Re: Read receipt and return receipt
Does Exim support dsn notify and dsn return? If so, can I just set those variables?

Encrypting attachments with GnuPG so that Eudora can see it...
PROBLEM: Suppose I send a GPG-encrypted email that has an attachment. I then send it to someone who is using Eudora 5.0 with PGP Freeware 6.5.8 to read their email. Normally, when a Eudora reads an encrypted email with an attachment, they are initially presented with a PGP icon. If they click on the icon, they are presented with the original text of the email, plus the icon for the original attachment. When I use mutt/GPG to send an attachment, though, it doesn't work as well. Initially, they are still presented with the PGP icon. However, when they click on it, instead of being shown the email plus an icon for the attachment, the email plus its MIME headers, and the encoded attachment plus its MIME headers are displayed as if it were the email itself. If it was an image or something else that was attached, then you get to see the whole base64 encoding of the attachment, instead of the attachment itself. Blecch. Oh, and something else: if I attach a file, then encrypt -and- sign, then set the main text's disposition from inline to attachment, Eudora doesn't even display the content when it decrypts. It only shows the multipart/content-type header. *sigh* MUTT SETUP: * Running under RedHat Linux 6.2 * mutt 1.2.5i plus compressed folder support (installed from the RPM) * gnupg 1.0.4 (latest from RedHat, which includes the recent security patch) EUDORA SETUP: * Running under Win2K Pro * Eudora 5.0 * PGP Freeware 6.5.8 I'd appreciate any help at all in working around this, so that I can use mutt to send encrypted attachments that Eudora (and other mail applications) recognise... Note that I didn't even bother testing with Outlook and Outlook Express, because they have bugger all support for receiving and correctly processing encrypted attachments, anyway. (At least that is the case with the PGP Freeware plugin, and Outlook Express dies about 20-50% of the time with the PGP plugin, anyway.) 2 Regards, /|/| / |
Mutt is trying SASL auth w/POP3 server?
My ISP just changed mail servers. What a pain. Before mutt was set to check my mail on the pop3 server. After changing servers in my ~~/.muttrc, mutt is now trying SASL auth and failing miserably. I can telnet to the mail server and issue the appropriate pop3 commands to list, retr, dele mail etc... However, mutt can't. The welcome message from the pop3 server does NOT have a tag in '' which is used with a digest algorithm to generate the APOP command, according to RFC for POP3. And it is only providing POP3 services for my ISP. Can someone tell me why mutt is trying to use SASL authentication with a pop3 server? I hope the answer is not to recompile this without SASL.

attaching multiple files with edit-headers
I just discovered the Attach: header that you can add while editing an outgoing mail. The number of times I have blushed after sending mail with xyz attached .. and no attachments :) Now there is no excuse of waiting till you get to the Composer to attach files - you can do it in vi using the ^Xf which completes file names.

redisplaying encrypted messages
Hi, all -- My, I've been gone for a long time. I wonder if this question has been asked already :-) When I get an encrypted message, I read it like you would expect. Sometimes I want to check the headers, however, and so I press 'h' while the message is displayed. In an action that I find somewhat surprising and certainly time-consuming, mutt starts over and re-decrypts the message to redisplay it with the headers. The same thing happens if I then press 'h' to turn the headers off again. I don't know much about how the internal pager display works or how decrypted messages are handled, but could mutt remember the decrypted code it got a moment ago and just redisplay that with the new header selection instead of having to decrypt again? TIA and Happy New Year to all -- I miss having time to read the list :-( :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!

Now, that doesn't mean that the data didn't make it there, and the recipient can find the attachments in whatever directory Eudora uses. It's a pain, though.

Mailboxes
Hello I'm using Mutt 1.2.5i and installed procmail to sort lynx-dev mails and mutt-users mails in separate mailboxes. The only way I found to open these mailboxes (in $HOME/Mail/) is press 'c' in the index. Is there another way (I found nothing in the manual)?
