Re: URL view not working
I have just switched distros to SuSE and moved over my muttrc, and many others. Now, when I hit ^B to get a urlview (which I have macro-ed in my muttrc), I get a urlview command not found. Is this a separate program, or part of Mutt? In earlier SuSE versions (6.4, IIRC) urlview was part of the mutt rpm package. Newer versions (=6.4) have split this into a separate urlview package. You'll probably find both of them in series n. Best regards - Juergen. -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
templates macros
Hi! Some weeks ago, Jeremy Blosser wrote: [Fri, 10 Mar 200, Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] 1) create the templates you want, using your editor of choice 2) create macros that change the value of 'editor' to call a script/etc. that processes the reply+template and calls your editor, then set 'editor' back to the default, eg: macro index r :set editor=replyscriptenterreply:set editor=defaultenter With forms of this method the "template" isn't even limited to a text-based construct, it can really be anything at all.

The S macro for in-line PGP...
The "S" macro which I found in the documentation/FAQ isn't working for me (in Mutt v1.2.5). Here's what I have: macro compose S "Fpgp +verbose=0 -fast +clearsig=on\ny^T^Uapplication/pgp; format=text; x-action=sign\ny" The ^T^U etc. never gets executed. It justs runs the PGP command and comes back. I have to do the ^T^U manually and then send the message. Any ideas on what could be blocking it?

Last version I know of was 0.46, available at http://www.radiusnet.net/crypto/archive/remailer/premail/ Premail facilitates using chained remailers: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ((chain=3)) It also largely automates nym creation. Unfortunately, it uses old style comment addressing for commands, and Mutt is paternalistic about addresses and automatically rewrites (mungs, in this application) the addresses that need to be passed to premail. Mutt has a compile switch to turn off the automatic address rewriting, but there is a warning in the docs that it is broken and should not be used. I wish I were capable of fixing it. Nyms and remailers are *so* much easier to use under DOS Windoze (Potato, Jack B Nymble), it's an embarassment to the *nix community.
