Matching with ~h over IMAP
I use spamassassin which tags suspected spam with a header that looks like this: X-Spam-Flag: YES I'm using the '~h' pattern modifier to match messages with that header. However, it appears that instead of just fetching the headers, mutt is fetching the complete message for every message in my inbox in order to match that pattern. Is that correct? Is it possible I have something misconfigured? -Ben -- Ben Beuchler There is no spoon. [EMAIL PROTECTED]-- The Matrix

What I'm thinking of is setting up a macro which uses [F]ilter to process the message through "gpg --encrypt --armor --recipient X" where X is the recipient's address. I can do this by hand per-message and it seems to work well enough. My questions are: 1) is it possible to use a variable for the recipient address, and therefore set up a macro in such a manner that I won't have to manually filter the message and enter the recipient each time? 2) is there a better way to do this? In your mutt distribution's contrib directory, you should see a 'gpg.rc' that has all the normal bindings.

PGP/MIME headers
I know know PGP stuff is supposed to be specified via MIME headers. I'm just not sure which technique is best. Mutt is attaching a Content-Type header like this: Content-Type: multipart/encrypted; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted"; boundary="FoLtEtfbNGMjfgrs" Content-Disposition: inline Which shows up as an attachment if viewed in Pine. Messages sent from Pine, however, use a header format like this: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=encrypt Which shows up inline. From my perusal of RFC1806, it sounds like the Content-Disposition header combined with a multipart MIME message should, indeed, be displayed as an attachment. -- 2.5 Content-Disposition and Multipart If a Content-Disposition header is used on a multipart body part, it applies to the multipart as a whole, not the individual subparts. The disposition types of the subparts do not need to be consulted until the multipart itself is presented. When the multipart is displayed, then the dispositions of the subparts should be respected. -- Is my interpretation of that snippet correct? If so, it seems it would be preferrable to not set up PGP encrypted messages as multipart so they can be viewed inline by Pine and other MUAs. Since mutt has a record of being extremely correct in it's observation of RFCs, I'm assuming that my understanding of the situation is incorrect. I would be very interested in an explanation of my (presumed) misunderstanding. I also would appreciate any recommendations that I could use to configure mutt to allow "inline" viewing of encrypted messages by other less correct MUAs.

I have searched through the manual and can't seem to track down a way to start mutt with threads already collapsed. Perhaps I'm missing something elemental about the way mutt works... Ben -- "There is no spoon" -- The Matrix
Multiple IMAP accounts?
Has anyone come up with a way to access multiple IMAP accounts on different servers from mutt? Or even a way to configure a macro that will switch me from one to the other? Or am I stuck setting up two seperate .muttrc files and restarting mutt to switch? Gracias, Ben -- "There is no spoon" -- The Matrix
Attachments when using IMAP
I use mutt 1.1.9i at work to connect via IMAP to a server at home. If I attempt to attach a file, it only finds files on the IMAP server instead of in my home directory on the machine from which I am running mutt. So, I usually end up scp-ing the file over to my mail server and attaching it to the message from there. Did I screw something up or did I find a bug? Thanks, Ben -- "There is no spoon" -- The Matrix

I started using xterm with a smaller font, so more words fit per line. I got complaints about my word wrap. I have word wrap margin set to 10 in vi, but that isn't helping, i guess. Is there a better way? -- -jm -- "There is no spoon" -- The Matrix
moving mail to other folder after it's read...
When I first started using mutt, all of 3 days ago, I was using the latest stable release... 1.01 I believe. Anyway, I was able to set it up so that when I closed mutt, it copied all of the mail I had completed reading into a different folder. Now I am playing with the 1.1.2 release and it doesn't seem to be working anymore. Do I need to do configure it differently under the newer version to accomplish the same thing? Incidentally, I'm using IMAP folders if it matters... Thanks, Ben
