 Well, it's supposed to suck less than the other mail clients, right? :)

Way, indeed! This is the reason for switching to mutt a few months ago.

You could do this with a macro.

You know there is ;)

macro index F11 :set foo=blaenter\

But, when you want to set the same options in different situations,
you end up with a whole lot of redundant code in your .muttrc

Indeed. And luckily! :-)

In the meantime I arrived at the decision that my problem isn't the
source mechanism, but the workarounds for other mutt-specifics
(i.g. to change a single one default send-hook I have to unset every of
the other ones and define the rest [IMHO unnecessarily] again).  But
meanwhile that's ok so.

In small steps I begin to think better in mutt.

neato PGP/push thing... almost

2001-10-19 Thread Justin R. Miller

I was thinking that instead of rewriting messages with procmail to
change them from clearsigned to PGP/MIME, I'd set up a message-hook to
hit Esc-P for me automatically.  I tried this: 

message-hook ~h text/plain ~b -BEGIN push '\eP'

I figured that the above would catch the right messages (which it does)
and do the job.  However, it appears that Mutt goes into an infinite
loop, continuing to spawn gpg processes as it keeps performing the push
over and over again -- after all, it's not a one-time command like 'set'
or 'subscribe'.  Any ideas how I could make it work?

all dates are wrong, every mail got the same date and time

2001-10-19 Thread Manuel Hendel

Hello,

yesterday I switched my mailboxes from mbox format to maildir. Today I
switched back because I didn't like the maildir does it.
Yesterday, I converted my mboxes, doing the followning:

cat mbox| formail -s procmail

That worked fine. Today I did it the other way round, I converted my
maildirs, doing the following:

for i in `ls maildir/new`; do cat /maildir/new/$i | formail -s
procmail; done

Everything worked fine, except that all my mails have the same date
and time. The date and time when I did the converting. Is there any
way to fix this. Where does mutt gets the time and date for the mails
from?

Thanks for any help,
Manuel

listed below. Please review this list and compare the possible errors 
with your message. If possible, correct the error and re-send your

1. Your PGP signed message was MIME-encapsulated. Most Windows based

support PGP signed messages that have been MIME-encapsulated. 

2. There are extra characters in your message, which distort your PGP 
signature and make it impossible for us to confirm that your signature 
is correct. These extra characters are inserted when a PGP plugin for 
Outlook or Eudora are used to sign a message, and the message is then 
sent to a system using a UNIX platform, which we use. Currently, we 
cannot support PGP signed messages sent from a computer using any 
platform other than UNIX.

3. Although PGP is your Guardian method, you did not sign your message 
with your PGP private key. Please sign your message with your PGP 
private key and return it by e-mail to VeriSign at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

4. It appears that you have more than one PGP private key. Although you 
signed this message with a PGP key, you didn't use the PGP private key

If it's anything like the nic.uk robot, then you'll have a lot of
messing around. The uk robot insists on:

- messages are old-style (non-mime) pgp signed, ':set
  pgp_create_traditional' doesn't work either.

- Your public key can't be self-signed.

- You must use an RSA key.

How does mutt know when there's new mail in an mbox?

2001-10-19 Thread Charles Cazabon

Greetings,

I'm the author of getmail, a POP3 retriever/fetchmail replacement.  One
of my users reports that when getmail delivers messages to an mbox file
while mutt is running, mutt doesn't realize there's new mail in that
mbox file (I don't run into this, as I use Maildirs, and mutt has no
problems with them and new mail).

How does mutt check to see if there's new mail in an mbox file?  When
getmail delivers messages to it, the mtime and size of the mbox would
change.  Is this not enough?  What else should getmail do to be
mutt-friendly?

cc's not necessary; I read the list.

Thanks,

Hi,

I would love to define following in my .muttrc (for obvious reasons):

macro index \ee "resend-messagef$recordenter" \

but unfortunately it doesn't work.

I have defined previously in my .muttrc

set record=+sent-`date +%Y-%m`

so I would really like to use this rather complicated construct in
representation. For this time, I use

macro index \ee "resend-messagef+sent-`date +%Y-%m`enter" \
 "resend message with fcc set to sent_mail"

but it is getting really hairy (and not good for maintenance of
.muttrc). Have anybody an idea, how could I use predefined variable in

Global Operation on Tagged Messages

2001-10-19 Thread Tim Johnson

Hello All: 
I would like to tag a number of messages, and then
perform the same operation on all of them.

Example 1: Tag some messages, then delete them all at once.

Example 2: Tag some messages, then save them all to a particular
   archive.

1)How may I do this?
2)Where is documentation on this?

TIA
Regards

Mailcap headaches

2001-10-19 Thread Norm

Hi

I am having serious problems with mailcap!  In my home directory resides
a perfectly formed if small .mailcap file, however Mutt refuses to
recognise it.  I keep getting the message :-

mailcap entry for type text/html not found

Here are the relevant headers :-

Content-Return: allowed
Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Length: 31956

and here is the ~/.mailcap file incase I'm being a numptie.

image/*; kview %s;copiousoutput;needsterminal
text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html


TIA

Norm.

Thus spake Tim Johnson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 1)How may I do this?

Tag with 't', or tag a pattern with 'Cntl-T', etc.  Hit ';' and 'd' to
delete, or ';' and 's' to save, etc. 

 2)Where is documentation on this?

Try instead:

text/html; lynx -force_html -dump %s; copiousoutput

That works for me.

No, it doesn't.

 .muttrc?

I wrote a patch to Mutt 1.3.2 last year which could expand
$$variable or $${variable} in Mutt commands. It was two $

It was posted to the mutt-dev list, but I have never got
any feed back or requests to update to newer versions, so
I almost forgot about it.

You might want to check out auto_tag:

# set auto_tag=no
#
# Name: auto_tag
# Type: boolean
# Default: no
#
#
# When set, functions in the index menu which affect a message
# will be applied to all tagged messages (if there are any).  When
# unset, you must first use the tag-prefix function (default: ;) to
# make the next function apply to all tagged messages.

set return for multiple users

2001-10-19 Thread Lance Hoffmeyer

I want to set return for multiple users in my globle Muttrc file.
I tried

set return = {imap server name}user.imap_user.sent

but imap_user was not recognized as a variable.
what is the correct variable for current user?

Re: Tag Multiple Attachments?

2001-10-19 Thread John P. Verel

Sigh.  Well, here's the answer, sports fans.  Upon close inspection of
my .muttrc, I noted that I'd changed my folder_format (manual reference
6.3.43) from the default setting to %N %8s %d %f:  i.e, I'd eliminated
the display of the tag flag, the *.  So, tagging was working, but the *
to show it was not.

In my effort to streamline the file folder display, I outdid myself.
Moral here?  RTF.muttrc, John ;(

Cheers

John

 Well, I just tried something, with interesting result.  I went to the

 I typed t.  BUTwhen I went back to the compose menu, the tagged

 that the * is not showing up in the attachment menu.  I'll have a look
 at the menu in the morning to see about this.  But if anyone has a
 suggestion on changing the way the attachment screen is laid out, I'd
 love to hear it!
 
 Thanks.

  Perhaps your t is bound to something other than tag-entry.  Perhaps
  you're hitting q instead of Enter after tagging.  When you tag files,
  it should place a * next to the listed permissions.  Does it at least do
  that?  If not, your t is probably wrong.  If so, then just hit enter after
  tagging everything and you should be good to go.
