My current mutt (1.2.5i on FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE) seems to have some problems: I have set up mutt so that it accesses new mail that has been filtered into my various inboxes and, once I have read these new messages, moves them to other folders for later review by me. Now, my archive folders have always worked fine, i.e. I could always successfully access them when I wanted to look at some old message. However, today I noticed that when accessing a few (but not all) of these folders, mutt dumps core. I have tried several things, but I don't know what's wrong. Therefore, I uploaded one of my mbox files which triggers a core dump. It can be found at http://www.tisys.org/misc/xpert (it's a folder containing XFree86 mailing list messages, about 3.3 MB in size). I'd appreciate if someone could try downloading and opening it it mutt, preferrably also in 1.2.5i, but probably also in the latest beta. If you try that and it also crashed your mutt, my mailbox file(s) must have gotten corrupt (although I could not find any sign for that). If it works for you, something must be wrong with my configuration ;-) So, I'd be glad if some folks would try this out and report the results to me. I've already tried opening the mailbox file(s) on all of my machines without success, so the only thing left to do is probably call others for a test... I downloaded it and it works without any problem here (FreeBSD 4.5-RC, Mutt 1.3.25i). Have you compiled mutt youself?

mutt mime.types
Hi there, some time ago I reported problems with mailcap handlers for tar.(gz|bz2) files.

I got really bothered by this, and run mutt in strace. While I could see mutt opening ~/.mailcap, there was no mention of mime.types. So I got mutt log debug info, but this didn't show mutt using mime.types either. Might be the right piece of code doesn't call the dprint() macro; the only place where the code mentions mime.types is check_mime_type() in sendlib.c, however. Plus, it looks like this function is only called when you *compose* a message (because then I get the right content type).

Clear-signing should work if the mail is properly converted in both directions during the process, but as Paul has showed, it might break at some point because of a broken MTA and/or broken setup. I still think this is better than the original behavior, and it could also be taken care of by having mutt convert the message to 8bit before feeding it to gpupg. BTW, I tested the patch with Outlook today and it works as supposed.

Re: Mutt dumps core...
On Sat, Jan 12, 2002 at 11:06:56AM -0500, David T-G stood up and spoke: I pulled it down and opened it with 1.2.5 and 1.3.25 with no problem. First of all, thanks to everyone who tested it! Now, I have found that if I install FreeBSD's mutt-devel port, which is mutt 1.3.25, it also works fine here. However, when using the current stable version of mutt (1.2.5), the problem always happens - no matter if I recompile mutt, and no matter on which one of my machines I try it. Since people have reported that my mailbox file works for them even in mutt 1.2.5, the problem may be caused by one of the FreeBSD specific patches, as included in the FreeBSD ports tree. However, since everything works fine with 1.3.25, I don't see a reason to do much more research on this. I will probably simply install 1.3.25 on all my machines and forget about it ;-) Greetings Nils -- Nils Holland Ti Systems - FreeBSD in Tiddische, Germany http://www.tisys.org * [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unfortunately this leaves me in a rather annoying place.
I have to either (as I'm doing now) use pine and deal with it's poor
handling of PGP/GPG and eventually find or write a patch which makes pine
handle PGP/MIME bodies, or I have to learn a new mailer, deal with it's
poor handling of folders and eventually find or write a patch which gives
it the folder handling I want.
If there is someone who wants to take on (or collaborate) on taking on
this second task, I'd love to discuss it and help with it as I consider
myself a fair-to-decent coder :)

Re: Question about mutt and folders
FWIW, I have this same annoyance with Mutt's IMAP handling. It's damned near imposible to copy a message between folders on different servers or local without a bunch of typing.

Default newsserver can be obtained from NNTPSERVER environment variable. Like other news readers, info about subscribed newsgroups is saved in file by ``$newsrc'' variable. Article headers are cached and can be loaded from file when newsgroup entered instead loading from newsserver. I compiled mutt like this, just now: ./configure --enable-nntp make make install and mutt is acting exactly like nntp was not compiled in: - -g and -G are invalid options - i key is not bound - etc. What is the matter with this thing? *Sigh*.

In this case, there _is_ a need since there's no feedback _whatsoever_ that Ispell ran. This isn't true at the command line: % touch foo % ispell check foo % _ Here you can see that Ispell completed because the shell presented you with a new prompt and a blinking cursor eagerly awaiting input.

Nothing happens. Why isn't Ispell running? you think. What did I break? Were there no errors, or did it not run? With the traditional Ispell program, this isn't an issue since it will almost always catch a misspelling in one of the headers. With aspell -e, however, Aspell skips past the message headers.

I'm not sure why. I'm including in the message everything between (but not including) the LAST Content-Blah: header and the mime boundary. I also tried removing the trailing and leading blank lines. No comination of that helped. Is there some magic trick? Does mutt sign some other portion of the text message, or include mime headers? This would make no sense to me, but I suppose it's possible. What am I missing?
