Re: a little organizational help
I've adapted the recommendations in the Procmail Quick Start for naming maildirs and sorting into those maildirs with procmail. I use muttrc's fcc-hook commands to organize my replies into appropriate maildirs, and have mutt sort by thread. I find this approach provides ready access to all correspondence related to, eg, a particular client or subject or list. I use the gbuffy biff to display new message status for each maildir on my desktop. All my maildirs are under ~/Mail, and all mail config files (abook, gbuffy, procmail, etc) under ~/Mailstuff (with softlinks from ~). Finally, to make the transition to mutt easier, I set up softlinks from my old mozilla mboxes under ~/MAIL so I can read 'em conveniently from mutt. HTH. -- Mark Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(command /usr/bin/maildrop ~/.maildroprc returned 19200 (maildrop: signal 0x06)) $getmail gives sth similar: msg #1 : len 998 ... retrievedfailed to process message list for charlesjie (command /usr/bin/maildrop ~/.maildroprc returned 19200 (maildrop: signal 0x06)) Resetting connection and aborting... 2. My maildrop now looks OK and saves message to given mbox. The problem is that getmail doesn't remove message in POP server. I'll get a copy of the same message each time I run getmail. 3. getmail also fails to fetch mail if the destination mbox doesn't exist. Thus I can not let mutt remove the empty mbox file when all messages are deleted. 4. My getmail is 2.1.9, while maildrop is 1.3.4. The broken getmail rpm from Mandrake 8.1 is 2.1.5. I'll send it to you in another mail. It misses ALL the python modules. 5. About getmail documentation, I agree the author did work hard and write much. I just happen to need sth not sufficiently covered. To have a filter, I can only find an instance throughtout the mentioned documents - postmaster = |/path/to/command that's all. No syntax description about such case. When I try to add arguments to the command, I've got to try out: postmaster = |/usr/bin/procmail -Y -t (wrong) postmaster = |/usr/bin/procmail -Y -t (correct) 6. Futher, getmail doesn't mention the restriction of point 3. 7. It takes no hard work to prepare man page but it's a big convenience. Without it, I need to run $ rpm -ql getmail to find out the right document every time, and then copy and paste to run less to check it. Do you have a better approach to do it? thanks, (and sorry to post getmail's question here. I regard such filter function as a part of Using Mutt.) charlie On Wed, Jan 09, 2002 at 05:07:03PM +0100, Roman Neuhauser wrote: I've tried procmail and maildrop to go with getmail but all failed.

Interesting. I suggest you to enable logging in both getmail and maildrop, tail -f both logfiles, and get some mail. Also, it'd be nice if you provided version numbers. I'm no maildrop hacker, but Charles wrote getmail, and a version number could probably help. 3. getmail doesn't have enough documentation at this moment: I dare to disagree: share/doc/getmail/CHANGELOG share/doc/getmail/docs.txt share/doc/getmail/faq.txt share/doc/getmail/getmail.txt share/examples/getmail/getmailrc-example a. no man page While man page would be really nice IMO, Charles expressed he was not interested in maintaining it. That said, the tarball *does* have enough docs IMO. b. the rpm package comes with Mandrake 8.1 is broken. It misses a (at least) python module. I replace it with a D/L one. You should bug the package's maintainer. The FreeBSD port I installed Getmail from didn't give me any trouble.

When I hit 'c' and navigate to a mailbox, how do I get back to
/var/spool/mail/nick? It's an awfully painfull task to navigate right up
to the spool again. I usually restart mutt, but this surely isn't right?

My maildrop now looks OK and saves message to given mbox. The problem is that getmail doesn't remove message in POP server. I'll get a copy of the same message each time I run getmail. So it works now? Was the problem just the getmail rpm? As to your question: getmail *does* remove retrieved messages from the server just fine. I don't know if it's the default behavior, but you can certainly get it with delete = 1 in your .getmailrc 3. getmail also fails to fetch mail if the destination mbox doesn't exist. Thus I can not let mutt remove the empty mbox file when all messages are deleted. Yes. This is clearly stated in the docs... Or was it the source? Anyway, I don't see how this could be a problem given that you have getmail deliver to maildrop? 4. My getmail is 2.1.9, while maildrop is 1.3.4. The broken getmail rpm from Mandrake 8.1 is 2.1.5. I'll send it to you in another mail. It misses ALL the python modules. As I already wrote in a separate message, I don't know what good it is to send rpm files. But let's get over it. 7. It takes no hard work to prepare man page but it's a big convenience. Well, you have to *maintain* it: keep it up to date. And that's worse. Without it, I need to run $ rpm -ql getmail to find out the right document every time, and then copy and paste to run less to check it.

mutt-1.3.25i: $pgp_create_traditional creates application/pgp instead of text/plain messages
Package: mutt Version: 1.3.25i Severity: important -- Please type your report below this line The typical PGP message is encapsulated with its signature in PGP-MIME format. Many mail programs cannot handle that and, although its use is not encouraged, mutt now includes a $pgp_create_traditional variable to sign messages in-line instead of with a MIME-attached signature. This is not sufficient for many mail programs, including (but not limited to) MS Outlook and PINE. To provide the text/plain format required by those mailers, Shane Wegener created his pgp-outlook patch with a $pgp_outlook_compat variable which, when set, formats the message correctly. The behavior of $pgp_create_traditional should be changed to match that when $pgp_outlook_compat is set -- the message will be in text/plain format instead of application/pgp format. :-D -- Build environment information (Note: This is the build environment installed on the system muttbug is run on.

I apologize for this being offtopic, but as the author of getmail, I can't let the following misinformation go uncorrected. Charles Jie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1. My getmail.log gives: Aborting... (command /usr/bin/maildrop ~/.maildroprc returned 19200 (maildrop: signal 0x06)) Maildrop is dying because it's receiving signal #6. Not getmail's fault. 2. My maildrop now looks OK and saves message to given mbox. The problem is that getmail doesn't remove message in POP server. I'll get a copy of the same message each time I run getmail. getmail refuses to delete the message because the local delivery failed. The alternative is to risk losing mail, and I won't let that happen. 3. getmail also fails to fetch mail if the destination mbox doesn't exist. Thus I can not let mutt remove the empty mbox file when all messages are deleted. [...] 6. Futher, getmail doesn't mention the restriction of point 3. Sure it does. It's answered in the FAQ, under I've configured getmail to deliver to my mbox file, but it won't do it. Why?. 7. It takes no hard work to prepare man page but it's a big convenience. Fine. You do the work, then. I already write the documentation in another format. thanks, (and sorry to post getmail's question here. I regard such filter function as a part of Using Mutt.) Don't send getmail questions to the mutt list, please. It's offtopic and annoys everyone. getmail has its own mailing list, mentioned several times in the documentation.

Just curious... Is there any reason that you're using
ls -l | awk
instead of a simple
ls -1
to build your list? The -1 shouldn't really be necessary, even, since
you're piping to an egrep, but it ensures that you'll get your output in
a column and isn't a bad idea -- and, more importantly, doesn't waste the
time on a process like awk and thus isn't a burden.

Your .gnupg/options file will have a keyserver line that will tell gpg where to go to get keys; my options file contains keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net #keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net #keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net #keyserver certserver.pgp.com #keyserver pgp.ai.mit.edu #keyserver keyserver.net #keyserver search.keyserver.net but AFAIK only one can be active so I only have the first one uncommented. % % Ben Pharr % HTH HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg! msg22859/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I would like to display a different date format for messages sent within the last 24 hours. I have a patch that does almost that: http://schrab.com/aaron/mutt/patch-1.3.24.ats.date_optional.1 That should apply to pretty much any version of mutt, since it was originally done when 0.96.6 was current. I just recently updated it to use the PATCHES file found in recent development versions. With it %?[ and %?( in index_format are treated as conditionals, if the relevant time is less than 12 hours in the past or future, the part before the next will be evaluated, otherwise the part between that and the next ? is evaluated. So, I use as my index_format: set index_format='%4C %Z %?[?%[%H:%M]%[%m/%d]? %-15.15F (%5l) %s' It would be quite simple to modify it for different periods of time. I'll also note that that index_format looks *extremely* bad with an unpatched mutt. -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~aarons/ It is easier to port a shell than a shell script. --Larry Wall msg22865/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
