How to change enviornment variables while in mutt
Hi, I basically need to be able to alter QMAILHOST, QMAILUSER and QMAILNAME to change the appearence of out going mail. No amount of header altering overwrites those variables. I tried using set signature="~/profiles/user1|" but that didn't work. I figured it was due to the shell script only setting the varibles for that shell and not the shell I am using. I tried using set signature="'source ~/profiles/user1|'" but it complains about being unable to find source (its a bash shell command). So does anyone have any solutions to this tricky problem. I am using folder-hooks to use the set variable.

Save, but don't delete.
Hi. What's the best way of telling mutt that when I save a message that I don't want it to mark it as deleted? I'm most interested in setting this per folder. Short of perhaps rebinding "s" such that it does a toggle-unlink before save-message within a folder-hook (if that's even possible) is there a better way? Thanks. Scott

Re: GPG problem
Thanks for telling me where to get gpg-2comp from, but it doesn't solve the problem. As far as I can tell, gpg-2comp is for PGP-compatibility. I'm only using GPG.

The other tricky thing I found out is that you _must_ set pgp_strict_enc or your GPG key will not verify. It defaults to set, but naturally can be overridden. One sample muttrc out there overrides it to unset... With GPG you'll want the sha1 micalg. -- Matt

Re: How to change enviornment variables while in mutt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Wed, 16 Feb 2000: Hi, I basically need to be able to alter QMAILHOST, QMAILUSER and QMAILNAME to change the appearence of out going mail. No amount of header altering overwrites those variables. Create a wrapper shell script which sets the variables and then calls qmail-inject (or the qmail sendmail wrapper if you prefer that). That's the only way to change those environment variables from the values that they had when Mutt started. I tried using set signature="~/profiles/user1|" but that didn't work. I figured it was due to the shell script only setting the varibles for that shell and not the shell I am using. That is correct. The settings don't affect the environment that Mutt runs in. There is no way, that I know of, to change environment variables of a process from a sub-process. So that approach can't really work. So does anyone have any solutions to this tricky problem. I am using folder-hooks to use the set variable. Well, look above. However, I think there's an easier way than using QMAILHOST, QMAILUSER and QMAILNAME. The qmail-inject man page says that if a From header is supplied, it is *not* overwritten by default. So it would be simpler to just specify the From you want in Mutt, and not worry about the environment variables at all. If your From header is getting overwritten, then the only reason that can happen as far as I can tell is that you also have the variable QMAILINJECT containing a "f". Remove that to get rid of the rewriting. If you require that for something else, you may just create a wrapper script for Mutt that unsets the variable for Mutt sessions only. In any case, I suggest man qmail-inject, it's good reading. Hope this helps, Mikko PS.
