hi, thanks for your tip.
it looks like the problematic part of the rpm spec is this one:

i don't know much about rpms, but
i have tried removing the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT, and what
happens is that when the install time comes,
it tries to overwrite stuff in /etc, naturally, however,
i always compile rpms as a uder, never as root, to
prevent percisely these kinds of security violations.
do you have any suggestions?
alternatively, are there any suggestions of
some place to get some decent

I'd suggest you use the DESTDIR mechanism. That is, you
./configure mutt with the directories you want on the
target system. Then, when it comes to installing things,
you type:
make DESTDIR=/what/ever/path/you/want install
(At least, that's the mechanism Debian uses, and I'm sure
Marco would have complained if DESTDIR doesn't work
smoothly from the distributed makefiles.)

It is the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT that allows users to build rpms. The install is
all done under $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and then that prefix is stripped by by RPM
in the %files section. The problem arises when somebody hardcodes a path
that should be $RPM_BUILD_ROOT into part of the spec file.

``$spool'' or ``$spoolfile''
There is a slight 'infelicity' in the mutt manual as it doesn't seem to know whether to call the mail spool $spool or $spoolfile. For example it says in the description of shortcuts:- ! refers to your ``$spool'' mailbox but there isn't a $spool variable, it's $spoolfile. There are other places where $spool is used too. It's not a disaster but it might be a little confusing for a newcomer. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/
Ues of TAB key
The use of the TAB key in mutt seems not to be documented too well, or maybe I'm missing something. In the browser bindings the manual says that the TAB key is bound to *both* check-new and toggle-mailboxes. In actual fact in mutt it's bound to toggle-mailboxes but maybe this is only because that binding is done after the other one so supersedes it. In addition I can't find any reference to the use of TAB for browsing IMAP folders, is this specific to IMAP or does it work anywhere? Experimenting seems to suggest that 'c' followed by TAB does the same as 'c' followed by '?' on local folders. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

How add to address for mailing list semi-automatically?
Hi List, I am subscribed to some mailing lists. Every list has its own (maildir) folder. Incomming messages are sorted by the delivery agent. Further on I added all the addresses to the subscribe variable (mutt 1.2). Therefore reply to the author of a message and replying to the list works fine. Now I would like to be abe to create a header with To: mailinglist-adress by pressing e.g. M. Pressing m should produce a template with empty To: field. Therefore setting a my_hdr in a folder-hook is not appropriate for me. How can I do that? TIA Frank

Re: Version 1.2 - any differences from 1.1.13?
Are there any significant fixes in version 1.2 compared with version 1.1.13, and/or will I lose anything by going to version 1.2? Although I don't use either version (yet), 1.1.13 is a *development* version of mutt. They use the same version numbering as the Linux kernel (and other software, I'm sure). Features were likely added a few versions prior and releases since then mostly involved bug fixes possibly introduced by these new features. When the "problems" were taken care of, someone said "Let's release it" and simply changed the version number. Regards, Hall

Re: making mutt packages.
2000-05-11-03:13:38 Thomas Roessler:
I'd suggest you use the DESTDIR mechanism. That is, you
./configure mutt with the directories you want on the
target system. Then, when it comes to installing things,
you type:
make DESTDIR=/what/ever/path/you/want install
Thanks; that's nicely simpler than what I'd been using before, with
prefix= and docdir= settings. With that tweak, I think my Mutt spec
file may just be simple enough, close enough to generic, to deserve
consideration for inclusion in the Mutt distribution. If you were to
place the spec file anywhere inside the tarball --- e.g. in
contrib/redhat/mutt.spec --- anywhere, as long as the filename ends
in .spec --- then RPM users who download the tarball could
automatically build the rpm by going
sudo rpm -ta mutt-1.2i.tar.gz
One other tweak that I'd encourage considering. If there were some
way you could rig the "make install" process so it doesn't bomb off
in the middle if it can't make mutt_dotlock sgid mail or whatever,
then the spec file could specify the correct perms, and a full
successful rpm build would run fine as any normal, non-privileged
user, and privs would only be needed for the actual install. I
believe I've specified the right perms in the spec file, so the only
reason this build has to be run as root is to prevent the make
install step from failing.

[ sendmail uses the Precedence: header to assign queue priorities, so that, for instance, message with Precedence: first-class are sent out before messages with Precedence: bulk, typically mailing lists.

/tmp persists to be used
It seems that Mutt wants to leave temp files hanging around in /tmp. This confuses me because I have the following in my .muttrc. set tmpdir = ~/tmp However, I continue to find files lingering around in /tmp. Even though these files are read only for myself it's generally good to clean up after yourself and not invite people to try to read your temp files. Could it possibly be "VIM" that is leaving these files? If so, does anyone know the option to move it's temporary file? Here is what I keep finding in /tmp.

Re: Ues of TAB key
Chris, When you have listed your mailboxes via whatever command you bound it too, for me it's "l", like Pine, you can hit tab to list those mailboxes that you indicated in the .muttrc file as explicit mailboxes to check. When I hit "tab" in this menu, it does not show any mailboxes that were not given an explicit path, shows only those mailboxes with expicit paths, and takes me to the mailbox that has new messages, if any. For example, with the two entries below, if I hit tab, the perl mailbox disappears and only the mutt mailbox is left showing. If there were more it would jump to the mailbox with any new messages or to the perl mailbox if a new message arrived. mailboxes perl mailboxes ~/mail/mutt Is this what you were questioning or did I miss your point(s)? I do not use IMAP and therefore have no comment about IMAP at this time.

In the browser bindings the manual says that the TAB key is bound to *both* check-new and toggle-mailboxes. In actual fact in mutt it's bound to toggle-mailboxes but maybe this is only because that binding is done after the other one so supersedes it. In addition I can't find any reference to the use of TAB for browsing IMAP folders, is this specific to IMAP or does it work anywhere? Experimenting seems to suggest that 'c' followed by TAB does the same as 'c' followed by '?' on local folders. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/ ---end quoted text--- -- Best Regards, Corey

On the other hand, they could be... It's certainly one possible source. It should be possible to tell joe (or any editor) not to do backups. And for vim, it's certainly possible to do it so that it doesn't do backups when editing certain kind of files: I do it by using a separate vimrc file for email editing. I'm sure it could be done with just a single .vimrc but this works for me. :-) Similarly, I use xv for viewing images, but when using it from mutt I get messages of the style, "Can't open /tmp/mutt-7893252" and a "Bummer!" dialogue box from xv. I don't really know what's going on here, but it happens so rarely that I always forget :) This is probably because you have things set up so that after starting xv, the control returns back to the calling script (and then Mutt), so that Mutt will continue running and xv won't "hold it up". This is generally a good thing, so you can view the text of the email while xv is displaying the image. The problem occurs when xv is slow in starting up and Mutt deletes the temporary file before xv has a chance to read it, and therefore the file doesn't exist when xv gets around to looking for it. There's a work-around for this, which is more of a kludge than anything else, but which works very well for me: I put a "sleep 5" in the image viewing entry in my mailcap, like this: image/*; xv %s sleep 5 That way there is a 5 second delay before the viewer exits, and xv has more time to load up that image from disk before Mutt deletes it... (Another case of cleaning up temporary files, actually...) Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

Mutt uses the given tmpdir=~/tmp and the mutt-* files are correcly deleted when the mail is sent. Perhaps you set wrong permission for the tmpdir? Could it possibly be "VIM" that is leaving these files? If so, does anyone know the option to move it's temporary file? Do you have a sort of auto-save enabled? If you save the file manually and abort sending in mutt the file won't be deleted. Michael -- PGP-fingerprint: DECA E9D2 EBDD 0FE0 0A65 40FA 5967 ACA1 0B57 7C13
Solaris random device
Somebody seems to already have ported the Linux random.c to Solaris, of which there was discussion recently. Sorry for the cross-post, I can't remember which list the discussion was on. So we used to other option and now there is an improved version of the sun /dev/random code available at http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~andi/ It now cooperates with gpg - at least the 'make check' does not fail or hang -- Sam Roberts, sroberts at uniserve dot com, www.emyr.net/Sam
