Problem piping *.doc attachment to AbiWord.
I have antiword set up as my mailcap entry for viewing MSWord docs and it works great (thanks Sven :). What I'd also like to do, from time to time, is pipe a *.doc to AbiWord. From the attachment menu, I've tried: | AbiWord and | AbiWord %s and | AbiWord %s Version one opens AbiWord without the file. Versions two and three open AbiWord with an error message saying, unable to open file %s. I've used AbiWord successfully in my mailcap file, using the %s temporary file descriptor, FWIW. I've looked at pipe_split, pipe_decode and pipe_sep, but none of them seem on point for what I'm trying to do. AbiWord documentation sheds no light on this, that I could find. Surely this is a brain cramp on my part, but any help appreciated. Thanks. John

What I'd also like to do, from time to time, is pipe a *.doc to AbiWord. The problem is that piping and opening attachments work via different mechanisms. Piping uses the UNIX concept of pipes, which is where it gets its name, and you can't pipe to AbiWord. While many UNIX commands are written to operate as a filter - reading from their standard input instead of from a named file - AbiWord is not. When you open an attachment, the attachment first gets saved to a file on disk with some temporary name (like /tmp/foo.doc). In the command from your mailcap, %s is then replaced with that filename before the command is executed. So what ends up being run is, for example, this: abiword /tmp/foo.doc But when you pipe to a command, the attachment isn't saved first. Mutt just runs the command and then sends the data to it on its standard input. It's as if you had typed just the command with no arguments: abiword and then started typing the contents of the attachment on your keyboard. If you try to pipe to abiword %s then it just runs that command literally, and abiword tries to open a file named '%s' and can't find it. Like you, I have antiword set up for everyday .doc reading, and fire up AbiWord when antiword isn't enough.

bouncing w/ mutt-1.3.28i
Problem: With said mutt release I can't bounce messages anymore. (I found another question in the newsgroup w/ 1.3.23, but no solution to the problem). Actually, the message *is* bounced, but unlike earlier releases, it leaves both, the From: and Cc: headers untouched. So, if I bounce a mail that was originally sent from sender A to me to a list B, the mail still looks as if A sent it to me, not A to B. Of course the spam filters on the mailing list don't like that a bit and unceremonously reject the bounce mail :P How do I get bouncing to work again (preferrably without installing an older mutt version)?

A few questions
I have a few quick questions ... 1. Is there a way to add an address other than From: or Reply-To: to aliases? For example, to: (common with mailin lists), cc:, or, when there's a Reply-To:, From:? I did see the old message on saving the message and then piping it to a script, but I was hoping there might be an easier way ... 2. Is there a way to mark all messages as read for an entire folder? Or marking all tagged messages as read? I often do not sort by threads, and the only mark read command I could find works only with threads. 3. Is there an IRC channel where mutt is discussed? Thanks! Jen

Forwarding Mail in Mutt with abook
Hi there, I have ran into a problem recently using a Mutt/abook combination to deal with mail. When I query abook through Mutt at the To: header (in writing new mail), I am allowed to tag multiple addresses like normal and insert them all with a ;m command. However, when I try to _forward_ mail to multiple people, the ;m command simply inserts the addresses into a new message. I have tried ;f, but it doesn't worked. I have also searched for an answer to my problem, but I haven't even found it mentioned somewhere else. Thanks for any help.

When I reply to these messages, how do I configure Mutt to convert the HTML attachment into plain text, quote it, and finally edit it? Or is this a mailcap issue? Thanks in advance. It's at least partly a mailcap issue. If you already have mutt and mailcap configured to display HTML attachments as plain text in the pager, replying should just work as you described. Otherwise, you will need an entry like this in your mailcap: text/html; w3m -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput and you _may_ need this in your muttrc: auto_view text/html The auto_view command is required for the pager to work; I don't know if it's required to convert HTML to plain text in replies.

Mutt 1.3.28 internal pager, Screen 3.09.11: right-padded spaces
When I ssh in from my X11 desktop to my server (both Debian 3.0) and start sessions under GNU Screen (v. 3.09.11), among which are Mutt (v. 1.3.28) instances, I get a weird effect with Mutt's internal pager: If I highlight text from Mutt's internal pager and use X11 copy/paste to copy it to elsewhere, there is right-side padding of all lines of text. Most lines get padded all the way to column 80. Some shorter lines get less (and I'm not sure what the pattern is). Text copied/pasted from vim (as Mutt editor), or from less used in place of the internal pager, don't show this symptom. If I exit from Screen entirely, then start up Mutt and use its internal pager, X11 copy/pastes from the internal pager do NOT show that effect. So, something unhealthy's going on between Mutt's internal pager and Screen. :r! echo $TERM screen :r! ls -l .terminfo/s/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx1 rick rick 37 Jul 10 17:13 screen - ../../usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-bce Excerpt from /etc/screenrc : # Tell screen terminal it's running on supports Background Color Erase. defbce on I'm probably missing something obvious, but I _have_ worked at this problem. Much as I love the internal pager, this terminal glitch is a real pain. If it'll help, I believe the problem spontaneously showed up immediately after a Mutt version update, and has been constant since then. I'm sorry to say I don't remember which version. -- Cheers,There are only 10 types of people in this world -- Rick Moen those who understand binary arithmetic and those who don't. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
how to use the ISP''s smtp server directly
Hi, I would like to use mutt without the sendmail server on my machine. I find sendmail configuration quite abstruse. Can I directly make Mutt connect to my ISP's outgoing SMTP server.

I know this must have been discussed somewhere before, but being new to mutt please bear with me. Where does one got find the best archives to search for resolving these errors ? X-Authentication-warning papason.wdm.com: deem set sender to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using -f (my vimrc wraps, sorry.) /Dee

X-Authentication-warning papason.wdm.com: deem set sender to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using -f this is an MTA issue (almost definitely sendmail in this case). you need to add your user as a trusted user in the sendmail configuration, or ignore the errors (they don't actually cause any real problems that i'm aware of). a google search turned up some other interesting alternatives at: http://www.cm.nu/~shane/lists/comp.mail.sendmail/2002-06/0049.html -- Will Yardley input: william @ hq . newdream . net .
