I'm in trouble tryng to use mutt-prcmail to manage my attach files, I'm using this piece of figuration in my procmailrc METAMAIL_TMPDIR=$MAILDIR/attach/$DATE :0cbhHB: | metamail -q -w -x to save tha attach file separately. all is working well, but the name of the output file of metamail (the attach file I want to use) seems a random sequence of letter. In the man page of metamail I read: -w This option tells metamail that instead of consulting a mailcap file to decide how to display the data, it should simply decode each part and write it to a file in its raw (possibly binary) format. Depending on the circumstances in which it is called, metamail may derive the file name to use from the message headers, by asking the user, or by generating a unique temporary file name. But i'd like to have my attach file with the original name, If someone send me the XYZ.gif file I would like to rescue in my $MAILDIR/attach/$DATE directory looking for the name XYZ.gif Thanks MAuro _ This message has been checked for all known viruses by UUNET delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre.

Verify that your value for print_cmd is correct (it should probably be the same as whatever you are piping to). Related to question 1, you'll probably want to set print_decode as well. msg23991/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

folders ?

Is it possible to use folders with mutt ?
If yes, is autosort possible ?
Like mails for nicos-mutt goto mutt/, mails to
mailing lists goto lists/gpm lists/lkml ?

Like mails for nicos-mutt goto mutt/, mails to mailing lists goto lists/gpm lists/lkml ? Depends on when you want it sorted. Mutt does have the capability to save read mails to certain folders automagically, but that is after it has already been delivered to your spool file. If you want them sorted before you read them, then you will need software such as procmail. You set up a recipe, and fetchmail sends the mail to procmail to sort it into the appropriate mailbox depending on content. There are others, but procmail is what i use with fetchmail, and it seems to work well for me. The one thing that I have found is that Mutt's own getmail function doesn't send it thru procmail. Don't know how to change that, so I simply set up a macro to run fetchmail. 8o) Knute msg23998/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: recognizing traditional PGP
--zS7rBR6csb6tI2e1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable * Volker Moell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [020125 14:45]: % mail). It would be so much easier for everyone if check-traditional-= pgp % would become a variable (set always-check-traditional-pgp=3Dyes), so % that every mail will be checked automatically on demand (instead of % handling 50% of all mail accesses via macros and doing some terrible % workarounds for the other 50%). Hmmm... =20 With this I mean, you can - press enter in the index - press down, up, pgup, pgdown in the pager - press space at the end of a message - delete (in various ways) a mail - jump to a mail - ... to view a mail. Do you really want do set a macro for each of these (and surely more!) keybindings? Not really, at least not me. So a message-hook seems to be the only senseful place to implement a check-traditional on demand. With macros it's only a nice workaround. IMHO. Sorry, I'm jumping into the thread late, so I may end up looking like an ignorant ass, but I'll take my chances anyway and offer you another workaround. (I think) one issue of mutt detecting the old-style messages is looking through the body of each message to see if it fits a certain pattern, which is seen (understandably so) as something expensive that mutt shouldn't be doing anyway. The workaround I propose, for you and anyone else in your boat, is to set your pager to something (a small perl script) that can recognize old-style pgp messages and pipe those to gpg for processing, then display the message via a real pager (i.e. less or some such). That's *kinda* like a user-space message-hook, except it happens for each message instead of only ones that match a certain pattern. You might be able to fenagle it to working with a message-hook by setting pager selectively or some other dirty hacks, but I'd say to try to get it working everywhere first before optimizing it so. I'll help you with the script if you need it; I think it should be as simple as taking the patterns from the ubiquitous procmail example and putting them in a 5-line perl script. good times, Vineet --=20 Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/ --=20 Satan laughs when we kill each other.

update on the pgp_force_traditional patch
Hi there, some people have asked me to keep them updated about my pgp_force_traditional patch. In fact, my old version posted to mutt-users two weeks ago contained a bug, which I've fixed now. You can find the patch at this URL: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/mutt.html or, more directly: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/patch-1.3.24.vrr.force_traditional.2 [Sorry for the long line.] The patch applies cleanly on 1.3.24 through 1.3.27 and is not dependent on the outlook_compat patch anymore, though it doesn't make a lot of sense to use it without $p_o_c. Please note however, that I consider both my patch and the $p_o_c patch obsolete, because Dale Woolridge was so kind and created a patch that changes pgp_create_traditional directly. With his patch, setting $p_c_t is enough to send a mail which will be readably by Outlook in any character set. No funny attachments anymore. Note however, that the usual caveats of clear-signing still apply, if there is a broken MTA setup somewhere along the way, you might get a broken signature. Not if Outlook would notice of course. :) BTW, you can find Dale's patch here: http://www.woolridge.ca/mutt/patches/patch-1.3.26.dw.pgp-traditional.2 Cheers, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/ msg24004/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
