Re: Color messages in the index view dynamically
Thanks Ed.
In case someone else is interested in setting this up too, here is
where I am so far.
Having the messages in the maildir format on my side, I regularly
(upon new message arrival using Mutt's $new_mail_command, and also
once a day) scan the To-do folder with a script (here is a simplified
version; uses procmail and mblaze packages):
#!/bin/zsh
while IFS=$'\n' read -r mailfile; do
_due=$(formail -c -f -z -x 'Subject' < "${mailfile}" \
| grep --only-matching --max-count=1 --perl-regexp
--regexp="[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}" \
| tr --delete - \
)
if [[ -n $_due ]]; then
due=$(date -d "$_due" +%s)
now=$(date -d $(date +%Y-%m-%d) +%s)
if [[ $now -ge $due ]]; then
echo "$(formail -f -I 'X-TODO: OVERDUE' < ${mailfile} | cat )" >
"${mailfile}"
mflag -F "${mailfile}" > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
fi
done < <(find ~/Mail/To-do -type f -print)
It adds a custom header X-TODO, based on which I mark respective
messages with color:
color index white red "~h '^X-TODO: OVERDUE$'"
To propagate changes to the far side, along with adding the header,
which is never syncing, I also add a flag, which does sync. Anyway,
Gmail’s web interface does not support sorting by subject, so at least
I can spot the starred messages of interest there.
Best,

Re: Color messages in the index view dynamically
I can get you part of the way, but someone else will have to help with the last part (if it's possible at all). I have mutt set up to use a different index_format on a per-message basis, so that I can see more detailed time information for messages that are newer, and courser and courser as the message gets older. For example, ' 4:41pm' for a message less than a day old, up to '01/20/22' for a message over 30 days old. I do this by adding this line to .muttrc: set index_format="/home/edgewood/.mutt/bin/format_date '%[%s]' '%1<%s>' |" That sets the index_format for each individual message by running the format_date command and passing information from the message, in this case the datetime of the message in epoch seconds, and the current datetime in epoch seconds. The command then prints a different index command depending on the difference between them. (Note, it looks like http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#index-format-hook is the modern way to do this.) You could do this: set index_format="/path/to/format_subject '%s' |" That command would need to examine the passed subject, and print something different depending on what it was. But that's where I run out of ideas. I don't *think* you can embed ANSI color commands in the index format, and I don't know of a way to run shell commands in the pattern for color commands. Maybe this inspires someone else that can get you closer.

Color messages in the index view dynamically
Hi all, I have some messages with a subject line containing the "due:[here goes some date]" text. I want mutt to color these messages differently and dynamically (at every opening or refreshing the mailbox) according to whether the date in the subject is in the past or the future compared with the current date. Is it possible to accomplish? It would be nice to enchance the "todo.txt" approach with the "to-do mailbox" advantages :-) Best, -- Dmitry

While talking about colors, I'd like to suggest to have a look at the
solarized color schemes. Configs for those are available for many
programs (from terminal emulators up to e.g. heavy weight GUIs of IDEs).
Primarily, I use rxvt with a simple extension (perl) which switches
the color scheme of the console between solarized-{light,dark}. Thus,
not only mutt, but the entire console is using the same theme; in
particular also vim, while composing the mail.

* Jon LaBadie [2021-09-08 01:20:27 -0400]: I've always preferred a black letters on white background scheme. However, after cataract surgery I'm considering using a dark background scheme.

(703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C) Hi Jon, What about keeping mutt to default foreground and background colors, and switching the terminal color scheme instead? I have this set up, and it allows me to change the color scheme across any terminal programs I use. While white fg on black bg is my usual preference, black fg on white bg is more readable to me when I'm outside and there is more ambient glare on the display. I use the following mutt colors definitions: color normal default default color indicator default color7 color status default default color index bold default default ~N|~F|~T|~D mono index bold ~N|~F|~T|~D My terminal is a patched version of st (https://st.suckless.org), where I added Ctrl-Shift-x to flip between two color schemes: https://src.adamsgaard.dk/st/files.html git://src.adamsgaard.dk/st Color schemes (colorname and altcolorname arrays) and other options are set in config.h at compile time. Just my two cents! Cheers, Anders

I gave that a try, but no change. document.colors.background and document.colors.text don't seem to have any effect. document.colors.use_document_colors is set to 2 by default, and document.css.enable is set to 1 by default. The only visible change is when I change document.dump.color_mode to 0, which disables color and basically sets monochrome mode. document.colors.use_document_colors 0 and 1 have the same light gray text but no highlighting.

I realize my config has a lot of moving parts and non-default settings, but I still hope someone can shine a light on this.

The described setup, while coloring the index view, shows all text in monochrome, so I'm missing some information and need to open the message in firefox. elinks can handle color, so I added this setting to ~/elinks/elinks.conf set document.dump.color_mode = 4 The result is that when a html message is viewed, the headers continue to be shown normally - white background, black text - but the message text is now less readable with white background and light grey text. Any highlighted text is displayed in black with grey background (not matching background-color style from the html source, but I can lvie with that). The main problem is that the text is light grey, which is barely readable on white background. Any idea where I can tweak this?

According to the configure script it appears all you need for color is start_color() from ncurses which should be there in the base system. Can you provide 'mutt -v' output? Does it have +HAVE_COLOR? Are you building mutt from source or using ports/pkg?

I'm doing nothing special in ports/pkg or from source and colors just works with macOS Terminal/iTerm2, or cygwin xterm. Do you get color unknown command when you try to use 'color ...' in a .muttrc?
Getting color on FreeBSD
I'm a bit stuck trying to figure out why colors aren't working for me on FreeBSD (where I understand that termcap is used rather than terminfo). Things should be set correctly: $ echo $TERM xterm $ tput Co pa 8 64 I've also tried setting $TERM to xterm-256color $ echo $TERM xterm-256color $ tput Co pa 256 32767 Attempting to set the color in mutt with color status blue white works as expected on my Linux boxes but does nothing on my FreeBSD box. Colors work fine in vim and weechat. Likewise $ tput AF 4; echo hello ; tput me works, as does $ printf '\e[31mHello\e[0m' So the terminal is doing color as expected, but somehow mutt/neomutt doesn't seem to recognize that. Is there some trick that I've missed for getting mutt/neomutt to play well with termcap/FreeBSD? Thanks, -tim

Displaying HTML parts with color?
My current .mailcap file uses w3m to convert HTML parts to text for display:
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -dump %s -cols $COLUMNS; copiousoutput;
description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
I'd like to get some text highlighting, such as bold for the To:, From: and
other header field names, color for HTML links, etc. w3m does this when it
displays the page
interactively, but not when the -dump switch is used. Lynx likewise dumps only
the plainest of plain text.
I know mutt can colorize portions of text/plain messages, but is there any text
format that mutt would recognize as containing color, bold, underlining and
other text attributes?
If so, is there some tool that can generate that format from HTML?
Ideally, I'd like the display to look something like what you see in gnus or
MH-E. I would assume this is a frequently asked question, but I've been unable
to find an answer.
Thanks.

Color changed in mutt
I run mutt under gentoo, and recently upgraded a few packages, including mutt to 1.5.22-r1 from 1.5.21-r12. I use the sidebar. Now mutt shows an odd coloration. My color config is pretty simple: color attachment black white color body black white . color bold black white color error black white color header black white . color hdrdefault black white color index black white . color markers black white color message black white color normal black white color quoted black white color search black white color signature black white color tilde black white color tree black white color underline black white color indicator white black color status white black In others, all black and white, boring as heck. After the update, mutt now shows everything grey and black, except that sidebar dirs which have new or flagged messages, and thus show (4)[3] or something similar, are plain white, just like everything used to be. I verified this by emptying the spam folder and by reading all the nessages in another folder. This behavior is the same whether running under screen or a bare /bin/sh. Is this a known change in 1.5.22? What else could cause this change? I didn't see any 'color' notes in ChangeLog or NEWS. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.

I almost always use mutt from within screen. Screen last changed 2012-11-20, and I rebooted for the 3.12.1 kernel 9 days ago (this reboot was for 3.12.2), and it has been working fine since. There has been one other change which I didn't think related. I am using a company Mac laptop to ssh to my system, and it changed this week to 10.9 from 10.[678], I forget which. Today's reboot was the first time I have ssh'ed in and started screen from the 10.9 Mac. How much of the Mac's Terminal environment does the remote system inherit when I ssh in? I know sometimes the ^H and/or DEL key acts differently, depending on where I ssh'd from when I start new screen sessions. It's not the new Mac's interpretation of the linux screen colors, I am sure, because I have been using the new Mac for several days with the same colors as with the old Mac. If this Mac change has any part in the color change, it's in combination with the mutt change or it's because it changed what it passes to the remote screen command. I have a Linux laptop too, not with me now, and I will see tomorrow if restarting screen after ssh from it behaves differently. There is one advantage to this awful color scheme. Mac 10.9 has goofed up Spaces (their primitive virtual desktop spaces) so that instead of using Apple-[1-9] to go directly to the page of your choice, you click on an icon from a filmstrip-like list of their icons.

Re: Color changed in mutt -- Not a mutt problem
As I mentioned in another post, I had also changed company Mac laptops which I use to ssh in and run screen. I have now found that git diff by itself dumps all sorts of uninterpreted ESC sequences to the screen, but if I pipe that into less (git diff|less), less eats them up. The Mac 10.old (something less than 10.9) has a term type of xterm-color. 10.9 splits that into xterm-16color and xterm-256color. I tried various different TERM values and none of them clear up the ESC and gray color, but my bet is now on the new Mac Term doing something unfriendly. Since this 10.9 Term didn't show the problem until I started the Linux ssh+screen with the new Mac, that must be where the problem is. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.

I put subscribed mailing lists and color defining in two file. then source them
in muttrc.
I tested with this style: commit all of them, then remove commit a little by a
little.
Now I find which one causes this problem.
I define a color for mailing list in color define file.
{{
color index white black ~u
color index white black ~l
color index black green ~T # tagged
color indicator brightwhite brightred
}}
~u and ~l are about mailing list.
when I set this, then I can not use tagged color to color mailing list entry.
but indicator color can work on mailing list entry.

other colors define are all fine.

Color text from img2txt not displaying correctly in pager
Hi, I'm trying to use img2txt from libcaca to display images that are attached to mails. I have the following in my mailcap: image/*; img2txt %s; copiousoutput; I also have the following in my muttrc: set allow_ansi auto_view image/* When viewing a message with an image attached, I get the text output from img2txt but the colors are not correct. It's like it is only rendered with 8 colors rather than 256. I am using (u)rxvt-256color as my terminal and viewing images with img2txt directly in the terminal the colors are correct. img2txt has various format output options (caca, ansi, utf8 with ansi escapes etc.) but none render the color correctly.

some color definitions dont work
Hello, I'm really with no clue and sorry if this stupid or a FAQ, but I can't get some of the color settings to work in mutt 1.15.9 :-( What does work is: set color_after_eol=no color status brightgreen blue color indicator brightyellow red color normal black white What does not work is, for example: color header brightyellow red ^(To|From|Subject): The effect is with the above statement like 'brightgris white'. Same happens with color signature brightgreen blue setting this gives the signature in 'brightgris white'. What do I stupidly wrong? Thanks for a pointer. And yes. I have read the manual, already for some hours, and it is not my xterm, because it worked with 1.14.x Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e g...@unixarea.de - w http://www.unixarea.de/

No, mutt is not producing any errors, its just failing, not only
to set colors but even to highlight (or is it simply reverse)
the black and white header and footer or provide inverse for the
message I'm currently pointing to in the index.
With mutt not complaining I'm guessing it is a terminal/display
issue rather than a mutt issue, just hadn't realized that the
new
server (since nothing changed on my desktop) had, ya know,
issues.
I don't think its mutt, I think mutt is just a symptom, had
hoped that everything would work out of the box.
Trying to download newer sunfreeware mutt build but the download
keeps stalling out on me.

with the specific build of mutt, I believe both from

about Solaris

several
issues:
1. I had to build mutt with slang instead of ncurses.
2. The terminal definition I use has to be set up correctly
in *both*
termcap and terminfo. Specifically, it needs to have the
correct number
of colors specified (Co# in termcap) and the correct
sequences for
setting foreground/background color.
3. The terminal in which you are running mutt (urxvt in my
case) has to
be built with the same color options (256 color support, in
my case).
So, what kind of problem are you seeing? Is mutt

Chip, curie's mutt is built with slang, nnewton's is built with ncurses. That probably accounts for the difference.
