Hello Chris, Does the terminal use a font for utf8-encoding? You can test it like this: put a pound sign into a file and be sure, that this file is utf-8 encoded. Then try cat file in the terminal. To get the right font in my xterm, I have the following line in my .Xdefaults: xterm*font: -adobe-courier-bold-r-*--20-*-iso10646-1 Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

I use xclip way for this as mentioned earlier in this thread (there is also 'matcher' extension for urxvt-unicode which lets you click links with middle mouse button) urlview is not ok for me, since I want to keep the context around the URLs. I would like to select a URL for example with the TAB-key, and some other key-press would start firefox url. This got me thinking about this: 1. pipe message through display_filter extracting and numbering links 2. in the extracting step create macros for internal pager which would correspond with numbered links 3. source those macros 4. pressing numbers in pager starts the browser for the link (Not exactly TAB, but good enough I guess) What you guys think? Hello Robert, I think, that this is a good idea, because no more mouse is needed. But I don't know, how you would create the macros by the filter. Perhaps a very little patch will suffice to get the ergonomic pine-behaviour, since mutt can already detect URLs very easily: color body magenta yellow (http|https|ftp|news)://[^ \\t\r\n]* Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

What my_list_folders does? Hello Vladimir, Usage: source alias-hooks.php $alias_file| folder-hook . 'special settings' folder-hook $my_list_folders 'other special settings' Over time I developed my approach to subscribing lists. I wanted - to be 'subscribe'd to the list Ok. - everything to be stored in .muttrc, no external files In my case, aliases (also for lists) are in a separate file. - pressing 'm' for new mail automatically offers list address Seems useful, I'll add this to my script too. Thanks! - pressing 'r' for reply is redefined to list-reply - sorting is threads Ok (it's in 'other special settings'). I don't set up 'mailboxes' automatically, since I want to set the order in which they are reported to have new mail according to my taste. With my script, the order is just the same as in the alias-file. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

The only thing I ever use it for is as -k : in various mutt hooks. Here's the diff -c from the 0.5.2 version of main.c to my modified version, if you're interested. Thanks for your patch, Gary! Have you already sent it to the developers of w3m? Finally, after trying w3m as the pager for 2 days, I don't want to do without the internal pager of mutt (much more ergonomic, for example for jumping from message to message). So the first step for me will be the xclip-mouse-solution and later, when I have some more time, I'll try to patch mutt to get the desired pine-behaviour. You may also want to set Treat URL-like strings as links in all pages to Yes under Miscellaneous Settings in w3m's Option Setting Panel. Otherwise, w3m searches only the currently displayed page for such strings. Indeed, I've done exactly this. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Indeed, w3m seems to be better that I thought in the beginning. But I'm a bit difficult (I've been using pine for about 10 years): - it would be nice, if MARK_URL was called automatically at start-up - keymap RET EXTERN_LINK does not work, I have to use another key (RETURN and ENTER do not work neither) - it's not the built-in pager, so I cannot take advantage of all the mutt features But shouldn't it be easy to implement, since the built-in pager can already highlight URLs?

On Mon, Feb 18 2008, Cameron Simpson wrote: In FVWM I have Alt-H bound to run a script with the URL, eg: firefox `xclip -o` Hello Cameron, Nice idea! And I think, that I can even make the key-binding dependent on the window-title in fvwm. I only need to install xclip. It's still not the very ergonomic pine-like behaviour, but I'll give it a try. Here are the problems that I have with the other methods: - urlview make a list with url and the context is lost, furthermore urls are corrupted: item=123 gets item=3D123 - w3m and lynx seem to need real html, so I need to embed every url in a a/a tag with a filter, besides they are external pagers so the nice coloring of quoted text gets lost Does it make sense to fill in a feature request for cycling through urls in the message and firing up an external browser with the currently highlighted url?
