no external programs can be used

2000-08-16 Thread Daniel Kollar

Hi there,

I'm a mutt newbie and I have a basic problem:

It seems that no external program can be startet out of mutt.

I.e.:
1) The external editor is set to "vim".
   When I try to compose a message, I get the following error in mutt: "Aborted 
unmodified message." instead that vim opens up.
2) The "mutt_ldap_query.pl" for the query_command gives no results. When typing 'Q' in 
the mutt message index, I only get a beep after entering the search phrase. Trying 
'mutt_ldap_query.pl search phrase' in an xterm gives the expected results and seems 
to work.

Thank you for help.

Cu,
Daniel.

 If mutt is the only thing you use - and you dont read mails off the server,
 what's wrong in having your procmail dev/nulling them?
 
?  Procmail doesn't come into it at all!

I have a system with an IMAP server running on it where I store
'interesting' mail from all the accounts where I run mutt (home, work
and two shell login accounts).  The mail stays on the IMAP server as
the whole point is that I can see it and refer to it from anyhwhere.
The "DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE " message doesn't show up when
using mutt to look at mail on a remote IMAP server like this.

Sometimes however I use mutt on the system where the IMAP server is
running, using mutt this way *does* show the unwanted message.  This
is when I want to use the 'limit' command to hide the message.  In
this case mutt is viewing the mailboxes directly, not using the IMAP
server.

 I still wonder about this one.  I thought that mutt would happily display
 an empty mailbox, and one would think that the message would certainly
 match the criteria...  But I'm not playing around to test it, so I'll
 just go away again.
 
No, what's happening is that the limit command with a '!' is saying
"display all messages that *don't* match this", there are no messages
that *don't* match so mutt displays the error.

Hi there,

I solved the problem by myself.
I used the csh as a shell for --with-exec-shell command with configure script.
ksh instead works fine.

Moving messages about IMAP/local

2000-08-16 Thread cgreen

I think the current implementation of directory browsing needs to be
changed somewhat. I've muttered about this before but now I have a
practical situation where it's a real pain.

I want to move some messages from an IMAP server to local folders
(though the same problems would apply moving IMAP to IMAP or local to
IMAP).

So, I use a 'c' command followed by '?' to find and open the required
folder on the IMAP server.  This works fine and I get to the message
I want.  I then use an 's' command followed by a '?' to find the
folder where I want to save the message - this doesn't work because
the browser opens a view of the IMAP server folders - I want a view of
the place I started from, the local folders.

I really think that the browser should do one of the following:-

Always start in the same place ($folder maybe)

Have a special key that will take it back to $folder (i.e. '?'
will browse from where it left off, '!' will go back to $folder)

Have an option in the muttrc file to say whether it starts where
it left off or back at $folder.

1.3.x series need for iconv/libiconv

2000-08-16 Thread cgreen

I have now built mutt 1.3.7 in four different places, two of the four
required that I get libiconv as the existing iconv wasn't good enough.

The two places that needed libiconv were Solaris 2.6 and Red Hat Linux
release 6.1.

I think this may cause problems when this gets to a general release
version as one of mutt's major advantages is that it builds 'out of
the box' on most Unix/Linux systems without requiring any 'bleeding
edge' libraries.

I agree the browser/folder situation needs work. I'll get there after
I've gotten a batch of robustness fixes done. But, remember when
saving locally that you can do something like s~/TAB and you'll be
taken to your local home directory. I tend to use tab-completion on
local directories myself, and it works well enough.

For imap_user, you can embed the username in the account, as in
{user@host}. There is no solution for imap_pass. But once you've
connected, the account information for each account is cached. So you
can log in to one account, set imap_pass to the password for your next
account, and connect to it. Once the connections are established you
should be fine. You may wish to write some "profile" macros to do some
of this for you.

I'm interested in writing some sort of account-hook code later to
handle changing these sorts of parameters when you use another
account. But for now, this will have to do...

Install v. Patches

I want to upgrade from 1.0.1i to the current 1.2.5i.  What is the best

My guess is that you ought to go for the 1.2.5 tarball.  mutt now uses
a linux-like versioning system, so 1.0 and 1.2 are considered fairly
substantial upgrades.  Most of the patches you'll see are either bugfix
patches which have been included in the later releases or feature patches
which wouldn't be in the diff upgrades anyway.

Finally, I just peeked at ftp.mutt.org myself and I don't see any diffs
earlier than 1.1.14 (except for the 1.0pre* series), so you'd have to get
to 1.1.14 to diff your way up anyway.

I guess it is a matter of taste and bandwidth. If you sit at home with
a 14.4 modem connection and still want to live at the bleeding edge of
mutt development, downloading the small patches will save you time and
money. If you have got a T3 link to the net, and 2 or 3 MB more or

A very good point...  I figured that he's going to need a major upgrade
from 1.0.1, so any tarball (or CVS checkout) is good for him as a new
starting point.  From there the diffs might certainly be easier.

BTW, 1.2.5 certainly isn't bleeding edge, since 1.2 is the stable
version.  If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out 1.3.x :-)

attachment in vim

I just got struck (yet again) by the evil "I say I'm going to attach a

Has anybody setup a vim keybind to prompt for a filename and add the
Attach: header for mutt to automagically attach a file? I'm looking for
something similar to the mutt-mode.el way of doing it, but don't want to
re-invent the wheel if somebody else has already done this... not to

Put something like the following into your muttrc:

mailboxes ! =linux-users =mutt-users ...

Pressing "c" change-folder and "?" will show a mailbox overview,
where folders containing new messages have a "N" in front of their
name.

% How do I automate saving an attachment to disk without having to go through

The most automated way I've found is to pump the email through munpack,
which breaks apart all of the attachments.  I've even whipped up a little
wmunpack script to reset my umask (to world-readable) and drop the
attachments in my web dir so that I can pick 'em up from another site
(since I ssh in to read my mail) and just pipe the email through that
when I hit something I need to download (zip file, word doc, etcetc).

If you want to stay within mutt, you could probably whip up some sort of
macro, but it's pretty easy to just hit 'v' to see the attachment list
and scroll down to pick the one you want -- and it would probably be
pretty hard to automate that without knowing in advance the number of the
attachment you wanted.

Don't use mutt for this; use procmail and grab the messages as they come
in.  If you're trying, for example, to duplicate Eudora's "functionality"
(ahem) of detaching items to a particular directory, you could use
procmail to spit out the attachment and note the location back in the
email (the headers would be the best place to avoid screwing up any PGP
signatures) before sending the message on to its destination folder.

Close...  mutt doesn't parse your shell globbing wildcards, but can spawn
off a subshell to do it for you (for instance :-)  I have

  mailboxes $MAIL `echo $HOME/Mail/F.*`

in my .mutt/muttrc and you'll probably find another dozen answers shortly.
I could,sure, use sed to change the leading dir path to "=" but I figure
it doesn't matter in the long run and so I don't waste the extra process.

You could try:
source 'echo mailboxes `ls ~/mail/.` |'

Not sure it'll work, but something like it should.

Brendan Cully [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Wed, 16 Aug 2000:
 of course, there's no good reason to use = in the first place, I
 think. It's just a shortcut useful when typing...

Indeed, because internally Mutt converts the = and + shortcuts to
the full filename whenever it encouters them.  So the folder names
are never stored with the "=" in front, so no point in going to
extra trouble just to include it.

Messed up patch...

2000-08-16 Thread Ben Reser

If you tried to use the patch I gave for urlview you may have run into some
problems compiling...  I recommend getting the updated version:
http://ben.reser.org/projects/urlview-comma.patch

For those that don't know this fixes the problem with URLs with commas in them
not working with netscape.

If i were to make a perl script to ask me some questions, and store the
