messages marked D (delete) are not deleted if I quit mutt
Hi. I find that messages marked D are not deleted when I quit mutt. I was running mutt 1.4.2.2 and just upgraded to 1.5.20 and still see this behavior. They ARE deleted if I sync mailbox. But if I quit, they are not deleted. And I do have set delete=yes in my ~/.muttrc What's happening? Thanks, -at

If you're using x, then yes, stuff marked to be deleted won't be. x is a bailout key. But if you use q to quit, then messages marked for deletion will be deleted. Thanks, Bob. I am using q. And the messages marked for deletion aren't deleted. I'm a little stumped as to what could be causing this or how to troubleshoot it. I guess I can trace the system calls of the mutt process as I quit it. Can't really think of anything else. Aleksey
Shell Command function ignores $SHELL
Hi, Is it me or does the Shell Command function use /bin/sh to execute commands regardless of the value of my SHELL variable? For example, I start mutt with SHELL=/usr/local/bin/zsh mutt and then run !ps -p $$ and it shows sh. Am I doing something wrong? I'd like to be able access my shell aliases from mutt via !. Yours truly, -at
Re: Shell Command function ignores $SHELL
Thank you David T-G, Thorsten Haude, David Champion and Thomas Dickey! I got my zsh alias working from mutt by rebinding ! as a macro as David T-G suggested: bind generic ! noop bind generic \\ shell-escape macro generic ! \\zsh -c Truly, Aleksey. P.S. Notes on the alias expansion mystery: I tried compiling with --with-exec-shell=/usr/local/bin/zsh and it looked like !commands were executed with zsh - but without alias expansion. When I'd press !\n, I'd get the shell that mutt shell variable was set to. If I did !cmd\n, the cmd was run using EXECSHELL (zsh) *but no alias expansion*.

I looked and mutt 1.3.99 uses mutt_system which does a fork and execl (EXECSHELL, sh, -c, cmd, NULL); (and I checked and zsh alias expansion works in both interactive and non-interactive shells.) --- My C is pretty weak but execl (EXECSHELL, sh, -c, cmd, NULL); looks odd when I know EXECSHELL is /usr/local/bin/zsh. I'm not quite sure what this does, it looks like it specifies the path /usr/local/bin/zsh but then invokes it as sh? That would certainly explain the lack of aliases!
Re: append .signature on message send?
Or you could create a macro in your editor that would call whatever program generates the time-stamped signature and then save-and-exit the editor. Aleksey

Trouble getting indicator to point to first message
Hi, I want to read my mail FIFO (ie oldest mail first). I don't have any "set sort" commands in my .muttrc, so mutt's defaulting to "date", which is just fine. However, the indicator goes to message 300, instead of message 1 when I start mutt. Is there an option to have the indicator go to message 1 at startup that I've missed in the manual? If not, is there any other way to accomplish this, please? $ mutt -v Mutt 1.0.1i (2000-01-18) Copyright (C) 1996-2000 Michael R. Elkins and others.

www.mutt.org comes up as www.gbnet.net?
Hi. I am trying to get to the mutt website, http://www.mutt.org/. The primary nameserver for mutt.org, ns.calyx.net, resolves www.mutt.org to 194.70.126.33; however when I try to go to http://www.mutt.org/, I get the web page for www.gbnet.net, "internet server for the young at heart". Now, I may be young at heart, but I want my mutt! :) Anybody know what's happenned with the web site, please? Thanks much, -at
