Re: alias
Hi Luis, On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 10:15:28PM -0500, Luis Mochan wrote: Dear Leo, Maybe I don't know enough about tmux (nor screen). How do you get to the mail server/mutt program? Through a ssh session? How do you visualize attachments? Do you use the -X option of ssh? Does tmux offer a tools for connecting to the server? I don't bother with using X anymore. I so rarely get attachments at this account it's not worth the effort. Instead, I just save the files on the server and retrieve them with scp or, if it's a picture, look at it on my phone. Leo

Thus, I have configuration files at my desktop and at my laptop. However, there are parts of the configuration which should be identical, such as my list of alias and a few macros. Having several copies yields occasional inconsistencies. Is there a reasonable way to keep some configuration files at my office and source them remotely from my laptop when I start mutt? Similarly, I would like to be able to update the files at my office when I define a new alias at my laptop. An alternative would be to use a revision control system to update and synchronize the relevant files among my computers, but I wonder if there is a simpler solution. I have my mail and mutt on a server and remotely access it so there is only one place for configuration files and I open a tmux session, similar to screen, and remotely access that tmux session from where-ever. I even read my mail on site from another computer. This is what I do, too but if Luis prefers not to work that way, one easy way to maintain a single, authoritative configuration on all systems is to use Dropbox, box.net or one of their competitors. I know that Dropbox provides the versioning he wants and I expect the competitor products do as well. Regards, Leo

Re: Gmail - add mailing lists to different mailboxes
Hi, On Sat, Oct 22, 2011 at 06:03:08PM +0300, Onoie Andrei wrote: Hi there. I am using Gmail with IMAP connection. Is it possible to add mails that are from a specific mailing list to a different mailbox ? I would like to go to a mailbox say, mutt-users and see all the mails I got from there. I think you want to have messages sent to a mailing list filtered into a specific folder automatically and bypass the inbox. You can do this by creating a rule that adds a label to the messages and then archives them without marking them as read. Then, you just look in the relevant IMAP folder with mutt. HTH, Leo

Terminal.app and iTerm.app are just a means for running your preferred shell that you would otherwise use to launch Mutt. I would be looking for (initially) something that I could peruse to see if there were any issues that would differ with linux and if there were any features that might be attractive. I think Ravi is right. I have used Mutt on Mac OS for a few years, as well as using it on Linux, FreeBSD and BSDi before that. In my experience it works the same on whichever OS you choose as long as you build in all the bits and pieces you need. For the latter issue, you might want to look at the different package management systems available for Mac OS, including Fink and MacPorts, to find out which versions they have available. I believe there is another package system called Homebrew but I don't know anything about it. HTH, Leo

As I'm used to VIM buffers and tabs, wouldn't be great tu have such features in Mutt?. For example, while reading a mail save the screen in a buffer, then go to another mail or folder, then go back to the stored buffer without traversing again the folders. Or, open a folder in different tabs. What is the advantage of having this built in to Mutt, instead of using screen or multiple tabs in your terminal application? Leo

Re: Header line length limit?
Hi Todd, On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 05:18:24PM -0600, Todd Hesla wrote: David, Thanks for your reply. I guess this would work, in principle. However, I think it would involve quite a bit of keyboarding/mousing to massage the original long comma-separated list of addresses into multiple Bcc headers. Is there, perhaps, a build parameter that can be reset to increase the 5000 character limit, so I can just paste the long list into a single Bcc header (without anything getting stripped off)? You should be prepared for mail servers to reject a message with 300 recipients in Bcc. The minimum required in the standard is 100 and servers are entitled to reject when more are specified: 4.5.3.1.8. Recipients Buffer The minimum total number of recipients that MUST be buffered is 100 recipients. Rejection of messages (for excessive recipients) with fewer than 100 RCPT commands is a violation of this specification. The general principle that relaying SMTP server MUST NOT, and delivery SMTP servers SHOULD NOT, perform validation tests on message header fields suggests that messages SHOULD NOT be rejected based on the total number of recipients shown in header fields. A server that imposes a limit on the number of recipients MUST behave in an orderly fashion, such as rejecting additional addresses over its limit rather than silently discarding addresses previously accepted. A client that needs to deliver a message containing over 100 RCPT commands SHOULD be prepared to transmit in 100-recipient chunks if the server declines to accept more than 100 recipients in a single message. --RFC 5321 For this reason, setting up a mailing list using Mailman, majordomo or whatever you prefer might be a more reliable way of sending a message to 300 recipients.

Perhaps the thing to do is to always archive mail to an archive folder based on arrival date and have a shell script rename the folder to something like archive-2010 at 00:00:01 on 1 January every year using something in cron?
