That's how it's /supposed/ to work. Fetchmail is equally useless. Another user has reported *exactly* the same problem that I have. If you read your POP3 mailbox from more than one location fetchmail simply doesn't work. What I need is to be able to view my POP3 'folder' and delete individual messages. Most of the newer Unix/Linux MUAs do in fact work this way with POP3 folders, it makes them look just like ordinary local folders to the user. Using fetchmail with mutt can't do this at all. Well, it sounds like what you really want is to use POP as a mailbox format instead of a transportation protocol. I agree it would be cool if Mutt could do this, and I think it's proper, as it's not doing MDA work in that case... provided it doesn't violate any POP specifications, but I've no idea on that.

GPG and color body
Here's a stupid question: I just installed gpg and I want the output of, say, signature verification to be coloured like it is for pgp. So I modified the regex I found in my muttrc from color body brightgreen default "^Good signature" to color body brightgreen default "^(gpg: )?Good signature" but now, unsurprisingly, the gpg: part is also green. How can I make only "Good signature" green without colouring "gpg: ", but only if it appears at the beginning of the line or immediately after "gpg: "? Is it possible? -- Brendan Cully [EMAIL PROTECTED] | OLD SKOOL ROOLZ "I hope I don't win| .-_|\ The rules say to bring a friend | / \ I don't have any" | Perth -*.--._/
Re: Mutt won't Send mail
Hello David: THanks for the reply. I removed the '-t' from sendmail's options, but it doesn't make any difference --- the mail just disappears. I'm afraid I'm enough of a newbie that I can't find a "sendmail log" file anywhere on my system (SuSE 6.2). I wonder if anyone can help me find it?? Incidentally, Pine doesn't have this problem, nor does any other MUA I've tried.

Mutt puts the addresses of the people to send to, on the command line, so using -t is redundant, since it asks sendmail to look in the headers of the message. Some sendmail's will actually send the message twice if you do this. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the quick reply. Your suggestion works. That is, sendmail now doesn't die when I try to SMTP a message, but the message seems to go to that great bitbucket in the sky, because it (the message) never arrives at the addressee, and all trace of the message's existence disappears, except the copy left in 'outbox'. Since sendmail didn't return an error code, we can only assume that it accepted and attempted delivery on the message. You should look in sendmail's log file to see what it did (or tried to do) with the message. -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.

problems installing on sun
Hi, I've looked in the FAQ, but didn't find anything. Please redirect me if this isn't the right place for installation questions/problems. I've downloaded mutt-0_95_7_tar.gz, and am trying to install mutt into my home directory. I used the following options for configure: % configure --prefix=/home/sachin00/arvind/bin/mutt --enable-pop --enable-imap --with-exec-shell=/bin/ksh (the shell option is to get around the problem I keep getting with make, but it doesn't help) and tried make and make install. However, I get the following error: % make cd . autoheader make: @SHELL@: Command not found make: *** [stamp-h.in] Error 127 I'm on a sunOS 5.6 any help? thanks, Arvind -- Arvind K.

I've had similar problems with 1.0pre1 and 1.0pre2 under Red Hat Linux 5.2 - it seems to be a bug in the configure scripts. My workaround was to "touch" a couple of .in and .in.am files to make them older, so the corresponding Makefiles and such got rebuild properly during configure. I specifically remember doing this for the "m4" subdirectory: touch -d "01/01" m4/* I've sent this to this list before but never got a reaction.

print_command expandos?
For a print_command, I use the following:
set print_command=\
"enscript ... --header='%D{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z}|mutt output|%D{%Ux7+%w=4+%j} $%'
~/Out-mutt.ps"
The various % expandos are expanded by enscript to give all the temporal
minutiae I like. (The ellided ... were the pagelayout and fontsize parameters.)
But "mutt output" isn't a very thrilling header field.
Can (some of) the various expandos in, for instance, index_format,
especially %s and %F, be used in the print_command string variable?
I tried it with %s, but mutt just passed it through without expansion.
