Output of UNIX commands
Hi, there! The output of UNIX commands traditionally will be substituted before the line is parsed. For the example my_hdr X-Operating-System: `uname -a` this is ok. But is there a solution to get the output of commands which change often, for example my_hdr X-Date: `date` I tried to put it into a send_hook for ., this doesn't work, too.

cygwin terminal messes up when loggin in from remote
Hi, when I use a cygwin terminal to log in to my linux box from windows, the terminal is set to cygwin. As there are no termcap entries for cygwin on my linux machine, I set the $TERM to 'ansi' which works nicely and gives correct output for 'ls', 'vim', 'slrn' for example. Unfortunately mutt doesn't work correctly with this setting. What should I do to get the correct output ? -- Johannes

Is it possible to associate a particular message signature
to a particular mail-folder and/or recipient ?
yeah. i just did it today :)
the example for recepient is in the userguide ('sept they
set the 'from' header there, and not signature)
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html#ss4.4
For example, if you wanted to set your return address
based upon sending mail to a specific address, you could
do something like:
send-hook '~t ^me@cs\.hmc\.edu$' 'my_hdr From: Mutt User user@host'
for the signature, based on folder: (i am also setting
'from' based on folder)
# default signature. i think you need this as a means of 'resetting
# your sig for the rest of the folders, other then the one you need
# to change
folder-hook . 'set signature=~/.signature'
# and this is how i set signature.
folder-hook =nomadix 'set signature=~/.signature.nomadix'
to do the .sig based on 'to', just combine what's in the
manual with example above
disclaimer
i am fairly new to mutt, so the way i do things may not
be *THE* way to do things, but this i just tested today
and it works :)

generally -
generate a termcap entry using infocmp and paste it into termcap.
however, it's unlikely that you are using termcap on linux, especially
for mutt, but more likely that your terminfo database is old.

OT: Trying to install mailman
Hi, trying to get off-line IMAP up and running (on RedHat 7.0/i386). Tried isync, but it unfortunately use maildir format for mailboxes (I prefer standard mbox). So, I found a mailsync (on http://mailsync.sourceforge.net). However, I have no success with its compilation. First, I tried to compile it with imap-devel-2001.3 package by setting up particular variables to /usr/include, but it failed saying that it is not possible *or, and *not in the names of variables with C++. Therefore, I tried to compile original c-library from imap-2001.BETA.SNAP-0107221451 from UW IMAP homepage. No, success (the same mistake -- only it complained also about *and, to make it complete :-). Does anybody have succeeded with compilation of mailsync and could he send me working .src.rpm, please? Or would anybody advice, what should I do to be able to compile (preferably, over imap-devel) mailsync? Or is it possible to persuade insync to use mbox folders? Thank you very much Matej Cepl

FWIW, I found this in the docs (and it seems to work this way for me) Usage: send-hook [!]pattern command This command can be used to execute arbitrary configuration commands based upon recipients of the message. pattern is a regular expression matching the desired address. command is executed when regexp matches recipients of the message. When multiple matches occur, commands are executed in the order they are specified in the muttrc. It doesn't appear they stop at the first match, I use this and it works for me: send-hook .

Re: shell escape (!) oddity
* Danny O'Brien [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You don't get kicked out - mutt forks a new shell. Type 'exit' or ctrl-D to return to your previous mutt enjoyment. Ah. That would explain why one day when I was confirming this behavior, there were many, many mutt processes running :) Thanks. -- Drew

Re: New mail 'N' flag not showing up
dont really like replying to my own posts, but just more info, in case someone cares. it looks like the problem is still there in 1.3.22i also, it looks like it works fine, until i quit mutt. if i quit mutt, and then come back, i dont get the 'new mail' indicator. this could, i suppose, be expected behavior ... denis * Denis Perelyubskiy [EMAIL PROTECTED] [09-Thu-01 21:24 -0700]: hello, i dont think i have any biff-like programs running. i have mutt 1.2.5i when i am in the folder view, i see 'N' message indicator, but it seems as if after a while those disappear. i am not sure if i can tie that to something i do does this problem ring a bell for anyone? is it something i am doing/not setting? thank you, denis -- // mailto: Denis Perelyubskiy [EMAIL PROTECTED] // icq : 12359698 // PGP : http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~denisp/files/pgp.asc denis -- // mailto: Denis Perelyubskiy [EMAIL PROTECTED] // icq : 12359698 // PGP : http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~denisp/files/pgp.asc

If you use procmail, add this to the top of your procmailrc:
