Re: Colors when replying to messages
Hello,
what I mean is that (see original messages and excerpt from my
muttrc.vim below):
1) I received your reply
2) I selected it from the index
3) I saw your reply colored like this:
Headers: blue on grey
Your msg : Black on white
My original msg, now quoted: Black on grey
All as I want it to be. Now I have just hit r to reply, and see:
1) Headers above these lines in a mix of brightgreen, magenta and yellow
2) The On 2001/04/25 18:52:50 -0400, Mr. Wade wrote: line below black
on grey
3) Your reply (level one quoting) blue on grey
4) My orig. msg. (level 2 quoting) cyan on grey, practically unreadable
5) The text I'm writing now black on grey
Black on grey is the Xdefault I have set for all my xterms.
$EDITOR, $editor and $VISUAL are undefined.
The editor looks like some vi to me, from its behavior. I have done
find /usr /etc -type f -iname *vi*|grep -i mutt
and found /usr/share/vim/vim56/syntax/muttrc.vim
If I grep -i color on it, I get what follows below.
In short, I think your suggestions and comments do make a lot of sense,
but can't see in my setup anything related to them. I wonder if at this
point I should ask for some muttrc.vim file and compare against mine.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

I have colors set in .muttrc as I like both in the index and when

or in the .muttrc files I downloaded from the net anything about
this, and even the /etc/Muttrc file doesn't contain anything related
to colors.
I guess I could patch this with a send-hook which applies to ALL
outgoing messages, but I'd like to know both why does this happen,
and if there are more elegant/proper ways to do it.
Any help/pointers/muttrc examples explaining how to set colors
only when sending messages would be really appreciated.
If you are talking about the colors in your editor while you are
composing the message, then Mutt is not responsible for coloring.
You will need to address that issue with your editor's
configuration files or settings.
Note that the $editor variable specifies which editor is used by
Mutt. It defaults to the value of the $EDITOR or $VISUAL
environment variables, or to vi. If $editor is null, then Mutt
seems to use some sort of mailx-like internal editor (in which
coloring is not an issue.)
If you are talking about how message bodies look in the pager
before sending, then I don't know how to help you. They are not
colored the same way a message is colored when viewed in the
pager, (but the headers are not displayed, so I am thinking you
are talking about this, since you specifically mentioned the
headers.) If readability is impaired, the object normal may
help improve that, e.g.
color normal cyan black
I hope you get it fixed to your liking. :)

Wild guess here, try checking out $HOME/.kde/config/kfm There is stuff in there for the KDE File Manager which seems to handle mime types and stuff for lots of k programs. You may manage something there. For example, to have kmail start StarOffice for M$Word docs, I had to create an msword.kdelnk in a mimetypes/application directory somewhere under $HOME/.kde since msword docs come as application/msword under mime. I just copied another .kdelnk file in the same directory and edited it to suit *.doc files and to launch staroffice. I also had to include application/msword in another file (possibly Staroffice.kdelnk) in another directory under $HOME/.kde (possibly config/kfm) to get everything going. After that, all that remained was to exit and restart kde. As you may have guessed, I'm not at the machine on which I did all this stuff just now but if you can't figure something out yourself, shout and I'll see if I can work out exactly what I did!

That looks like this. unmy_hdr * Well, from what I've been told by others, if you have the line for unmy_hdr in your .muttrc, it will ignore error messages that you may have from reading the .muttrc. That's what allowed the problem to slip through, but the problem was caused by the line for Organization. If you leave my_hdr Organization: blank, it causes an error. It will allow you to open your mailbox and move around in them and read messages, and even right them, but as soon as you try and send them, you recieve a lovely segment fault, and sometimes a core is dumped. Instead of just ignoring the blank field is dies on you. Personally this being the case is completely retarded, but that's just me. I spent almost an entire day trying to figure out why I had two users, that would continue to get segment faults each time they sent mail. But 5 other users were just fine!

In the .muttrc you can specify who you are, your email address and the organization that you belong to. The lines would look something like this. my_hdr From: Tim Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] my_hdr Organization: UNIXTECHS ORG my_hdr Reply-To: Tim Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well there's often another line in the .muttrc that tell tells it to remove all extra headers as well. That looks like this. unmy_hdr * Well, from what I've been told by others, if you have the line for unmy_hdr in your .muttrc, it will ignore error messages that you may have from reading the .muttrc. That's what allowed the problem to slip through, but the problem was caused by the line for Organization. If you leave my_hdr Organization: blank, it causes an error. It will allow you to open your mailbox and move around in them and read messages, and even right them, but as soon as you try and send them, you recieve a lovely segment fault, and sometimes a core is dumped. Instead of just ignoring the blank field is dies on you. Personally this being the case is completely retarded, but that's just me. I spent almost an entire day trying to figure out why I had two users, that would continue to get segment faults each time they sent mail. But 5 other users were just fine! That's what pointed me towards the .muttrc. After rebuilding my .muttrc file line by line, (Which was a pain in the @%$ if you ask me!) and finally found that it was the Organization line that was causing my problem. I removed that line, and the problem is gone. I think the people with mutt were retarded for doing that! But again... that's just me. -- Bob Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - For example, OS/360 devotes 26 bytes of the permanently resident date-turnover routine to the proper handling of December 31 on leap years (when it is Day 366).

Re: Segfault
begin Bob Bell quotation: I'm unable to reproduce this with mutt 1.3.11i. Have you tried to reproduce it? Do you have a few short lines I can add to my muttrc to reproduce it? No, I was not able to reproduce it, sorry I forgot to mention that. I took it for granted that he was giving me exact information. I will check to see if he has a copy of the .muttrc that was giving him the problem. If he does, I'll examine it and optionally send it to you/anybody if requested. -- Blue skies...

Re: Using multiple mail server for uploading mail
On Thu, Apr 26, 2001 at 10:14:11PM +0200, Rod Pike typed: This is probably off topic and more related to sendmail but is anybody using mutt to upload mail to different mailservers. I have two mailservers I download from but I currently only know how to configure mutt and sendmail to send mail through one server. Can a send hook be used so that ultimately, a different mail server will be used to send the mail? If you follow a consistent pattern in this, you could set up a mailertable on your local sendmail domain1.comrelay:mail.domain1.com domain2.orgrelay:smtp.somewhere.com Your normal smarthost would remain the same. However, what's the need for this? As long as the smtp server you are using allows you to relay through it, I dont see any reason for changing the smtp server for each mailserver ... use the same smtp server and use set envelope_from in your .muttrc ps - Check out Andrzej Filip's posts on comp.mail.sendmail - I think he has posted a more elegant solution to this one. -s -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin
how to only save certain sent mail
Hello, You may have received several old messages from me in the last 24hrs for which I apologise. Yesterday, I opened up KMail for the first time, it found my mutt 'outbox' (sent mail - I realise now it was poorly labeled) and assumed that the last four months of mail in that file had not yet been sent. KMail queues mail in a file called, you've guessed it, 'outbox'. After setting up a test message to myself, I presssed the send button and saw over 400 old messages fly by without any warning that it had picked up the mail in that file. Anyway, I have renamed my mutt sent mail file now and it has got me wondering how I can just save certain mail with a key command prior to sending, while not saving all other sent mail by default. Basically, I want to slimline my sent mail file to contain only mail I have decided I'd like to keep a copy of. Is this possible in mutt? Thanks and sorry again for the inconvenience. Joss (Long Live Mutt! Out with KMail!) please CC me if you have any ideas.

Default subject
When replying to a message with an empty subject, Mutt defaults the subject to you mail. Is there a way I can change this? Thanks, Eugene

Rod Pike wrote: Can a send hook be used so that ultimately, a different mail server will be used to send the mail? Just off the top of my head... you could use a send-hook to change the $sendmail variable to call a script that would copy an alternate sendmail.cf into /etc/sendmail.cf before passing the email to sendmail. Of course,... overwriting /etc/sendmail.cf would require root access, necessitating the use of sudo. Hmm... I guess it's more complicated than I first thought. =) -- Linux: The Choice of the GNU Generation
