Untried, mount, using sshfs, the directory containing the private key
information on your server.  Do it as part of your .profile when you
login, or start mutt from a script that mounts the pki directory.

Err ... that's actually what I do, in the other direction.

Because the mail is on the server.

The question is, is there any way to forward my private key information
over the ssh link, from my desktop where it is available as a local file
(not on the hard drive on a thumb drive which I plug in), to the server
so mutt can use it.

Re: amount of displayed characters of sender name in index view

Hi Jon,


In the example,
  20 is the minimum width for the field
 (pads if data is short, overflows if data is longer)
 .20 is the maximum number of chars to put in the field
 (truncates longer data)
  -  left justifies within the field, omit to right justify


Thanks, having read the man page along with your guide I can now see what its 
referring to. When I first read it I just got lost.


To correct an earlier mistake it should have been:
man muttrc

Simplest idea I have is to add a procmail (or whatever) rule to detect 
top-posting,
then insert a yes or no header into the message:

X-Top-Posted: yes

Then it's trivial to score it in mutt.

The last manpage should describe both numbers.

In the example,
   20 is the minimum width for the field
  (pads if data is short, overflows if data is longer)
  .20 is the maximum number of chars to put in the field
  (truncates longer data)

scoring top posters

2015-07-29 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I'm using scoring to mark, auto delete, ... certain mails I do not want
to read. I'd like to auto-score top posters for the next mail. For the
first mail it is not possible due to scoring is based on header lines.
But the sender could be scored with -10 or -20 for the next mail...

Any ideas how to implement this as automagically?

Thx

It is constrained by the width of your terminal display and the sum total
of all the other fields, iiuc.

Re: amount of displayed characters of sender name in index view

is there a way to tell mutt to show me more of the sender name in index
view? Currently it seems to be 15 characters regardless of the
(x)terminal dimensions.


The following should set the field width to twenty: 
Original

index_format = "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"

Modified
index_format = "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"

Don't ask me why you need both numbers, all I know is that it related to 
printf and right and left alignment.


May I suggest:
man mutt
man 3 printf

See the $index_format setting in the manual.
