Re: Viewing html attachments via POP3
Dylan Carlson muttered: I have a source that I pull POP3 mail from, unfortunately receiving html-only mail from places like Hotmail makes life difficult. I want to strip out the html within Mutt and view these attachments from POP3 fetches in plain text. Or I would be happy calling Lynx to view these externally as well (2nd choice). Put this line into your mailcap text/html; lynx -dump -force_html %s; copiousoutput; needsterminal and tell mutt to auto_view text/html alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html Let's you view the plain part of a multipart message, rather than the html part. The FAQ advises editing the mailcap file, which I've done, but this doesn't apply to POP3. Huh? What do you mean by that?

The ? should really be \t here. Probably the default should be
changed to have another backslash, so mutt prints out a useful value.
But this doesn't quote the other regular stuff (lines beginning with
''). So, I've reverted to Suresh's solution for the time being.
So if you expect people to quote stuff with '' with no trailing space,
you cannot actually make this work right with just quote_regexp, because
to get the '' case right, you have to make sure that it doesn't have
another '' afterwards, which you can do, but that means that the first
letter of the line will be matched, so different lines with that same
actual quoting prefix will be colored differently.
However, changing the smileys variable should do what you need.
Namely:
set quote_regexp=^([ \t]*([|:}#]|[A-Z]{2,3}))+
set smileys=(From )|()|(:[-^]?[][)(}{|/DP])
smileys was put there for exactly the reason of countering false
positive quote matches, and it looks like it works just right here.

Now, my problem is, when I view these mails, I get some lines at the beginning of the mail like so : [-- Autoview using lynx -dump etc etc --] Now, how do I prevent this from showing up ? yeah this is a bit annoying. i also find this bit helpful: alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html Well, my problem stems from a Windows MUA called 'IncrediMail', which sends both plain-text and html mails - only the plain text mails are horribly formatted. Also, each line ends with a '^M'. I don't know if you've faced this problem, but it is immensely irritating trying to read those emails. So, for those mails alone, I set mutt to display the text/html as against the plain-text version. (in your .muttrc) this will at least use a text version if both are given (ie it will prefer the plaintext version over the html version). i also find w3m a tiny bit nicer than lynx... but my favorite method for dealing with this sort is to (politely or not depending on how well you know them) ask them _not_ to send html mail in the first place. Most people couldn't care less. Most of my friends are non-geeks who use Web-Mail or MUAs like IncrediMail, and no amount of telling them is going to change their ways. The only way of dealing with it is making Mutt view it better.

Try:

it should do what you want. Note that it won't consider the part a

consider the HP part the first quote string it sees.

archiving old threads in mutt
Hi, I'm a mutt newbie. I've discovered the hook facility which is a powerfull feature. It comes in my mind to hook a macro to some big mailing lists to automatically archive old threads during opening. It looks like a piece is missing to achieve this goal. My idea is to tag all threads without unread mail and older than X days. Is there a command to apply a given command to a pattern matching mail? Then I could do something like : tag-thread for each mail not-tagged and read and ~d8d and then (to untag thread with unread mails) tag-thread for each mail tagged and unread and finally ;s NB: tag-thread doesn't accept pattern directly so I need another command.

Re: mutt doesn't find correct charset
Andy Spiegl muttered: Since I upgraded to 1.3.20i I've got 2 problem with charsets. The first one is that if the charset isn't specified in the Content-Type of a mail, mutt seems to always use us-ascii, although I've set the config variable charset to iso-8859-1. Is that the normal behaviour now? As far as I can tell it has been since 1.0. If so, what do I have to do to make it use iso-8859-1? Ah, I just noticed: if I completely delete the Content-Type: line the iso characters show up correctly again! But just: Content-Type: text/plain doesn't work. And many broken mailer send mails like that. :-( Yeah, I have this in my muttrc to fix that. charset-hook iso-8859-1 # fix stupid MUA output Many of my mails come from a friend who has K.d.Ö.R. in his real name. So the From-Line is like this: From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?K.d.=F6.R.?= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mutt doesn't decode this line in the index, so that I see: 1 Nov 12 =?iso-8859-1?Q?K. ( 9) subject instead of 1 Nov 12 K.d.Ö.R. ( 9) subject In the pager it's shown correctly though: Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 20:43:52 -0500 From: K.d.ö.R. [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Andy Spiegl [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: äöüß If the pager shows the correct iso chars then I guess that there is something mixed up in the headers of that mail. BTW, I've set: set charset=iso-8859-1 and: export LANG=de_DE export LANGUAGE=de_DE export LC_ALL=de_DE LC_ALL=en_US LANG=en_US set charset=iso-8859-1# default enconding Works like charm. :) HTH, Michael -- PGP-Key: http://www-stud.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/~tatgeml/public.key

OT syntax highlighting

The highlighting of syntax in the mutt pager or vim or whatever, where it will either highlight only until the end of the text on each line, or all the way to the end of the terminal. Whatever I try, in Mac OS X's terminal, the highlighting of blocks of text in mutt or vim, it will only go to the end of the terminal, not the end of the line, screwing up copying and pasting.

long delay while downloading headers
Gentlepersons: I've used mutt for years to read mail on my local system. But just recently I have, for the very first time, used it to read mail on remote systems (such as news.opera.no, etc). I find that in the example of Opera, there are over 7000 messages in the news group they are hosting that I am reading. My newsrc file for that server shows all but the last few as having been read, but it still takes several minutes to download ALL the headers whenever I start up Tin and point it at that server. This seems strange, why is it downloading all 7000+ headers when I've already read (or skipped) nearly all the articles? Is there a way to make it grab only the ones that are new since I last read that group? Thanks!
