problems with non a-z chars and my_hdr (1.3.24i)
After I upgraded from 1.3.23 to 1.3.24 a few days ago, one of my users started complaining that his From field was all messed up. At first I suspected he'd made a mess of his .muttrc, but after taking time to investigate today it seems that his .muttrc is correct. my_hdr Christian Kjønsvik [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the line in question, when changed to my_hdr Christian Kjnsvik [EMAIL PROTECTED] it worked as specified. This user didn't complain when running 1.3.23 and he said that he hadn't seen these problems before, so I suspect it's to do with 1.3.24...

Re: mutt + spamassassin
Thus spake Gerhard Häring ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): What I'd like to have is a possibility to remove the spamassassin markup and save the message from within mutt. Removing the markup with a filter works with | spamassassin -d. But how do I then save the filtered message? I'm using IMAP, if that matters. In the message index, select the message and hit 'e' for edit, and at least in vim you can hit ':' and enter this: %!spamassassin -d That will filter the whole message through the spamassassin reversal and put the output in its place in the edit buffer. Then you can just quit vim and you'll see the old message marked for deletion and a new, un-marked-up message in the folder as well. Also, if you're interested, I made a small writeup about spamassassin in general, especially in combination with procmail and mutt: http://codesorcery.net/docs/spamtricks.html I think I'll add the reversal trick when I get a chance :-) -- Justin R.

Sending multipart/alternative attachments
I've RTFM and haven't seen a way for mutt to send (not display) multipart/alternative attachments. Is there an external program that can be used with mutt to do this? I was considering using an existing message as a template, but I thought I read where the boundary string has to be unique and I'd rather not have to guess at a unique sequence and edit the boundary manually. Besides, it would be much easier to have the attachments assembled automatically and after all, that's what computers are for. Before this degenerates into a discussion of Why would you ever want to do that? and Mail should be text/plain: The reason I want this is that as secretary for an organization, I need to regularly distribute a form to the members.

That will give me multiple attachments, which may be good enough, but I was hoping to use the alternative tag to allow each recipient's MUA to display only one version of the attachment, the one with the user's preferred Content-Type. I was also hoping this would cue the recipients that there really is only one form they need to fill out, without me having to spell it out in the cover letter.

Now I was curious and figured out the command for your real example: mutt -f (grepmail -huqd between 2001-09-01 and 2001-10-01 \ ^From.*frob@(foo|bar).net mbox1 mbox2 mbox3) This seems cool but when i gave it a (much more simppler) try: mutt -f (grepmail -h cco@ *) i see mutt reading messages from /dev/fd/63, a few messages from grepmaiol and then: the mutt index which first looks fine but when I hit enter to read a message the pager was empty... also ae (ls) emacs (ls) jed (ls) did not work. Any hints? Well, it won't help the bash-users out there, but anyone willing to give zsh a try will benefit from this excerpt from the Process substitution of the zshexpn manpage: Both the /dev/fd and the named pipe implementation have drawbacks. In the former case, some programmes may automatically close the file descriptor in question before examining the file on the command line, particularly if this is necessary for security reasons such as when the pro gramme is running setuid. In the second case, if the programme does not actually open the file, the subshell attempting to read from or write to the pipe will (in a typical implementa tion, different operating systems may have different behaviour) block for ever and have to be killed explicitly. In both cases, the shell actually supplies the information using a pipe, so that programmes that expect to lseek (see lseek(2)) on the file will not work. ... If = is used, then the file passed as an argument will be the name of a temporary file contain ing the output of the list process. This may be used instead of the form for a program that expects to lseek (see lseek(2)) on the input file. So this works for me: mutt -f =(mboxgrep -mmaildir '^From:.*callahan@homicide\.SFPD\.gov' $MAIL) mboxgrep even adds the wicked ^From_ lines! Really, though, zsh effectively does the same thing as what grepm does, with the temp file.

Re: filters
Hi, On Wed, 19 Dec 2001 giorgian spewed into the ether: hi all, i have been using mutt for three days, and there are tons of things i haven't figured out yet. i haven't found anything in the man pages about mail filters; initially i decided to try procmail, but it is decisely too much insane for me: i'm a member of at least 15 MLs (plus this one :) ), and my .procmailrc is an awful mess, so i gave up.

Re: Charset problem
* Rob 'Feztaa' Park ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [Dec 19. 2001 23:17]: Using woody, too. Make sure you have the locales package installed. Which one? There are many, for different purposes. These ones might be relevant: icu-locales 1.8.1-2 (not installed) locales 2.2.4-7 (installed) That one ^^ I think. That's what I have installed. I just did a `dpkg-reconfigure locales' and chose my preference. [...] I fixed this problem by setting my locales (LC_*) in my shell's rc file(s), then adding that information to /etc/environment. I would get I don't have this file. Huh? Well it's there in a default setup in my woody. I have no idea what's going on there. [...] localedef -c -i en_US -f ISO-8859-1 en_US (or whatever..) Ok, did that. Before I ran it, /usr/lib/locales was empty, now there's a /usr/lib/locales/en_US. Does that mean I should configure all my LC_* variables to be en_US? Yep, that's what I meant by or whatever -- if you wanted something else other than en_US Just out of curiosity, do you have the file /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US? [...] Mines like this: LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE=POSIX LC_NUMERIC=POSIX LC_TIME=POSIX LC_COLLATE=POSIX LC_MONETARY=POSIX LC_MESSAGES=POSIX LC_PAPER=POSIX LC_NAME=POSIX LC_ADDRESS=POSIX LC_TELEPHONE=POSIX LC_MEASUREMENT=POSIX LC_IDENTIFICATION=POSIX LC_ALL= After I ran that other command, I just tested it and it isn't working. Could you provide a little more details about where I configure those LC_* variables? Just in ~/.bashrc? or somewhere special? Yeah I use bash, so I set my ~/.bashrc with the correct LC_* settings (you could set yours to en_US if that's what you wanted.) Set those in your ~/.bashrc, source your .bashrc (% . ~/.bashrc) then type in mutt and look at an email where you get the ? marks and see if it's right. (open a shell and type in mutt manually to make sure it *is* working from there before you try it from a menu, key-binding, etc.) -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!

Re: Charset problem
On Wed, Dec 19, 2001 at 11:33:31PM -0500, Brian Clark (dis)graced my inbox with: icu-locales 1.8.1-2 (not installed) locales 2.2.4-7 (installed) That one ^^ I think. That's what I have installed. I just did a `dpkg-reconfigure locales' and chose my preference. I figured that was the one, but wasn't sure. I did the dpkg thing, and chose en_US ISO-8859-1. Still not working. I fixed this problem by setting my locales (LC_*) in my shell's rc file(s), then adding that information to /etc/environment. I would get I don't have this file. Huh? Well it's there in a default setup in my woody. I have no idea what's going on there. Me either. localedef -c -i en_US -f ISO-8859-1 en_US (or whatever..) Ok, did that. Before I ran it, /usr/lib/locales was empty, now there's a /usr/lib/locales/en_US. Does that mean I should configure all my LC_* variables to be en_US? Yep, that's what I meant by or whatever -- if you wanted something else other than en_US en_US is fine. I'm Canadian, but it's not like there's a difference that anybody cares about. Just out of curiosity, do you have the file /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US? Yup. There's a ton of others in that folder, too. After I ran that other command, I just tested it and it isn't working. Could you provide a little more details about where I configure those LC_* variables? Just in ~/.bashrc? or somewhere special? Yeah I use bash, so I set my ~/.bashrc with the correct LC_* settings (you could set yours to en_US if that's what you wanted.) I set them in my ~/.bashrc file and it didn't change anything (yes, I sourced the config file. The locale command still shows the POSIX stuff.) -- Rob 'Feztaa' Park [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
