Editing multiple messages with bash
Hi, I stumbled upon editlabel [1] for editing labels (actually the X-Label header) with mutt. It sets the editor variable to a bash script, calls edit and then sets the variable back to vim. Unfortunately, this only works on a single message. I'd like to tag N messages and then send all of them to a bash script for editing the X-Label header. Does anyone have any idea if that is possible? [1] http://blitiri.com.ar/p/other/mutt-labels/ -- Jostein

See above links. My problem still persist though. If anyone have a solution to the following scenario I'd be overwhelmed: 1) Fetchmail gathers mail from gmail and corporate mail and puts in $spoolfile. 2) I want to use my corporate e-mail address whenever I reply to mail sent to m...@mycompany.com, and whenever I send mail to some...@mycompany.com. 3) I want to my gmail address whenever the situation in 2) is not the case. Why not employ filtering rules in your mda, to filter the messages into different folders. I only use one email address, so I'm not to sure about using 2 or more but I think you might need to look at mutt profiles.

At home I've had to set up exim (the MTA I run) with a special router
to deal with other's mail hubs that don't want to talk to dirty rotten
consumer dynamic IPs:
# This router routes addresses of paranoid ISPs that assume all dialup users
# are doing something illegitimate.
paranoids:
driver = manualroute
route_data = ${lookup{$domain}partial-lsearch{/etc/exim/paranoids}}
transport = remote_smtp
It uses my ISP's mail hub to hide my unclean IP address from finicky
MTAs but lets me send directly to others, so that at least sometimes I
have useful logs to show whether a message went through.
The simple solution is often to just use your ISP's MTA as a smarthost
for all outgoing mail. I'm picky, so there are times when I don't get
to use simple solutions.

regexp and pattern limit
Hi, I'm trying to write a regexp in order to capture some words to put them in color. I have a line like this in my .muttrc: color body red default \etch\|((L|l)enny)|((S|s)queeze)|((S|s)arge)|((P|p)otato) I want to catch only etch, but not fetch nor fetchera (or whatever combination). So I tried the \word\ syntax without success. I also tried the Perl way \bword\b which fails too. I'm no regex guru, so could someone help me please? Thanks in advance, Steve
Re: Messages from Mutt received by gmail but nothing else
Thanks very much for the detailed response Mark, its good to know a little more
about how this stuff works.
Sending this from Mutt as a test after having set up smtp via my isp.
All the best,
Will.

Re: SSL Failed: I/O error
I figured this out and thought I'd close it out in case someone else runs into the same issue. Mutt/openssl does not check the default certification path (on my arch system it is /etc/ssl/certs) for trusted CA's. As soon as I put the server certificates in /etc/ssl/certs.pem the connection went through with no problems. As far as I can tell there is no way to tell mutt to tell openssl to check the /etc/ssl/certs path for server certificates. Openssl itself will not check this path by default. Gnutls does not have this problem as there is a ssl_usesystemcertificates option which does not work with openssl, but gnutls has other issues. I can run openssl s_client -connect [host]:[port] and I get an error. If I run openssl s_client -connect [host]:[port] -CApath [path to certs] everything goes fine. Thunderbird did not have this issue. The first time I connected to this server it asked if I wanted to accept the certificate. Is this something mutt should be doing? Should it provide a way to specify a path to openssl for the trusted system certificates?

Re: Editing multiple messages with bash
I made an enhanced version of editlabel available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/editxlabel/ It handles tag-prefix but it still edits messages one at a time. However, I added a history mechanism so that adding the same labels to multiple files is relatively easy.
