time zone conversion
Hi all, I'm looking for a way to convert the date header to my local time zone in the mail detail view. I'm aware of the index format %D option but need this for the (internal) pager. Any ideas? Best regards Sebastian Tramp -- WebID: http://sebastian.tramp.name

Thanks! :-) The only thing I can think of yet is using display_filter with an own script that uses formail or similar … P.M.

Any ideas?
This is not fantastic, but it's worked for me:
Create a new script, eg. mutt_date_filter.pl:
---
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while () {
s/\b(..., \d{1,2} ... \d{4} \d\d:\d\d:\d\d [+-]?\d{4})\b/my $d;chomp($d=`date -d
$1 +'%A, %d %B, %Y, %T %Z'`);$d/eg;
print $_;
}
---
It looks for a string format matching that regex, and passes it to the 'date'
command, which outputs it in your local time zone. I also told it to reformat
it according to my own taste.
In .muttrc:
set display_filter=mutt_date_filter.pl
Make sure it's in your path.

How do I change ~/Mail to something else like for instance ~/mail ?
I have been using Mutt for several years. I recently had a major failure on my desktop machine, and purchased a new (to me) replacement. The hard drives from the old machine and the data on them survived the failure. I have put them into boxes that turn them into USB drives and have all my old configuration files for Mutt, fetchmail, and procmail. But things are not going well. I want to receive my mail into a different place while I debug, so the question in the Subject: line. How do I change ~/Mail to something else like for instance ~/mail ?

Re: How do I change ~/Mail to something else like for instance ~/mail ? added info.
forgot to mention all the players: debian squeeze(stable) exim4 fetchmail procmail gnome-desktop Mutt with an absolute minimum of special tweeking of what net-inst puts on disk.

You can set this value in your .muttrc: set folder=~/mail That works. Thanks. Now that I know 'folder', I can see it in the man page, plain as day.

Sorry, but I'm using webmail provided by my ISP. I don't have much experience with it and haven't discover the word wrap option, if it has one.
