Re: wrap lines in a marked block of text (nano)

2009-11-21 Thread Haines Brown KB1GRM ET1
 The problem with your using nano is you not being satisfied with it's
 formatting abilities.  So, a different editor or ??

First, thanks for the various remarks, and I'm sorry I was not always 
clear. 

The bottom line, however comes here. Nano apparently cannot refill a 
block of marked text, and that was a formating ability I was hoping it 
had. 

 Your familiarity with emacs would probably make you happy with some form
 of:
   set editor=emacsclient %s

Actually, when I first migrated to mutt from RMAIL I used emacsclient, 
but my unfamiliarity with mutt led to some frustration and when I 
reinstalled Debian I left it at the default nano. Being unable to 
refill blocks of text is not a show stopper for me in nano, but since 
I'm more comfortable with emacs keybindings, I should probably head in 
that direction. 

Thanks again,

Haines



reply_regexp help to match 'RE :'

2009-11-21 Thread Nicolas KOWALSKI
Hello,

Sometimes I receive mail replies with the RE : original subject 
string as subject. This RE :  is apparently not recognized by the 
default reply_regexp value, because when I reply to this kind of mail, 
mutt add another Re:  in front of the subject line; furthermore, the 
threading is broken.

Instead of the default, I tried to use the following value, by inserting 
a space just before the [\[ 0-9\]+], but it still does not work:

set reply_regexp=^(re( [\[ 0-9\]+])*|aw):[ \t]*

I am not especially good at regexps, so any help would be welcome.

Thanks,

My understanding is that threading has nothing to do with the subject
line. If it did threads couldn't be hijacked. What am I missing?

Hello Nicolas,

I have this in my muttrc and it works:

set reply_regexp=^((re([\[^-][0-9]+\]?)*|aw|antwort|antw|wg):[ \t]*)+

Hei hei,

 My understanding is that threading has nothing to do with the subject
 line. If it did threads couldn't be hijacked. What am I missing?

Maybe the following mail headers: Message-ID, References and In-Reply-To.

Check out strict_threads in the muttrc manual.

Thanks for your reply.

Well, I just tried it (edited my ~/.muttrc and restarted), and it still 
does not work. :-/
