addressbook fuctionality question
I finally now understand how to call up the addressbook. I thought that this was a function of the editor, but in actuality, an extension of the pager. Is their a way to bind a key to the editor to bring up the address book. I wouldn't imagine so, but with open source, who knows?

The closest thing Mutt had is a list of aliases, which are basically short names that can be expanded to longer addresses. If that fits your purpose, then you can use the "a" command to add each message's address to your list of aliases.

send-hook and my_hdr cc
Hi all, There is a certain domain that whenever I send mail to it, I need to automatically CC someone. I'd like to set up a send-hook for this, like this one: send-hook mydomain.com 'my_hdr Cc: user1,user2' That doesn't seem to work.

Re: qmail and the sender part III
Thanks, Mikko! I'm not sure but I suspect these might be caused by settings in the QMAILINJECT environment variable -- do you have that set? By default, qmail-inject (and thus, the sendmail wrapper) does not touch the From: header. It will also by default remove the Return-Path header but use the contents for the envelope sender. If you do have QMAILINJECT set, refer to the manual page again... Usually it doesn't need to be set, the defaults are good for most circumstances, so my first suggestion would be to unset it. You guessed right! QMAILINJECT was indeed set, and it was set to `f' (see the qmail-inject manpage for details :-). I commented it out and all the trouble was gone. There's just the Return-Path left to the MAILUSER and MAILHOST variables, but I don't care much about that. I think I set QMAILINJECT when I followed some installation instructions too blindly to know what I was doing. Regards, -- Matthias Lampert, Hamburg

Look at the duplicate email headers, where are the duplicates coming from? Do they have the same Message-ID?

If only some of them are the same, then the problem happens between the two servers where the different Received headers start.

mutt-1.1.2i -- imap folders question
Greetings -- First off, I'm new to the list ( and to mutt ), so Hello! Second, I have a question regarding browsing my imap folders: Why do I see two instances of each folder, one with a '.' appended and one without? For instance: 1 IMAP../ 2 IMAPMisc 3 IMAPMisc. 4 IMAPPostponed 5 IMAPPostponed. 6 IMAPProjects 7 IMAPProjects. 8 IMAPSent 9 IMAPSent. 12 IMAP Is there a way to modify this behavior? And what's causing this? ( the server is Cyrus IMAP ) I'm wondering whether the 'toggle-mailboxes' command has anything at all to do with this, but when ever I hit the TAB key, it takes me directly to my INBOX rather than changing the view within the browser... Also, what's with that last IMAP entry without a name? ( #12 ) Thanks for any clues anyone can throw my way and apologies if this has already come up before, but I was unable to locate any info pertaining to this topic in the docs or on dejanews.

pine like sorting
Hi, I'm new to the list.. I've been poking around for this knowledge but haven't found the answer. I apologize if you're tired of this question.

reverse_alias and 2 people using same address
Hello! I know two person using the same email-address. I have defined aliases for both person. While replying to one of them I recognized a strange behavior of mutt. The relevant settings in my muttrc are: alias alias1 Person1 Name [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias alias2 Person2 Name [EMAIL PROTECTED] set attribution="Hello %v!\n\n%n wrote:\n"' set index_format="%F" set reverse_alias=yes The first strange behavior occurs in the index menu. Although Person2 mailed with | From: Person2 Name [EMAIL PROTECTED] The index-menu shows | Person1 Name The real nuisance occurs when replying to an email from Person2 The 'To: '-header and attribution in this case are: | To: Person2 Name [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Hello Person1! | | Person1 Name wrote: A workaround to this problem would be: a procmailrule :0 * ^From:.*[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/user/Mail/special-folder and in muttrc set reverse_alias=yes folder-hook .* set reverse_alias=yes folder-hook =special-folder set reverse_alias=no or (even better!) a procmailrule like :0 * !^From: [A-Z][a-z]* [A-Z][a-z]* .* /home/user/Mail/special-folder1 and in muttrc set reverse_alias=no folder-hook .* set reverse_alias=no folder-hook =special-folder1 set reverse_alias=yes But is this really necessary? Wouldn't it make more sense that mutt tries to determine if there is a (possibly valid) realname in the 'From: '-header and when one is found uses this instead of the reversed alias? BTW: The manual should explain that setting this variable may change %F, %L, %v and %n in $index_format/$attribution. If I missed any options/variables I would be glad to be pointed at them. And yes, I thought about using a send-hook. This would have the disadvantage, that I could not toggle reverse_alias until changing folder, sending a mail to someone else or defining a macro and using it manual. Franz

Well, at any rate - my ultra-cheesy, half-assed partial work around is to unsubscribe from the actual mailbox instance ( the "dotless" one ) of each folder. Now, this *would* work moderately well if it were not for the annoyance that for some reason I'm unable to unsubsribe from folders ( the ones with the dot ) -- the idea being to selectively display folders without their accompanying mailbox, and then to selectively display mailboxes without their companion folder object.
