ignoring backup-inbox in !mailboxes watch

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that's why the signature will check OK w/ Mutt's functions, but fail on piping the msg into gpg --verify. -- Oo---o, Oo---o, O-weem-oh-wum-ooo-ayyy In the jungle, the silicon jungle, the process sleeps tonight.

creating Mutt folder for sent mail

Re: folder-hook statusbar
[Lee Teague] here's the problem - I've got several accounts set up through fetchmail/procmail going to different folders. I've got mutt set up to switch between the folders with keybinds, and folder-hooks to change the from: header, etc. based on the name of the folder i'm in, which of course corresponds to the account. Here's the problem: I want the statusbar_format to change based on the folder-hook, too. really all i want is to display what account i'm using based on the folder, so however would be the best way to do that... I have noticed that you can't change all setting with folder-hooks (which would have made my day a little easier). For things I really need, I have: - defined a macro for the command i want (e.g: macro index z :'set attribution="[%n to [EMAIL PROTECTED]]"\n'^M) - added a folder-hook to execute the macro (e.g: folder-hook pcadm push z) Would have preferred to do it with the hook directly, but this works :-) Why can't send-hooks and folder-hooks set any variable? -- Greetings, Andreas Strm P.S.

autoview HTML question
What is it that mutt uses to tell that an email is in HTML? I set autoview to launch lynx to view HTML, and all of a sudden I am seeing a lot more emails as html. I commented out autoview in my muttrc and looked at one of them again and it was normal, in plain text. Here are the headers I think ar relative: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_170611416==_.ALT" Status: RO Content-Length: 361 Lines: 17 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" My .mailcap has: text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html And my .muttrc has: auto_view text/html -Ken

That means that the message contains multiple MIME parts, and that each part is an alternative representation of the same content. If you pipe the message to a pager such as 'less' or 'more', you will be able to see all the parts. Somewhere in there is another part with Content-Type: text/html. Most mailers, including mutt, will select just one of the multiple parts to display based on the Content-Types in the message, the abilities of the mailer, and the preferences of the user. If you give mutt the ability to display HTML content in-line by setting "auto_view text/html" and by putting an appropriate "text/html; ..." line in your mailcap, it will apparently display the text/html part in preference to the text/plain part. You can control this behavior with the alternative_order list. Gary -- Gary Johnson | Agilent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] | RF Communications Product Generation Unit | Spokane, Washington, USA

If email provides text/plain and text/html (which is often true of some mail agents), then it seems that once you have specified "autoview text/html" the html becomes the preferred attachment to look at. see section 5.5. :-- MIME Multipart/Alternative in help file `manual.txt' on "alternative_order". I just used the example as given there viz:- alternative_order text/enriched text/plain text/html application/postscript image And so text/plain is selected ahead of text/html...
