send-hook and different email accounts
ciao! i'm using mutt with two different email accounts. generally i use the first one but i need to use the second to send email to the university so i set the following send-hook: unhook send-hook unhook send2-hook send-hook . unmy_hdr From Reply-To send-hook . 'set sendmail=~/bin/msmtpQ -a gmail; \ set from = Marco Giusti [EMAIL PROTECTED]; \ my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' send-hook .*unibo\.it 'set sendmail=~/bin/msmtpQ -a hermes; \ set from = Marco Giusti [EMAIL PROTECTED] my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' with this configuration i got a strange behavior i follow these steps: 1. send emails to a generic addresses. no problem at all 2. send an email to .unibo.it. no problem, all the headers are set correclty 3. send an email to a generic address. now the headers and the variables are set to the previous values ie. unibo.it account why i got this? it's my fault or a mutt's bug? how can i achieve the behaviour needed? thanks for your help marco ps. follow some mutt infos if you need it, anyway is a debian/lenny package Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Copyright (C) 1996-2008 Michael R.

Right, my_hdr From overrides $reverse_name, which usually isn't desired. That's why it's nice to set $from instead. IMHO there is still a tiny problem because it's impossible to determine in a hook (send-hook or send2-hook) what the final From value is, based on the combination of $reverse_name and $from. That's a bit frustrating to me because I'd like to make some other settings based on that value. Aron

Re: Save to a file problem (wrapped with =)
I have a very basic imap mutt setup to receive emails. However, when I try to save an email to a file, lines longer than 72 characters are wrapped with a = added at the end. I can view the long lines just fine, but the saved file is wrapped. When messages are saved to a file (using the save-message command), they're saved in mbox format, which is pretty close to the raw message---and the RFCs strongly encourage that messages be wrapped to 72 characters. I guess my point is: it's doing that on purpose... what exactly is it that you're trying to achieve? There's probably a better way to achieve it Thank you so much for the explanation, Kyle. I want to save the message as it is, being not wrapped. Is there a way to do that? The reason is that I was trying to save a patch for the Linux kernel. If the patch if wrapped, then it can't be applied anymore. BTW, is there a way to save just the message (excluding the from addr, subject, etc.)? Thanks a lot. Lin

Re: where does it search
Bill, Something which is undocumented, as far as I can see, is that when working with an IMAP mail store you can search conduct the search on the server. If you do a /~b it will have to download all the messages to do the search. If you replace '~' with '=' in your search pattern (e.g. /=b foo) it will compile a search function and send it to the server. This should really make it into the manual as it's very important for IMAP users. -Vance On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 12:03:12AM +0800, bill lam wrote: } In index page, / or T can search a pattern or regex, and there are } modifiers like ~h ~b to force searching inside header or body etc. } But what is the context for searching without any such modifiers, does } it search the header or body or just what is visible of the index } screen?

Then I quit that mutt and started a new one like this: mutt -F /dev/null -f test_folder I executed all the configuration commands you listed above. Then I saved the message again using v and s.

Re: mutt eats tabs
I used command mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] patch to send myself an email. And then I used mutt v and s command to save it as a file, say patch.saved. I noticed that all the tabs in file patch are replaced by blanks in patch.saved. I tested that the patch can be applied correctly but the patch.saved can not. Then I manually replaced all the blanks in patch.saved with tabs, and then it can be applied without an error. my muttrc file is only a few lines: set send_charset=us-ascii:utf-8 set editor=vi set spoolfile=imaps://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:993/INBOX set folder=imaps://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:993 # Default From: my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the clear description.

Thank you so much for the effort in replicating my problem. I am using the latest stable 1.4.2.3 version. I will try 1.5.17. Would you mind me sending you (not the mailing list) a small patch file, and you can see if it contains tabs? Maybe this way, we can at least figure out if the problem is in the sending process or the receiving process. Lin
Re: mutt eats tabs
Never mind, I just checked that the patch sent out contains tabs. So there must be something wrong with the saving process. Thanks anyways. -- Lin On Thu, 25 Sep 2008, Lin Tan wrote: I used command mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] patch to send myself an email.

I dont ahve $imap_keepalive set.

So you want me to have this : $timeout=15 $imap_keepalive=10 That's awfully small. You can make them bigger (e.g. timeout=300, imap_keepalive=60, or even larger). I know the man page makes it sound like timeout really needs to be extra small, but don't sweat it. The default is 600, and you generally don't really need it anywhere near as small as 15. Think about that: that's potentially checking your email every 15 seconds. Depending on the number of mailboxes you have and the latency of your connection, it could easily take longer than that to complete a check for mail! I know mail admins that get grumpy when people check their email even every 5 minutes, due to all the network traffic they generate. When you're checking a file on disk, well, you can check that pretty dang often without a performance effect. But over the network? You may be causing your own problem by having such small timeouts. Generally, I would say: stick with the default values unless you have a reason to change them (the defaults weren't chosen by morons). Chances are, you can probably leave $timeout at 600. Give the defaults a try, and go from there. ~Kyle - -- What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me.

Re: Help Reqd in mutt
Hi Can any body help me for the points 1 and 5. * Thanks for a Quick Response... For Point 1 . Its not giving any error but mail is not sent. How to know the error. How to de-bug such things.. How is mutt configured to send mail? What's the value of $sendmail and/or $smtp_url ANSWER : echo $sendmail sendmail: Undefined variable. stage2qa018 25 /x/web/STAGE2QA018/batch echo $sendmail sendmail: Undefined variable. stage2qa018 26 /x/web/STAGE2QA018/batch For Point 4,and 5 my requirement is on successful sending of the Files only I need to move the files from the current folder to Sent/ folder.

Its not giving any error but mail is not sent. How to know the error. How to de-bug such things. eg mutt -a file1 -a file2 -s Sample Subject mail Id How is mutt configured to send mail? What's the value of $sendmail and/or $smtp_url? 2 . Is there any command to send a list of files as attachments ? Instead of prefixing -a to each file ? To quote the man page: -a file [...] Attach a file to your message using MIME. To attach multiple files, separating filenames and recipient addresses with -- is mandatory, e.g. mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2 3. I need to send the contents of a file as Message body. How.? Use the file as input, like so: mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] message.txt That's in the mutt man page too. 4. What does mutt command returns.? You could find that out by just trying a test message... 5. I need to move the list of files once the mail is sent ...ie. In the above command eg mutt -a file1 -a file2 -s Sample Subject mail Id Once the mails are sent I need to move file1, file2 to a different folder. Well, mutt won't move them, but you can do it all by yourself: mutt -s subject -a file1 file2 body.txt \ mv file1 file2 folder/ Is there some reason you don't want to do that? A lot of this you can find out by just thumbing through the documentation. ~Kyle - -- Time goes, you say? Ah no!
