parametres vers l'éditeur de textes
Bonjour tout le monde, Afin d'améliorer la souplesse de configuration d'un des mes ftplugins pour vim (celui qui va chercher des alias mutt et permet de les ajouter depuis vim), je me demandais si il était possible de fournir des variables de configuration de mutt à vim. Genre avoir dans mon .muttrc un truc du genre : set editor = gvim -c 'let b:aliases_file=mutt:aliases_file|/^$/' Merci d'avance. -- Luc Hermitte

display of mailing lists in the index
I've set up my muttrc to recognize the mailing lists I susbscribe to using 'lists' and 'subscribe', and I've set the view of the index in some mailboxes to show the name of the mailing list using %B. Now my problem (and question): I subscribe to several mailing lists that have names of the following kind: freebsd-ports freebsd-questions freebsd-security freebsd-... you get the idea. And I'd like %B to show 'ports', 'questions', 'security', removing the initial 'freebsd-' of the mailing list name. My problem is that I store all freebsd related lists in the same folder (Maildir). Thus I have a shared index for all FreeBSD related lists. Given the width of the %B field, all I can see is [freebsd-] ... of course I can make it wider, but I prefer to have more space for the Subeject instead. And before you say anything about it, I know I can store every list into its own mailfolder and get rid of %B altogether. I just wanted to know if this is possible at all.

What I usually do now is push L for list-reply the remove the body and appropriate headers. Please DON'T do this. Most MUAs (including mutt) use 'References:' and 'In-reply-to:' headers which can be used for threading. This means that your 'new' message ends up as part of another thread. Since many people who are on a number of high-traffic lists (like myself) use delete-by-thread, you may find that you simply get ignored if you happen to choose a thread that they're not interested in. If you remove 'In-Reply-To' (which the OP may certainly consider an appropriate header), Mutt won't generate the References headers either, and threading won't be broken. As long as you remove 'In-Reply-To' and change the subject, I don't see a problem with this approach. -- Will Yardley input: william @ hq . newdream . net .
Re: New mail to list.
Alas! darren chamberlain spake thus: * Alex Polite [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-09-17 08:22]: How do I start composing a new message to a mailing list? What I usually do now is push L for list-reply the remove the body and appropriate headers. I have this in my config: subscribe mutt-users@ mailboxes =lists/mutt-users folder-hook =lists/mutt-users macro index m \mail[EMAIL PROTECTED]\ subscribe mutt-dev@ subscribe @bugs.guug.de mailboxes =lists/mutt-dev folder-hook =lists/mutt-dev macro index m \mail[EMAIL PROTECTED]\ When I hit m in my mutt folders, it executes the macro, with the appropriate stuff filled in. That's awfully restrictive. What if you were in another mbox and you wanted to mail mutt-users? I just use an alias, and send mail normally. -- Rob Park http://www.ualberta.ca/~rbpark -- How do I type for i in *.dvi do xdvi $i done in a GUI? -- Discussion in comp.os.linux.misc on the intuitiveness of interfaces msg30997/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: mutt hangs on any editor
Alas! Lance Hoffmeyer spake thus: $EDITOR is set to zile. It used to work fine. Something just recently has happened but I can't think of anything that I have done except run programs. What happens if you simply type 'zile' at the command prompt? -- Rob Park http://www.ualberta.ca/~rbpark -- The world is not octal despite DEC. msg30998/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
searching
I'm thinking about switching to mutt. Major deterrant: the crappy search functionality. When my index is displayed and I press / to do a search, it only searches the screen. If I want to search message bodies, it seems I have to open each message and do the search; not practical if I have a mailbox containing over a hundred messages. Am I missing something?

Message 2 goes into my inbox. I could automatically put everything I send in both my inbox and my sent folder. That would solve the thread problem. But would duplicate each message I send to 2 places. Personally, I have stopped using separate 'sent' and 'received' mailboxes. It is much more natural to group mail by context - ie. a separate mailbox for each job, project, relative etc.. I guess I need a kind of virtual folder that joins my outgoing and incoming without duplicating any data. That isn't possible with mutt (though I _almost_ got it working by misusing the compressed folders feature). -- Bruno I guess since I'm running on linux, with Maildir, I could brute force the solution by creating a hard link to all replies in my sent folder.

You are missing a HUGE something. Look at http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html#ss4.2 for all your search options. -Ken
