imap folders index
i connect to my IMAP server that has ~8 folders, the thing is that right now i have to go through all the folders every few minutes to check if there is any new mail in one of them. is there a solution for that so mutt like displays a message that folder X has a new mail... or is there some imap folder index which shows the read/unread count ? ( oh and it would be cool if you can make mutt execute a command when a new mail arrives ) regards, bernhard valenti

Procmail runs on my inbound mail on a machine colocated about 20,000km away from the place that I read my mail. It would need to be a particularly loud and obnoxious "you have mail" for me to hear it :) In general, if you're using IMAP, I think it's unlikely that the MDA is running on the same host as mutt. I would also be interested to know if it's possible to tell mutt to check a list of IMAP folders periodically. If not, this would be a useful addition, I think. Joe PGP signature
Re: GPG scripting for muttrc

The new GPG installed well, but I cannot get is % properly scripted (for a lack of knowledge) in my muttrc file. Hmmm... How so, I wonder? Or are you, as was I, just baffled and too nervous to get started? :-) % % Can someone help, or point me in the right direction for a sample % script on line? Could not find any references in the sample rc files % on line. Charles Curley would say that it all works right out of the box, but I didn't believe him when I first tried it. All in all, though, he's quite right :-) Check your tarball's contrib dir for a gpg.rc file; copy that file into your ~/.mutt (or wherever you have your muttrc files; if you have only one as ~/.muttrc, you might want to call this ~/.muttrc.gpg or some such). Source this file somewhere in your muttrc (more on that later). You may want to make a few changes; I did. I had to get rid of the gpg-2comp "arg" in each of the pgp_* command definitions since I don't have that; IIRC, that is how you get gpg to generate sigs/crypts that are compatible with pgp2 instead of pgp5 and up. That was about it, though, thanks to some changes in my gpg options file. And, so, ... On to your gpg options file, found as ~/.gnupg/options. This is generated automatically the first time you run gpg, so run it once and then fire up your editor. You very well might want to set your default-key and encrypt-to settings; the former is obvious, but you will note that setting the latter to your keyid will ensure that you can read any message you send out (by also encrypting the message to your public key). [You can now save a cleartext fcc instead, and that would not only make your sent messages smaller but also keep your keyid out of them, but this is what worked for me; I want my local copy encrypted.] You'll probably want to set no-greeting and even no-secmem-warning if your gpg is not installed sgid; after all, you know by now that it is using insecure memory :-) Hokay, then; back to your muttrc file. If you were using pgp with a mutt before 1.x (as I was), then you'll have some cleaning to do; the old vars pgp_encryptself, pgp_v2, pgp_v5, pgp_gpg, and pgp_default_version are gone now (and that first one is why you want to set your encrypt-to option; it's also easier than specifying the extra recipient in all of the encrypt commands in gpg.rc). Anyway, you'll know that all is well if you fire up mutt and it doesn't tell you about bad variables! Once you have your muttrc sourcing gpg.rc (this is handy not only because it unclutters your muttrc but also because you can use a single hook to then source any encryption rc file; maybe you want to use pgp2 when trading mail with person X but gpg otherwise...) successfully, you should be able to send signed and/or encrypted email pretty painlessly. You can now even send old-style signatures; setting "pgp_create_traditional" causes mutt to use pgp_clearsign_command instead of pgp_sign_command :-) % % Thanks for your help, HTH HAND % % Regards, % Gary :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!

My friend uses PGP 6.x and The Bat. Unfortunately Mutt doesn't recognize that a message from him is signed. There is a recipe in the FAQ, but it doesn't work in this case. The recipe begins with: :0 * !^Content-Type: message/ * !^Content-Type: multipart/ * !^Content-Type: application/pgp In his mails the are headers like this: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--6B13520415787970" That's why procmail doesn't send the mail to reformat.

Just use the documented "mailboxes" command:

Some small problems...
Hi,
I am a new Mutt user (just a few days). Sven tried to convince me to
switch from Elm time ago on comp.mail.elm, but I was using HP-UX at the
time and had a few problems, now that I switched to Linux I tried again
with a lot more success. But I still have a few problems that the
docs/FAQ didn't resolve, I hope someone can help.
I am using mutt 1.2.4i on a RedHat 6.1 using KDE and Konsole as a
terminal. I installed it with the RPM found in mutt.linuxatwork.at
For some reason the end key doesn't work, all the other keys, home,
PageUp PageDown, etc work but end doesn't. I tried to put a
bind pager \e[F bottom
which is what comes out with ^V in vi but it doesn't work either. Is this
a known problem in Mutt/Konsole/KDE/X ? Or did I do something wrong?
How do you get back to the spoolfile from another mailbox? As an Elm
user I tried "c !" and it works (and afterwards I found it in the doc)
but the Help lists it as "shell escape". Shouldn't it be listed in the
Help line at the bottom or at least when you invoke "?" at the "folders"
screen? Same thing for "" that change to the "record" mailbox, while
"" doesn't seem to work as it tries to move to ~/mbox even if I set it
to a different file (unless I did something wrong).
In the help there is also a definition for Tab as:
"toggle-mailboxes" toggle whether to browse mailboxes or all files
but I can't understand what it means as I use Tab from the "Open
mailbox ('?' for list):" prompt to open the folders list (at that moment
"?" is listed both as "Help" and "list") and pressing Tab again brings
me back to the last mailbox opened.
Another thing: aliases. Is there a way to define a new alias without
having a message from that address? Or the only way is editing the
proper file? Or maybe what I am supposed to do is press "a" on any
message and then delete what comes up and fill in with what I want the
alias to be? Not exactly the easiest thing. And there is a way of
opening the alias list without starting a new message and pressing TAB
at the "To:" prompt?
Thanks for the Help.
Ciao,
GianPiero

Since I am in "that other OS" now, I can send you a signed PGP file of PGP 6.3 in The Bat! so that you can see the headers. The Bat! uses two types of PGP structuring. It has it's own internal PGP which only enables RSA type of encryption. You can use your own PGP flavor and have the program just point or path to it, and it will automatically use that newer external PGP and keyrings, etc. I do not know why it uses that form in the headers, but I can surely write to the programmers with respect to it, or on the Beta list, to see what develops. In reading your email in The Bat!, your signature is seen as an attachment (called "message.att) and not in-line with the message, which means one has to open it up separately.

OK, you asked for it...
rant
Various terminal control sequences, including the ones that the terminal
sends to the program on various key presses, are described in the
terminfo database (distributed with ncurses). The program knows what
type of terminal you have by checking the $TERM variable.
This is a nice and clever system. Unfortunatelly, very often the
database and the actual terminal control sequences get out of sync.
This is due to the sad fact, that different versions of a terminal
program and even different kinds of them often advertise themselves with
the same $TERM value ("xterm" is the most popular), but send and
interpret quite different control sequences. Besides, even the same
version of the same program can be compiled with different #defines and
have various configuration files that change the control sequences, but
terminfo description stays the same.
The result is a mess. I've yet to see a single Linux distribution which
doesn't need terminfo hacking for all keys to be recognised correctly in
all terminal emulators (things usually work fine in the Linux console...
except the notorious Backspace/Delete issue). I admit that I haven't
seen much of them (only different versions of Slackware, Red Hat and
Mandrake).
All keys work for me now. This is because I spent weeks configuring
Eterm: hacking its terminfo, playing with configure options and various
#defines, and sending bug reports to the author (which was quick to
respond, thanks, Michael). It took so long mostly because I was doing
it by trial and error, and had to learn about this terminfo thing and
how it works. I think I could fix a broken[1] terminfo entry in a
couple of minutes now:
$ infocmp $TERM $TERM.ti
$ vi $TERM.ti
(with a couple of shells to do `man terminfo')
$ tic $TERM.ti
---
[1] It's hard to say which is broken -- the terminfo entry, or the
terminal program, which doesn't correctly emulate the terminal described
in terminfo. But it is easier to change the terminfo entry than the
program.

But the rule that prevents this from happening with multipart messages is necessary, because the modification that is done by that rule will prevent mutt (or any MUA) from dealing with multipart messages. So, it's a tradeoff: - Do you want automatic signature checking, but need to go through some fairly complex steps to get at attachments. - Or do you want to be able to actually use attachments right from in mutt, with manual signature checking being fairly easy.

marking messages and multiple accounts/personalities
Hi I like mutt, but haven't found out how to do 2 things. Maybe they're just staring right at me but I haven't found them. Any pointers or suggestions welcome. THING 1 - - Where do I look to find out about marking a bunch of messages that the same thing should happen to. For instance, let's say I want to copy several contiguous or non-contiguous messages to another folder. How do I do that? THING 2 - - And where should I look about having multiple personalities within the same reader? For instance, I have POP3 and IMAP4 accounts and I when I'm in my POP3 personality, I want to see the POP3 folders and have the right return address on outgoing mail. Likewise, with the IMAP4 stuff, I want the folders and addressing to be right auto-magically. -- \js Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give. -United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989)
