This file contains the body of the message to view/print/edit or where the composing program should place the results of composition. In addition, the use of this keyword causes Mutt to not pass the body of the message to the view/print/edit program on stdin. HTH, Michael -- The program isn't debugged until the last user is dead.

Re: viewing image attachments
On Thursday, Luke Ravitch said something like: I don't know if this is part of your problem, but I found it necessary to add the "force_html" switch to lynx in my .mailcap. I.e.: text/html; lynx -force_html -dump %s ; copiousoutput Otherwise I would just get the HTML source. (Mutt's temporary file names don't have .html extensions, so lynx was assuming it was just a plain text file.) I use what is suggested in the manual: text/html; lynx -dump %s ; copiousoutput ; nametemplate=%s.html This causes the temporary file to be named with a .html extension.

Blank messages in IMAP index
I have a strange problem when opening IMAP folders with mutt.

Re: Build problem with 1.3.7 on Solaris

IMAP with Exchange Server
I'm running Mutt 1.2.5i with IMAP support, in the unfortunate condition of needing to use MS Exchange as the IMAP server. (Corporate email, really tired of Outlook) Something somewhere is clearly buggy, to the point of just about making it unuseable. I find that when I open a folder, everything is fine. But, when new messages arrive, or even a $ refresh is done sometimes, things get odd. For example, one new message will come in but it gets listed twice. For example, I'll be able to read the new message(s) but the old messages will only have headers - no bodies. I know that Exchange isn't listed as a compatible IMAP server, but on the other hand it doesn't say its specificaly not compatible. Is anyone out there successfuly using such a configuration? Are there some tweaks or patches I need to make? Do I need to request changes on the server end? Any help or advice is appreciated. I really don't want to go back to Outlook, and using something like fetchmail really isn't a viable option. -- r a y c r a n e "It's not real...just a drawback I wish to feel."

Locale settings and LANG
When no LC_CTYPE or LANG variable is set, mutt displays special characters like ë, é, £, correctly. But when LANG=C is set and LC_CTYPE are unset, they are not. This is a bit strange, because when LANG and LC_CTYPE are unset, programs usually use the default locale settings, which should be equal to those used when LANG=C. Or am I missing something?

IMAP distinguishes between New and Unread mails. Just because you
haven't read some messages doesn't mean that folder has new mail. But
if mail arrives while you're using mutt you should get notified and
there should be an N (or two ?!) in the mailboxes browser.
of course you can also use the standard folder shortcuts, eg:
set folder={host}Mail
mailboxes =foo-list =bar-list
i have
set folder = {10.0.0.55}INBOX

you need to set $spoolfile.
