Re: Addressbook For Mutt
Is it possible to run two external programs to run with mutt. I am already running the "Shift Q" to query an external perl script which queries an Ldap ServerIs this possible... How do I bind another stroke key to query another external Program !!

Is there a way to integrate it closely with mutt, such as if I hit tab when addressing a mail, it would send me there and allow me to select and pull addresses back into mutt. Have a look at the query feature of mutt (chapter "4.5. External Address Queries" in the mutt manual). You should try something like set query_command="abook --mutt-query '%s'" Then you can use Ctrl-q (like TAB) to expand a query string to the addressbook entry. Alternatively you can use abook as a backend of lbdb (see lbdb documentation for more information about this). And if I hit 'a' to add an alias, it would add to abook, rather than my mutt alias file. Don't know, whether this is possible (never used abook myself), but it shouldn't be hard to write a little script which appends the address to ~/.abook.addressbook. Maybe this could be based on mail2muttalias (http://webrum.uni-mannheim.de/jura/moritz/mail2muttalias.shtml). Tscho Roland -- * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.spinnaker.de/ * ---end quoted text---

If you are only talking about Shift-Q (not Ctrl-T), it should be easy to define some macros, which change query_command and run query after this. Something like: macro index \eq ":set query_command=\"abook --mutt-query '%s'\"\nquery" macro index Q ":set query_command=\"ldap_query '%s'\"\nquery" (not tested!!!) So ESC q queries abook, while Shift-Q queries ldap. I personally suggest to use lbdb for situations like this, because lbdb is able to collect data from different sources by simply including special modules. The only problem with this is, that nobody wrote a LDAP module yet... Tscho Roland -- * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.spinnaker.de/ *

How do I bind another stroke key to query another external Program !!
Assuming you want to query both sources each time, I'd just use a
wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
for query_source in local ldap qi; do
mutt_query_${query_source} "$*"
done | sort | uniq
set query_command="query_wrapper '%s'"
or something like that. All untested, of course; I only use one
directory source.

I don't exactly know, what you expect an address book to do for you, but did you have a look at lbdb (http://www.spinnaker.de/lbdb/) or abook (http://www.linuxstart.com/~jheinonen/abook/)?

Pine addressbook to Mutt alias
Hi! I am looking for a skript, which converts pines addressbook to mutts alias-file. Do you have a hint? Ciao! juh -- Heute ist der 3. Oktober! Basta! http://www.sudelbuch.de/1999/19991109.html
