Why not submit the m_ldap module to Roland for inclusion in the lbdb

as mentioned Roland, I already did propose this module.
But as underlined, it deserve more thinking and work to have a clean

Hi. I've change a function a little. Now it takes only name of recipient (if it's there) and its address otherwise.

This kludge is needed for PGP compatibility; normally you would use --sign or --clearsign to selected the type of the sig- nature.

For example $ ps ax | grep lemming 16004 tty1 S 0:00 grep lemming Y'see? Grep makes a match on its own process. It works OK on AIX 3.2.5 ps. If you add the -f flag it finds the grep line, but it does'nt without it. OK, so maybe my script does'nt work on all systems, but it is worth playing with to see if some set of ps flags works as required. I've been working a lot with ps in Tru64 UNIX and reading the Unix98 (Single Unix Spec V2) standards, and this is undefined behaviour. Basically, ps takes a snapshot of the processes running at an instant in time. Depending on how it does this, and how the system manages processes, the ps command itself may or may not show. Some Unices will even show it sometimes and not others. -- Bob Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "The sooner you start to code, the longer the program will take." -- Roy Carlson, University of Wisconsin

Don't bother with all of that work, since = is just a shortcut for you
that mutt has to expand in the end. Try something like
mailboxes ! `echo ~/mail/*`
and watch it all work. From my .mutt/muttrc file:
mailboxes $MAIL `echo $HOME/Mail/F.*`
I suppose you can guess that my incoming mail is sorted into 'F'olders

Even better, I hope :-) HTH HAND
