S/MIME
Hi, I want to get a better picture about S/MIME, but can't find an introduction in the net. Could one of you point me to a S/MIME introduction or tutorial that is written for the user?

delete inside pager
Hi, I'd like to be able to delete a message while inside the pager, and then go to the next unread message. What I have set up now is the following : macro pager d 'exitdelete-messageprevious-entrynext-unreaddisplay-message' 'delete and go to next unread' It works pretty good, except when there is no more unread message (the next-unread does not move the cursor, so it displays the previous entry, which I just read so hit delete because I think it's a duplicate...). What I'd like is display-message-only-if-unread, so that it gets me back to the index when there are no more unread messages. Any hint ? Flavien.

I've done that. Using 'strace' just give me:

The last line is printed about 50.000 times within a couple of
seconds. Before this exerpt, to me it seems that the editor
command was sucessful (mutt reports that the child has quit).
Could someone explain/interpret the last line? I have
absolutely no idea what this could be and how to solve it.
Mutt is trying to overwrite the temporary file to provide some
protection against someone trying to recover the private data. But in
your case it is looping over that. This is happening in the mutt_unlink
function in lib.c:
while (sb.st_size 0)
{
fwrite (buf, 1, sizeof (buf), f);
sb.st_size -= sizeof (buf);
}
I don't know why this would happen with glibc, but with dietlibc the
st_size element of struct stat is unsigned, so unless it hits 0 exactly
the test will always succeed.
I think the attached patch should fix this problem.
