Help with mailcap
Hi All, I was a mutt fan while I was using Linux at home. Now at work place, I've configured mutt for windows. But I'm unable to configure mail cap entries. Even though I keep the mime.types and mailcap files under my HOME directory, still, mutt says no mailcap entry found. I want to open .doc, .xls files using Word and Excel, respectively, but I'm unable to configure the mail-cap entries. Please help. Anybody using Mutt under windows here?? -- V_Suresh___ |__Disclaimer: This sig is copyrighted.__

The limit command is perfect for this, but it only works on one mailbox and mailboxes don't scale too well - Ok for five thousand messages, _not_ so ok for a million. It's not that okay with five thousand messages, and it takes minutes to open up a folder that's something like half my archive. It's not really the way I'd rather work either: I'd rather tell it what I want, wait if necessary, then see the messages, rather than wait while it shows me all the messages I might want, then tell it what I'm looking for. Limit's nice, but it's not what I'm looking for.

I'm really more interested in making something-like-grepmail more comfortable to use with mutt, too: I'm pretty sure I can write something-like-grepmail myself to my satisfaction. One important difference is that vfolders are built around pre-built indexes, making them more efficient than grepping hundreds of megs of mail. Having watched people use vfolders, it makes me seriously consider switching over to evolution. Right. The main thing is that as well as the straight out mbox/Maildir, there's a nice binary index of all the messages that's quick to look up. However, I can't find a decent technical overview of the system, other than the source. Likewise. file(1) couldn't work out what format the index was in either, so I gave up. :) Bruno Postle pointed out some similar stuff for mutt, though. Apparently Michael Elkins has a patch that adds header caching support for Maildir folders, which is a start. It's at: http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~me/mutt/patch-1.5.0.me.hcache.8 Bruno's posted a grep script which makes use of this stuff too (back in January), which is at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mutt-users/message/27023 On Mon, May 20, 2002 at 08:23:11AM -0500, David T-G wrote: % thinking that vFolders might be the answer. So, I've been trying to figure % out some way of doing the same sort of thing in mutt. Interesting concept... Since I have no interest in installing Evo, can you point me somewhere to learn more about their concept and implementation? The concept is basically the same as the limit stuff, although the interface allows you to make a mailbox that's a vfolder -- so you can just change to it rather than having to change to the big folder, then limit it by hand. You can give them names and such too, which is nice if you do this sort of thing regularly, and makes it worthwhile to have queries like All unread messages to mailing lists in the past hour, if that's what you're into. There arn't any technical docs about the implementation afaik, but it's basically make all accesses to the mail really fast by using indexes, then have at it. It's not clear what the indexes are, but I figure I can fake that with some scripts well enough for my own purposes. Apparently one of the nicer ways to use it is for incoming mail, but that's probably a lot tougher to adapt mutt for, and not really what I'm interested in, personally. I do know, though, that I've been itching for a real RDBMS back-end for mailboxes [...] I want to keep mine in the filesystem: my other annoyance is that I want to be able to handle my mail without any stress on either of two computers which aren't always connected to each other. I've tried this before, and I tend to have problems when I read some mail on one machine, and archive it; then read it on the other and archive it again. I think Maildir will be a part of my solution when I find one though. I had been tinkering with an idea for approaching that by having one single, potentially huge, canonical Maildir containing every message, and then virtual Maildirs (which, BTW, need only the cur/ subdir) with symlinks that point into the canonical dir. Right, this is more or less what I'm planning on doing, except that my virtual Maildirs will be created on demand, and cleaned up when they're not used. Also, I found mutt just ignored symlinks, so I used hardlinks instead. % What I can't figure out is how to run that script and make mutt look at % the output in a reasonably effective way. What I'd _like_ is to be able % to write a macro that asks me: % What email address: % then runs change-folder`/home/aj/mail/bin/query-by-addr $result`. Why not just fire off a subprocess? Because then I'll end up with fifty mutts one on top of the other as I refine my query, which will annoy me to no end,

The first thing that pops to mind is limiting to new mails only and then reading your mail as normal, perhaps after having unset $pager_stop. The second thing that wanders through is reading up on how mutt determines the next message, as defined by the next-page function and next message hopping mentioned in the pager_stop section of the manual, and see if you can get it to go to next-new instead. The third thing, of course, is a patch in case the first is unsuitable and the second not possible.

If, instead, your mail is kept in files directly under your ~/Mail directory, mutt will, by default, list them in alpha order. You could set up these files using procmail or, if you're doing all this manually (my guess), simply execute: touch ~/Mail/foo to create the folder. Then, save mail to the new folder(s) as usual.

Re: Virtual Folders in mutt
Hi, At 3:32 AM EDT on May 20 Anthony Towns sent off: I've been getting gradually more annoyed with the way my mail archives are organised recently, and, after playing with Evolution a little bit, got to thinking that vFolders might be the answer. So, I've been trying to figure out some way of doing the same sort of thing in mutt. First, has anyone done this before? Is there a FAQ or HOWTO I could be reading? What I'm thinking is basically having a huge morass of mail shoved in a directory somewhere, with a fancy index. Whenever I want to look at mail in there, I construct a query (Show me all mail with [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the From/To/Cc headers or Show me all mail with message-id blah) and then have mutt show me all the mail that matches that query as a virtual folder.
