Re: BUG/RFI: scope of 'send-hook' too large ...
* Malcolm Herbert ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [020702 03:11]: Not sure if my list subscription has gone through yet (I haven't seen any confirmation so it might not have) but you might want to know about this anyway ... Is there any way to limit the scope of the changes made with the -hook commands? For instance, I have several mailing lists for which I use a different address to post from, so I use something like send-hook blah 'my_hdr From: Malcolm Herbert [EMAIL PROTECTED]' to set my From: header appropriately. Unfortunately if I send to these lists my From: header remains changed, for the life of the session. Right. Others have already pointed out the correct way of doing things (using a default hook). I think it's worth pointing out that the hooks do not introduce any sort of temporary environment -- that is, whatever command they execute, it's exactly the same as if you had just executed that same command manually. They just do it automatically when they match a certain pattern. They never remember an old setting and set it back when they're finished -- they have no concept of that. They only are matched at certain times: folder-hook when you enter a folder, send-hook after getting a recipient list, message-hook before formatting a message, etc. There are no hooks for leaving a folder, leaving the compose menu, or leaving the pager. You just use the default hook to set a sane value next time you enter one of those areas. Is there any way to limit the scope of the send-hook change to just the message being composed, then either reverse the change, or have it revert automatically? In the time between when this message is sent and the next message is started, it doesn't matter what the From: header says. So setting the default hook is fine: next time the send-hook is applied, it'll be set back. It can be seen as lazy, but it works. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. -E.W.

(wish) urlview w/ context?
Hello, I tried googling for this without success. I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to get urlview to show some context along with the URLs it presents. For example, some newsletters come littered with URLs, and especially when they reference mailing list archives, they get hard to deal with. For example, something like: 21 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0204/msg02136.html 22 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0204/msg02366.html 23 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0204/msg02186.html 24 http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0204/msg00072.html Means that I have to remember which number I'm looking for before I enter urlview, and also that I need to exit urlview and go back and look at the message to figure out what the other links are for before I pick the next one to follow. I wish urlview had a mode in which it would display its entire input on the output, with selectable URLs, instead of just the list of selectable URLs. Better still would be another option that would work like grep's -C (or 3 options, and follow the example of grep's -A and -B as well). (I'm talking about GNU grep, in case the context options aren't the same on all greps.) I just wanted to know if anybody knows workarounds that provide this functionality. I guess one is use gnome-terminal instead of xterm, but I'm looking for other ideas. If the only response I get is sounds good; let us know when the patch is ready!

Re: Transition from Pine to Mutt
* Gour ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [020430 09:21]: Recently I noticed that my present sendmail+Pine configuration has some problems - some emails are not reaching its destination, and my guess is that it's because the emails are rejected by some spam blockers since my Sender: header points on my localhost account and is different than From: Reply-to: headers. Is it the job of Postfix or Mutt can also put Sender: header? Your MTA adds the Sender: header when the From address being is specified. The idea is that if it's not specified by the user, the MTA will fill in the From info with the sender. If the sender specifies the From info, the MTA puts a Sender: header to let everyone know that the From data may be forged. The MTA should have an option of which users should be allowed to specify their own From data without having to be outed by a Sender: header. In Exim, this is the trusted_users option; I have no idea how to do this with sendmail. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume.shtml msg27788/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

It would be so much easier for everyone if check-traditional-= pgp % would become a variable (set always-check-traditional-pgp=3Dyes), so % that every mail will be checked automatically on demand (instead of % handling 50% of all mail accesses via macros and doing some terrible % workarounds for the other 50%). Hmmm... =20 With this I mean, you can - press enter in the index - press down, up, pgup, pgdown in the pager - press space at the end of a message - delete (in various ways) a mail - jump to a mail - ... to view a mail. Do you really want do set a macro for each of these (and surely more!) keybindings? Not really, at least not me. So a message-hook seems to be the only senseful place to implement a check-traditional on demand. With macros it's only a nice workaround. IMHO. Sorry, I'm jumping into the thread late, so I may end up looking like an ignorant ass, but I'll take my chances anyway and offer you another workaround. (I think) one issue of mutt detecting the old-style messages is looking through the body of each message to see if it fits a certain pattern, which is seen (understandably so) as something expensive that mutt shouldn't be doing anyway. The workaround I propose, for you and anyone else in your boat, is to set your pager to something (a small perl script) that can recognize old-style pgp messages and pipe those to gpg for processing, then display the message via a real pager (i.e. less or some such). That's *kinda* like a user-space message-hook, except it happens for each message instead of only ones that match a certain pattern. You might be able to fenagle it to working with a message-hook by setting pager selectively or some other dirty hacks, but I'd say to try to get it working everywhere first before optimizing it so. I'll help you with the script if you need it; I think it should be as simple as taking the patterns from the ubiquitous procmail example and putting them in a 5-line perl script. good times, Vineet --=20 Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/ --=20 Satan laughs when we kill each other.

Any hints? Well, it won't help the bash-users out there, but anyone willing to give zsh a try will benefit from this excerpt from the Process substitution of the zshexpn manpage: Both the /dev/fd and the named pipe implementation have drawbacks. In the former case, some programmes may automatically close the file descriptor in question before examining the file on the command line, particularly if this is necessary for security reasons such as when the pro gramme is running setuid. In the second case, if the programme does not actually open the file, the subshell attempting to read from or write to the pipe will (in a typical implementa tion, different operating systems may have different behaviour) block for ever and have to be killed explicitly. In both cases, the shell actually supplies the information using a pipe, so that programmes that expect to lseek (see lseek(2)) on the file will not work. ... If = is used, then the file passed as an argument will be the name of a temporary file contain ing the output of the list process. This may be used instead of the form for a program that expects to lseek (see lseek(2)) on the input file. So this works for me: mutt -f =(mboxgrep -mmaildir '^From:.*callahan@homicide\.SFPD\.gov' $MAIL) mboxgrep even adds the wicked ^From_ lines! Really, though, zsh effectively does the same thing as what grepm does, with the temp file.

Or a keypress that I can use to spamcheck the entire mailbox I have open. I think your best bet is to check them at delivery time via your MDA (maildrop, procmail, etc.) Have it add a header indicating its results, and have mutt perform checks based on the presence or contents of this header.

Re: Signature selection

I have a few different signatures, if I am sending to a Dutch address I use a Dutch one, otherwise an English one. But for certain people (like my son) I try to use a less formal one. The relevant rules look as follows: send-hook . 'set signature=~/Mutt/.signature' send-hook simono@zonnet\.nl 'set signature=~/Mutt/.signature.simon' send-hook \.nl 'set signature=~/Mutt/.signature.nl' Now it is my understanding that the first hook that matches should be the one used. So if I send to simono, it should use the signature for that. However simono's address has .nl in it's domain part and mutt always uses this signature instead of the one for simono. Well, I suppose that you're missing that simono's address also matches ., no? So, clearly, it can't be just using the first one that matches. It would seem that it's using the last one that matches (which is why everyone's .muttrc has the . send-hook listed _first_). Try reordering them to this: send-hook . 'set signature=~/Mutt/.signature' send-hook \.nl 'set signature=~/Mutt/.signature.nl' send-hook simono@zonnet\.nl 'set signature=~/Mutt/.signature.simon' And see if that helps.

How about this?
auto_view text/rot-13
macro index \Ca
edit-typekill-linetext/rot-13enterdisplay-messageedit-typekill-linetext/plainenter
Display message with ROT-13 encoding
To use it with PGP (well, PGP/MIME, anyway) or other mime multipart
messages, try this version instead:
macro attach \Ca
edit-typekill-linetext/x-rot13enterview-attachedit-typekill-linetext/plainenter
Display message with ROT-13 encoding
Also, these don't work so well with the builtin pager, because the
display-message or view-attach commands return immediately in that case.
For the internal pager, you may be better off with something like these
2 macros together:
macro pager \Ca edit-typekill-linetext/x-rot13enter Display message with
ROT-13 encoding
macro pager \CA edit-typekill-linetext/plainenter Revert message from ROT-13
back to text/plain
Does anyone have a better idea of how to make one macro that toggles? Is
there a way to make a named macro? Then you could do something like
this:
function1() {
push edit-typekill-linetext/x-rot13enter
macro pager \Ca function2
}
function2() {
push edit-typekill-linetext/plainenter
macro pager \Ca function1
}
I guess you could effect it with push:(untested)
macro pager \Cb 'edit-typekill-linetext/x-rot13entermacro \Ca push \CB'
macro pager \CB 'edit-typekill-linetext/plainentermacro \Ca push \Cb'
macro pager \Ca 'push \Cb'
but you 'lose' a couple of keys that way. I suppose you could make them
some inconvenient keybinding that you'd never use anyway, and then you'd
be all right.
all of these 'toggle' methods also break horribly if you rot13 a message
and then don't change it back before you go off and view other messages.
Well, maybe not horribly; you'll just have to hit \Ca a couple of times
until it straightens itself out.

Re: Authenticating public keys...
* Jean-Sebastien Morisset ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010917 13:15]: I'm really enjoying GnuPG, especially the auto-fetch feature for unknown keys (which never worked for me in PGP). As I accumulate public keys, I'd like to lsign the keys (--lsign-key cmdarg) to remove that little warning. Unfortunately, there's no good way to authenticate the key. What do you guys do? Put up with the warning? Sign the key even if you're not sure? Use the X-PGP-Fingerprint header as a second validation? Use fingerprints in signatures? Well, your signature on a key is your certification that this key actually belongs to this person. Don't go and sign a key unless you're willing to make that statement; it defeats the whole purpose! For similar reasons, an email header or a .signature provides *NO* added information that this key is being used legitimately; if I made a bogus key that said Jean-Sebastien Morisset I could send mail to the list with a signature that other people would see came from YOU. What's to stop me (as a malicious forger) from also inserting the key's fingerprint in the mail? Therefore, seeing a fingerpring in a header or signature adds no trust that the key being used is valid. Worse yet, what if I was able to intercept your email via a man-in-the-middle attack? I could strip out your signature and your fingerprint, and insert my own. If people took it at face value yeah, that looks like a js post; there's his signature, there's his fingerprint and decided to trust that key, this would be bad, bad news for you. What if someone then wanted to send an encrypted message to you? They do so using the public key I referenced in the email I'd been altering, and now I can see the encrypted message. Not very secure, is it? The system is only as trustworthy as far as its keys can be trusted. If you don't like seeing a warning that you can't trust this key, you have a few options: 1. validate the key yourself. Find the person whose key it is and verify it with them by asking to see their passport and checking that their fingerprint is the same as the fingerprint on your keyring. Then sign their key. 2. Don't verify signatures made with untrusted keys. Tell mutt not to automatically verify signatures, and just do it manually when you get an email from someone whose key you trust. 3. Take the warning for what it means: This is a good signature with this key, but there is no indication that this key belongs to the person it claims to belong to. We should have a little poll. :-) The first option would be best for the web of trust, but personally I'm using #3. -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M' PGP signature

Re: Mail-Followup-To ...
* Matthias LOITSCH ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010912 14:41]: i just did not understand the mail-follow-up function... and i dont see the connection with the 'subscribe ...' command. what is the difference between : 'subscribe ...' and 'lists ...' ?? Mail-Followup-To is a header that helps it so that people subscribed to mailing lists and people not subscribed to mailing lists can get appropriate replies sent to appropriate places. Here's the way it works, in the form of a couple of user examples: I'm subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I post a message there. Since I've told mutt 'subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED]' it knows that I'm subscribed to that list and generates the following header: Mail-Followup-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This makes it so that people with compatible mailers can jsut hit reply and the right thing will happen: the reply goes to the list. Since I'm subscribed, I don't need to be CC'ed -- that would result in a duplicate email. Now another case: I'm not subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I want to ask a question there. I post a message, and since I've told mutt 'lists [EMAIL PROTECTED]' it knows that this is a list to which I am not subscribed. It generates the following header: Mail-Followup-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] So that when people with compatible mailers hit reply, their mailer CCs me and I get a copy in addition to the one sent to the list. Third case (less interesting). I send a message to my friend bob, whose address is listed in neither the 'lists' statment nor the 'subscribe' statement. Mutt generates no extra header; the message is sent as-is, without a Mail-Followup-To header.

I normally archive all the messages I get. To do so for this list, I'd tag all the messages in the current folder (which only contains messages from this list), clear the old flag of all the messages and save all the messages in =Old/ML-MUTT.bz2. The current folder is named ML-MUTT. What I can't seem to figure out, is how I can get the name of the current folder.

Is this really impossible to do? You could hack it by setting the value of record or mbox based on folder-hook and then referencing that value in your macro. Be careful that you don't need the value before you clobber it with this hack, though (i.e. use mbox if you're not using move, or record if you're not using copy). It would basically look like this: # THIS IS A DIRTY, DIRTY HACK. PROCEED WITH CAUTION set copy=no folder-hook mutt-user 'set record==Old/mutt-user' macro index \Co tag-pattern.entertag-prefixclear-flagotag-prefixsave-message.bz2enter I also don't know about how the '' might need to be quoted in the macro statement.

Re: colors with wrapped quotes
* David T-G ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010808 09:47]:
the question, right? :-) If I get annoyed I just 'e'dit the message,
'J'oin up the line(s) in vim, save it, and then read it again, but
the same thing (probably dropping even more to the next line thanks to
the additional indentation of two sets of quotes) will happen when the
message turns around again.
I could imagine a vim macro that would look for a line starting with
a few (well, mebbe one is valid) indent_string chars, another line
(maybe shorter than length X) without any, and another line with the
same number of indent_string chars and would then go back to the upper
line and join up the bare one...
What works really well in vim is to 'J'oin the lines, and then '{gq}'
them. Vim is smart about wrapping when all lines have the same
indent on them, so if you join them, set textwidth to an appropriate
value, and then re-wrap them, it will be well prepared for the next
iteration.
A macro might be able to just tell which lines need to be joined by
looking for lines without the and executing kJ, then once it was
done '1G','/^$','gqG' (to re-wrap just the body). An example this simple
would surely fail with multiple levels of indentation in a message,
though.

Re: spoolfile and procmail
* Dumas Patrice ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010803 10:57]: Hi, Maybe you will find this question a bit stupid, but I have a conceptual problem. My setting is fetchmail-procmail-mail folders. Then I use mutt to read the mail folders. Is there a need for a spool folder in this setting ? Am I doing something not regular ? Sure I can live without the answer to my question but I would like to know if there is a standard setting which is not an embedded pop-client nor a delivery in /var/spool/... Pat I'm not sure whether you're asking whether your system needs a file /var/spool/mail/user or if mutt needs a valid $spoolfile setting. Let me just babble on a bit and maybe your question will become more clear, and maybe I'll hit the answer. procmail has a setting for DEFAULT, meaning where a message is delivered if it falls through the rest of the .procmailrc. Unless you've changed it, it's value is $ORGMAIL, which defaults to /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME. By the sound of your question, it seems you divert all your mail away from there at some point in time. Either way, mutt likes to know about $spoolfile, whose default setting is in the environment variable $MAIL. Probably, your system sets that to /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME. mutt treats $spoolfile a little differently than any other folders: it will never be removed even if empty and save_empty is set, and it can be addressed by the shortcut !. Apart from that, if you don't use it, it doesn't really matter. My guess is that you have a procmail default-ish recipe where most of your mail goes. You might want to set the $MAIL environment variable to that mailbox so that your shell will alert you when you get new mail, and mutt will address that mailbox as $spoolfile. Even still, I'd say removing /var/spool/mail/username is a Bad Idea unless the system-wide default delivery is something else. If I haven't answered your question, maybe you could try putting it a little more precisely. Vineet PGP signature
