There's no detail in the docs regarding this behavior that I can find. As you describe hitting 'c' always offers the next mailbox with new messages. Next meaning the order given in muttrc. Not quite. It offers you the *first* mailbox that has a new message (the order is dictated by the `mailboxes' command). -- Take a look in Hagbard's World: | mutt.octet.filter - autoview octet-streams http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk/ | mutt.vcard.filter - autoview simple vcards http://www.acemake.com/hagbard/ | muttrc2html - muttrc - HTML utility Free software, including| muttrc.sl - Jed muttrc mode
Tab = 'o'?
Sometime I dialed into my workstation at work from a Windows machine at home. When I do I telnet in using a program called Tera Term. Where I am having difficulty is using the Tab key in mutt in this circumstance. Tab completion in bash works fine, but when I try to change folders and use tab completion is mutt, mutt just print a little 'o' instead. Ideas, anyone? (When I'm actually at my workstation things work fine. This problem is only with the situation described above). -- Bob Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Linux is like living in a teepee.

Hi Bob Bell ! On Sat 11 Nov 2000 (11:29), you muttered on the list: Ideas, anyone? Playt around a bit with your terminal settings .. set your telnet prog to emulate vt100 or vt102 for instance and type this in bash: export TERM=vt100 / export TERM=vt102 Grtz, Nils. PGP signature
Muttrc, IMAP errors over SSH
After searching the mutt-user archives as best I could, here's a question I, as a new Mutt user, haven't yet been able to resolve: I've got a Red Hat Linux 6.2 box at home (this box is behind a firewall which gets IP dialtone from a cable modem). It collects email from my various accounts and serves them up to the machines on my home LAN via an IMAP server. The firewall deliberately blocks folks outside of my home LAN from accessing my mail. Works great. Up until today, I've been telnetting to my home machine from work, and running Mutt over the telnet session. I've configured Mutt to use my home IMAP server. Again, works great. However, it's insecure (transmitting passwords and cleartext over the open Net, etc). I've configured OpenSSH at home, and I'm using PuTTY at work to establish a secure terminal session from work to home. Yet again, works great. HOWEVER: When I telnet into my home machine, I run mutt from the command line. It comes up immediately, automatically connects to my IMAP server, and allows me to browse my IMAP folders. When I SSH into my machine, running mutt from the command line results in a long series of .muttrc errors (mostly regarding my PGP commands, which some other errors mixed in). I then am told "Secure login is unavailable. Use cleartext login? ([n]/y):". Finally, when I answer "y", when I attempt to change folders (by pressing "c"), and then attempt to browse my folders (by pressing "?"), I get this message: "IMAP folder browsing is not currently supported". I've checked the environment variables both in telnet shells and in SSH shells; everything appears to be the same, with the exception of the "SSH2_CLIENT" variable set in the SSH shell. Unsetting this variable has no effect on the problem. Finallly, I thought perhaps that this was some strange interaction I'm seeing with PuTTY. However, if I use PuTTY to SSH into my box, then telnet to localhost from the same PuTTY terminal, the problem goes away. Huh?!? Thanks very much in advance for anyone's help on this. Mutt's been such a good program to me so far. B-

Please wrap your text! 2. These are very clear signs that you aren't running the same version of mutt in both cases. You must have another binary lying around. Do the results of 'which mutt' match up under telnet vs ssh? You say the environment is the same, but I have a feeling your PATHs are different. -Brendan -- Don't make Godzilla mad! PGP signature
Re: what is the change folder command offering?
On Fri, Nov 10, 2000 at 07:21:09PM -0600 or so it is rumoured hereabouts, Aaron Schrab thought: At 21:18 + 10 Nov 2000, Conor Daly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What I'd like to see is some way to mark a folder as containing unread messages after I've read some (but not all) of the messages therein. Mutt will list folders that use the maildir format as containing new mail as long as there are messages that are marked as new. I'm using mbox here. What I find is that when procmail stuffs a new message into one of my folders, it gets marked as new and shows as such in mutt but if I open that folder, read some but not all of the new messages and change to another folder, the new flag is unset for that folder. I might find myself scanning the various folders to see if there's anything urgent / interesting for immediate reading and want to come back later to read the rest but I have to remember which of the ten or more folders I need to review. For example, I can do a touch -m Mailbox/name which will mark it as new for mutt but I cannot do that for the current folder/mailbox from within mutt. What I'd like is some way to either have mutt do it automatically or set up some macro to do it (can I execute a shell script with a macro and what do I use to pass the current mailbox name to the script?).

Re: NNTP patch
Hi Suresh Ramasubramanian ! On Mon 06 Nov 2000 (09:23), you muttered on the list: Nils Vogels proclaimed on mutt-users that: I have seen 3 patches to add NNTP support to mutt .. which one is "the best" in your opinion ? They all fo the same job AFAIK .. Vselvod Volkov's patch seems to be the best. I tried it but then preferred to stick to slrn. YMMV of course. OK .. applied it, setup some config but now ... :) I setup the innd.conf and NNTPSERVER variables just like inews wants .. and have set my inews variable to ' set inews="/usr/bin/inews -h" ' When I run inews by hand and paste a message into it. I see all goes just fine .. when I use mutt, for some reason it dun work :/ Can I someway check how mutt invokes inews and what it passes there ? Grtz, Nils. PGP signature
japanese with devel mutt
I'm trying out mutt version 1.3.11i, mostly because it has support for automatically switching the charset= line in outgoing emails to the proper encoding. Here's the problem: I can't get japanese to display properly without using something like LANG=ja_JP /usr/local/bin/mutt, which causes subprocessies (like gpg) to run with that language envionment. I'd like it to display text without setting the LANG variable, so I looked at the charset variable, and tried setting it to iso-2022-jp, which didn't seem to do anything, except prevent me from viewing japanese text. (of all things) am I clueless here? anyone have hints on how to set this up? I'm using xemacs with canna for input/sending email, btw. also, is this the proper place for these questions? people on -dev might have a better idea :) thanks in advance, -- Josh Huber | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1024D/6B21489A 61F0 6138 BE7B FEBF A223 E9D1 BFE1 2065 6B21 489A PGP signature
Wishlist item: circle through encodings
When I work on an attachment, I can use Ctrl-E to change the encoding. The resulting prompt lets me enter a textual encoding string, but it would be more comfortable to use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to cycle through the available encodings. The resulting string should also not be used in the global string history but should have its own history. Claus -- Claus Fischer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
