Umlaut blues
Hi, list This _is_ getting a FAQ, I know, but I tried all I remembered with this problem. I compiled mutt-1.3.21 with imap and ssl support, not touching the nls setting. My LANG is set C and my LC_CTYPE is de_DE. Still, my umlauts show a question mark. What did I miss?

i just compiled mutt 1.2.5 in my home directory on a shell account on a machine for which i don't have root access (later versions aren't happy compiling for some reason, but 1.2.5 worked ok). a couple questions; i installed libiconv 1.7 in my home dir and pointed --with-libiconv to my lib directory (tried pointing it to my home dir too). later versions of mutt say 'iconv is not good enough - try getting libiconv instead. i'm pretty sure that's the same libiconv i am supposed to use - is there a reason that's not working? (i installed ncurses too so the version of ncurses is fairly recent). cihost (the provider of the account) actually TOLD me that they broke mutt so it would segfault (instead of just uninstalling it) because they claim it uses up too much system resources. i think that's bs but that's neither here nor there. anyway i don't use the account that much so i don't really care about having the latest version. my actual question is that whenever i send a message, using either fcc-hook or set record (currently using fcc-hook): #set record =~/mail/sent-mail fcc-hook $ +sent-mail i get a new mail message in sent-mail. i do have sent-mail set as a mailbox, but i have this set other places as well i'm pretty sure without problem (my main account is Maildir so that's different, I assume). any way to surpress this with 1.2.5? w -- Sintax error in config file!

Strange - everything else looks correct.
We'll need the relevant parts of your config.log, too.
ok. i'll include what seems to be relevant in an attached text file.

Archivation through mutt?
Hi, I am preparing to get back to Linux (unfortunately, I have been stacked for some at Windows notebook, but I am to return back to Linux soon; wov!) and I have decided to implement an option of Outlook that I miss in mutt (actually, probably the only option I miss :-). It was so easy to archive older messages to another message store or delete some old messages from the Trash folder. Therefore, I have decided to create my own small shell script doing something similar (see attached). However, I am really not a programmer and I am still slightly scare of Bash. Could you comment, please, on the attached script and tell me whether I am to shoot off my foot with this script? Actually, it would be nice, if there was some ./contrib directory in mutt distribution containing such small scripts (and examples of some more advanced configuration options) helping newbies in mutt world?

viewing attachments automatically?
hello, is there a way to tell mutt in which order to process attachments. in particular, i get lots of mail sent by people who use outlook. that thing sends out 2 copies of the message : plain text and html. in fact, the attachment menu looks like this: I 1 no description [multipa/alternativ, 7bit, 2.9K] I 2 |-no description[text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0.8K] I 3 `-no description[text/html, 7bit, us-ascii, 1.8K] when i hit enter in pager, to view the message, by default i get html which is '-dump'ed by lynx. is ther any way to make it so that i am taken to text/plain attachment instead? or perhaps should i do this in my procmail by stripping out the text/html? this does not sound like a very good solution because what if i actually do need to read html? (not usually the case, but...) i am sorry if this question has been asked. i am using mutt 1.2.5i and relevant parts of .mailcap look like this: text/html; lynx -force_html %s text/html; lynx -dump -force_html %s; copiousoutput thanks for any information. denis ps. i found these in one of the posts, so i did not investigate why i need both yet -- // mailto: Denis Perelyubskiy [EMAIL PROTECTED] // icq : 12359698 // PGP : http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~denisp/files/pgp.asc
wierd new mail problem
Hey all, I'm using mutt 1.2.5i, and I've got a very strange problem with new mail. I'm using mutt to access IMAP folders, and the binary and shared data reside on NFS. Here's the problem: On some systems where I run mutt, it works as you would expect. On others, after I read all the new messages in a folder which it marked as having new mail, and then try to change to the next folder with new mail, but it would send me back into the same folder, thinking that there was still new mail there. Going back out to the index also reveals that mutt thinks there's still new mail in the folder, but re-entering the folder shows that there isn't any new mail. I ran mutt on 4 machines, and it exhibited this behavior on two of them. The breakdown is this: Red Hat 6.2, linux 2.2.19 (stock): works Red Hat 6.2, linux 2.2.19 (Red Hat): doesn't work Red Hat 7.1, linux 2.4.7 (stock): works Red Hat 7.1, linux 2.4.8 (stock): doesn't work All machines are running with the same binary from NFS, accessing the same IMAP server. No two clients are started at the same time, so it's not a locking problem. All machines are synchronized via NTP, so the system time on all 5 machines is within about 10 ms.

Mutt can be told the order of preference for multipart/alternative messages. I use this: alternative_order text/enriched text/plain text/html This says that if text/enriched is available as one presentation of the same content, then I want to see it; otherwise, if text/plain is present, I would prefer it over text/html. Mutt will show only one of these alternatives. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

I think this might help: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-5.html#alternative_order It explains how to choose to display plain text if such a multipart exists.

aliasing multiple addresses
Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a way to tag or somehow get mutt to alias multiple addresses in an email (a la Pine). Specifically, mutt only looks to the From: address. Can it also allow selections from the Cc: field or body of the email? Thanks, Art
