Names in sent folder
Hi! Actual i see in the sent folder my own name in the overview. How can i configure it, that i can see instead the To-address? Thx Alex

Problem with gettext files
Hello to everybody: I'm still learning Mutt (this is my first installation), and I've worked out encoding issues and the likes, particullarly when somebody sends me a gettext po file, enabling me to *see* it with the regular pager. Although it sometimes detects However, now, when I try to *attach* such a file to send it to whatever developers, I get application/x-gettext, base-quoted, and Mutt doesn't autoshow the contents (says it can't), unless I view it in the attachment menu. My locale is en_US.utf8. I have in my .mime.types application/x-gettext po text/x-gettext-translation po as Mutt was detecting the same po format under different names, randomly (as far as I know). Some po files are in iso-5..-15, most in utf8. However, I need mutt to guess correctly the encoding of the file, as I may end up sending some garbled file to the translation lists. When Mutt detects iso...-1 in a received, I get garbled accents in Spanish, therefore, I had to put charset-hook iso-8859-1 iso-8859-15 in .muttrc. I also have set file_charset=utf-8:iso-8859-15:us-ascii set send_charset=utf-8:iso-8859-15:us-ascii set assumed_charset=utf-8 set locale=en_US.utf8 in my .muttrc. May this force a conversion on sent attachments? In case you don't know, a po file is plain text file with some string headers. However, they need to be recognized by their mimetype as po to ensure a correct send. I saw a mail discussing the topic, but it doesn't work for sending po's, yet detects mimetype and encoding of received emails. (Although it sometimes says base64. Let me know if I can provide more information. Thanks in advance! Omar -- Why stop now just when I'm hating it? -- Marvin The Paranoid Android

Re: Names in sent folder
Even when i comment my index_format line there is no change in the index of the sent folder. I have only one address ia m sending from. How can i use different index_format for different folders? * Kevin Kammer schrieb: On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 11:19:20AM +0100 René Clerc wrote: Hi Alex, * Alex Huth a.h...@tmr.net [13-11-2009 11:03]: Actual i see in the sent folder my own name in the overview.

Re: intermittant hesitation after key strokes
On Thursday, November 12 at 11:40 PM, quoth Robert Holtzman:
The only reason I'm running the sidebar is that I'm used to
pine/alpine where the mailbox list is a click away.
Understood. Personally, I find the mailbox list rather annoying. I
have lots of rarely-used mailboxes (for grouping messages about
subjects that I rarely talk about, or mailing lists that I monitor and
only check up on once or twice a week) that usually end up cluttering
up such interfaces. I like that in mutt I can simply use
tab-completion to navigate to my folders. (You *can* get a list of
folders... but you aren't forced to use it if you don't want to.)
Educate me (as if you haven't been doing that so far). Why ick?
Well, this comes up every so often, so I'll copy what I've said before
about it. Mainly, I quoted one of the guiding lights of mutt
development (and the man to whom mutt 1.6 will probably be dedicated),
Rocco Rutte, who wrote
(http://marc.info/?l=mutt-devm=112133798519807w=2):
For example, the sidebar patch available for mutt looks to work at
first sight but there're many things just heavily broken or things
you really don't want to stay in the code (like using snprintf()
and strlen() to calculate the amount of digits of a number.)
The sidebar patch is much larger than it needs to be, and affects
large portions of the mutt codebase that have nothing to do with
showing a sidebar (for example, if memory serves, the sidebar patch
changes mbox handling in some weird way). Generally speaking, despite
its popularity and its apparent continued development, the developers
of the sidebar patch do not maintain a presence on this mailing list,
do not have their own mailing list, and (to my knowledge) do not
provide any kind of support for either users of their patch or for
people interested in cleaning it up such that it might become
palatable to the mainline mutt developers.
And just so you know, Rocco's complaints are still valid. Check out
this example function from the current sidebar patch (published July
19th, 2009):
static int quick_log10(int n)
{
char string[32];
sprintf(string, %d, n);
return strlen(string);
}
Just because I was curious, I actually compared this quick version
of log10 to the real log10 (with the attached small program). Turns
out calculating log10 the quick way is an order of magnitude slower
than doing it the usual way. Doesn't that just scream this programmer
knows what they're doing?
So... now you know why I say ick.
