fcc folder new mail notification
Hi all, this probably has come up, but I couldn't find it. I looked for it, honestly!! ;-) When I send mail to a particular friend, I set the fcc folder to the folder in which procmail delivers mail from this friend. This folder is listed in my 'mailboxes' directive. But, however, when I am _not_ in my friends folder, and send mail to that friend, Mutt thinks that I have new mail in that folder. Of course (, Rob, ;-) Mutt is right in thinking that, but it does confuse me a bit (whow, a reply *that* fast?). What's a reasonable workaround for this?

Re: patchlist
John -- ...and then John Kearney said... % where can i get my hands on a copy of patchlist.c/.sh ? I don't know if it's the same thing, but in the old days of lots of feature and bugfix patches there was a list of all patches that would get compiled and included and would then show up in `mutt -v` for reference. Sec Zehl liked that and so, when the patchlist inclusion was dropped from the distribution, he wrote a patch that brought it back so that his patches could reference it. Since I add patches in bunches, I maintain multiple copies of patchlist.c for copying into the build tree as I make in stages (but Rene said to not ask why so maybe I shouldn't tell you :-) You can find the patchlist patch, which will create an empty patchlist.c file to which you can add, at my mutt build page at http://mutt.justpickone.org/mutt-build-cocktail/ in the file listing; look for patch-0.00.sec.patchlist.7.dtg (and to see how I implement it check out 00.makeme.sh).

Blank Line after the Status Line
All, Is there a way to add a blank line after the Status Line to seperate it from the first message (having two highlighted lines side-by-side isn't what I wanted)? I looked through the status_format information on the www.mutt.org web-site and couldn't find anything. I tried adding \n at the end and that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Todd

HTML viewing question
Hi all, Because of the recent discussion on third party apps, I started tuning my mailcap file. I have these wishes: When somebody sends me an HTML email (or some blabla mailing list), I would like to: - view the dumped output in the pager (text/html; links -dump %s; nametemplate=mutt.html; copiousoutput) - browse when I explicitly visit the attachment in the attachment menu. So really fire up links (text/html; links %s; nametemplate=%s.html) The latter is handy when you have to follow links to unsubscribe from that list, muhahaha :) Does anybody know a convenient way to do this?

Wrapping text
I'm not sure this is quite a Mutt question, but someone on here probably has a good answer. I have a hook for creating custom signature. In it, I call a program which sometimes generates really long lines which I have to wrap myself. Is there any way to have vim wrap them? I have textwidth set to 76, so that as I type, it wraps. But it does not wrap lines that are already there, if you know what I mean. If that's not possible, does anyone know of quick and dirty way to, say, do it in bash? It's already a bash script now. -- Sean LeBlanc, [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM- Yahoo: seanleblancathome ICQ: 138565743 MSN: seanleblancathome AIM: sleblancathome Under capitalism man exploits man; under socialism the reverse is true. -Polish proverb Management QOTD:It's all topsoil in a drought year if we don't accelerate and maintain our commitment to the management wrapper, etc.
Bouncing a message with an attachment
If I bounce a message that has (For example) a .doc attachment, the receipient gets all the headers and .doc is inline with the message and totally garbled. What are the correct muttrc parameters for this. Ones I have that may apply are: set mime_forward_rest = yes set message_format = %s set mime_forward=ask-no unset mime_forward_decode set rfc2047_parameters = no I've read the list archives on forwarding a message with attachments but these don't seem to apply to bouncing.
