Having different signatures depending on the recipient?
Hi, I'ld like to know how I can have different signatures depending on the recipient. Therefore I'ld like to have a default signature which is always used except for specific recipient addresses (mailing lists) for which I'ld like to have a different signature attached. Can someone point me into the right direction how I can accomplish this task? thank you, - Markus ps: please respond to me directly as I'm not susbcribed to the list, thx -- GnuPG Key: http://guru.josefine.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc

Re: viewing 'inbox' as mail and not files?
Martin -- ...and then [EMAIL PROTECTED] said... % % I'm running the latest mutt (1.4i?).

They definitely shouldn't look like this; usually you simply point to the file (for mbox) or directory (for Maildir/) and mutt figures it out for you. For this directory inbox, do you have subdirs cur, new and tmp? [You should check from your shell rather than from mutt.] If so, then you have a Maildir -- but the messages seem to be under the root instead of under cur where they belong. If not, is there a .mh_sequences file, which would indicate it's an MH mailbox. Take a look at one of the files in your editor (again from your shell); does it have a line like From blah blah blah at the top, or does it go right to one of Date: Received: From: (note the colon after the From in the second group; the two headers are different)? If so, then you somehow have a bunch of mbox files at one(?) message per file, and I don't know why they would have been split up except by perhaps an mbox-hook or save-hook... % % Thank you.

Open the folder, then do a limit ('l' by default) using the
pattern ~m 190-200.

You could, for example, tag-pattern ('T' by default) all

Maybe I completely miss your point, as I am not sure why you would want to do that. I guess you want to tag messages as you first read the whole folder, and then start replying to the messages you picked before. You could tag the messages in question, then limit your view to tagged messages and hit reply for each of them. Considering the amount of typing involved for answering a message, I doubt that extra r (or g or L) does hurt. Does that help or do you want to archieve something else?

Can you offer more explanation of what's going on here? How does this mesh with having procmail do the filtering?

Forwarding with attachments
Is there a way to forward a message whole? Including attachments? I do this by using resend which isn't quite what I want to do ... Also, if resend is the way to go ... is there a way to get messages that are resent (and possibly edited) to be saved the same way that outgoing messages are via set record=? Thanks! Jen
Re: mutt is ignoring hidden files as mailboxes
* Alexander Skwar [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-06-03 14:07]: So sprach Sven Guckes am 2002-05-27 um 20:28:54 +0200 : dejavu. how about using a not-dotted file in a dot-dir, ie +.dir/file, eg +.secret/froschteich ? ? I don't get it. Maildir has just three subdirectories, new, cur and tmp. And to access a Maildir, you specify the name of the directory containing the new, cur and tmp directories. Or what do you mean? oh, maildir, right? well, symlink the dot-dir from a non-dot-dir: ln -s .dir foo then access the symlink foo: mutt -f /path/foo wouldn't that work? Sven

I do this by using resend which isn't quite what I want to do ... how about bounce? and then reply to the message, but then exchange the address of the former sender with the address of whom you bounced the mail - then explaining about the bounced message. that way your recipient will an (almost) true copy which allows him to reply to the message - and he can reply to your comment mail, too. Note: these replies go separately! is there a way to get messages that are resent (and possibly edited) to be saved the same way that outgoing messages are via set record=? hint: FCC Sven

Name: mime_forward Type: quadoption Default: no When set, the message you are forwarding will be attached as a separate MIME part instead of included in the main body of the message. This is useful for forwarding MIME messages so the receiver can properly view the message as it was delivered to you. If you like to switch between MIME and not MIME from mail to mail, set this variable to ask-no or ask-yes. -- David Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think that's been answered already; you'd type
l ~m190-200
while in the index and, voila, you'd see only those messages. You could
limit to multiple ranges (either ~m190-200 ~m250-300 ... or perhaps all
together like ~m190-200,250-300 ... try it and see :-) You could also
limit on multiple criteria, like all new messages less than two weeks old
from a certain list: ~N ~F somelist ~d2w (you'll have to check me on the
date spec; I don't use it much). You get the idea...

There has been nearly endless discussion of Maildir/ and mbox on the
list, all waiting for you in the archives :-) I haven't seen much talk
of mh or MMDF, but searching for speed and folder might turn up
something for them, too.

%
% The actual best way is the same as when it is delivered: run it through
% procmail or another MDA. Otherwise you should probably tag a pattern and
% then save that bunch to wherever and go on to the next pattern.
%
% My normal usage pattern is to look at all of the messages that come
% in, then file them. What I'm looking for is the Pegasus Mail concept
Fair enough. Could you look at them in their own incoming folders and
then file them in their archive or already read folders, or perhaps
just leave the read messages right there with the new ones since mutt not
only shows new ones but also handles threads so elegantly?
% of rules-based filing on main folder close. It seems I might be able
% to sort of replicate this with procmail by having the mail filtered
% and then picked up from the existing folder, but I'm a little fuzzy on
% that.
I'd venture to say that that's what most people do. So you'd have
procmail sort by list into =F.mutt, =F.gnupg, =F.suse, and so on (where
the = is a shortcut for the mail folder and the F. prefix makes it easy
to specify a mailboxes line in your muttrc) and then you'd have a bunch
of folders catching new mail, with your spoolfile probably catching
anything that didn't get sorted otherwise. You start mutt either with no
arguments (into your spool file) or with a -y to browse the list of
mailboxes with new mail in them, and then pick one and start reading.
When you're finished reading that one, type 'c' to change folders, hit
tab a couple of times (IIRC), and you have your list of folders that need
attention and you continue on. As you exit each folder, you might leave
the messages in there or move them all to =OLD/F.mutt and so on so that
your incoming folders stay light; I don't bother, but instead peel off a
few thousand messages every six months and save them in my compressed
archive folder =Z/F.mutt.gz (I bet you can guess where I got the Z if
you've been around *NIX for a while).

Check $timeout and $wait_key and perhaps some other fun settings in the
manual; in general, mutt should happily see new mail (as long as you're
not stuck in the pager) when or shortly after it arrives. If all else
fails, sync the mailbox ('$' by default) to force any changes you've made
and generate a reread -- but, again, you
scoring
Hey people. Is there a way to use scoring as a primary sort method but still have threading take effect? I tried putting threads as an aux sort, but it just sort of groups them together, it doesn't thread them. Thanks, Mike -- Michael P.

Changing from address
Mutters, I, like most of you, have more than one address I send from. I use folder hooks to set from, my_hdr From, and my_hdr Reply-To. This works perfectly except when I forget to change to the right folder before sending a message. So when I find myself at the compose menu with a finished message and the wrong addresses (a profile if you will) what am I to do? I'm think about something like a macro to change everything, but changing the same vars as my folder hooks doesn't seem to work. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Any help here? -Mike Arrison
