QP/base64 issues
Hello, This has been bugging me all afternoon, so it's time I let people who know what they're doing tell me what I'm doing wrong :) Basically, I want mail sent with foreign chars such as £ å é etc to *not* be sent as QP or base64. Now, with % /usr/sbin/sendmail -t From: me To: you Subject: blah £ñ÷åòôùïéõ±²³´ . it works *perfectly*. I get a nice clean mail, which hasn't been modified in any way, and everything in the world is Good [tm]. Unfortunately, no matter how I configure mutt, I cannot seem to get it to behave.

imap+proxy+mutt
Hi
I am using mutt to read the mails from imap server.
by mutt -f{imap server}. but when i try to send the
mails outside the lan its not working(bouncing back).
whereas inside mails are reaching inside the lan. I am
behind the proxy.
mail server and proxy are running on same
machines.there are some machines in our lan which dont
require proxy authentication. From those machines mutt
could send mails
to any destination outside and inside.
I copied some standard .muttrc and defined spoolfolder
and required imap settings.
Do i miss something here? Is there any way to define
my smtp to point to gateway / proxy smtp ?

Syncing problems
Hi folks! I'm using a compresed folder for this list as a local archive... it has about 1.200 selected mails (hint about list content quality), and some weeks ago I started having a problem that annoys me a lot. My procmail moves the list new mails into mail/m.lists/inet-tech/mutt-users and I move them to the archive (usually unread) manually in mutt. Then when I get time to a list session, open the .gz mbox, reading, deleting or archiving, and then the problem comes, but only if the number of unread mails is about 100 or over. When I've done half of the session, and change folder, nothing is synced and I'll have to start over selecting for deletion or archiving, but the compressing to message is displayed. I suppose I'm going to do that work in the procmail non compressed mbox, but then I loose the previous thread messages, so I'm going to need two mutt, with different folders opened. Too much work, isn't it? Another thing is about a bug in quote_regexp (IMHO) I've reported some weeks ago (and didn't hear anything back), and could be noted in this mail signature ;) -- Rafael C.

A couple of questions
I have a couple of questions about a couple of things. 1. I have a custom attribution string for responding to e-mails that I send to people at work. The attribution use ~t to show to whom the previous, quoted e-mail was addressed. However, if the e-mail is addressed to more then one person, only the first person shows up in the attribution string. Is it possible to show all of the users to whom the original e-mail was sent? 2. When I receive an e-mail from someone at work that is a reply to an earlier e-mail and I view it in the pager, where the other senders MUA inserted \t (tab) as the quote/attribution character, Mutt replaces the \t with a . I would like to keep the \t instead. I have played with indent_string and quote_regexp. 3. Smart_wrap=no doesn't seem to have an impact on the same e-mails. Any ideas? 4. Is there a way to see what hooks Mutt is applying to a folder or e-mail in real-time? It would help with the debugging. 5. Is there a way to force Mutt to reload the .muttrc without quiting and launching? 6. Is there a way using a message-hook or send-hook to know when an e-mail is new vs. being a reply or forward?

Not in Mutt 1.4. The development branch now has a reply-hook for this purpose.
Re: QP/base64 issues
I noticed this in the headers to your message as received on my end: X-Mime-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by inet34.rd.bbc.co.uk X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by hpsdlfsa.sdd.hp.com So it seems your machine won't allow 8bit out, while mine won't allow qp in. -- David Ellement

X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by hpsdlfsa.sdd.hp.com while mine won't allow qp in. Here it's probably not so much that it doesn't allow it, but that it removes the encoding for the convenience of software that's too lame to handle a simple standard that is over 10 years old. -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.schrab.com/aaron/ The data for most coffee URIs contain no caffeine. -- RFC 2324
