print_command ignored?
I'm having problems with the print_command I have set in my muttrc being ignored. These problems are with version 1.2.5. I have print_command set as: set print_command = enscript -2Gr I've also tried setting it equal to a2ps, or even /bin/false, but it always prints to lpr (I've checked this by adding some debugging statements to the code which print the PrintCmd). I know that my muttrc is being read, because if I intentionally add errors to it mutt chokes on them. Also, I tried using -n to ignore the sytem wide muttrc, but that had no effect. Any hints on how to debug this? I started to look at the configuration file reading part of the code, but C is not my best language so I am not very sure what to look at.

Newbie question
hi all.. finally i have got mutt working with fetchmail and procmail. I am really happy. I have a few questions, and basically want to know if i am doing things the right way. I hav a fetchmail daemon that gets mails from 3 accounts. procmail leaves mail from 1 account in spool, and sends the remaining two to their respective folders. I have added these 2 folders to the mailboxes. Now when i start mutt, i get only the spool. I have to do a c=foldrname to get to the folder. i expect this is normal. Is there some way in which i can get to know if any new messages are in the other folders without actually going into them? it so happens that i get most of the mail in the spool, and rerely check the other 2 folders since there is not very heavy traffic there. also, is it possible to transfer a mail from 1 folder to another? i have many other questions, but i think i can wait a while to get them sorted out. thanks in advance... ankit

folder-hook problem
Forgive me if this has been asked before, but what's wrong with this line
in my muttrc:
folder-hook outbox.*$ set index_format=%4C %Z %{%b/%d} %-20.20F (%4c) %s
It tells me that %Z is an unknown variable, and proceeds to only shows
message numbers in the index once I change to an outbox* folder (the %4C is
only working, I guess).
However, if I change to the folder and type
:set index_format=%4C %Z %{%b/%d} %-20.20F (%4c) %s
manually, everything is displayed the way I want it to.
I have tried it with 1.2.5 and 1.3.19 with the same result.

About emacs, about quoting text, about writing message.
Hi, three questions: 1.) about emacs text editing, 2.) about mutt quoting text, 3.) about mutt composing a new message 1.) I'm using vim and don't know too much of emacs. One thing I find very useful with vim is that if I want to wrap a very long quoted line with width greater than 80 characters and the line begins with the quotation character ' ', then I can hit gqap or gqip and I have the long line turned to a paragraph that has each line beginning with the quotation character ' ' and has width of 'textwidth' variable which is usually set to 72 characters. When I tried out emacs I didn't know how this works here and I was missing this function. So I turned back to vim again. Do you know if there is such a function in emacs? Is there any complete documentation of emacs available on the web? 2.) Editing an email with vim/mutt, I sometimes wish to insert/quote text from another email that I'm not currently replying to. I remember that there was such a function when I used pine some years ago. Pine's builtin editor pico (pine composer) read the contents from an other email to the cursor position after hitting a special key combination and entering the index number of the email in the current folder. Is there also an easy way to do this with mutt? 3.) Suppose I'm in the index and my position indication arrow is marking an email from somebody I want to write an email to. I don't want to hit 'r' because I don't want to _reply_ to this email. One solution would be: - hit '@' - mark the displayed author's ( = sender's ) address - hit 'm' to mail a new message - paste the sender's address into the To: field. Is there a function in mutt that does exactly this after hitting one key? Or how to define a macro to do this? An other, worse solution would be: hitting 'a', taking the sender's address into my address book, hitting 'm', entering the given nickname. Later: editing my address book and deleting the entry again. But this method is too much wasting time and awkward. Kind regards, -Jens

I personally had no problems. However, there is a note which says vvv can't coexist with Roland's compressed folders patch in that port. Did you enable both? -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin

* Gary Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [22:24 17/07/01]: No. The reason is that it is very time-consuming to obtain and keep up-to-date that information for large mbox folders. You should see an N indicator by folders containing new mail, though. Hey, i dont get any such indicator. guess i will have to look it up in the manual... ankit

Am Die, 17 Jul 2001, schrieb Lukasz Zamel: Procmail is really cool. I've downloaded a faq and it's not fo hard to configure. But still I have a small problem. I'm getting 'Error writing to ...' even if I set a+rw to those mailboxes. Did you set your MAILDIR Variable korrekt (normally $HOME/Mail) in your procmailrc. Perhaps you should use procmail in verbose mode (VERBOSE=yes) to detect the error. See this extraction from procmail's manpage about error messages: Error while writing to x Nonexistent subdirectory, no write permission, pipe died or disk full.

Re: Inc?
* Justin R. Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] [21:31 17/07/01]: I believe this is what accomplishes it: set status_on_top=yes You can also configure what this looks like with on of those ..._format variables. hi.. i tried to do this, but i have the following problem. i put in a %b in front of Inc. But, it always shows a zero, irrespective if whether any mailbox has new mail or not. ankit
