Wow.

Your perl version is from 1993! Did you get that from a museum on tape? :-)

Seriously, I don't think we should/need/do support something older than
perl 5.003. With perl 4 I think your only options is to not build docs
at all (edit top-level Makefile and remove 'doc' from the SUBDIRS and
DIST_SUBDIRS lines) (or remove the perl call in doc/Makefile.am and live
with partial documentation).

That wouldn't have happened if you used ~/.muttrc instead :)

Hi,

 mail_check=5

 TBH those settings come from someone else's muttrc.

These are default values and look okay. Does the problem persist even
after you switch folders?  If so, I guess the only to find out who's to
be blamed is to try a non-managed mount.

Hello

Yes, I always have to go into individual folders to see new mail.
I am using an external method to see what new mail is coming in, but 
it's not ideal.

 be blamed is to try a non-managed mount.
 

I was worried you'd say that. AFAIK the only way to run maildir format
under Cygwin is to use a managed mount as Windows can't handle the 
filenames.

Thanks for all your help, I'll check on the Cygwon list and see if 
anyone else has this set-up working. It'll be something to compare
against if they do.

I'll post back here if/when I find anything else out.

 
cheers,
Adam

run mail command with recipient of selected email

2009-05-28 Thread Eric Smith
Is there (or should there be) a mutt command where user could run
the mail command - for a *new* mail message - with the recipient
taken automatically from the message selected in the index?

(mutt Would select the recipient as the sender or recipient based on
the alternates variable).

Am I the only one that is constantly looking up mail addresses
from previous emails to or from a certain contact?

Of course I use my aliases file a lot as well.

You may want to look into using lbdbq.

http://www.spinnaker.de/lbdb/

lbdbq is the client program for the little brother's database. It will
attempt to invoke various modules to gather information about persons
matching something. E.g., it may look at a list of addresses from which you
have received mail, it may look at YP maps, or it may try to finger
something@various hosts.

There's a patch for this.  It was posted to the mutt-dev list by
Brian Medley on Feb. 28, 2008.

No.  This patch is great.  I hope it makes it into the next
release, but I haven't heard anything about it for a while.

Gary
