Locking strategies and MAILPATH

2002-07-21 Thread Vincent Lefevre

It seems that to force the dotlock locking strategy, one needs to use
the --with-homespool option. But then, mutt -v says:

MAILPATH=mailbox

Here, mailbox doesn't correspond to anything. So, is it a problem?

Note that my only spool mailbox is an IMAP mailbox. But I need a locking
strategy for the postpone and archive mailboxes (under NFS). As fcntl is
not reliable here, I think I'll disable it and use dotlocking only.

  i'm getting pretty annoyed by the behavior of search-next; this is how i
  use mutt pretty often, and it doesn't exactly help to make it easier:
 
  starting in index:
  search~b patternenter
  display-message
  searchpatternenter
  exit
  search-next
  display-message
  search-next
 
 hmm...
 
  at this moment, instead of just jumping to the
  next match, mutt prompts me for the pattern.
 
 huh?  that doesn't happen with my mutt 1.4.

it has behaved this way all the way back to 1.2.5i *IIRC*.
i had a look at the source, and it looks like the search pattern is
being invalidated when you go pager - index, and is compiled
again.
 
  is there a knob i've overlooked?  i'm running 1.5.1i,
 
 oh - mutt 1.5.1  maybe that one's different?
 how come you complain about a *developer*
 version on the users* list then?
 
well, it wasn't meant to be a complaint in any way. and as i said
above: this is not anything new AFAICT.

 you should try discussing this with
 the developers on mutt-dev... ;-)

ok.

 I see exactly the same behavior as Roman with mutt 1.4 Seven.
 Hm, are you running any patches Roman?

just patch-1.5.1.cd.edit_threads.9.2

 But you are presented the previous value at the prompt, don't you?

yes. 
 
  it's obviously trying to be helpful, but in fact does just the
  opposite. i just want it to do what i told it, which is search for the
  next match, not create a new search.
 
   macro pager n search-next\n

ISTR there was a reason why i didn't just do this in the first
place, but i can't remember what it was right now. will try.

thanks!

hm, yes, here's the reason:

the macro as suggested scrolls down one line with my current
mappings, so the matched lines end up outside the pager.
if i add previous-line at the end, it'll cause the matched line to
be the second displayed line instead of the first, subsequent calls
are ok (where the previous-line does what it's there for. 

really, it's just a nitpick, but this is pretty distracting.

i guess i'll just mail mutt-dev@
