mailing output stream as a file [borderline off topic]
Hi Forgive me if I should address this elsewhere, but the quality of this list is so high, its just too difficult to resist - ok, I'll stop. I want to send the output of a unix process (i.e. a text stream) by mail as an attached text file _non_ interactively. I loathe making tmp files and then deleting them and would like to keep this all in memory using variables. Is there perhaps a way to spoof a text file and get mutt to attach with `-a' the stream and call the stream filename.txt - or should I just stop dreaming? Also I often have difficulty going: echo this and that other|mutt -s "A Subject" -a attachment.tar.gz joe Mutt comes upo interactively - if I try from another Account it works fine - what should I toggle in my muttrc?

Re: take e-mail addresses from a mail
This does not generate your mutt alias entries for you - dunno how the other
solutions decide on an alias name - think that decision would involve some
human interaction - also do you really want _all_ the addresses to become
aliases?
Anyway this perl snippet can be set onto any text as standard input - including any
mailfolders - and will return a list of sorted and unique email addresses
__
#!/usr/bin/perl
##grepemail gets the eMail address from arb text file
$chars='a-zA-Z0-9\_\-\.';
while () {
s/[^$chars]([$chars]+\@[$chars]+[a-zA-Z]{1})[^$chars]/$list{$1}=''/eg; }
foreach $entry (sort keys %list) { print "$entry\n"; }

I have the following mutt procedure (defined as a function):

Two problems preventing the non-interactive use of the script:
1. When the mail folder $1_aged is not already in existance, then mutt
prompts whether it should create one. Now I have the onfirm_create set
so that I am prompted during normal interactive use which is how I wish
to keep it (to prevent folder breeding ;)). Is it possible to have a
force create? Yeah I know a around is to wrap this in a script and
test for the non-existance of the $1_aged and creste if necc.
2. Occasionally the procedure exits mutt after doing its thing and
sometimes it dont. If the latter then non-interactive use would be a
bit
problematic,

So when I quit the editor that mutt spawns, I can do nothing for one second and the mail will be sent or press cntrl-C possibly (within the second) so that I may do some work in the compose screen. Currently I am binding return in compose as follows: macro compose return :set ispell=newsbody-ispell\nispellsend-message -- Eric Smith

Different senders have different colors (those that don't got to
/dev/null of course :) )
I have a reminder script, see the rules at the bottom for hour

Somtimes I think it would be nice if people posted tips as well as questions.

default directory for change-folder
I believe that mutt should automatically prepend the value of the set-folder variable to whatever the user enters as the destination folder when issuing the change-folder command (bound by default to 'c'). To get round this I have lived with mutt being executed from my mail folder dir - but this workaround is no longer convenient for me. Also you could map macro index c change-folder= But then you lose the (partially useful) functionality of the last active folder being offered by mutt as the default.

Nothing I have seen convinces me that this is not a sufficiently
useful configurable option to make it standard.
well, how about this then:
$ cd ~/Mail; mutt
now you can save your mails *without*
any '+' or '+' - just type in the name!
why ad any code to mutt for
this simply startup method?
As I mentioned in my original mail, this has become a pain
for me - a real pain - I want to be always in my ~ dir.
Default save from mutt must be in ~ and when I want to
read something into a mail edit session or add an attachment,
9+ times out of 10 the file is in my ~ dir.
So I had enough and changed this function:
u() {
if [ $1 ]
then
mutt $@
else
cd #/data/Mail
^^^
mutt
cd -
fi
}
Changing and navigating folders is one of the most fundamental
functions of a MUA so something that makes this more convenient
by obviating a silly keypress each time can IMO, hardly be
regarded as adding a kitchen sink.
(The reading and attaching problem, may be fixed if with the set
editor command you could cd to another dir before launching your
editor).

I must apologize for spacing out there; I apparently didn't pay any attention to the Subject: line and failed to note that you wanted to save two copies of the outgoing email. Don't worry I figured ... % % For those wishing to implement this - % I did it this way % % .muttrc: % my_hdr Bcc: .outgoing [EMAIL PROTECTED] % my_hdr X-outgoing: save # see header to this email ;) % % .procmailrc: % :0 c % * ^X-outgoing: save % .outgoing % % saves copy of all mail sent _with mutt_ to the.outgoing % folder. Better (for me), than procmail matching on any From % header. That seems pretty elegant, actually; not a bad idea. FWIW, this has come up on the list a few times before and the closest we got (with existing functionality) was to wrap sendmail and save the copy there in order to trap the bcc: headers in both (or as many as you want!) copies. Yeah I brought up a previous thread re Fcc-ing to all recipients of a mail -another thing on my wishlist and very important in userland. I do not touch sendmail.cf and am in no mood to start really. Yeah the solution that is put together above works but its wasteful: You have to send the mail (with Bcc) and fire sendmail and procmail or whatever. When you (I anyway) edit the outgoing, you have two extra - annoying - headers to stare at. - much better to do all this type of functionality without firing anything but your current mutt instance which just has to write to your local folders. I really believe that this type of functionality could easily - I aint a C programmer :( - be implemented in mutt itself BTW, people can drop the 'c' in the ':0 c' above (I had it in there cause I was testing from myself to myself.

It seems to me that a much better long-term solution would be to politely explain to these recipients when they make this error, the meaning of the To and Cc fields. This would also save them from making the same mistake with mail from others besides yourself. It dont seem that way to me. Email is a commercial tool, not just a techie medium. People do not (want to) squint at headers, even things obvious to you and I, like To: or Cc: If a bit of programming can make things _more_ obvious, the my view is that it is a good thing. It's also impossible to do what the original poster wants; as soon as the message differs between recipients, it's no longer a cc/bcc; it's a different message, and has to be injected separately. So inject it a second time - why all this ideology? Sendmail is light enough to be run a few times if needs be. -- Eric Smith

To my understanding,
this makes every address listed in the recipients_list lowercase

So I want the recipe to match any case in the header.
Also, I should have added that my hook is compound viz:

Re: change folder and immediately apply filter conditions to new
What do you mean by filter condition? If not limit... do you mean you want to filter what folders you're allowed to type in? yes, limit as in which messages to display. So i want to change to folder =foo and see only 2w From: bar
apply filter conditions to new folder from command line

sidebar patch - performance
My pleasure in having the sidebar patch transform the mutt user experience has just been destroyed by observing the poor performance of for example scrolling up and down the index. There seems to be some buffer overload with delayed response compared to an unpatched mutt which is much more responsive. Am I alone in experiencing this? It also seems strange to me that the sidebar feature is not seen as a high priority by the general mutt community. -- - Eric Smith
Re: sidebar patch - performance
I use the sidebar patch myself and the only performance problem I see with my mutt is that loading mailboxes with quite a few messages takes some time. I don't know, however, if this is related to the side bar patch. Same here.
alarm when attaching xml files
I sent hundreds of pdf files for every xml file. Hoever, because of the way I generate the pdf files, I often mistakenly attach the xml source. Is there a way to configure (without source changes) mutt so that it will issue a warning or to even refuse to attach xml files? -- - Eric Smith
fork process on reply
When I press reply, I want to fork a new instance of mutt with that new instance then executions the editor with the replied to message and headers in place. I would do this into another screen window ideally but others might want to launch an xterm for this purpose. The advantage is to have the initial instance of mutt intact together with mailbox, filters and sorting method. doable? -- - Eric Smith
run mail command with recipient of selected email
Is there (or should there be) a mutt command where user could run the mail command - for a *new* mail message - with the recipient taken automatically from the message selected in the index? (mutt Would select the recipient as the sender or recipient based on the alternates variable). Am I the only one that is constantly looking up mail addresses from previous emails to or from a certain contact? Of course I use my aliases file a lot as well. -- - Eric Smith
select most recent mail after limit command
When I open a new mailbox, the most recent mail is automatically selected. However, when I perform a limit command, the filtered list is displayed but the selected mail is the oldest. How do I have the most recent mail selected after a limit command? Thank you. -- - Eric Smith
save in folder of all recipients including CC
Is there a patch for mutt to save mails in the folders of all To: recipients and all Cc: recipients as specified in the save-hook command? -- - Eric Smith
auto pipe to script on viewing message with output to pager
I want to run a translation script automatically when viewing a mail in the pager. The output of the script should be displayed in the pager. What I do now is go into the attachment menu and then pipe to the script. Works perfectly but is too manual. But the automatic method should also send only the text part to the script (and pager) and only the body and not the headers although Subject: would be nice I guess.
