How to pipe attachment to netscape?
Previously I have this in my .mailcap: text/html; netscape -remote openfile\\(%s\\) But I change to use this for speed: text/html; lynx %s; nametemplate=%s.html * I still want to view the attachment with netscape as an alternative if it's worth the effort. I plan to have a macro to do it. But could I use pipe? (I see the problem with %s.) Is there any trick for it? * And strange, now my lynx just show the source content of html instead of the previous formated view. What's wrong? :-( best, charlie

Re: statistics
i was thinking about counting every single mail i send and get. kind of silly statistics that could amaze me when i'm 70. Take a look at mail2clf which creates a log-file of mail-messages it gets. So you could pipe all incoming mails through it to get a log of the incoming messages. And if you save all outgoing messages to sent-mail, you could start a cronjob every night to pipe them through mail2clf (with another logfile) and save them to another file (so as not to count them twice). And when you are 70 and you still have your maillogs, you can run those statistic-tools over this files to create statistics, from whom you got mail, when you wrote most of your mails and so on... Just a suggestion. CLF btw are Common Log Files normally written by webservers to get the hits on your server. But just take a look at it.

getmail bug reported: failed to work with procmail or maildrop
(I post it to mutt-users, too, because I called for help here first and I realize many mutt users want getmail very much to assist mutt, like me.) SYMPTOM getmail always reports things like below in logfile: retrieved message 3939610e6c2e596fee8bbb94d4c03a54 new message [EMAIL PROTECTED]: from #@[] Aborting... (command /usr/bin/procmail -m /home/jie/.procmail-filter returned -1 ()) and you'll repeately receive the same mail in your mailbox, while ignoring the rest mails in remote pop server. ANALYSYS 1. I can not blame procmail because it finished delivery, it has no error in its log, and it exits with 0 if I run it from bash(1). 2. I check procmail mailing list archive: 2001-12/msg00036: Re: Procmail returning -1 (trace of procmail spawned from getmail) which concluded: That getmail is seeing a different exit status would seem to indicate that there's a bug in getmail... 3. I recalled and checked bash(1) that exit values range only from 0 to 255. The 'returned -1' is strange. 4. I looked into getmail.py and identified where the message from. It appears like: cmd = popen2.Popen3 (command, 1, bufsize=-1) ... r = cmd.poll () if err or r: raise getmailDeliveryException, 'command %s returned %i (%s)' \ % (command, r or 0, err) 5. I searched in Web for what's poll (I have no idea about Python.) and get: class Popen3 Class representing a child process. Normally instances are created by the factory functions popen2() and popen3(). poll(self) Return the exit status of the child process if it has finished, or -1 if it hasn't finished yet. wait(self) Wait for and return the exit status of the child process. 6. Now it's clear that getmail.py using 'poll' is responsible for the early aborting. getmail should not quit the game just because his team member can not work as fast as him. ;-) That 'poll' returns -1 doesn't indicate an error. It's just the case the child process has not yet finished. It's not an exit value of child process, either. ACTION Fix the bug by replacing the 'poll' with 'wait' in /usr/lib/getmail/getmail.py. Now my getmail does a good job. best regards, charlie P.S. I've tried to use maildrop other than procmail, while having the following log message: Aborting... (command /usr/bin/maildrop ~/.maildroprc returned 19200 (maildrop: signal 0x06)) I can not explain the 'returned 19200'. For someone's exercise. ;-)
Re: S/MIME patch for Mutt-1.3.26
Works well for me. The patches didn't apply without some offsets, but they all applied with no rejs. Thanks, pete On Fri, 18 Jan 2002, Schiraldi, Mike wrote: Attached is a version of the S/MIME patch that will work with mutt-1.3.26. (Or at least it appears to work -- let me know if you have any problems) If this is your first time using the S/MIME patch, visit the project page at http://elmy.myip.org/mutt/smime.html and download the smime-keys.pl script so you can import your keys. Also attached are two patches you can optionally apply afterward. They work best together: color4.patch adds a new pattern, ~V, which returns true if the message has a verified signature (i.e. shows up with an S in the index). This works for both PGP and S/MIME. I suggest using it with the following .muttrc lines: color index yellow default ~g color index green default ~V indicator.patch changes the behavior of the indicator bar when it is defined as mono indicator reverse (the default). Usually it would always make the indicator bar have a foreground that is set to the default background color and a background that is set to the default foreground color. With this patch, the indicator bar, when set to reverse, will have a foreground color set to the background color that the current message would have if it were not selected, and a background color set to the foreground color that the current message would have if it were not selected. In summary, if you apply all three patches and add those two lines to your .muttrc, you'll see signed messages in yellow and verified messages in green. The indicator bar will also turn these colors to reflect the status of the currently selected message. If you use pager_index_lines to keep part of the index onscreen while reading messages, you'll be able to clearly see, by looking at the indicator bar, whether or not the message you are currently reading is signed, and whether or not that signature is valid. -- Pete Toscano[EMAIL PROTECTED]703.948.3364

Re: grepm
Hi, On Thu, 17 Jan 2002 Michael Montagne spewed into the ether: I was just reading about grepmail and was led to a wrapper for it specifically for mutt called grepm. Sounds like something that might be neat. After installing the software, how do I implement it in mutt? thanks. I have this in my muttrc : macro generic f7 shell-escape~/.mutt/grepm.sh So, when I hit f7, it waits for a pattern. Once I enter the pattern, and hit enter, it dumps all matching messages into a temporary mailbox, and calls mutt on that mailbox. It's a beauty, IMHO :-) pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] You just wait, I'll sin till I blow up! -- Dylan Thomas msg23310/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: statistics
Hi, On Fri, 18 Jan 2002 Francis A. Holop spewed into the ether: hello, no links on mutt.org for mailing list archives so i'll just ask my question... i was thinking about counting every single mail i send and get. kind of silly statistics that could amaze me when i'm 70. *grin* This isn't a mutt solution, but if you use procmail it is kinda nifty. Put the following into your .procmailrc : LOGFILE=/path/to/logfile Any ol' procmail should come with a program called 'mailstat'. Running this : $ mailstat -k /path/to/logfile should show you what you want. It also shows you which mails have been filtered into which boxes by procmail, and a final total. one way i was thinking to do this was: for the incoming mail use procmail and a generic all matching rule which would than increase a variable somewhere. Well, apparently you _are_ using procmail ... the outgoing mail could be counted somehow using mutt's capabilities and that's why Well, as David pointed out, you could just increment a counter, but I prefer mailstat's output, as it shows me what procmail has been upto behind my back ;-) pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] pediddel: A car with only one working headlight. -- Sniglets, Rich Hall Friends msg23314/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: a little OT...
Hi, On Fri, 18 Jan 2002 Nick Wilson spewed into the ether: Hi everyone. A little oddity for you; I just upgraded the editor I use to Vim6 and 15mins ago it appeared to be coloring my messages (putting the text to a ghastly purple). as I wrote them. However, as I started to write this one it stopped. Does anyone know what might be going on? No, but this might help. Here is a function by Chip Campbell, which can tell you the colour 'type' (don't know what you call it in Vim-speak) of a the cword. function! HiCheck() let i = hi let i = i . synIDattr(synID(line(.),col(.),1),name) let i = i . trans let i = i . synIDattr(synID(line(.),col(.),0),name) let i = i . lo let i = i . synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line(.),col(.),1)),name) let i = i . :echo i endfunction I have this in my .vimrc : nmap F6:call HiCheck()CR So, you could just put the cursor under the offending word, hit f6, and voila!, you know what syntax region it's part of. Then, you could find your way through $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/mail.vim, and figure out why the said regexp is being matched. You could, optionally, cook up your own syntax file, and use that instead, so you don't have to go through such rude shocks ;-) Ok, this was waaay OT, so I should stop now before I get kicked off the list :-) pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] The farther you go, the less you know. -- Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching msg23315/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

No, that's just his local MTA listing where it got the message from. There's likely no way to change the value there, since it would likely always use the login name of the invoking user, and localhost since it's getting the message from a pipe rather than via SMTP. This value would not be passed to the recipient's mail server in anyway. Actually, it might be sent in a Received: header, but the message is rejected before the local MTA has a chance to send any of the headers. Try setting 'envelope_from' in your muttrc.

how to keep threads collapsed, in a mailbox index, when mail arrives?

[OT] Exit status (was Re: getmail bug reported: failed to work with procmail or maildrop)
At some point hitherto, Charles Jie hath spake thusly:
Aborting... (command /usr/bin/maildrop ~/.maildroprc returned 19200 (maildrop:
signal 0x06))
I can not explain the 'returned 19200'. For someone's exercise. ;-)
It's the exit code and the signal, encoded in a standard format. It's
not just the exit code.
Really? That's beyond my knowledge. Pleae cite me for further info.
Well, I haven't seen the code, but it's probably the status field of
the wait(2) system call. For details, see man 2 wait. Here's a
little program that will give you a breakdown:
=
#include stdio.h
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/wait.h
main(){
printf(status (in hex) = %x\n, 19200);
printf(WIFEXITED = %x\n, WIFEXITED(19200) );
printf(WEXITSTATUS = %x\n, WEXITSTATUS(19200) );
printf(WIFSIGNALED = %x\n, WIFSIGNALED(19200) );
printf(WTERMSIG = %x\n, WTERMSIG(19200) );
printf(WIFSTOPPED = %x\n, WIFSTOPPED(19200) );
printf(WSTOPSIG = %x\n, WSTOPSIG(19200) );
}
=
Here's the output:
status (in hex) = 4b00
WIFEXITED = 1
WEXITSTATUS = 4b
WIFSIGNALED = 0
WTERMSIG = 0
WIFSTOPPED = 0
WSTOPSIG = 4b
Assuming this is what we're dealing with, it should mean that the
program exited normally (WIFEXITED = 1) and that the exit status was
0x4b, or 60 decimal. It was not killed by a signal (WIFSIGNALED = 0),
nor was it stopped (WIFSTOPPED = 0). The value 4b associated with the
WSTOPSIG macro is meaningless, because WIFSTOPPED is false. There's
also a good discussion of this in W. Richard Stevens, Advanced
Programming in the Unix Environment if you're interested.
