pointer to multiple email address setup
Hi Everyone, I've been presented with the requirement to pick up email from my works server, using an alternate email address. Problem is that I need to do this fairly quickly. I'm sure this is a fairly common thing, I would appreciate if there is one a pointer to configuring fetchmail, procmail and mutt to chuck the mail into it's own mail file and have mutt know what email address to use and which signature to use. Many thanks, Pete. -- Due to a lack of imagination, this signature will remain under construction indefinately.

I don't know of a single pointer, but it should be easy enough. fetchmail comes with its own docs, and other folks here use it, so I'll simply say point it to your POP server and download the mail. BTW, I've heard that it really is better to use fetchmail than the built-in POP support. procmail is similar, and trivially easy in this case. Your mail will be addressed to that certain other address, so you could whip up a procmailrc about like # General variables VERBOSE=no LINEBUF=32766 MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail # Folders DEFAULT=$HOME/Mailbox :0 : * TO otheraddress F.other to tell procmail to drop mail addressed to otheraddress in the To: or Cc: headers into a file F.other in your mail dir ($HOME/Mail in this case). Anything that doesn't match will fall through and (in the absence of other rules that might catch it) land in your default mail file, which in this example is $HOME/Mailbox (rather than in /var/spool). For more info, see the man page for procmailrc. Finally we get to mutt, then. One way is to set $alternates to let mutt know all of the addresses that you use (always handy, actually), and set $reverse_reply to make mutt set your email address to that to which the email was sent. Another way, since you've conveniently used procmail to stuff all of these into their own folder, is to use a folder hook in your muttrc about like folder-hook . my_hdr 'From: My Default [EMAIL PROTECTED]' folder-hook F.other my_hdr 'From: My OtherAddress [EMAIL PROTECTED]' to set your From header by default to your normal address but to your other address whenever you switch into your other folder.

My first macro..not quite doing what I want
Hello, A common sequence for me when reading new messages is to delete then move to the next new message. My macro is as follows: macro index F10 dtab Delete then go to next new msg Unfortunately when you delete a new message the pointer goes to the next message in the index, so if you have 3 new messages in a row, F10 the first one, it jumps to the 3rd one. Can I fix this ? -- Regards Cliff

nfrm/frm in mutt ?
Hi list, I recently switched to using Mutt for all my mail. Sure do like it ! But I do miss some tools I had back when using ELM, namely frm and nfrm. frm listed all mails in a specified mailbox (or $MAIL if none was specified) and nfrm listed all new mails (I think nfrm was a specialized form of frm, but I'm not sure). Where are these great tools ? Can I simply run mutt with some commandline options - I did not find these in mutt(1). Should I build these from the source tree with some special make target (make nfrm) ? Do they not exist (but WHY !? ;-) ? Current solution would be downloading elm, compiling these tools and installing them by hand. Any thoughts ? Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd

OT: replace POP3 with IMAP directly
hi. a little OT here i'm wondering what are the requirements to replace POP3 with IMAP? in my fetchmail i download emails using POP3. now i've learned that IMAP doesn't require the user to do POP-before-SMTP hence with that i don't have to check for emails before being able to send out emails. is this just a straight-forward replace of the keyword? thanks. -- In is out and out is in.

Re: Using PGP signature with mutt ..problem
Hi there, I asked this before, but this seems to be a right thread too: I'm using mutt with pgp5i. Signing works well, encrypting with RSA-keys the same after adding the pathes to the little helpers in .mutt/muttrc (pgpewrap and pgpring; stuff copied from the examples - yes, I'd better sourced the example-rcfile ;-). But using DH/DSS-keys won't work: - the pgp-key-menu shows all DH/DSS-key with wrong key-IDs - telling the right ID manually doesn't find the key as well :-(( Any idea?

There are a couple of good reasons not to use ^TO or ^TO_ when sorting out mailing lists. The first is speed, ^TO variants are big regexps that take a while to evaluate, especially when you pile up lots of them in a row (man procmailrc for the actual regexs). Secondly ^TOs miss a bunch of mails, I regularly got mails from mutt development, bugtraq, and a few other lists falling through ^TO based filters. It wasn't a matter of bad address regexs, these emails used bcc only addressing and no (X-)?Apparently-To:, it seems mutt lists set Delivered-To: which isn't part of the ^TO_ regex. The fastest way to sort out mailing lists is to pick off a custom header used by the list (with a ^ rooted regex) and then order the rules by posting frequency.
