 What do you non-abook users use?  I don't care if it's textual or
 graphical.

Check out lbdb (Little Brother Data Base) -- google for 'lbdb'.  It has
a bunch of modules (including something called 'm_palm', and lots of
others) that can import address and print them out in a mutt-readable
manner (so the internal query utility can read them).  But I'll leave
that investigation to you.

 gqap in conjunction with 'comments' works well.  But I'm curious: how do
 folks handle reformatting text with multiple levels of quoting?

For me, it just works.  I think vim recognized the message I'm editing
as an email (part of it's auto file type recognition, I imagine) so it
also recognizes the typical quote characters...  'gqap' operates
correctly on multi-level quotes in this mail mode.  If you wonder how it
all works: 

  :help syntax
  :help formatting

in vim should answer all your questions.

 :-(

When I come out of a folder (to the browser screen), the folder I am
*in* is not marked with an N.  I belive that this is becuase this
folder is still open by the running mutt.  Is this what you are
referring to?

 Exchange, by default, makes it's Global Address Books available via

Thanks for the tip...  Good info.

 Anyone experinced mutt going to the wrong mailbox when you're in the

Sometimes... like when new mail comes in the mailbox I was just in, I
sometimes get taken back to said mailbox.  It happens so infrequently
that I have never worried about looking into it.

If so than you may be in luck.

 Perhaps it has something to do with the query functions? Do I need an
 external program to help? 

Absolutely you will.  Thus, the rest of this mail is a bit Off-Topic
for this list.

 Is there a HOWTO somewhere (Google did not find anything useful for
 mutt exchange howto)?

Mutt would have nothing to do with this...  So your search probably
wouldn't be that useful...  Furthermore, I don't know of a way (outside
of maybe Ximian's Exchange Connector program) to interface with
Exchange address books from non-M$ platforms.  If you have an LDAP
server at your office, you might want to try a google search for mutt
LDAP.  This seems to be a more logical choice (And returned a couple
interesting hits when I ran it).

But there is nothing in mutt (other than it's ability to read data from
external programs), that can interface with an Exchange server.

vi-style keybindings for mutt

2002-08-15 Thread David Britton

All,

I figure this question has been asked before, but I can't find it
anywhere.  Is there any way to switch the key-bindings while line-editing
(like at the 'To:' prompt or at any other prompt that *mutt* brings up)
to simple vi-style key bindings (I'm thinking of a patch here)?  Much
like you expect after typing 'set -o vi' at a Posix-sh prompt.

Thanks...

 no.  

That's unfortunate.

 send the patch!

Well, I doubt it, but we will see.

 
 i hope you are aware that there is a lot to be changed to achieve vi
 modes there?

Oh, I have a feeling it's more difficult than I want it to be, but I
would like the change (I hit esc just about every time I go to edit a
string in mutt).  Since I hardly ever use the arrow keys anywhere else,
it'd be nice if mutt could be taken off the short list.
