Greetings Camaleón,

Aye, I was going to suggest a split archive as well, then there should
be no need to encode the attached split-archive, just leave it as it
is... just use your favorite archiver (g/b/7/zip/xz) and split them ...
I would choose one appropriate to your friends environment though, so
s/he is able to use the file w/o too much hassle on their end.

 Update. I've sent myself gpg singed message and mutt asked me if I want to

 However, if I try to view any other message that is signed s in index it

At least you can sign mail, I still cannot, working on that! In the 
post-compose window (where you can add attachments and modify the 
headers), hit 'p' then 's' to sign or 'p' then 'a' to choose 
a key, you can use your 8-Char key, 10-key hex key or your e-mail after 
hitting 'a' to sign-as.

Re: mailcap setting for archives

2011-06-14 Thread Chris Brennan
* stardiviner numbch...@gmail.com [2011-06-15 00:49:04 +0800]:

 How to set mailcap fot mutt ? I googled it. nothing similar found. 
 I want to let mailcap can use some command like gunzip to get a list of 
 archive. 
 Just like a feature in Ranger file manager. 
 If you know mailcap, can you give me an example. Then I will know how to 
 write them .
 Thanks in advance.

Here is the two lines I use in my ~/.mailcap

ch...@stewie.xaerolimit.net:~$ cat .mailcap
text/html; /usr/bin/links2 -dump -force-html %s
application/pgp-keys; pgp -f  %s ; copiousoutput
ch...@stewie.xaerolimit.net:~$

Keep in mind, that I use mutt strictly on a headless box and I shell in 
to it to read my mail. So I don't have any mailcap settings for example 
to pass pdf's to a viewer (since this box doesn't run X, that wouldn't 
do me any good, although I could do something like pdf2text but that 
never looked right for me.

In your case though, if the file really is gzip, you could do

application/gzip; gzcat - ... provided the gzipped file is a textfile, 
else you could gzip -d and pipe it to your reader of choice, if it's 
been tar'd, then tar -xf - | your_reader might be more appropriate.

P.S. I'm still someone new to mailcap, so I might be wrong, there may be 
a better way to do this already. ither way, what ever you do find, post 
it to the list so it can be archived and found later.

manually. Since I already had your key from a previous fetch, all I had to
do was put my password in when prompted and I was able to read the content

dialog prompt for my password and not taking input directly from stdin?

When I am in mutt, I am asked to input my password, which I do like a

off to the ncurses dialog box vs a prompt from the console.

I tried to keep thinks as neat and organized as I could, the first 
block from /usr/share/doc/mutt-1.5.21-r1/samples/gpg.rc is completely
commented out except for the line to set my key. The rest of the blocks
I have created, I tried to ensure there were no duplicate or contrary 
settings.

As it stands, when I try to read encrypted mail with mutt I get the 
following message (after my password):

Invoking PGP... and then the message almost immediately switches to
Could not copy message and the encrypted messages remains unopened.

So that's where it stands right now, I've gotten further then before in
that I am no longer getting the bad passphrase error as I was before.

*EDIT* Check that, I tried to sign this mail and it failed, say hello to
my little friend bad passphrase.

 Well, do you have another machine you could try it on?
 
 If not, do a complete purge of both GPG and mutt, deleting (or saving)
 all config files.  But, _VERY_ IMPORTANT: make sure you keep your
 private key somewhere safe.  Don't ever lose it.
 
 Then reinstall them one at a time, and reconfigure from scratch; don't
 copy back your config, just in case.  Make sure each works on its own as
 it should before trying to use them together.
 
 We'll take it from there, I guess.

I do, I've been doing all of this on a headless gentoo machine next to me 
under the desk. At my feet is my old desktop, which now runs Debian 6, I
can set things up there and I also have a VPS I can try on. I'll start
setting things up on both of them and see how it goes from there.

It just seems strange that I can't sign mail but I can use gpg normally

 I tried this before (on the list I think) and when I was trying to get the 
 same help from some tanacious fellow users from freenode/#mutt. It didn't 
 work,
 but I will try again to see if something changed.
 
 'p', 's' added the following to my headers

 sign as: 0xeecd9a84d5b20c0c
 
 it still failed w/ the bad passphrase error I pasted earlier.

  make sure you got my key by doing gpg2 --list-keys?
 
 Yes, I even went as far as to restart mutt, I still don't see verified

back on list :D

 Thankfully, gpg makes it pretty hard to do stupid things like sending
 out your private key.  That block there is a PGP cleartext signature:
 what will appear with all your email once you begin to sign it; it's
 perfectly safe, and _is_ what signing is.

Good, that actually makes me feel slightly better ;D

 And since you can do that, that means your password is definately
 correct, and you _can_ sign with that key.

Yea, I was pretty sure I could, My pass is pretty damned complex and
I knew it's right, it's practically ingrained in me.

 That's fair enough and not particularly weird; it just seemed odd,
 that's all.

I will happily be odd. Makes I am doing my job! (What ever that is, I 
have NFC.)
 
 
 Yup.  I got your key.  ID D5B20C0C and subkey 65AD06FE; is that correct?

Yes, that is me, you are PUB: BE773416, SUB: BE835FD3/F9682620?

 Well, it can't, actually.  I've got it encrypted with gpg, and then in
 my .muttrc, I have:
 
 set imap_pass = `gpg --quiet --decrypt ~/.mutt-password-gmail`
 
 Note the backticks.  This is for bash, but should work for all shells.
 Also, make sure you encrypt to yourself so that only your private key
 can decrypt it.  Of course, gpg will still ask you to unlock the key
 when you start mutt anyway, so I don't really if it's a saving.  :P

I'll keep that handy  would that work for my actual gmail password 
as well?

 After all that, however, we are no closer to solving your issue.

Nope, we're not :(

 Can you please tell me the exact sequence you use to try to sign a
 message?

Compose/reply to a piece of mail, esc:x to save it, I get moved to the 
post-reply window. From there 'p', 'a' to Sign As, it asks for my KEY ID,
I enter either the 8-charater, 10-char hex, or my e-mail for my key and it
asks me to confirm the right key, since there is only one to choose from, 
I hit enter. and I see the MINE and Security entries update in the header.

Security: Sign (PGP/MIME)
sign as: 0xD5B20C0C
 
From that point, I hit 'y' to send and mutt prompts for my password, I 
enter it like a good drone, when I do, mutt then clears and I see my shell,
and the following message is printed to stdout:

gpg: skipped 0xD5B20C0C: Bad passphrase
gpg: signing failed: Bad passphrase
Press any key to continue...

But I know my pass is right.

 Also, can you automatically verify my messages?  To get my key, use
 gpg2 --recv-keys BE773416
 Then, when you open (you'll need to close and open again) my messages in
 mutt, it should say signature verified at the top.

I got your key without issue, but I don't see signature verified at the top.

 From :help fo-table:
 l   Long lines are not broken in insert mode: When a line was longer
 than 'textwidth' when the insert command started, Vim does not
 automatically format it.
 
 I'm guessing that you have no problems with auto-wrapping when you open
 other files?  Just type vim into your shell and start hammering a
 sentence; it should wrap just fine.

In just VIm, text wraps to my terminal, even when I explistily set the 
following befor typing.

:set wrap
:set tw=72

vim still blindly ignores textwidth, if I ditch my overtly long .vimrc,
vim obeys like a good dog. but I loose lot of things that I've become 
accustomed to lol


 So, we need to figure out why you're getting that l there.  First
 thing is to check your .vimrc.  If you don't see anything there, look in
 your mail syntax file; mine is located at
 /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/syntax/mail.vim, but yours may be elsewhere,
 depending on your distro.  You can check which syntax file is in use
 with :set filetype.

ch...@stewie.xaerolimit.net:~$ grep tw .vimrc
18:+-- When joining lines, leave the cursor 
between joined lines
64: set linespace=0  don't insert any extra pixel lines 
betweens rows
104:set shiftwidth=4 auto-indent amount when using 
cindent, ,  and stuff like that
108:set textwidth=72
183:au BufRead,BufNewFile *.rb,*.rhtml set shiftwidth=2
193:au BufRead,BufNewFile *.notes set shiftwidth=8
ch...@stewie.xaerolimit.net:~$

My .vimrc has some crazy stuff in it, but nothing that wacky that it shouldn't 
see and obey line 104 ... as you can see, I stopped manually breaking at ~72.

 
  P.S. Incidentally, is my mail being sent twice? I am still references the
  web interface and I see my mail to the list twice there...
 
 I do not believe so.  I assume that you are using some sort of group by
 conversation/thread mode?  If that is the case, you will be seeing your
 sent message, and then the one that the mailing list sends out to
 _everyone_, including yourself.  Well, assuming that this list is
 configured the same as vger.  :\

GMail usually filters out the return-mail from a list, maybe because I am 
using an MUA now and not the web interface... I just wanted to make sure I
wasn't inappropriatly spamming the list w/ duplicates.

 First of all, :set wrap only wraps _visually_, which explains why it
 wraps to your terminal.  If you have column display turned on, what does

 Can you try using 'p', then 's'?

I tried this before (on the list I think) and when I was trying to get the 
same help from some tanacious fellow users from freenode/#mutt. It didn't work,
but I will try again to see if something changed.

'p', 's' added the following to my headers

Security: Sign (PGP/MIME)
sign as: 0xeecd9a84d5b20c0c

it still failed w/ the bad passphrase error I pasted earlier.


 Did you close and open my message after receiving the key?  And can you
 make sure you got my key by doing gpg2 --list-keys?

Yes, I even went as far as to restart mutt, I still don't see verified 
signature

In retrospect, I think this may have been what you were talking about

looking explicitly for Signature Verified. 

 However, it seems to me like gpg and mutt aren't talking to each

I was rolling that thought around my head all day, but I didn't know

 set folder=imaps://nicolas.kowal...@imap.gmail.com/

OK, I've got something simmilar - set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com:993
I'm setting imap_user on a seperate line, I didn't want to confuse the folder
variable because I am using Google for Domains.


 Let's say I have a news label defined in Gmail. It also appears as an 
 IMAP folder news, at the root of the IMAP hierarchy. 

Yeah, I figured out how to broswe the IMAP hierarchy, I just couldn't figure 
out how to actually move mail around to different folders.
 
 When viewing a message in INBOX, if I want to label it as news, then 
 archive it, I just hit s, followed by =news. Mutt first copies the 
 message in the news folder (labels it in Gmail), then removes the 
 message from INBOX (archives it in Gmail).

OK, so hitting 's' and then '=target folder' or is it :s='target folder'?
Like I had said before, I've been using the web interface for quite some time
now and I've amassed a complex nested structure of labels, some with spaces.
A majority of my mail is already filtered and labeled for me, but there are a
few that slip through, now at least I know I can label them from within mutt,
I will reserve new label's and filters for the web interface for now.

My next question is this, if the :s= cmd is used, do I put everything in 
single or double quotes after the equal sign? Treat it as a variable 
containing a string?

 Gmail/IMAP things are explained in details here: 
 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=75725

This link explains the basics to IMAP in gernal, for which I already know,
what it didn't explain was how to use GMail's IMAP features from within 
mutt, which seems to be a dead-zone of information, I found a plethoria of
information on the net about how to set it up and I was able to set mutt up 
and log into my email without issue on the first try. Now I am emparking on 
the process of utilizing the advanced features of the web interface from 
within mutt.

 That works OK for a small number of settings, but can become hard to 
 manage.  If vim filetype detection is enabled and working properly 
 (entering :set filetype in command mode in vim returns 
 filetype=mail), you can create $HOME/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim and 
 enter mail-specific settings there. For instance, mine starts out like:
 
 syntax on
 setlocal wrap
 setlocal textwidth=72
  do text=flowed wrapping
 setlocal formatoptions+=w
  don't autoindent or smartindent, as that just adds weird spaces into the
  middle of flowed text paragraphs
 setlocal noautoindent nosmartindent
 
 As you can see, you can take as much space as you want to make things 
 easy for your future self to understand why you're selecting certain 
 settings.

That's a great tip, and vim automatically picked the change up, I didn't 
have to do anything, (except fix some paste errors) except, vim isn't 
obeying tw=72, I'm still having to trim my mail to ~72 characters.

 From what I understand, it's thinking the reverse of tags.  When you're
 in a folder with Gmail, what you're actually seeing is all the emails
 that are labelled with that label.  The only real folders seem to be
 [Gmail]/All Mail and [Gmail]/Trash.

 So, onto my point, when you delete an email, you're actually only
 removing a label; when you move an email, you're removing a label and
 adding another; and when you're saving or copying, you're adding a
 label.

 I hope that's clear enough.

See, what I am afraid of is that when I mark my mail as as deleted, that it
will actually purge the 'deleted' mail and it will be gone for good (not
what I want obviously.) My goal is to just remove the inbox label so that
the mail is archived. I've been using GMail/Google for Domains for so long
that almost all of my mail is already presorted by labels anyway, but there
is the odd e-mail here and there that manages to go unlabeled.

As it stands, I've just been letting my mail build up in my inbox and every
few days, I just go and archive all the read-unstarred mail, but the point
is to move away from the web interface as much as possible...

using gpg, I uncommented the source line in my .muttrc to start using it and

I figured out how to add my key, I added my 8-charcater key and mutt changes it 
to a 10-character hexidecimal key. I'm not exactly sure if that is the right 
behavior but that isn't the larger issue. The larger issue is when I go to

I am new to mutt and I've getting some thing worked out but I am still hung up 
on somethings from using GMail and all their fancy features. While GMail in 
general is minimalistic, it's not enough for me. I need more. Mutt seems to 
suit my needs but I am curious. Is it possible to have mutt do the following

* import/use/sync my contacts from the mail server?
* properly label (I think mutt calls it tagging) my e-mail based on the labels 
I have already created in the Web Interface. (While I suspect the answer to 
this is no, I also suspect the answer to be yes with procmail, this would 
require I actually learn regex (which I haven't had time to get around to yet).)

Currently, I've got mutt set up to use IMAP, which suites my needs because I 
also check/read/reply/compose mail from 2 mobile devices (an Android phone and 
an iPod Touch (using iMailG)). If I want to be able to use my mail in the same 
fashion as I have been, then I suspect I need to make a choice about how I 
manage my mail because I think using Procmail to sort my mail would require me 
to shift to pop3 which is rather undesireable right now.

 It just works as long as you have the appropriate program associated
 with the file type in Finder. It's only for text MIME types that I
 have more specific entries, and that's only so I can read HTML
 e-mail easily in mutt, rather than using a web browser for it.
 
 Hope this helps,

How exactly are you reading HTML mail via mutt? I haven't been able to figure 
that out yet.

 A program called 'goobook' will help with this.

I haz googled for this, and checked it out, will fiddle with it later, thanks.

 This depends on how you're integrating mutt with gmail.  If you're using
 IMAP then procmail doesn't come into play.  To use procmail -- which
 would help with this problem -- you'd need to sync your gmail mailbox
 down to wherever you run mutt.  That might be obvious to you but for the
 archive's sake it's worth making clear.

Esentially, this is what I thought, I'd rather stick w/ IMAP so I can use
my mobile devices as well.

 As far as I know, there is no way to retrieve the tags associated with a
 given message using Gmail's IMAP interface.  You can retrieve messages
 with a given tag by selecting that tag/folder in the IMAP folder browser,
 but you can't go the opposite way.  So there's no way to implicitly make
 that information available comprehensively to mutt.

Didn't think so here either, would have been nice :D

 If Google did provide a virtual header that listed all labels associated
 with a message when you retrieve the message via POP/IMAP, I'd
 definitely support it in the keywords code I'm maintaining.  Bonus
 points if it's a sort of approximately standard header.  (I know we have
 had some gmail engineers on this list)

This would be very nice, maybe wishfull thinking for the future? BTW, 
Thanks for your reply, goes far for me being able to use mutt instead of 
being slammed, flammed, bashed or just ignored ... One more question for
now, how do I limit the width when composing/replying to mail?

 It is possible there is a more elegant way to do it but this entry
 works for me.

At the same time I asked this, someone else pointed out else where the following

text/html; /usr/bin/links2 -force-html %s

they used elines, I just substituted links2, we'll see how it works
