Re: Scheduling deferred sending of emails
Hello Sébastian, I remember replying to a similar post on Unix Stackexchange in the past: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/554369/85046 Best, JJ On 2023-07-29 12:07, Sébastien Hinderer wrote: Dear all, I would like to be able to respond to emails quickly to have it done but defer the actual sending of the response to slow down conversations. Ideally at the moment of sending I would specify a date and time after which I am fine with the mail being sent. For example, I respond to an email on Friday afternoon but can express that I want it to be actually sent anytime after next Monday 9pm. That could be by adding a special header to the email or by responding to questions at send time, I don't mind and it's not really the usesr interface I'd like to discuss here. What I rather would like to discuss is rather whether and how this could be implemented in the MUA/MTA framework mutt belongs to. I believe that more integrated solutions like Thunderbird do have such scheduled deferred sending features, but I have no idea how this can be achieved in presence of both an MUA and an MTA because the feature seems to be at the interface between the two: there needs to be a way for the MUA to tell the MTA about the deferred sending and of course the MTA does not only need to undestand it, it also needs to actually implement it. I had a superficial look to exim4 which I use as an MTA but didn't find anything related, but perhaps my search has been too shallow. I also considered adding another MTA between mutt and Exim4 which would keep the deferred mails until the scheduled date and pass them to Exim4 only at that moment but it felt a bit a pity to have to use one dedicated software component just for that as, I assume, it would widely resemble a traditional MTA, having a lot in common with it. Any idea will be more than welcome. Best wishes, Seb. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: remove "To" from recipient field
Hi, I've did a little digging and I think it is not possible with mutt. There's a index_format expando %Fp in neomutt [1] doing exactly what you want, whereas it's missing in mutt [2].

Hi Jason, You're looking for config option [1]header_color_partial 1. http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#header-color-partial set header_color_partial = yes color hdrdefault FG BG color header FG BG "REGEX" color header FG1 BG1 "REGEX1" tune the colors FG, BG and REGEX to your needs.

Second some senders have weird capitalization of headers. Is it possible to display some canonical representation of any given standard header? To clarify, if the header is sent as "reply-to", I would like to always see "Reply-To" in the pager. Thanks! -- Jason -- Jakub Jindra signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Set variable depending on environment (or similar)
source `echo .muttrc-$HOSTNAME` allows you to have all hostname specific for all hosts in a single directory On 2022-01-20 13:07, Tapani Tarvainen wrote: On Thu, Jan 20, 2022 at 09:52:08AM +, Chris Green (c...@isbd.net) wrote: I run mutt on two systems with near identical muttrc files, it would be very handy to be able to make the muttrc files identical to simplify maintenance. Essentially the *only* difference between the two muttrc files is my E-Mail address used in alternates and my_hdr commands. On one system I can use the system's hostname to form my address but not on the other. Is there a way to set a variable according to the value of another variable (or command output)?

Re: Background edit in new terminal window
Hi, If you're familiar with tmux you can try solution from [1]this github issue.

Re: How to generate html mime message?
Hi Peng, the y^T^U means: The first "command" of the macro is `F` which is default binding for . This is how You process message through pandoc and it asks a question about overwriting the original message in tempfile that's why there's a `y` to confirm the question. When you execute it on your own you'll see: WARNING! You are about to overwrite /path/to/tmpmailefile continue? ([no]/yes): `^T` is default key binding for `^U` is readline default binding to kill line (basically remove original content of Content-type) It is be easier to read and more portable when You replace key bindings for the functions: ``` macro compose \e5 \ "pandoc -s -f markdown -t html\ text/html; charset=utf-8" ``` Best, Jakub On 2021-02-07 09:26, Peng Yu wrote: Hi, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108485/send-email-written-in-markdown-using-mutt I see the following muttrc command is used to compose an HTML message on the above URL.
