Just tag all these mails, hit tag-prefix (';') and use the bounce

Well here's a feature request. I wish there were an option to have
mutt prompt you for which return address to use, being able to pick
from a menu of addresses set somewhere in the muttrc. Any
possibility?
A few months ago, some (sorry, I don't remember who) posted a patch that
adds an ask-from quadoption, which does what you're asking for in not
too many lines. It's written against 1.3.27, and I've applied it to
1.3.28 (haven't tried 1.4 yet). It's attached.

Note that when you tag-bounce all of the messages will go to the same
address. If you have messges to Alice, Bob, and Carol and you tag them
all and hit ;b (or, if you have $auto_tag set, just b) and fill in Bob's
address, they will *all* go to Bob.
Since they're in a Maildir, you already have them separated (unlike
mbox). It might be easiest to have a little for loop that goes thru the
dropped mails and re-hands each one INDIVIDUALLY to sendmail.

This may sound odd, coming from me (an always-signer), but why request
signed *or* encrypted? I can see why you'd be interested in signed mail,
but that would be an all-the time thing. Similarly, I can see why you'd
be interested in encrypted mail, but that also would be an all-the-time

signing or encryption meets your needs. If that's the case, then it
sounds as though you're just being a pgp/gpg advocate, which is good, but

The important bits in an mbox file are the ^From_ line (that's the common notation for a beginning-of-line and From and then a space, and it's importantly different from ^From:). Since you have a ^From_ line for every message (and we can say that because your mbox files currently work), a simple cat mb1 mb2 mb3 mboxall will maintain that structure. There's really nothing different except the number of messages in the resultant file -- and one thing you'll find about mutt, if you haven't already, is that very, very large numbers are no problem :-) You will note that the existing mbox files probably aren't really sorted like you see them, anyway; you can view the messages in unsorted order by going to the index and hitting 'o' (for s'o'rt) and then 'u'.

Mutt/Cygwin shortcomings
Dear all, I have been working with Mutt/Cygwin in the hopes that I would eventually move to a Linux machine, but it looks like I'm stuck for awhile on Win2000, so I thought I'd see if anyone else has solved any of its shortcomings with respect to Mutt/Linux.

However, I haven't found any installation instructions for Procmail/Cygwin. Do any Cygwin users out there have tips about any of the above? My constraint is that I am a non-programmer and will only compile from sources if forced into a tight corner, and none of these missing functionalities actually make it impossible for me to work...

Re: Color with folder-hooks and status changes
I beleive the color used depends on the *last* matching color index statement, so you might have to include the ~D, ~F, and ~T ones in your folder-hook *after* the ~f one. No amount of reordering seemed to solve the problem, I've tried N different combinations (likely missing the right one of course :) However, I have run across something that does seem to work well. The 5 commands: folder-hook . 'color index blue black !((! ~f jishac)|~T|~F|~D)' folder-hook =sent 'color index white black !((! ~f jishac)|~T|~F|~D)' color index black red ~D color index red black ~F color index magenta black ~T produce the desired effect. Mind you I didn't know how to AND things together (and a simple A B wasn't working) so I simply applied good ol' DeMorgan's Law to ((~f jishac)(! ~T)(! ~F)(! ~D)) If there is a more elegant solution, feel free to share ;) Now if only the command: color indicator red white ~F would actually be possible ... -Joseph

$mail-accept({noexit = 1}, $backup);
Sounds good. If you don't mind, let me ask one more question
(since it's absolutely essential): what about reading mail
back from a pipe? For me, it's necessary to change stuff
within a pipe (Perl, mostly ;-) and then process it as usual.
I hope I don't have to pipe mail through my filter and than
pipe it into another instance of Mail::Audit...
There is only a pipe() that would leave Mail::Audit. Yes, you would
have to re-enter it yourself.
Shouldn't be too difficult to add this though.

I couldn't find it in the Mutt manual, and interestingly, a Google search on [folder history and mutt] turns up one result: History of Shania Twain. Figure that! The edit line (at the bottom, where you type things in) maintains several histories. There's one for patterns, and one for folders. If you press T to tag things, and press the key bound to history-up (up-arrow, usually), it'll show you the last pattern you used. Same idea for folders; if you change folders, then change again, up-arrow will show you the last folder you changed to. If you set up hooks to store things into =trash, then =trash will appear in the folder history. The trash-folder patch just knows about the trash folder, so it doesn't show up in folder history. It's same same principle as with the postponed folder: you can change to it with change-folder, but if you use the built-in message recall, it doesn't show up in folder history. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

urlview
I just installed urlview and gave it a try on a message that I knew to have a few links. Sure enough it listed the links and gave an arrow that allowed me to select one of the links. When I selected, it rewrote the link down at the bottom of the screen. But after that, nothing, regardless of what keys I hit. I presumed that urlview would harvest the links in an email, display them, let me select one, and then take me to that page in a browser such as lynx. Am I incorrect in assuming that it does all this, or did I screw up something in the configuration? Thanks, Kevin
