Simply pipe your message from slashdot to w3m, which displays the full text of the message, then type a colon (:). This will cause w3m to search the text for strings that look like URLs and treat them as anchors. Move the cursor to the anchor/link of interest and hit Enter, which will cause w3m to open that URL. If you don't like using w3m as a browser, you can configure it to use a different browser to open URLs. I regularly receive a list of articles from The Register as you do from slashdot, so I use display-hooks to automatically set the pager to w3m for these messages: display-hook ~A 'set pager="less -rf"' display-hook '~s "the register update"' 'set pager="w3m"' I think display-hooks are only available as a patch to 1.2. The patch was posted to this list (or the mutt-dev list) earlier this year. How did you get slashdot to send you a list of articles? I've searched the site for such a feature but couldn't find it.

% Hi. I wanted mutt to display the to_chars flags, but I cannot figure
% out how...
You mean the +,T,C,F chars that note how the message is addressed in
relation to your known addresses?
%
% My hdr_format is:
%
% set hdr_format="%4C %Z %{%m/%d} %-15.15F (%4c) %s"
Well, the manual szys that %Z is the message status flags, while %T is
the to_chars chars, but my "%4C %Z ..." shows me the to_chars, so it
would seem that they are included in the status flags. That, in turn,
would make it seem like you should see them as well.
I've added you to the cc: field, so this message should generate a 'C'
char for you. Does it?
You might also check your hdr_format from within mutt to see what it
*really* is. Type
:set ?hdr_format
and hit return and see what it says; you might be altering it with a hook
somewhere.
Oh, good grief; I just realized that you're using hdr_format instead of
index_format, which means you're using an older version of mutt... Yep;
1.0pre3us is pretty old, all right; you might consider upgrading to
1.2.5, the latest stable version, even if you don't wish to go to 1.3.x
and play with the development version. I don't have a 1.0 manual handy,
but I'm fairly sure the expando sequences stayed the same along the way.

Re: Mutt's URL support
At 12:29 AM EDT on September 11 Shane Wegner sent off: Hi, I am wondering if there is any more information on viewing URLs in mutt then is contained in the manual. As you've seen, there's a lot. Quite an educational thread. If I hit ctrl+b (spawn urlview) on a post like this, it gives me a nice yet utterly meaningless set of URLs. Is there any feature which allows pine-like url viewing? Moving around in the message itself and spawning a browser. If not, is there a better way to get an URL with some context. My favorite way is to use mutt in a URL aware terminal, so I can just right click on any URL to have netscape load it up. I use dingus, a modified rxvt 2.4.5 that you can get at http://astro.utoronto.ca/~reid/software/ but you might already be able to do it in gnome-terminal. gnome-terminal manages backgrounds better, but its magic clicking isn't as flexible or convienient. And now for a purely speculative method: it mmiigghhtt* be possible to run mutt inside emacs, and use emacs to middle click on URLs like in gnus. I doubt it, though. ;-) It'd probably be easier just to use a webcam to see which URLs you're looking at. * IIRC, it's been mathematically proven that emacs can do anything. -- Now I'm being INVOLUNTARILY shuffled closer to the CLAM DIP with the BROKEN PLASTIC FORKS in it!! - Yow!

muttzilla
Hi, I'm running debian 2.2 woody and I just did apt-get install muttzilla and sure enough there was a debian muttzilla package, which apt faithfully installed and set up. Trouble is, there's no man page (like I'd read it anyhow..) and when I call a mail-to url in netscape, it just brings up the regular netscape mail program. Oh, I'm using netscape 4.75. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? thanks --dale "The major advances in civilization are processes that all but wreck the societies in which they occur." --Albert North Whitehead

When "c" is pressed mutt stops # responding to keyboard input and jumps to 100% cpu utilization: macro browser c "change-folder!\n" "Goto Inbox" Another thing I consider to be a usability bug is that the "mail"-function isn't available under the "browser"-menu. -Jens

I think the former should work, but I had problems with using "=" for the default mailbox directory when I started using mutt so I've used "+" ever since.
Re: eterm/mutt manual?
Anyhow, when I hit F1 in eterm, it brings up a menu block rather than the manual for mutt. Any way around this? look for "bind anymod 0xffbe" in /usr/share/Eterm/themes/Eterm/theme.cfg and comment it out. good luck! -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
