 Does mbox have issues on MS-DOS partitions?  I wasn't aware of any
 (though you need to be careful about using mixed case).  I was aware
 that maildir does, because on MS filesystems, you can't use ':' in a
 path.

Thanks for useful explanations :)

Suppressing headers

2009-12-24 Thread Rem P Roberti
I have this in my .muttrc:

snip
ignore *
unignore From: Date: To: Cc: Subject: Reply-To:
hdr_order Date: From: To: Cc: Subject: Reply-To:
snip

but for some reason I am now getting a full complement of headers.  How
can I fix that?

You may want to try something like this:

ignore *
unignore from date subject to cc mail-followup-to x-operating-system

It works for me.

mailto:x...@xxxx failed with iceape or iceveasel

2009-12-24 Thread Gerard Robin

Hello,
I use debian sid with:
mut: Mutt 1.5.20
iceape: Mozilla Iceape 2.0.1 

I just have upgraded my system and now, when I click on the link mailto:xxx...@xx; 
iceape ask me to choose an application. I choose mutt and nothing appears 
on the screen but mutt send an empty message to the link.

Mutt before the upgrade worked fine with iceape: mutt was launched in a
terminal with to : xx...@x

Excuse me if this doesn't come from mutt, but if anyone can help me to 
solve the problem, I thank him in advance.

I guess my reply didn't go through.  Anyway, I'm using the same .muttrc
on my laptop, and it works fine.  I'm still scratching my head as to why
it's having those header problems on the desktop machine.

Try starting mutt with the '-n' option.  Does the problem persist?

OK...I think that it was a permissions problem.  I screwed around with
the permissions on my /home directory, and somehow the permissions on
.muttrc were set so that only root had rw permission.  I just had to do
a reboot and it looks as though everything is working normally again.
I hope.

Reboot???  Wasn't necessary, just restart mutt or source the ~/.muttrc
file.

You need a wraper script like the one I use:

#!/bin/sh

xterm -geometry 80x45+400+100 -u8 -e mutt -e set editor=mcedit $*

add it to the list of executabled to use with the mailto:  tag  and  now
it works perfectly...
