Any ideas where I can get this from. I tried dej^H^H^H Google but without success. I believe what you want is at www.cygwin.com. The Bash (and other GNU tools) port to NT was done by Cygnus, which has since been bought by Red Hat. Get the entire tool set. That and NT Emacs make NT almost habitable. Thaks, I have got all that. I can start mutt under the bash shell, but it asks me whether to open a new Mail folder under /home/500/Mail and then exits. I'd need a starter on how to set this up, so that I can get learning by doing (or by crashing the system, whatever). Sorry to take so long to respond; I've been away. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to this, so I'll toss it back to the list; perhaps someone else has a suggestion. I do think that extra "500" in the path you site is fishy. Is that correct?

This email attachment stuff seems like computer darwinism to me :) pine has problems, I can not find the advisory in the bugtraq archive now but if I am not misstaken there was something with executing local code when sending "badly" formatted attachments. I know there are about 4000 printf bugs waiting to happen. Default is to hide the file extension so that we also get the nice problem of sexygirl.jpg.vbs, is it a nice girl or a virus? Eudora tells you (or used to tell you, didnt use it for a while) that where it saved the file with the full path and name, doesn't it? How about http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/12915. Anyway, I don't think a luser would refrain opening a file called sexygirl.jpg.vbs if a friend of his sent it and said it was a nice picture, would he?

pgp encrypt to self
Is there a variable which can be set to make mutt tell pgp to add myself to the list of recipients when encrypting mail? - this way I can actually read from the sent-mail file I'm fcc'ing to :) Thanks. -- -*% % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % *- -*xercist *- -*[EMAIL PROTECTED]*- -* % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % %*- PGP signature
two questions
1. Is there a debug feature in mutt for the .muttrc files? I have a line in .muttrc that is giving an error and I can't find it. 2. I would like to set up Lynx or Netscape to view html mail. How do I do that. 3. bonus question. I can't get color to work. I know color works in the xterm, because mc works fine. I tried a couple suggestions in the mutt FAQ but neither worked. -- Fred

find it.
When you say you can't find it what do you mean exactly?
When mutt reports an error in a muttrc file the error message is
usually pretty explicit. It gives the line number and a message
indicating what the error is.
If you're not getting a line number then I would suggest that it's
not a muttrc error. If you don't understand the error message then
please post the error here and we'll do our best! :-)
2. I would like to set up Lynx or Netscape to view html
mail. How do I do that.
I *think* most of what you need is a line in your .mailcap file
something like:-
text/html; lynx -force_html %s; needsterminal ; nametemplate=%s.html
3. bonus question. I can't get color to work. I know color
works in the xterm, because mc works fine. I tried a couple
suggestions in the mutt FAQ but neither worked.
Are you using S-Lang or ncurses, the answers may be different
according to which you are using ('mutt -v' will tell you).
