Imap folders not listed in the sidebar
Hi Folks, I wanted to save a message I received. So I pressed s and was asked where I wanted to save the message. I chose to create a new folder called TurboTax. My question is what do I need to do for this new folder to appear in my sidebar? In my .muttrc file I have: set imap_list_subscribed set imap_check_subscribed I am using StartMail as my email provider. When I go to their webmail interface I do see the new TurboTax folder listed as a subfolder of Inbox. I have several subfolders and they all appear in the Mutt sidebar except for the new TurboTax folder. Thank you, John

IMAP Folders - Mutt Patched
For what it's worth, I use Mutt Patched from the Ubuntu repository. It gives me a side bar that lists all of my IMAP folders. Ctrl+n moves to the next folder and Ctrl+p moves to the previous folder.

Great - thank you guys! -- John
Re: showing mails with attachment in index
Use %X in index_format to show the attachment count. You can use it
conditionally to make it look better:
%?X?%2X ?
I use something like this:
%?X?{%2X}%4c?
which shows me the attachment count if there are attachments, or the
message size otherwise.
Perhaps I misread this, but how specifically are you using %?X?{%2X}%4c?
How is this written in your .muttrc file?

Re: trying repository mutt again
John Long raises some good points. It seems pretty haphazard the way things are now. I think I would purge Mutt and Postfix and then start over in an orderly fashion. Having said that, it appears after searching the web that many many people have trouble sending mail with a GoDaddy account. Specifically, authentication seems to be problematic.

Template Question
Hello Fellow Mutters, I often have to send the same message to the same group of people. Specifically I send a note that a website has been updated. I have been doing this in Mutt using an alias that contains all of the email address the message is sent to and then hitting a key sequence to call a script that uses xclip and xdotool to paste the contents of a file into the message body. What I am wondering is there a way I can save the message recipients, message subject and message body as a template in mutt and then run a command to send that message whenever I wish? The idea is that I'd no longer have to type a subject or paste in the message body. -- John
Never mind - I should have searched first
Sorry for the spam guys. I found the answer to my questions: Mutt also supports a ``batch'' mode to send prepared messages. Simply redirect input from the file you wish to send. For example, mutt -s data set for run #2 profes...@bigschool.edu ~/run2.dat This command will send a message to ``profes...@bigschool.edu'' with a subject of ``data set for run #2''. In the body of the message will be the contents of the file ``~/run2.dat''. -- John

Type ';' or whatever you have the tag-prefix command bound to, then 's'. Mutt will prompt you for a file name, give it a directory name. When mutt asks for confirmation, type 'a' to save all attachments in the directory. Thank you for the clear concise answer! -- John

So people who are looking for real mailing life, and don't want to depend on fine GUI solution that are actually more complicated that the following, only under the hood, but that's exactly where you need to know things when real issues affect you in you life on the internet where you need free and unsurveilled moving and friendship to you wishes and not to some yucky stasibook, sorry I meant zucky Facebook or the likes...

(have a look at how little or nothing there is at this time, again: at *this* time, at the time of my writing this, on namespace that is needed to apply in the Dovecot, to have proper Maildir++ for your mail and for your Mutt, how little or nothing about it yet, on the Mutt wiki!)...

It is up to the MUA whether it supports it or not. If the receiving MUA does not support it, it will not be displayed to the receiver. Mutt allows you to setup ttmacros/tt, various -hooks, and ttmy_hdr/tt to add the header to a message. I'm afraid I really don't understand this though. What are ttmacros/tt?

I don't know what the 0 means. Only the folders that are visible in the sidebar are in this list.

I've been watching this thread for a while and thinking Good grief, give me a break. This is only my point of view. 1. RTFM is rude. It is usually written by people who seem to feel the need to show that they know more than someone else. 2. Having to put up with people who ask basic questions is a lame complaint. News: It isn't a burden to hit the delete or simply ignore a post. Self-righteous claims of pedagogical concern that the person asking the question will not really learn anything if you simply give them the answer ring hollow to me. A good teacher never says Read the Fing book, kid. 3. The idea of having a seperate moderated list for basic questions vesus advanced questions strikes me as a huge confusing waste of time. The same people who get so upset that they have to reply RTFM will get upset and whine about questions being posted to the wrong list. If you don't want to answer something, don't answer it. Replying RTFM does nothing except make you look like a jerk. -- John

Shift key in a macro
Hi Guys, I can't seem to find how to bind a macro with the shift key. I see that \Cb will bind the macro to Ctrl+b, but can you bind a macro to Shift+B? -- John
Re: Long urls - update
Hi Guys, I guess I'm the slow one on the list. Is there more to the patch than commenting out # $command =~ s/%s/'$url'/g; and replacing it with $command=~s//\\/g Because either way, extract_url.pl isn't working for me. I can see the list of urls, but if I click on one I still get a page not found error. Another odd thing is that if I press c for context I sometimes get the full url displayed in a little box, like it should, but I often see the text that is near the link in the email, in the little box. I've tried changing the view, but that doesn't seem to have much effect. I've fallen back to using urlscan which seems to work albeit not very elegantly.

I made a quick fix by substituting $command=~s//\\/g before running command. Line 633? 634? So: # $command =~ s/%s/'$url'/g; $command=~s//\\/g; I'm a perl guy, yet that's non-trivial here. Thx. :-) Are you sure that will work? You've just commented out a line of code. (Just wondering what your patch would look like.)

Long urls
I am using Mutt-patched from the Ubuntu repository (Yes, I am one of the unwashed.) Anyway, it works really well except that if a url extends to multiple lines, Mutt can't figure it out and clicking leads to a page not found error. I tried copying the url, but when I highlight the lines with the url I end up copying a bunch of other stuff that is not in the url (like part of the list of folders in the Mutt side panel, for example). Does anyone know a way to deal with long urls aside from opening up Thunderbird? Thanks for any advice, I really appreciate it. John
Long urls - update
Thank you all for the tips. Actually all I did was install urlview from the repository and then when I clicked ctrl+B I got a list of ur$ I'll see how it works with urls that extend onto multiple lines the next time one comes by. John
Re: Long urls - update
This looks really great, but where do I put the script? I made it exicutable and put it in my path and I got the error that it wasn't there. I coped it to ~/ and got the same error. John http://www.memoryhole.net/~kyle/extract_url/ Try this. It's brilliant.
