No, currently there is no (direct) way. It would be nice if there was, yes. I guess it'll only happen if someone misses this feature bad enough that they'll write the code for it, though. Mikko PS.

No, that's slightly different from what I mean. Suppose I finish editing the response I am now editing; then I exit the editor and am given the screen where I hit 'y' to mail. One of the options there is 'A' to attach a message. But suppose I want to pick out one attachment only from a message, instead of a whole message... is there a way to do that? (I can work around it; but since mutt can do anything else, I wonder if it can do this also? ;-) -- - Bruce

The easiest way is to mime_forward the message, which makes the message a MIME part with all the attachments contained. Try it -- you can forward ridiculously complex MIME messages and all works beautifully. This is IMO one of the strongest things Mutt has going for it. You do this by just forwarding the message, with the appropriate settings for $mime_forward, $mime_forward_decode, etc... see David Champion's response. > 2.

See the manual on macros, limits, and Mutt's pattern matching. -- Jeremy Blosser | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://jblosser.firinn.org/ -+-+-- the crises posed a question / just beneath the skin the virtue in my veins replied / that quitters never win PGP signature

Manual, section 2.5: Forwarding can be done by including the original message in the new message's body (surrounded by indicating lines) or including it as a MIME attachment, depending on the value of the $mime_forward variable. Decoding of attachments, like in the pager, can be controlled by the $forward_decode and $mime_forward_decode variables, respectively. The desired forwarding format may depend on the content, therefore $mime_forward is a quadoption which, for example, can be set to ``ask-no''. The inclusion of headers is controlled by the current setting of the $weed variable, unless mime_forward is set. I use: set forw_decode set mime_forward=ask-yes > On a related note, I am wondering if there is a way to add an > attachment consisting of an *attachment* from another email (as > opposed to an *entire* other email). View attachments, select the interesting one, press the "forward" key. Or select multiple interesting ones, and tag-forward. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

If you go into 'view attachments' and tag them all, you can do it that way... until some gives an easier answer. On a related note, I am wondering if there is a way to add an attachment consisting of an *attachment* from another email (as opposed to an *entire* other email). -- - Bruce
not a FAQ
I have read all the FAQs I can find and searched the man page but I still have a couple questions. 1. How do you forward a message, including all the attachments that came with the message? Ideally I would include the forwarded main message as text and the all the attachments would be auto loaded as attachments to the new mail. 2. This is probably an RFE but...Is there any way to save a set of complicated limit strings(perhaps to a file) and so have a preset list of choices on how to limit and display your mail? For example(from another reader): notchisolm:~ (TO chisolm OR FROM chisolm or cc chisolm or bcc chisolm) Something:TO something or CC something or subject something or subject 1844 or subject 524158 or subject 6437265; I suspect a lot of people do this type of function with procmail or something else that seperates mail into multiple folders. That is difficult for me, I travel alot and my company provides a method to read my IMAP mail box via a web or PC app. These are somewhat limited in dealing with folders so it is far better for me to have all my mail in my main inbox. I just subscribed to this list so could you explicitely list me in the reply. Thanks, chris
