sending a stream as a file
Hi This "works" zip - *txt|mutt -s'send a zip file of all txt docs' eric -a - on 'V' in mutt received mail gives: - I 1 no description [text/plain, quoted, iso-8859-1, 96K] A 2 - [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0K] With the top one being a legal zip file - only problem is that you have to name the file when saving it, cause it is nameless. Also the encoding says test/plain but when you save the attachemnt, you get a legal zip file. Is there a way to force a file name, this should help mutt get its encosing statement right as well? -- Eric Smith Fruitcom.com Amsterdam

Creating headers/attribution using shell commands
Hi list! Small problem here: I'd like to put the output of some shellscripts in the headers and attributions.. Since the output of the shellscript always varies between preset values (like a fortune) the values have to be calculated at the moment I start typing the mail. How would that be done ? Can I just use my_hdr X-something: `shellscript` ? Grtz, Nils. PGP signature

Performing operations on a GPG/PGP key id?
I am currently using the following two macros to do things with unknown PGP/GPG key ids: macro pager P "!gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net --recv-key 0x" "Get PGP Key" macro pager L "!gpg --lsign-key 0x" "Sign PGP Key" Is there a way to automatically get the key id from the message, so I just have to press one key and it fills in the info? -- Chris Gushue [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mutt.lazygenes.net PGP signature

Is it possible to have a Trashbox?

You have to clean up =trash yourself when you want it, possibly from the command line manually, or from a crontab entry for periodic execution. There's unfortunately no way to create a similar macro for D (the delete-pattern function). But ;d (tag-prefix followed by d) will work, for "deleting" tagged messages in this way.

Re: Mutt crashing when I try to retrieve a postponed message.

Although I am initially enjoying learning the power of Mutt, loosing postponed
messages is a major stumbling block.
This isn't a real solution, but as a possible work around, how about
setting your postponed setting to a local folder? I don't know if
that's an option for you...
Mutt of course shouldn't crash on postponing over to an IMAP folder,
that should be fixed, but while it does maybe using a local folder will
help you (if you can use that, that is).

IMAP Lost mailbox lock crash
Hi, I'm using Mutt 1.2.5i with IMAP. I am also using WMMail (a mail-checker for WindowMaker) to access the same IMAP mailbox. If I am viewing a message, then WMMail checks for new mail, then I press space bar to get to the next page of the message, Mutt crashes with the following error: imap_check_mailbox() [* BYE Lost mailbox lock].Segmentation fault (core dumped) A similar bug affects the index. The same error message shows up but the program does not segfault. Instead it simply loses the index (the index becomes empty until you reload the mailbox or restart). If that's not enough information, reply to me directly and I'll provide more. Thanks, thom
