I'm not sure why. I'm including in the message everything between (but not including) the LAST Content-Blah: header and the mime boundary. I also tried removing the trailing and leading blank lines. No comination of that helped. Read RFC 2015. :) Is there some magic trick? Does mutt sign some other portion of the text message, or include mime headers? This would make no sense to me, but I suppose it's possible. The mime headers are defined to be included in the signature by RFC 2015. It's *also* require that the body still be in QP encoded form as well as that lines are terminated by \r\n instead of the unix standard of \n. All of this is explained in the RFC pointed to above. Note that the message I'm testing on is a plain text message, not quoted printable, so the conversion shouldn't be an issue, if it ever is... Check the line terminator as well as making sure you're including the mime headers. By following RFC 2015 by hand, I can verify a PGP/MIME encoded message. - --JT - -- [-] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8QUBOlZQYYI16LJQRAkZ5AJwMqHp7QEpZD9UdbXdNYFEKVYOtqgCfZbH9 LsA58aZD/pJCSebP82bOJHw= =Pwc6 -END PGP SIGNATURE-

That's pretty slick, I must admit. mutt currently does not have that
functionality, but I can see how it would be rather nice.
Drat.
Perhaps that feature will come. I'm afraid, though, that at the
moment your lack of results is the expected behavior.
HTH HAND I sure would like to see that, too!
Unfortunately it doesn't really help. Maybe someone on here will be
adventuresome enough to make such a patch? I certainly don't know the
internals of MUTT enough to do so currently.
Unfortunately this leaves me in a rather annoying place.
I have to either (as I'm doing now) use pine and deal with it's poor
handling of PGP/GPG and eventually find or write a patch which makes pine
handle PGP/MIME bodies, or I have to learn a new mailer, deal with it's
poor handling of folders and eventually find or write a patch which gives
it the folder handling I want.
If there is someone who wants to take on (or collaborate) on taking on
this second task, I'd love to discuss it and help with it as I consider
myself a fair-to-decent coder :)
Thanks again for the help.

Question about mutt and folders
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Okay, a bit of history. I'm currently a Pine user and I'm considering
switching to Mutt since I have need of useable and useful PGP/GPG
handling.
I have one local machine and two remote IMAP machines, each of which have
mail folders on them. For sake of explanation, lets call them
mail.server1.com which contains INBOX, folder1 and folder2
and
mail.server2.com which contains INBOX, folder3 and folder4
Under pine, I can easily set up three mail collections as follows
folder-collections=server1 {mail.server1.com}mail/[],
server2 {mail.server2.com}mail/[],
local mail/[]
which will let me see all of the folders on the local machine, server1 and
server2 on the folder screen and transfer files between them easily. This
functionality is actually fairly important to me as it enables me to get
things I need to do done quickly.
Under mutt, I cannot seem to get this to work. I figured out that if
I 'set folder={mail.server1.com}; set imap_home_namespace=mail' I can see
the folders on server1, and if I set folder={mail.server2.com} I can see
the folders on server2. However, try as I might, I cannot seem to find a
way to get all of these folders to appear on the 'c' screen.
I spent most of today hunting around a bit in the hopes that somewhere on
the web this was documented, or that someone had implemented something
similar to pines folder collections for mutt, but so far I seem to have
hit a blank wall.
Anyone out there able to help me out?
The requirements of the solution are
a) being easily able to get a list of the folders on either machine as
well as locally, preferably all at the same time with some sort of
organization.
b) being able to easily move a message from one folder (on any machine) to
any other folder (potentially on a different machine) without having to
type in the entire imap URL or local path. IE, being in server1 in
folder1, I would love to be able to say 's folder3' and have it go to the
right place, or even (at worst) 's serv2/folder3' (ie collection/folder).
Best would be able to have something similar to pine where it let me
quickly scan through the collections and the folders within them via
something akin to the ^N/^P that pine allows.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Other termcap things....
Varying terms you use may help... I have similar problems with WTerm and rxvt on FreeBSD - stable versions; I have trouble binding function keys. The workaround I found was to use ctrl-v literals while editing muttrc. So instead of binding my macros to 'F2', etc, I map them to (type this literally, not as it appears) CTRL-VF2. In vi/vim the ctrl-v says insert the next character, literally. I don't know why this works but it does.

alias list expansion
Hi, How can I request that mutt does *not* expand an alias list? Suppose I have alias foo-workers worker1, worker2, ... and I send a message to `foo-workers'; I do *not* want the To: field to be expanded into the names of everyone on that list. TIA/jtw

character sets
I'm trying to figure out how to display diacritical marks in my received
emails. I've tried setting LC_CTYPE as suggested in the FAQ; that leads
to the error message `couldn't set locale correctly'. I've read about
`charset' and `charset-hook' in the manual, but what do I actually *do*
in my .muttrc to get a better character set? (Something like PC-850
charset would be fine).
PS: I installed charmaps-0.0.tar.gz prior to building mutt.

Re: IMAP blues
-: set envelope_from Ok, that did the trick. Thanks! Well, maybe I spoke too soon. It's true that the list servers I was having problems with are now recognizing me, but our SysAdmin tells me there are still problems (see his explanation below). Is this really a problem? I'd like to keep using mutt/IMAP if I could TIA/jtw --- MUTT seems to use normal sendmail channels to send messages rather than connecting directly to the IMAP server. We run in a full IMAP environment (/var/mail is not mounted to client machines and clients do not run sendmail daemon). This results in the sender's address being set to user@localhost regardless of what MUTT settings are changed. The final header shows the sender's address as being from the workstation MUTT was running on rather than the mail server. In this respect, it behaves exactly like "mailx".
Re: nonstandard screen size
-: % How can I tell Mutt to work with an 18 line x 80 column -: % screen? -: -: Use your stty command to set the number of rows to 18 like Ok, mutt definitely cooperates with `stty' resizing of the terminal on my Sun station (with TERM=dtterm and with TERM=vt100). Resizing the `vt100' terminal on the Psion S5 does well with some things (e.g., GNU less), but with mutt there is still some scrambling, text misalignment, and incomplete redrawing of the screen. (Frankly, I think the S5 `vt100' emulation must not be too good, because I can see lots of ANSI-type control sequences scrolling across the screen during mutt startup). Is there anything else I could try? The only terminal emulation choices on the S5 are `vt100' and `tty'. TIA---jtw
