Re: Regex - Date Range

2000-08-22 Thread Christian Molls

* Hardy Merrill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000822 14:42]:

 so since I want to tag everything with a "sent" date less than
 Jul 7, I entered "shift-T", and it asks me to enter the pattern
 to tag, so I enter
 
   ~d [5 Jul 2000]
 
 but that doesn't work.  What format does the date that I enter
 have to be in?

Try "~d -5/7/2000" to tag all messages older that July 5th, 2000.

Re: Again: gpg and screen refresh

2000-08-20 Thread Christian Molls

* Henrique M. Holschuh [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000819 18:51]:

 Strange, it works fine in 1.2.x, all the gpg: messages just get tacked in
 the PGP output block (for signed but NOT encripted messages). Is the problem
 you're having only triggered by signed AND encripted messages? (and signed
 AND encripted by mutt or by standalone GPG?)

It happens with both signed and signed+encrypted messages. However, I
think I can live with the "2/dev/null" solution.

Re: Strategies for archiving mails

2000-08-20 Thread Christian Molls

* Kai Weber [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000820 19:13]:

 I am searching for some tips how to archive and collect my mails. I do
 not want to delete mails I get. After 3 months using Linux my mailboxes
 grow and grow.
 
 How do you sort and archive your mails? I want to collect some possible
 solutions for first information and to see what is possible.
 
 If it is a integrated mutt-procmail-solution it would be nice.

There has been an interesting thread on this topic starting end of
July. The subject was "automatic mail archiving". David Champion
posted a nice solution to the problem on July 31 (not exactly sure
about that date). It spoils make, procmail, and mutt and a clever use
of symbolic links. I have it running here for about ten mailing lists,
and it works beautifully.

Re: New mutt user

2000-08-20 Thread Christian Molls

* Dave Kufta [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000820 19:51]:

 pgp-6.5.1I . I noticed in some screenshots a very nice interface for
 mutt in xwindow enviroment which had very nice color and a menu bar
 at the top which included a button for pgp among others. Could
 someone on the list possibly suggest where I may find a muttrc file
 that would allow these features. I found the screenshot I'm
 referring to at the main web site for mutt but don't see in any of
 the muttrc files that are there a way to enable the menu bar.

If you take another, closer look at the text accompanying the
screenshots, you will read that the menu bar does not belong to mutt,
but is a feature of the terminal application mutt runs in (in this
screenshot it's ETerm, rxvt can do it too, maybe other).

Re: Install v. Patches

2000-08-16 Thread Christian Molls

* George Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000816 14:22]:

 I want to upgrade from 1.0.1i to the current 1.2.5i.  What is the best
 approach for this - installing patches in successive order or just
 downloading the current tarball and installing it?

I guess it is a matter of taste and bandwidth. If you sit at home with
a 14.4 modem connection and still want to live at the bleeding edge of
mutt development, downloading the small patches will save you time and
money. If you have got a T3 link to the net, and 2 or 3 MB more or
less are a matter of seconds, just get the tar ball and save yourself
the work of fiddling with patches.

Re: Folder overview ?

2000-08-16 Thread Christian Molls

* Daniel Kollar [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000816 16:58]:

 I'm missing an incoming folders overview.
 Procmail is spooling the incoming mail to different folders.
 How do I detect, which folders content new mail without entering each?

Put something like the following into your muttrc:

mailboxes ! =linux-users =mutt-users ...

Pressing "c" change-folder and "?" will show a mailbox overview,
where folders containing new messages have a "N" in front of their
name.

BTW, mutt has a pretty good manual...



Re: Loading mail setup at editor (vim) start

2000-07-31 Thread Christian Molls

* Johannes Zellner [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000731 11:50]:

 how can I let read some special mail configs (e.g. set tw=72) when edit
 a email/news messages?

 autocmd FileType mail set tw=72 nocin ai expandtab
 (this is what I have)

au BufNewFile,BufRead /tmp/mutt* source ~/.vim/mutt_vimrc
(this is what I have)

The advantage of this solution is that it also works on messages which
have been postponed and are recalled (via the "R" command). My vim 5.4
fails to properly detect the syntax in those cases, and Johannes'
autocmd would not be executed.

Which leads to the question: why does syntax detection work on all
mails except that have been postponed and are recalled?
