Resizing mutt windows
I'm running Mutt 1.2.5i in an xterm with TERM=xterm under Solaris 8. Is there any way to get mutt to notice that the terminal has been resized? I've told it ^L but it blatently ignores me. Pine and other programs have no troubles noticing the change in terminal size. Interestingly, if I quit and restart mutt, it *does* notice that the terminal size has changed and everything is as it should be. The same problem occurs running under screen 3.09.08 with TERM=vt100 even though I tell it to 'fit to current region size' with ^A F and also tell it ^A l and ^L. -- Tom [W]hat you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

threads, annoying threads
I need some help here. I have threads set, and always had strict_threads unset, but a lot of mail, like from yahoo, wouldn't get put into the threads, and order of messages would get really confusing. I finally tried the other day setting strict_threads and remembered why I unset it so long ago. Things wind up even more confusing, sometimes a replied message to another both showing up on the same level, and replied to others not fitting anywhere near logically into the tree. Any ideas on how to clean this up? I know these are more issues of yahoo mail and such, but... Thanks. -Ken -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]AIM: ScopusFest

saving message/rfc822 attachments to a folder
I'm using mutt 1.2.5i from Debian 2.2. It seems that, if I have a message with message/rfc822 attachments (eg, some mailing list digests), I can do some but not all of the operations on the attachment that I could do on a normal message. In particular, I want to save an attachment as a separate message in another folder. (Pressing s offers to save to a file, as with other attachment types.) The best I can do is to bounce the attachment to myself, then save it. A neat way to handle this would be to have a mode in which an attached message/rfc822 (or perhaps all such attachments for a given message, but this could get confusing for nested message/rfc822 attachments) would be treated as a mini-mailbox, permitting all functions normally available in index mode. A keystroke in the attachment menu would enter this mode. Please Cc: me on replies, if you don't mind. Andrew

Just thought I'd share an alternative to how mutt is generally used, we recently converted over to a new imapd server, which uses mbox mail dirs, from cyrus which uses individual files for each message. In searching for a way to convert quickly and easily from cyrus's message format to mbox, we used mutt to simply connect via imap, save all messages locally, and move the mbox file to the new spool dir where everyone gets all their messages seamlessly.

Adding %c to $index_format will give you an indication of the total size of a message, so you could avoid opening the message if it were too large. You wouldn't know anything about the attachment types; if it were a multi-part message, and you just wanted to avoid opening a large text/plain attachment, mutt would still have to scan the whole message to determine the attachment types. If scanning the message isn't a problem, but displaying it in the pager is, then you could use the attachments menu to skip the large ones. -- David Ellement

The sendmail program will try to look up the names above and will fail. That failure will often actually take a minute or so, because sendmail will continue to retry that long (without a response). You need to correct it by modifying your sendmail.cf file or assigning a _real_ name to your server (one that is actually in the DNS). Also, see the system logs for sendmail's complaints about not being able to determine the name of the system it is running on. You really should fix this because sendmail will supply headers that are really invalid. This means there will be no way to notify you of delivery failures, if they occur downstream.

MIME text/plain attachment too big
Hi! When opening a received mail containing a text/plain MIME attachment mutt always displays the contents of this attachment inside the pager. This can cause a problem when the size of the attachment is several MBytes big. How do I prevent mutt from showing the contents of text/plain attachment inside the pager when a specific size limit is achieved? Thx for answer. Regards, Daniel.

Yet another GPG question
Hi everyone! I'm afraid all these gpg-questions in the end will drive you mutt-gpg experts crazy. But after reading everything I can come over, and searching the archives, I have a few problems I can't resolve. I'm using mutt 1.2.5 and gpg 1.0.4. I am corresponding with a friend who's using Windows Outlook 2000 and PGP 6.0.2. 1. When I send him encrypted e-mails, he receives them as two files in an e-mail, called << File: msg.asc >> and << File: ATT7.dat >>. This seems to me as if it's working pretty good, and that his mail program recognizes pgp/mime. However, he tells me the files are incorrectly named, that the .asc file should be the .dat file and vice versa. If he saves the files and decrypts them manually (switching them), it all works. But why the naming problem? 2. When I send him signed e-mails, he receives the signature as an attached file, which he has to deal with manually. Would this mean I should use pgp_create_traditional? But the docs say this is only working if one uses 7-bit ascii, and we're communicating in Swedish, using iso-8859-1, so this wouldn't work, would it?
