I amy look again at mixmaster later. Have you looked at premail? Last version I know of was 0.46, available at http://www.radiusnet.net/crypto/archive/remailer/premail/ Yes, I did look at it and need to look at it more. It is however yet another example of software that is now fairly old and is not being supported any more. Premail facilitates using chained remailers: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ((chain=3)) It also largely automates nym creation. I want ot try this. It does look as if it makes a very confusing business a lot easier and clearer. 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. I guess there is not too much incentive for the mutt developers to fix this. My C is not really good enough also. Nyms and remailers are *so* much easier to use under DOS Windoze (Potato, Jack B Nymble), it's an embarassment to the *nix community. IMO. It seems you are right although I have never looked at them on a PC.

Sorting by thread
Hi all When I choose to have folder displayed by threads, the viewer then sorts trheads based on the time of the oldest message in the thread. I'd rather have it so that the threads themselves are sorted based on the date of the most recent message in the thread, so that threads that become active again move to the bottom of my list.

I noticed that on a mailing list you had suggested to someone that their lockd and statd hadnt been set up correctly. The folders to which my outgoing emails are sent are nfs mounted on the machine i am running mutt on, and lockd and rpc.statd are both running on the machine which is nfs exporting that part of the file system (but not on the machine which has them mounted). What kind of config change would it be necessary for me to make to get it working ? (a point in the right direction is all im looking for).. Thanks, and sorry to email you directly.

N in folder list
avete, I've been trying to get the new flag to work in my folder list, to show me which folders have new messages. For some reason, no folder ever gets a 'N' flag, regardless of whether or not it contains new messages. Shouldn't this work right out of the box? I'm using sendmail as my MTA, btw.

HTML-attachments seen as octet-stream despite of mailcap
Hello, According to Mutt's manual, I've put this line in my .mailcap file to read HTML-attachments without running X : text/html; lynx -force_html -dump %s | less It works generally fine, but sometimes HTML-files aren't recognized by Mutt. I didn't find (or understand...) in the mailcap manpage how are matched the files and the correspondant entries in the 1rst fields of mailcap's lines. Is it by using the "file" command ? By exemple, I've got a HTML-attachment seen as applica/octet-stream : 1 no description [text/plain, quoted, 1,6K] 2 petition.eurolinux.org.html (Internet-Do[applica/octet-stre, quoted, 23K] ...and the file is displayed as raw text, with all the tags.

Right. It was sent as application/octet-stream, so mutt doesn't know what to do with it. With more recent versions of mutt you can use the edit-type function (bound to ^E in the attach menu by default) to change it to text/html--I don't think 1.0 has that, though. This is what I typically do. Someone wrote a octet-stream viewer which tries to figure out what type it should be (I forget if it uses the file extension or the file command--probably a combination of both with other magic) to do the Right Thing. You might want to search the archives for it, or someone else might pipe up. Or you could write a procmail recipe to fix this. Or you could convince the people sending this to fix their MUA.
