Hi

Use tagging.

For example, if your key bindings are the default: 

Key Function
t   tag
... as many times as necessary ...
ts  tagsave (Tag-save)

Then choose your folder. You can automatically tag several messages at
once with 

T   tag-pattern

Read the manual for patterns. They are basically regular expressions, but
you have tilde (~) expansions for from (~f) To (~t) etc.

How does mutt send mail?

2002-05-07 Thread John Poltorak

I'm trying to discover why mutt seems to take so much longer to send an 
email after I moved my mail server to a different machine, but I can't 
work out how mutt interacts with sendmail...


Looking through the mutt executable, I can't see any references to 
sendmail. My .muttrc does not contain any active references to sendmail, 
although a few are commented out.

So, it's a mystery to me how mutt invokes sendmail.

Can anyone explain it?

I am using an old version of mutt under OS/2, but I would expect the 
normal process for sending mail to be the same...

It calls it as most programs do, via /path/to/sendmail (options)

I don't know what the default options are, but you can force them in
.muttrc with

set sendmail=/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem 

Or whatever else you want.

 It might be related to DNS lookup.  Depending on the configuration of the
 machine, it might try to look up the destination address to check that it
 exists, before accepting the mail.  If the machine is on an intermittent
 (e.g. dialup) internet link, or the connection is slow, it might take
 longer to do this.

I suspect it is a DNS lookup problem, but would like to confirm this 
before investigating further. I have an ADSL connection to the Internet 
which is reliable, so I'm not really sure why I should have a problem at 
all. Maybe the resolver isn't set up properly...

ailasing mailboxes

2002-05-07 Thread Dan Boger

Is it possible to alias a mailbox?  I often need to save messages to a
remote IMAP box...

example...  my mail is all stored in imaps://dan@localhost/...

once in a while, I need to save a message to
imaps://user@localhost/path/to/box

typing it manually every time is no fun...  but what other options do I
have?  do I need to write macros for saving a message, saving all tagged
messages, changing to that folder, etc?  is there no way to magically
make mbx always expand to imaps://... in every prompt?

I'm not asking for much, am I? *grin*

fcc rules for tmda addresses

2002-05-07 Thread David T-G

Hi, all --

Now that some folks have discovered tmda and are sending mail with dated
return addresses (like davidtg-dated-somelongencryptedstring), saving
those messages gets to be tricky.  Has anyone come up with a way to tell
mutt to save an address of the form

  .*-dated-.*

as just the first pattern (eg davidtg above)?

special treatment for bcc:'s

2002-05-07 Thread Tobias Kirchhofer

Hi, i am currently switching from mulberry to mutt. Mulberry has a
nice feature. I can configure a special text which is automatically
mixed in the mail body for the bcc:'s.

Something like:

IMPORTANT! This message has been blind-carbon-copied to you.
Do not reply-to-all or forward it without the author's permission.

Anybody with an fast idea how to do this in mutt?

So this shows up in the mail that the Bcc: recipient receives but not in
the mail for any To: or Cc: recipients or your own saved copy, then?


% 
% Anybody with an fast idea how to do this in mutt?

Well, technically it's not really a copy if the message has been changed;
it's a different message.  At the very least, it will wreak havoc with
digital signatures.

However, you might try playing with a wrapper script around your MTA,
which you'll call from $sendmail, which catches the message and sends
the unmodified form on with the To: and Cc: headers and then sends a
modified form on with the Bcc: header.

Run mutt with the '-v' option. It should list its default

No, as fcc is a string containing the path to a mailbox, it's
not really possible (without any patch). If you have procmail,
why not set a BCC to a local address, strip it of save to your
location?

Btw, there may also be other 'mutations' of those addresses.
