Debian, Mutt, Eterm, Ncurses
Today I applied updates for my Debian box, running Sid, or unstable. So Ncurses was updated, and when running mutt in an Eterm, before I could get a transparent Eterm with mutt. But now mutt runs a standard looking black/white term. I guess this is because of the upgrade, so I recompiled mutt. Same issue. Is their a way to resolve this, other then go back to the previous ncurses version ? -- /Jason G Helfman "At any given moment, you may find the ticket to the circus that has always been in your possession."

Changing subject line in received mail
Is there a simple way to change the subject line of an incoming message before saving it? It would be particularly useful to do this when saving the messages one gets when subscribing to mailing lists. I keep these in a single mailbox and because of the inconsistency of the subject lines used it's often quite hard to find the subscription details for a particular list. If I could just change the subject line before saving the message I could make my life much easier. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

In other words, configured to check my _ISP's_ POP3, thus elminiating the need for my AIX box to handle all the mail using sendmail and/or qmail, etc. You can set these up in muttrc: set pop_host=servername set pop_user=userid set pop_pass=password (only if you don't want to be prompted) Then you can use SHIFT-G to tell mutt to hit the pop server.

I tried playing with changing the value of "folder" with a send-hook, but since it doesn't reset immediately after, it mungs up normal operations (since I still want "folder" to just be "~/mail/").

Re: Debian, Mutt, Eterm, Ncurses
So where would I go from this point? I have no issues with investigating, but if you could point me in the right direction, that could be cool. On Thu, Mar 08, 2001 at 10:51:56AM -0500, Thomas E.

sending attachments
To elaborate on my earlier question about including attachments, the following is what I'm sending out. This is the raw text of the mail. When Mutt receives this, it's able to parse it without a problem and treat the attachments and text appropriately. When other mailers (so far tried with emacs and hotmail, among others) they fail.

You are running mutt-1.3.8, right? Then you should post to mutt-dev, not mutt-users. 1.3.8 is ultimately outdated. I'd recommend to upgrade to the latest devel version 1.3.16 (or use 1.2.5, the latest stable release). The problem you observe was fixed in mutt-1.3.9. 1.3.8's handling of character set conversion (iconv) was broken. I had a very similar problem with 1.3.8 on Solaris.

I would like to know how to set line length at 72 chars in my .emacs It infuriates many to have messages longer that 72 chars to a line One can use post.el v.1.6.3.10.

Re: Pager binding to advance to next-new in thread
Christian R Molls muttered: is it possible to make the tab key advance to the next-new message in the current thread, if any, and return to the index if the last new message in the current thread has been reached? AFAICS no. Mutt isn't capabale of conditioned executions ie. there's not "if" construct. HTH, Michael -- "We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."

mutt_dotlock problems
Hi All, Can anyone explain how mutt_dotlock works and where its settings are kept. Mutt tries to write to my outbox and tries to dotlock a file named "outbox." in the same directory. It cant (for some reason I cant quite see). But can I change the place it tries to write the lock file to instead? /usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock is uid:root and gid:mail So it should be able to write to my home directory, but who knows sometimes (nfs, nis setups)! Thanks for any help, -- Murray Maxwell Dancey, [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq. 106790920
Re: Help, cant send with mutt
Dave Murray proclaimed on mutt-users that: Thanks for the help. After lot's of stuff. Fixed DNS, ran install-sendmail script, ... I've got it to where when I send this, it won't actualy go. Repeat, gets same result, then repeat again gives [ OK ][ OK ] Then the mail gets sent! I'm getting close, any ideas? Something flaky with your sendmail install / the system's under very high memory load because of something. Reinstall sendmail (preferably compiling it). And next time, use # kill -HUP `head -n1 /var/run/sendmail.pid` to restart sendmail.
