The mutt -z (or Z) works in that mutt will exit immediately if there is no
mail. However, if a -f option is passed specifying a pop server as the
mailbox, in addition to -z, mutt will assume a file type mailbox and quit
indicating no mailbox file even though there is mail in the pop account. Is
I am using mutt (another newbie) as a sub-set of another process, i.e
unattended. The mutt section is intended to go into a mailbox and save mail
that matches a subject pattern, delete that mail and then quit
automatically. This is relatively easy using push, tag pattern, tag prefix,
save message;
When I use uuencode (uuencode somefile somefile2 | mail address) it comes
across as an attachment in outlook but not in mutt. When I send an
attachment from mutt to mutt (or outlook to mutt) it comes in as an
attachment that doesn't require uudecode. I know that I can save the encoded

I recently installed mutt (1.4) on a number of solaris machines: sol7 and
sol8. I needed libiconv and I certainly had to be root, regardless of my

mutt -f pop://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ -e 'push somestrings'
This will work but only if executed from a tty. If you are trying to do this

Make sure you have environment variables LD_RUN_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set
to /usr/local/lib.

I'm a new user on mutt1.4, sol7. After trying mutt from a script (using -e
etc to save attachments) it worked fine. Unfortunately I must have this auto
and the cron fails due no tty (says No Recipient). I couldn't find an
elegant solution to this but I did get it to work by telling mutt that
Hi,
I'm trying to build mutt 1.4 on solaris 7 but the make install fails -
