Desktop - Laptop mail data exchange
Hi! Some weeks ago there was a discussion about desktop - laptop mail data exchange. The idea was to have on both systems the same mail data. It should be possible on both systems to get/read/move/delete and post messages. The mail dir on both systems should be updated automatically. Because I couldn't follow the discussion I would like to know if a solution was found? Isn't this a common problem of mail data exchange? Can't we look at other email software for solutions? Best regards, Daniel.
Re: Mutt under Win2k
Hi! I would like to get mutt running on my notebook and M$ Windows. I've looked at the www.cygwin.com homepage but could not make out that mutt is supported by cygwin. Where do I get the source or binary of mutt for cygwin? BTW: cygwin is new for me and not yet installed on my notebook. What tools do I have to install on the laptop to get mutt running? Thank you very much for your answer. Best regards, Daniel.
nice URL handling
Hi! Here are two nice ideas for URL handling: 1) Colorize URLs in the pager: color body magenta default '(((ftp|http|https)|mailto)[.:][^ "]*|www.[-a-z_0-9/.?=,:]+)[^ .,;"():]' 2) start netscape on URL with mouse usage: macro pager \eh '!netscape-remote h' 'netscape-remote' is a shell script: - #/bin/csh -f netscape -noraise -remote 'OpenURL('$1',new-window)' - The usage is: 1. Mark URL to view with left mouse button 2. Press ESC 3. Press middle mouse button 4. Press Enter For me this is a much better handling than using urlview. My problem with urlview is, that it only extracts a list of URLs, but not the text belonging to the URL. Reading a mail including several URLs one gets lost with urlview. Best regards, Daniel.
Re: multipart application/pgp
Hi! After further investigation of the problem I've written a script for procmail or any other mail filter program. This script does one nice thing, which I missed in "formail". "formail" can only change lines in the header of emails. The Content-Type being to be changed for pgp attachments is in the body of the email. Therefore my script scans through the body of an email. If it finds an attachment with the sequence "^-BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-" it changes the Content-Type of the attachment to "Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=encrypt". The header of the email stays "multipart/". To get procmail execute the script, the whole pgp section in my .procmailrc is now: cut here ## ## PGP ## MAILFILTER_PGP_ATTACHMENT=${HOME}/bin/mailfilter_pgp_attachment :0 * !^Content-Type: message/ * !^Content-Type: multipart/ * !^Content-Type: application/pgp { :0 fBw * ^-BEGIN PGP MESSAGE- * ^-END PGP MESSAGE- | $FORMAIL -i "Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=encrypt" :0 fBw * ^-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- * ^-BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- * ^-END PGP SIGNATURE- | $FORMAIL -i "Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=sign" } :0 * ^Content-Type: multipart/ { :0 fBw * ^-BEGIN PGP MESSAGE- * ^-END PGP MESSAGE- | $MAILFILTER_PGP_ATTACHMENT - } cut here The filter script "mailfilter_pgp_attachment" is attached to this msg. What do you think about this solution? Ideas, comments are welcome. Regards, Daniel.

Tagged msgs not considered when pager open
Hello! I'm using the pager with the setting "set pager_index_lines=10". This means, that I can see 10 lines of the index even when the pager is showing the contents of one email. When I tag some msgs and still have one msg open in the pager a command like "save msgs" works only on the open msgs but not on the tagged msgs, although I've set "set auto_tag". Is this a bug or a feature? Regards, Daniel.

MIME text/plain attachment too big
Hi! When opening a received mail containing a text/plain MIME attachment mutt always displays the contents of this attachment inside the pager.

Re: Is it possible to have a Trashbox?
macro index d "save-message=trashenter" macro pager d "save-message=trashenter" This will always save the message to the folder "=trash" whenever you "delete" it, and mark it for deletion from the current folder. You have to clean up =trash yourself when you want it, possibly from the command line manually, or from a crontab entry for periodic execution. here is a solution for delete-thread: macro index \CD "\et;save-message=trashenter" macro pager \CD "\et;save-message=trashenter" Regards, Daniel.
vim looking like mutt pager

FEATURE-REQUEST: mutt looks for PGPPASS environment variable
Hello mutt-developers, here is a feature request for future versions of mutt: Mutt looks for the PGPPASS environment variable. If this is set, then no passphrase is needed to be send to pgp program, because pgp looks for the PGPPASS variable by itself. Mutt will also not ask the user for the passphrase. This should be easy to implement. The user would then have the option to set the passphrase via a wrapper-script permanently. For example: muttwrap --- #!/usr/bin/sh set $passparam=$* if ( ps -U $LOGNAME | grep mutt | grep -v muttwrap /dev/null ) then echo "WARNING: You are already running Mutt." echo " Starting Mutt in readonly mode." echo echo "Please enter passphrase: " stty -echo read pgppassphrase PGPPASS=$pgppassphrase; export PGPPASS stty echo $PATHTOMUTT/mutt -R $* else echo "Please enter passphrase: " stty -echo read pgppassphrase PGPPASS=$pgppassphrase; export PGPPASS stty echo $PATHTOMUTT/mutt $passparam fi -- Thank you very much! Regards, Daniel.
Re: FEATURE-REQUEST: mutt looks for PGPPASS environment variable
Don't do that. Storing the pgp pass phrase in an environment variable may have been a valid option on MS-DOS computers. It isn't on Unix machines, since the environment is not guaranteed to be confidential. I'm working on unix. In the PGP CmdLineGuide you will find a section about this. There you can read that using this feature is safe when you use in in a environment where no one else has access to it. I'm doing that. The environment is only active as long as mutt is open. No one from outside can access it. The wrapper script asks me for entering the passphrase and starts mutt immedeately after this. So, it is safe. The only thing a would agree is that someone can change the wrapper script to send the passphrase via email to outside... Also, what's the point in using a shell script like the one below? - There is no reason to avoid running two mutts on the same mailbox. Mutt _does_ know how to graciously deal with concurrent access to mail folders. - There is no point in asking for the pass phrase in a shell script, and then storing it in $PGPPASS. Mutt will ask for the pass phrase the first time it's needed, and remember it for the coming $pgp_timeout seconds. The default is 300 seconds; you can easily change that from your .muttrc. Maybe you have read my previous email regarding the mutt_octet-filter which can decrypt pgp encrypted octet-streams. The PGPPASS environment variable is the easiest way to remember the passphrase. But now I have to enter the passphrase two times. One for my octet-filter and one for mutt. What solution to you see? Daniel.
Using mutt and pgp without asking for passphrase ?
I'm setting the passphrase via the PGPPASS environment variable before starting mutt. Wenn I open a pgp encrypted message mutt still asks me for the passphrase. This is not necessary, because pgp looks automatically for the PGPPASS environment variable. So, how do I disable this function in mutt? Daniel.
Mutt and PGP passphrase
Mutt can remember the pgp passphrase once it is entered by the user. How does mutt passes the phrase over to pgp when en-/decrypting a message? Is there an algorithm that checks for the pgp passphrase input message and sends it as stdin ? Daniel.
pgp encrypted text in octet-stream attachment

application/octet-stream
Hi there, I'm not happy with the way mutt manages received mail attachments. One problem is: I often receive html-pages pgp encrypted as octet-stream. Questions: 1) How can I implement in the octet.filter.script the pgp decryption? 2) After decrypting I don't want to see the HTML code in the pager, but with Netscape. Can mutt do the attachment recognition recursively? 3) Can procmail modify the incoming messages in that way, that it replaces the "application/octet-stream" to a mime type determined in a similar way as the octet.filter.script does it? Then, mutt would handle the attachment concerning to its mailcap entry. Regards, Daniel.
