Re: pretty-print mutt emails
* Globe Trotter via Mutt-users [2021-11-22 00:47:10 +]: What is the recommended way to pretty-print mutt emails? I found a sourceforge perl script called muttprint but that was last updated in 2008, and I was wondering what folks here recommended? Thanks! Hi, I use the following sh(1) script to format the message as troff and convert to pdf: https://adamsgaard.dk/tmp/muttprint-groff.sh It's a bit ugly in places, but it works for me. This is an example: https://adamsgaard.dk/tmp/muttprint-example.pdf I bind it in my muttrc with the following: set print_command="$HOME/.config/mutt/muttprint-groff.sh" best regards, Anders
Re: multiple color schemes
* Jon LaBadie [2021-09-08 01:20:27 -0400]: I've always preferred a black letters on white background scheme. However, after cataract surgery I'm considering using a dark background scheme. Has anyone a technique for defining multiple color schemes and toggling among them while using mutt? I already keep my color scheme in a separate file and source that file from ~/.muttrc. To extend that, I created two files for light and dark schemes and separate macros (,l and ,d) to source them while running mutt. I'd like to reduce that to a single macro that toggles between the files or one that allows selecting from multiple scheme files, perhaps in round robin fashion. -- Jon H.

(703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C) Hi Jon, What about keeping mutt to default foreground and background colors, and switching the terminal color scheme instead? I have this set up, and it allows me to change the color scheme across any terminal programs I use. While white fg on black bg is my usual preference, black fg on white bg is more readable to me when I'm outside and there is more ambient glare on the display. I use the following mutt colors definitions: color normal default default color indicator default color7 color status default default color index bold default default ~N|~F|~T|~D mono index bold ~N|~F|~T|~D My terminal is a patched version of st (https://st.suckless.org), where I added Ctrl-Shift-x to flip between two color schemes: https://src.adamsgaard.dk/st/files.html git://src.adamsgaard.dk/st Color schemes (colorname and altcolorname arrays) and other options are set in config.h at compile time. Just my two cents! Cheers, Anders
Re: It's still 2020. :-(
Hi Alan, * Alan Mackenzie [2021-01-04 10:18:36 +]: Hello, mutt. I'm using mutt 2.0.2 (from Gentoo). On mutt's list of incoming mails (my inbox), it displays the date of all new mails as January 2020, even though the date header displayed in each individual mail is correctly January 2021. If this has already been fixed in 2.0.3 or 2.0.4, then sorry for the noise. No problem here with 2.0.3. Are you sure this is not related to the mail server? If you sync the files to a local maildir, you can check the header in one of the plaintext mail files. Anders -- Anders Damsgaard https://adamsgaard.dk gopher://adamsgaard.dk
Re: Macro question
* Tom Tunguz [2020-12-10 20:11:47 -0800]: Hi, I'm just getting into mutt and really enjoying it. I'm trying to create a macro to add someone to the cc window that appears after closing the editor (vim in my case) and mutt shows the to, cc, BCC, subject fields. I'd like to hit control + g and add an email address. My current macro is this but it's not working. Can anyone help me fix this? macro editor \cg "c mut t...@gmail.com" Hi Tom, I think you need to bind the "compose" menu instead. Also, \cg seems to be reserved, so use something else. Finally, the email address seems malformed. The following works: macro compose \cb "c mutt " Cheers, Anders -- Anders Damsgaard https://adamsgaard.dk gopher://adamsgaard.dk
Re: mutt for office 365 mfa
* Scott Brozell [2020-06-10 14:09:17 -0400]: Hi, The organization i work for has forced on us office 365 multi factor authentication. In addition to outlook duo they are supporting evolution and have setup a tenant and application id for it. Is it possible to use those with mutt ? thanks, scott Hi Scott I've run into a similar situation. My non-ideal workaround is to have a machine always running evolution, forwarding all mail to a normal imap account that I access with isync/mutt. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a better solution. Cheers, Anders -- Anders Damsgaard https://adamsgaard.dk gopher://adamsgaard.dk
Re: large IMAP mailboxes (OutLook)
* Matthias Apitz [2019-11-12 21:22:00 +0100]: There is no caching of the mails in any database and update the cached information off-line. If you haven't already, try setting $header_cache and $message_cachedir. According to the mutt manual, you are likely to achieve the best performance if the cache variables point to directories (you can also store cache in files). If using directories for the caching, make sure they exist on the file system before launching mutt. You can safely use the same dir for both. Best, Anders -- Anders Damsgaard https://adamsgaard.dk
Re: Aliases
Hi Steve, Maybe you are already aware of this plugin, but https://github.com/vim-scripts/mutt-aliases allows you to autocomplete aliases from insert mode in vim, which is useful if you `set edit_headers` in your muttrc. In your example you would input group1 as the recipients (`To: `) field in mutt, and type `joe@@` in the `Cc: ` field in vim.
