Perhaps you are refering to the mailboxes command, which i have already given. it is something like, mailboxes ! ankit mulder Yes, I believe that's what he meant. whai i want to know is whether there is a way to find the number of unread messages in a folder when i am in another folder, or when i start mutt with the -y option, or if I do a c? No. The reason is that it is very time-consuming to obtain and keep up-to-date that information for large mbox folders. You should see an N indicator by folders containing new mail, though.

I had the same question, but you`ve given me the hint... You can specify %N somewhere within set folder_format=... . That should do it, but it's the default anyway. You will see a N where you put it, if a mailbox has new mail. But I have another question. I don't like having to press ? everytime I change a folder to see the list. Is there a way to make this automated? André.

Re: Newbie question - Problems reading image files
On Thu, 1 Feb 2001, Steve Fielding wrote: Hey Everyone, I switched to Mutt the other day as my main MUA and so far, my experience with Mutt has been a good one except for one thing: All of the image files I have sent to myself as attachments keep coming back as text files filled as gibberish (fortunately, I haven't gotten any legit image files)! Rather than open the files, XV will send back an error message stating "Can't open display." Does this lynx may be setting $DISPLAY, which has to be set for xv to run. (you should set it in your environment anyway). have to do with the base encoding or is it perhaps an error in my config files (i.e. /etc/mailcap, .muttrc, mime.types)? I have done much tinkering with the /etc/mailcap file, but to no avail. What's strange is that I have no problems at all viewing gifs and jpg/jpeg files with XV through Lynx, but the problem seems to be only affecting Mutt. Right now, I'm using Mutt 0.9.3 and have even upgraded to 1.0.3, but the problem persists. I have also sent image files to myself from both this web account and from my ISP account via Mutt.

Re: Newbie Question: Can't find mime.types file
John said, The Mutt manual notes that a sample mime.types file is included with the Mutt distriburtion, but I cannot find it. (Red Hat 6.1). I find a Pine sample mime.types file, one for Apache in /etc, but none for Mutt. Any suggestions on where else to look? Thanks. John I have Red Hat 6.1 and some sample mime.types files for mutt. I rebuilt mutt to include PGP/GnuPG and so installed via source rpms. The mutt-produced files I see are in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mutt-1.0pre2-us/mime.types /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mutt-1.0pre3/mime.types /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/mutt-1.0pre2-us/mime.types /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/mutt-1.0pre3/mime.types From the output of rpm -ql mutt (list files installed by a package) I would guess they are in the source rpm but not put anywhere by the binary rpm. Hmm. Is this what's supposed to occur? Putting mime.types into /usr/doc along with the mailcap and muttrc samples might be a thought..? Or is there a reason it's not put there? If you aren't sure how to unpack a source rpm and get at the different files inside it, mail me, and I'll send directions. I did start by including it here, but my explanations can get a bit wordy...

I'm about to go out of town for a week and will give a go at unpacking the source rpms on my return. I may, in fact, take you up on your kind offer to assist :) As to why the sample mime.types is not in usr/doc with the the other sample configuration values.good question. I can not think of why they shouldn't be there. As far as RPMs are concerned, it would have to be because it wasn't included in the %files section.
