I'd rather like to read some more characters of the subject itself ;-) A few days ago there was a discussion right here about exactly the same topic. Umm, I was just wondering, that what are you talking about? :-) I mean, this whole Subject-header shown in *browser*. Isn't browser the thing, when you navigate mailboxes? I don't see how there can be Subject-header shown there. Still, this drew my attention... do you care to explain this a bit further, so I'd understand too? Well, I know that there isn't (at least for me) any header shown in the browser. So, I guess, he was talking about the index and a '[listname]' prefix in subject lines which he wants to remove. And that was discussed here a few days ago. Cheers, Rocco.

mails not marked new
Hi, I see something strange. I have $delete set to 'ask-yes' for mail and to 'yes' for nntp. I read mail more often than news so I'm used to press 'y' after selecting another mail folder. If I'm in a hurry I sometimes also press 'y' when changing newsgroups, allthough it's not necessary. What I don't understand is why mutt, in this special case, marks all new articles to old and read. If I don't press 'y' (while mutt updates the newsgroup cache and fetches the list of articles) all new articles are marked as new. I think I also saw the same with regular mbox files. If somebody has an explanation... Cheers, Rocco.
folder-hook and push conflicts with imap?
here's a weird error I ran into... I have the following settings: set spoolfile=imaps://user@box/ folder-hook . 'push delete-pattern~=\n' now, when I start up mutt, instead of being prompted for the password for my account, I just get an error (login failed, I think). So I tried mutt -f imaps://box/ and got the following: Password for userdelete-pattern~=@box: which of course, fails to log me in. This is a bug with the folder hook, right? it probably shouldn't be run until _after_ the login completes... or am I missing something obvious?

Couldn't the indexing database be run once and then only on *new* messages, after fetchmail/procmail have delivered them? This should not be noticeable, should it? You have to keep it outside procmail to make it more flexible (also, procmail itself is already too slow). Depending on what exactly you want to index, I think you'll notice it. The indexing database engine also has the enormous advantage that you can index every text file, not just email. You can also on-demand translate between the mail and the text file index. This way it would be easier to integrate a mail index into every other database rather than converting the existing database (allthough it maybe slows down search).

An indexer can run as a separate background process, trawling the filesystem for new data.

That would be a good strategy, so long as procmail is the only local delivery agent. You would still need to keep track of messages you create or move with mutt though.

Wrap it in a script like this one:

You still have to tweak mutt to call the wrapper, which should say something like:
#!/bin/sh
# timedout gpg caller
exec timeout 10 gpg ${1+$@}
to do a 10 second timeout.

I don't use xv in autoview; instead I have a binding for the attachments view
to launch xv with a single keystroke (n). My autoview setting is this:
image/jpg; imsize %s | sed 's/ /x/'; copiousoutput
and likewise for the other image types (hmm, btw does image/* work?).
This basicly reports the image dimensions in the autoview.
The attachment key binding is this:
macro attach n search\\.(jpe?g|png)enterview-attach
which skips to the first JPEG and runs the viewer (xv for you from your mailcap).

Re: gpg return mangling display
Hold down the Control key, then press the L key. You might want to rebind all of the keys which might invoke gpg to also press CTRL-L for you, for convenience (use macros). Mr. Park suggested privately stuffing a refresh into keyboard macros, and rebinding any key that might call a pgp command to those macros. Is that the only way to stuff a refresh into the necessary location? It seems like overkill.
