OT: help signing gpg key
So I've gotten around to generating my own personal GPG key and signing every mail with it. Problem is, I don't know anyone with gpg or pgp, and want my key to be signed. If I understand correctly, this should be done face to face? Or can someone on this list do it? I'm fairly new to all of this and don't really know where to start. Thanks, Meli

Re: imap, maildir, folders with both subfolders and messages
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Monday, January 19 at 10:13 AM, quoth Rejo Zenger: The thing is, most of the mailboxes that are marked with a + do contain subfolders, but they do not contain any messages. I presume, the + mark is present because the mailbox does have the maildir folders cur, new and tmp. So, the + sign doesn't tell whether the folder contains messages as well, but just whether it *could* contain messages. Right? Correct. Then, I noticed that in the IMAP folder listing, any folder that contains any sub-folders has this trailing dot in the name. I presume this is normal behaviour. If so, then what is the additional value of the + mark? The value isn't huge, but it does provide some consistency and a bit more visual clarity. It's easier to overlook an extra character at the end of the folder name than it is to overlook that plus symbol. Also, the character at the end of the folder name varies based on your IMAP server's settings and the value of $imap_delim_chars in your muttrc. The + mark is consistent. ~Kyle - -- Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. -- H. G.

The way this often works is that some group will hold a key-signing party. Find your local Linux Users Group or Unix Users Group; they may have something for you.

mutt + offlineimap
Hi,
some days ago I tried to configure mutt with offlineimap on my local
machine. I followed the instructions on the offlineimap-website, but I'm
still not sure, why someone would change all to this. The only
advantage of offlineimap seems to be having a local copy of my mails.
But: I can't see, how many mails there are in the maildirs, or am I
wrong?
With my old config, I had a mixture of local mbox-files and
remote-maildir-folders, I edited directly within mutt. It looked like
this in the folder browser:
user 8,2M Jan 12 23:27=mbox1
user 76K Jan 14 16:43=mbox2
user 39M Jan 09 23:34=mbox3
5 5 imaps://u...@imap.server.tld/folder1
3 3 imaps://u...@imap.server.tld/folder2
So, I was able to see, how many new messages there are, and the mboxes
are signed with 'N' instantly, when fetchmail delivers new mail to
them.
With offlineimap it looks like this:
user 4,0K Jan 17 19:16=server/folder1/
user 4,0K Jan 17 19:16=server/folder2/
My problem: There is no sign, how many new mails there are - and the
timestamp is not updated, when new mails arrive. In addition, the
Maildirs are not marked instantly with N, when new mails arrive, only if
I type 'c' or so. (So the 'beep' when new mails arrived is missing, too)
With my fetchmail+mutt-config I had specified all mailboxes directly
like:
set folder=~/mail
set mbox=+mbox
mailboxes ! /var/mail/user
mailboxes /home/user/mail/inbox +mbox1 +mbox2 +mbox3
mailboxes {u...@imap.server.tld/ssl}INBOX
mailboxes {u...@imap.server.tld/ssl}folder1
mailboxes {u...@imap.server.tld/ssl}folder2
my new muttrc looks like:
set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder=$HOME/Maildir
set mbox=~/Maildir
source ~/Maildir/muttrc.mailboxes
set spoolfile=+server/INBOX
and ~/Maildir/muttrc.mailboxes:
mailboxes +server/Drafts +server/INBOX +server/folder1
which is automatically generated by offlineimap
Do you have the same configuration? How can I make it visible, how many
(new) mails there are in each Maildir with offlineimap? And why aren't
mailboxes flagged with N instantly when new mails arrive with
offlineimaps autorefresh-option?
I hope, I could make my problems clear. If there's no solution for this,
I think I'd mirror my Maildirs with offlineimap by hand, but use the old
fetchmail+procmail+mutt combination.
Best regards,
sigi

i am using mairix and would like to improve a mutt macro:
# Mairix
macro generic f shell-escapemairix search via mairix
# Load the results mailbox
macro generic ,f change-folderkill-line=xmairixenter load the search
results mailbox
In fact, i would like to have only one macro which search via mairix and
which load the search results after.
Do you have any idea how i could do that?
I have the following in muttrc:
macro index,pager ,m \
enter-command set my_wait_key=\$wait_key wait_key=noenter\
shell-escape mutt/mairixquery.shenter\
enter-command set wait_key=\$my_wait_key my_wait_keyenter\
change-folder+Special/_mairixenter mairix query
macro browser ,m \
enter-command set my_wait_key=\$wait_key wait_key=noenter\
shell-escape mairixquery.shenter\
enter-command set wait_key=\$my_wait_key my_wait_keyenter\
exitchange-folder+Special/_mairixenter mairix query
And mairixquery.sh looks like so:
#!/bin/sh
threads=
augment=
yorn()
{
local ans
printf $1 (yes/[no])
read -e ans
case $ans in
y*|Y*) return 0;;
*) return 1;;
esac
}
printf Enter mairix query:\n
read -e query
[ -n $query ] || exit 0
yorn Retrieve thread(s)? threads=--threads
yorn Append message(s) to mfolder? augment=--augment
mairix $threads $augment $query
The biggest shortcoming is that when you cancel, mutt still opens
the mairix mailbox. But perhaps some of the gurus here have a
solution for that.
