Re: [mutt-users] Form Letters
I use a bunch of form letters for work, and invitations, and stuff. I just store them as dot-files. in my home directory, and using vim as my editor just read them in with :r .file. it's not really a whole lot of work, and keeps it easy to choose which letter i want. It's not really a mutt solution, but I had never really thought of using mutt itself to do it. -Tim Kennedy On Thu, 23 May 2002, Ricardo SIGNES wrote: Does anyone have a good method for writing form letters with mutt? Ideally, I'd like to have a folder that acts like drafts, but doesn't store To information and doesn't delete messages once they're sent. Maybe the best thing is to make a keybinding that changes the value of $postponed and some other variables temporarily. Does anyone have a pre-packaged solution for this? -- rjbs msg28299/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Since folks mentioned 3 or 4 different ways of doing this, i thought i'd show you how I do it. send-hook . my_hdr Fcc: +.sent_`date +%Y_%B` this creates an outgoing mail box like INBOX.sent_2002_april Makes it handy for searching for things, if I remember roughly when they occured.

You can write the 'N'ew flag back to your mailbox? Hi, David. I just tested, and I can indeed write back the new flag to my mailbox. Both on a Cyrus IMAP server, and on an Exchange server. With my keybindings, Shift-N will reset the new flag, and it persists across sessions, and changes are visible in other clients if I refresh their view. Cheers, -Tim

Re: How do you search to: header?
Jen, have you tried using / with ~t? / ~t [EMAIL PROTECTED] should key on mail 'To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. -tim On Tue, 02 Apr 2002, jennyw wrote: I was just wondering how I would search for someone I sent a message to.

Re: reverse_name question
Firstly, Thank you to everyone who pointed me at the options I needed to play with to get reverse_name working properly. For the record, the following options are the ones that affect the way that the reverse_name option functions. (minus 'my_hdr From') set realname = Tim Kennedy set from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] set reverse_name = yes set reverse_realname = yes set alternates = [EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED] Several of you confirmed that I was on the right track, and to play with the alternates setting. This led me to check various published .muttrc files and look for different syntax formats than mine. I found the following to work: set alternates = (abuse|webmaster|sugarat)@(mydomain.com|otherdomain.com) Once I had this in place, maintaining my other settings, everything works flawlessly. As I said in my original post It always seems to be something simple. Thank you, again. -Tim Kennedy -- He's God. He's flighty.

reverse_name question
Sorry if this has been asked a lot. I've been looking through the 'net, and various archives of various messages, for an answer to how I can get mutt to reply to emails using the To address, as the From address. my local account name is sugarat. but I also get mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. When people send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I want to automatically use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my From address in any replies. Sources, including the Mutt FAQ(s), the Mutt Manual, and a couple of old postings have led me to understand that this feature is controlled by using the setting reverse_name. Also, I understand that reverse_realname and alternates and from settings also play a part. My understanding was that reverse_name could override the setting of from, but that my_hdr From would override reverse_name. I'm using Mutt 1.3.28i, configured with '--enable-imap --enable-pop --enable-locales-fix --with-regex --with-included-gettext --enable-buffy-size' and have reduced my muttrc file to the following: -- set realname = Tim Kennedy set from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] set reverse_name = yes set reverse_realname = yes set hidden_host = yes set alternates = [EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED] set wait_key = no set spoolfile = imap://mail.mydomain.com:143/INBOX set sort = threads set sort_aux = date-received set editor = vim set abort_nosubject = ask-no set reply_self = yes set mbox = imap://mail.mydomain.com:143/INBOX set folder = imap://mail.mydomain.com:143/INBOX set edit_headers = yes set alias_file = ~/.mutt/aliases set imap_home_namespace = imap://mail.mydomain.com:143 -- From everything I've read, this should suit my purposes. I've made sure that the system Muttrc file is not changing any of these, even though it's read in first. I still am not getting the behavior that I expect. It always sends from the defined from, [EMAIL PROTECTED]. If I unset the from, then it sends from the local account, and uses the real name from the gecos field of /etc/passwd. Usually, when I have a problem like this, it's because I'm missing something simple. In this case, I have no idea what I'm missing. I've tried other expansions in setting my_hdr From using ~f and ~t and such, but that doesn't work either. I've also tried this with mutt-1.2.5i, with the same options, but no luck there, either. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thank you for your time, -Tim Kennedy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
