Hi, On Fri, 16 Nov 2001 Bela [EMAIL PROTECTED] spoke thusly: Hi, i thought my mail problems was solved, but i was wrong, i realize that mutt use pop3 protocol to recive my emails (execellent) but it DOES use my local sendmail, please, I am looking for a email client that ONLY uses imap or pop3 for sending and reciving, like netscape or mozilla mail but that can be execute without X-windows. AFAIK, POP3 and IMAP are purely for email retreival. Sending will _have_ to be through your MTA. I dont like to use my local sendmail!!!, Sendmail is not all _that_ ungainly a beast - I quite like it really. i have an offline machine, i just want to connect to internet, on console, execute a program, fetch email , read and send mail using ONLY pop3 or imap, is that posible on a modem unix like os such as freebsd ? is posible to set up mutt in order to use only pop3 or imap for sending and reciving? this is the realation i want: console X-windows nestcapelynx wordperfectvi/ee/pico netscape-mail what goes here?HELP!

imap-ssl and user certification
Hi! Does anybody know how I activate user certification within mutt? My imap server (via stunnel) requires that I present my certificate. I copy it in my .mutt/certs-file, certificate_file points to the correct file, but stunnel at the server says, that the client doesn't return a certificate. Any hints are welcome.

Re: send-hook to parse entry out of subject line and dump into CC field?
David,
I don't know how you're getting the 'indenter' program to indent
all your lines. I noticed something peculiar when handling the
mail in emacs.
So the message that mutt shows as the inline attached text
file is /tmp/mutt-stharms-lnx-27003-79. Here's the 'head' of
that file:

:UPDATE: Steven,
:
This is after having (F)iltered it thru my 'indenter' which puts a
single ':' at the front of $_ from the STDIN file handle.
Now if I (E)dit the file i notice in emacs' buffer name line that
the file I'm editing is:
/tmp/mutt-stharms-lnx-27003-87.
Running 'head' on this file produces:

Lo! My belov'd headers are there! It would seem that Mutt keeps the
text+headers in one file; upon save and return to mutt it
splits the headers OUT and treats the text section as another
file entirely.
This flies entirely in the face of what you say you were able
to accomplish. Does a similar effect NOT happen to you?
I assume it's not a version difference thing.
I'm going to see if manually prepending the headers I desire can
get me the results I want. I doubt it though.
(thanks for all the perl help from the mongers BTW)

David,
I thought I was on the right path with what you'd given me, regrettably,
I've not found a way to make this work.
When using Mutt, I Use emacs as the editor and mutt then creates an
ascii attachment from a file located in /tmp. I realized that I could
use the 'F' option to filter this tmpfile through a perl script or
something of that nature.
Regrettably, it seems that mutt chooses NOT to touch the headers -
even when edit_headers=yes. Here was my test.
I created 'hm.pl' which looks like:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
while (STDIN){
chomp;
print --$_\n;
}
With the ultimate goal of adding something like
if (/Subject/){$user_to_cc=s/stuff//; $_=Cc:$user_to_cc\n;print;}
So hm.pl was a preliminary test of manipulation.
So here's a reply I passed through it:

As you can see, the filter operation worked ONLY on the non-header data.
Possible solutions:
1. Find out the name of the /tmp/file (is it in a variable?) and then
execute some | command to insert the appropriate cc line into the
text.
I don't think this will work though. If there's still the
'header' versus 'ascii attachment [i.e. content] bifurcation,
having the ability to write to that text file isn't
going to affect the headers.
2. Find a way to access the headers themselves?

BUT!!! I don't understand why this is. Even as I type this message to
you, emacs tells me your message is /tmp/mutt-stharms-lnx-20706-83.

The header info in there plain as day. I guess when you terminate
the editor, mutt must move the 'header' content from the editor's
temp file into the 'header' and then leave the body as the
text attachment. This, of course, being the only thing operated
upon by the 'F' option.
Anyway, it appears I'm at an impasse. Anyone out there have any
ideas?

At this point I'd probably ensure that edit_headers is turned on so that
you get the whole shebang and use sed (or awk) to capture the subject

an additional line; mutt will handle it) and then dive into your editor

Some questions about trivial things
Wanted to ask some questions about some things that I haven't figured out yet. 1. How to go back to main mailbox, once I've done c to change to another folder? If I hit q for quit, it goes back to main mailbox, if there are still some unread messages there. Otherwise, it quits to shell prompt. This seems like a really stupid question, but I just can't figure it out. 2. How to select and move (or copy, if there is no move) multiple messages to other folders? I haven't found a move, just a copy, and so far, I've been doing it one message at a time.

I haven't found a move, just a copy, and so far, I've been doing it one message at a time. You're going to want to tag messages.
