Bug#567487: Please do not accept mutt 1.5.20 from Debian Stable: attachments not working ! keep 1.5.18
Package: mutt Version: 1.5.20-5 Severity: normal Hello, Why critical? - Because it is simply not possible to send emails with added attachements. - So not working for its purpose of mutt. What is mutt for? - Sending emails [I like mutt very much, its great, great to have console based tools, rare, and so useful. many thanks] After long investigation, the 1.5.20 version of mutt is causing sending errors only when attachments are added to the email. I would consider NOT to use 1.5.20 into the testing of Debian, but to send it to SID. The versions mutt-1.4.2.3 and mutt_1.5.18-1 , and mutt_1.5.18.orig.tar.gz are fully working with email attachements. Please use those version for the Squeeze debian stable. Debian is a great value, and should be vigilant sending package to Stable distro. Please. Regarding the test, I used a simple .muttrc that works for mutt-1.4.2.3 and mutt_1.5.18-1 versions. #.muttrc set sendmail=/usr/bin/msmtp unset use_from #set query_command=abook --mutt-query '%s' #macro pager A |'abook --add-email'\n set query_command = abook --mutt-query '%s' macro generic,index,pager \ca shell-escapeabookreturn launch abook macro index,pager A pipe-messageabook --add-emailreturn add the sender address to abook unset reply_self# if unset, a reply to yourself implies reply to other my_hdr Reply-To: yellowprot...@gmail.com alias yellow yellowprot...@gmail.com Here please find a version workign of the deb (that I made, very quickly (chkins.)) http://depositfiles.com/files/de44olvsa md5sum /tmp/mutt_1.5.18-1_i386.deb a90b8c8d34a54eac345ff8a50f7333e2 /tmp/mutt_1.5.18-1_i386.deb Thanks a lot for keeping Debian, an excellent quality stable Distro, always.

From the UI I'm able to send attachemnt and I'm using 1.5.20, from the CLI there is a *known* problem which won't be fixed, it was a feature added by the mutt devs between 1.5.18 and 1.5.19, see the full discussion on #539276 If that bug is the cause of your problems, in that case this bug should be closed in favour of that one, otherwise you should fully explain how to reproduce the problem. Additionally, as I told to you in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=567326 this is clearly explained in the manual page (man mutt), and there is no need to open another bug if existing bugs are merged together.

Bug#567487: Please do not accept mutt 1.5.20 from Debian Stable: attachments not working ! keep 1.5.18
Dear Antonio, Thank you for your shown fast interest about the email sending issue. So to re-produce it: here is a regular configuration that works for the conventional mutt installation on several type of distros (lower to the one that has been made for debian squeeze testing); since there is a large linux community using several mutt version. *apt-get install sendmail mutt msmtp * which are into ubuntu and debian testing in the repos. I note that all works fine with 1.5.18 mutt version (stable previous distro of debian, which shall be stable, or very very stable, because companies rely on Debian, highly) cat .muttrc set sendmail=/usr/bin/msmtp unset use_from #set query_command=abook --mutt-query '%s' #macro pager A |'abook --add-email'\n set query_command = abook --mutt-query '%s' macro generic,index,pager \ca shell-escapeabookreturn launch abook macro index,pager A pipe-messageabook --add-emailreturn add the sender address to abook unset reply_self# if unset, a reply to yourself implies reply to other my_hdr Reply-To: yellowprot...@gmail.com cat .msmtprc account default host smtp.gmail.com port 587 from yellowprot...@gmail.com tls on tls_starttls on tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt auth on user yellowprot...@gmail.com password logfile ~/.msmtp.log what else do you need as files? hmm no idea what more. Please feel free to inquiry all elements of configurations, anytime.
