange that it gets overridden too. Group replies don't :( Terje Elde -- Xlehveh rhkau fudwuh få mydtemi dåh tk aqd rhkau jyt få kdyn (jyt == fudwuh?) PGP signature
mutt/eterm
can anyone tell me if, and how to set up mutt to be run in eterm? i was just using xterm before, but now i would like to use eterm with trans on (if possible). when i try to run mutt in eterm it gives me this message: unknown terminal: /usr/bin/Eterm check the TERM environment variable. also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. any help is greatly appreciated. -- mike irwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "...all that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream."

AFAIK $from was introduced in order to solve this problem (my_hdr overriding reverse_name).

IMAP and saving messages when read
I am using IMAP for all messages including the inbox. I want it so that whenever messages have been read in the inbox they are saved automatically to the imap directory INBOX.read I have tried setting move=yes but it doesnt move them to the folder on the IMAP server, I have even changed it to sent it to a local folder same result. I have also tried to use mbox-hook Can anyone explain what im doing wrong? Thanks Simon Atack

Write the email message into a text file email.txt and $ mutt -s subject recip1 recip2 recip3 ... email.txt $ mutt -s subject -a attachment.file recip5 recip6 recip7 ... email.txt I can't think of a way to do all recipients with just one single command.
Re: Regular Expressions Question
Does "{,m}" mean "{0,m}" or "{1,m}"? I don't know; I haven't looked at
the source to tell.
I would assume (from my understanding of English) that it should be
"{0,m}". If not, the manual shoould be changed to reflect this.

index is reversed on :source .muttrc
I'm wondering if this is a bug or something. I am sorting my index by threads/reverse-date-received, and any time I source my .muttrc the order of my index (message list) is reversed. If I re-read the mailbox (c ! for example) the listing returns to normal. Is it supposed to do this?
Re: mutt/eterm
How about setting: export TERM=xterm prior to running Mutt?

search order in 'mailboxes'
I've specified my 'mailboxes' in my .muttrc, and when using 'c' to change mailboxes, mutt (v.1.0) always defaults to the _first_ mailbox with new mail. Is there a way to make the default the _next_ mailbox instead? i.e. mailboxes = 'a b c d e' I read all the mail in 'a', 'b', and 'c'. While reading 'c', new mail arrives in 'a'. When I use the c key to changes mailboxes, mutt will default back to 'a', whereas I would like it to check for new mail in 'd', 'e', and only after that go back to 'a'.

Re: Problem verifying gpg signatures with pgp

I know I had problems verifying signatures for a while, but the problem was intermittent and ultimately turned out to be related to a procmail bug and a line in my signature file. :-/ Yah pretty much. I am using qmail for my MTA and procmail for my MDA, but I'm not using any "recipes" at all. Just normal delivery to /var/spool/mail/. Strange how the PGP sigs are verifiable by both GPG and PGP, yet the GPG sigs can only be verified by GPG. There must be something more than meets the eye happening. :) Shouldn't be a GPG bug because making a sig from the shell works fine. I guess I'll have to look at the arguments Mutt sends to GPG and start changing them one by one until I find out which one breaks it. Will post to the list once I figure it out of course. :) Thanks.
Re: send-hook, multiple hooks in one line?

PGP/MIME and other mail clients...
Sigh... I have to say, I've been discovering PGP/MIME to be quite a problem. :-( There has to be something which can be done about this. Here are problems I've encountered: 1) PGP/MIME signed documents don't work well with Outlook Express. In particular, it seems to think the plaintext has to be viewed as an attachment. 2) PGP/MIME support in basically ALL the windows mail clients out there is shoddy at best. I still haven't found one that will properly recognize a message as PGP/MIME, decode an encrypted message and then validate the signature. 3) PGP/MIME seems to cause some e-mail clients (in particular Eudora) to crash upon opening. I have no idea what the deal is with this. 4) Getting a windows e-mail client which can SEND PGP/MIME is next to impossible... no wait, it is impossible. ;-) This makes using PGP/MIME almost impossible. 5) I'm getting weird cases where a lot of mailers are claiming my PGP signatures are invalid... regardless of whether I use PGP/MIME or if I use encrypt sign all inline. 6) When windows eudora people read my PGP/MIME e-mails from Mutt, they claim the end-of-line character isn't working... it seems almost like it's all decoding to a Unix "\n" instead of "\r\n". The whole thing is that PGP is complicated enough by itself. When you add in all these other problems, it makes it almost impossible for most people to use. The success of things like PGP largely depends on how convenient it is for people to do things the right way. So, I guess I have two questions: 1) what can be done to improve upon the situation, and 2) if anyone else has had similar problems to mine, how did they get around them? --Chris PGP signature
