Re: addressbook and aliasfile
* Michelle Konzack [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070116 18:48]: What I need is a function to WRITE to the database instead to the ALIAS file. Use pipe-message. You need something like this: macro index,pager A pipe-messageabook --add-emailreturn add the sender address to abook So you'll probably also want to write some script that filters your e-mail and executes the right commands and information to add your alias to the database.

Re: ~/Mailbox oddness?
* J. Scott Dorr [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020313 22:36]: Everything works just fine, -except- when it comes to the main/default mailbox (~/Mailbox). If I'm sitting in one of the other mailboxes, I will get a notification when mail comes into ~/Mailbox, but (I believe) if mail comes into one of the other mailboxes before I get to ~/Mailbox, then the 'c' command won't offer up ~/Mailbox as a default option (ie. when hitting 'c', you will be offered the 'next' mailbox that has new mail waiting in it as a default to change to -- ~/Mailbox is not offered, even if I've already 'c'hanged to all the other mailboxes, read/marked/etc the new mail and -know- there's new mail in the ~/Mailbox). That bugs me. Do you have some 'buffy' kind of program that checks ~/Mailbox? mdb -- Wie niet gelooft in wonderen die is geen realist -- Herman Finkers

Re: Garbled charsets
* Johan Almqvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020305 16:49]: Until yesterday, I used mutt installed from RedHat's RPM (1.2.5). I have now switched to mutt-1.3.27i-1.1.rhl6 (linked from www.mutt.org) and have discovered that my outgoing messages have garbled charsets (and umlaut letters are displayed as question marks in incoming messages). I use the nl_NL@euro locale, but you can use whichever one you want. Don't forget to generate them. On Debian that is adding your locale to /etc/locale.gen e.g. | # This file lists locales that you wish to have built. You can find a list | # of valid supported locales at /usr/share/doc/locales/SUPPORTED.gz. Other | # combinations are possible, but may not be well tested. If you change | # this file, you need to rerun locale-gen. | | en_US ISO-8859-1 | nl_NL ISO-8859-1 | nl_NL@euro ISO-8859-15 and then running locale-gen. When you did that you can set the charset in your muttrc to the proper locale in my case: | set charset=iso-8859-15 I've also set the following to environment variables, from my .bash_profile: | export LC_CTYPE=nl_NL@euro | export LANG=C When all this shouldn't work, I remember that it sometimes helps (?) to compile mutt with --without-wc-funcs, but I don't know why this should work and it maybe a Bad thing to do.

Re: errors while compiling mutt-1.3.27

Re: macros or hook?
* Nick Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020124 19:15]: I want to use a different $editor var whenever I either *reply* to or *compose* a message. Reason being a different cursor starting point for each one (on the attribution for replying and on the top line for composing). I'm not sure how to do it, I looked at hooks but didn't see one that seemed to fit? Can't you bind a macro to the key that you press when replying and when composing a message? mdb -- You have the capacity to learn from mistakes. You'll learn a lot today.

Re: macros or hook?
* Nick Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020124 21:17]: bind index r noop bind index m noop What's a noop? noop means as much as 'do nothing' (no operation or something i guess), i thought that the macros wouldn't work if i didn't do this, but maybe they do. i don't know for sure. macro index m :set editor=\vim -c ':0;/Subject'\\\nmail macro index r :set editor=\vim -c ':0;/^$'\\\nreply Hmmm Yeah, I getcha. How does mutt know how to reply/compose as well though? Is that them noop buggers? i don't get your question, do you mean how mutt knows when to reply or compose? that's in the 'm'ail and 'r'eply keys i use. mdb -- You have the capacity to learn from mistakes.

Re: macros or hook?

So how might it look with this line: set editor=vim +'/^$/' -c ':set textwidth=72' like this? set editor=vim +'/^$/' -c ':set textwidth=72'mail Almost. You can only use the mail 'thingie' in a macro definition, $editor is just the editor variable. mdb -- You have the capacity to learn from mistakes. You'll learn a lot today.

You can only use the mail 'thingie' in a macro definition, $editor is just the editor variable. Thanks Maarten, got it now. One last thing: I wrote 4 macros (r,g,L,m) for the index and then wrote then *again* for the pager. Could I have done that more efficiently?

Re: how to change xterm title depending on current mailbox
* Will Yardley [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020122 19:05]: since the first bit presumably is doing some sanity checking as well, it MIGHT work to take out the 'else if' line entirely, but i don't really know. /* Make sure that the terminal can take the control codes */ if (ep == NULL) unset_option (MuttVars[idx].data); else if (mutt_strcasecmp (ep, xterm) != 0) unset_option (MuttVars[idx].data); That did it for me (using wterm and $TERM set to 'rxvt') mdb -- You have the capacity to learn from mistakes.
