mutt and pgp signatures
I've recently started to use GnuPG 1.0.1 with mutt 1.2i. I notice a small problem: 1. If I receive a message with a PGP signature attached, and view it with mutt, gpg claims that it's a bad signature, even if the signature is good, in certain circumstances. In particular, this happens if the incoming message has the double-dash-space signature in the message body, eg: Hi Anand blah blah blah. -- Friend If a message is sent to me without the double-dash signature, the pgp signature verification succeeds. More interestingly, if the space after the double-dash is removed, the signature verification ALSO SUCCEEDS. Now I know that the convention for signatures is '-- \n', but that space somehow seems to be breaking gpg's ability to verify PGP signatures. Anyone have any idea why this might be so? -- Anand

If you are only talking about Shift-Q (not Ctrl-T), it should be easy to define some macros, which change query_command and run query after this. Something like: macro index \eq ":set query_command=\"abook --mutt-query '%s'\"\nquery" macro index Q ":set query_command=\"ldap_query '%s'\"\nquery" (not tested!!!) So ESC q queries abook, while Shift-Q queries ldap.

Assuming you want to query both sources each time, I'd just use a
wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
for query_source in local ldap qi; do

done | sort | uniq
set query_command="query_wrapper '%s'"
or something like that. All untested, of course; I only use one

Re: Send hook question
do you have 'autoedit' set? if you do, here's what happens: when you hit 'm' to start a message, there is no recipient specified, so 'from' gets set to the default value. you have to let mutt prompt for the recipient before you edit, so that it can set the 'from' header. peter On 5 Oct 00, 7:49AM, Hal Burgiss wrote: On Thu, Oct 05, 2000 at 11:45:33AM +0200, Michael Tatge wrote: Hal Burgiss muttered: Should the below not work?

newbie problems with mutt, postfix and imap.
Hi,
On my home linux box, I'm trying to switch from NS messenger to mutt and
postfix.
I want to read/send from my university imap/smtp servers and am having
some problems:
1. I am able to read mail from imap.princeton.edu,
but sent mail never arrives at its destination -- even though
it shows up in my imap Sent mail folder. It also doesn't bounce back!
I think this is a postfix problem, so here are the relevent parts of
my /etc/postfix/main.cf file:
(Note:I don't understand if relayhost= is supposed to be
my university smtp server, or my ISP smtp server: I have
tried both and neither seems to work.)
/etc/postfix/main.cf
---
myhostname = imap.Princeton.EDU
mydomain=Princeton.EDU
relayhost = smtp.Princeton.EDU
#relayhost=smtpout.bellatlantic.net
masquerade_domains = Princeton.EDU
default_transport = smtp
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname
--
2. I can't create new folders on my imap server with mutt.
I can read existing mail folders on my imap server. But
if I try to save mail with "s" to a new mailbox it complains that the
mailbox
doesn't exit. If I try to create a new mailbox while in the directory
listing
with "n" it says I get the error message "creating mailboxes is not yet
supported".
But I am using mutt 1.2.5i compiled with --enable-imap, which IS
supposed
to support creation/deletion of IMAP folders
Here are the relevent lines from my .muttrc file are:
--
set hostname="imap.princeton.edu"
set spoolfile={imap.princeton.edu}
set folder={imap.princeton.edu}
fcc-hook ~A {imap.princeton.edu}Sent
--
Any help on (1) and (2) above is greatly appreciated.

Newbie questions
Dear Mutt experts, I'm a new mutt user (moved over from pine for the threads :-), and after using the program for a few weeks (and reading the manual, twice) am now reaching the point where I know what I don't know. :-) How do I "commit" files marked for deletion? I realize they get removed when I change mailboxes/folders, but isn't there a command that means "discard all deleted messages in the current folder NOW"? (The pine command I'm thinking of is 'x', which is rather unfortunate. :-) Alternatively, is there any way to hide (not display) deleted messages? My mail folders are in ~/mail (lowercase), so I use the startup command set folder=~/mail After that, I can refer to my folders as =foldername, which is dandy, but means I have to type a leading "=" every time I change folders with the :change-folder command. Is there a way to *not* have to type the initial "=" character? It works of course if I chdir to ~/mail before running mutt, but that's a wee bit lame. For that matter, is there any way I can type a prefix (say, "ord" for "orders") with some kind of auto-completion of folder names? I've figured out cTAB/ordRETURNRETURN, but that's hardly a savings in keystrokes, though it does work with arbitrary substrings. Is there a way to write a macro-with-argument, so I could turn this into the sequence (bound to, say, the "C" key) CordRETURN? [The point being, of course, that *after* I type in the argument and hit return, it continues to run the macro, in that case RETURNRETURN.] Oh, and thanks a lot for mutt.
