color about w3m viewing in mutt
Hi. I use w3m as an external program to view html mails in mutt. I
have the following in my mailcap
text/html; w3m -T text/html -I %{charset} -dump %s;
nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput
This works very well for me because w3m can handle the charset problem
very well. However, there is another problem--- if I use w3m to view
a website directly from terminal, then the w3m will mark any contents
which contain a url link as blue. This is very convenient. But if I
load w3m inside mutt, then w3m doesn't mark the url link as blue.
Sometimes I just missed the url in the mails my friend sent to me. I
can use urlview but sometimes the mail itself contains lots of useless
url. For lynx it simple mark a [number] next to the url so I can clear
see there is a url there. The only problem about lynx is it cannot
handle Chinese very well so I cannot use it :( Is there anyway to make
w3m to mark url as blue even it is loaded from mutt? Thanks.

Because you w3m -dump to standard output -- or in this case to
Mutt's pager.
Okay I see, thanks.
With lynx -dump? I doubt it.
I use
text/html; lynx -dump -force_html -assume-charset=%{charset} %s;
needsterminal; copiousoutput;
in the mailcap and set autoview. Yes here I can see the [1] [2] [3]
next to the hyperlink. But one reason I cannot use lynx is
because I read lots of Chines emails everyday and the lynx seems to
support chinese charset very poorly :(
text/html; w3m -F -T text/html %s; nametemplate=%s.html; needsterminal
and do view-attachments (bound to v by default), and then,
after selecting the html attachment view-mailcap (bound to m
by default).
I like this very much. But for me there is still some drawback, the
%{charset} is lost :(
Is there any possibility if I set autoview as off, and when I read an
email, I can press a macro to activate autoview with a specific mime
in my mailcap. For example, when I saw an email which contains lots of
url and is in English, then I press a key K1 so the autoview of lynx
pops up, if it is in Chinese then I can use w3m autoview by key K2
Thanks a lot

I just found a maybe-stupid way to do this trick, I use a program
called elinks, along with iconv
in my mailcap I set
text/html; elinks -dump %s|iconv -f %{charset} -t utf-8 %s| elinks
%s;copiousoutput;
I use elinks because it looks to have better rendering effect. Thank
you for reminding me to use pipe---this works for me but I am not
sure I was correct, I just did some try and found occasionally it
worked for me. Please correct me if I made any mistake. Thanks.

Oops, you're right, I was fixated on link coloring, sorry.

Try your local charset for w3m's -I option, Mutt seems to decode
the attachment before writing it to the temporary file:
text/html; w3m -F -I UTF-8 -T text/html %s; nametemplate=%s.html; needsterminal
where my $LANG is UTF-8. This also seems to work, and is more
flexible:
text/html; w3m -F -I `echo $LANG | cut -d '.' -f 2` -T text/html %s;
nametemplate=%s.html; needsterminal

Mmh, you could create an addional mailcap file and toggle the
$mailcap_path variable. Try the following (untested):
set my_lynx_cap=/path/to/lynxmailcap
macro pager K1 \
enter-command set my_mailcap_path=\$mailcap_path
mailcap_path=$my_lynx_capenter\
exitdisplay-message\
enter-command set mailcap_path=\$my_mailcap_path my_mailcap_pathenter \

mutt and gpg not in tune
hello all, gpg and mutt used to work fine. now mutt won't find any public keys anymore. I have run the following tests: beginn gpg-test--- j...@herb:~$ cat test.txt this is the content of test.txt j...@herb:~$ gpg -se -r Markus test.txt [prompted to enter my passphase] pub 2048g/0F663F56 2009-07-17 Markus Dxxx x...@ari.uni-heidelberg.de [...] j...@herb:~$ gpg -d test.txt.gpg [prompted to enter my passphase] gpg: verschlüsselt mit 2048-Bit ELG-E Schlüssel, ID 0F663F56, erzeugt 2009-07-17 Markus Dxxx x...@ari.uni-heidelberg.de gpg: verschlüsselt mit 2048-Bit ELG-E Schlüssel, ID A9EEDA47, erzeugt 2008-11-30 Jan-Herbert Damm (email-verschlüsselung) jan-h-d...@web.de this is the content of test.txt [...] end gpg-tests Thus i reckon that gpg is working, though i am confused why i can decrypt the testfile when i encrypted it with somebody elses pub-key. In my muttrc I have: ---beginn muttrc--- set pgp_timeout=1800 set pgp_replyencrypt=yes set pgp_sign_as=FA5B6661 set crypt_replyencrypt=yes set crypt_replysignencrypted source /etc/Muttrc.d/gpg.rc end muttrc--- gpg.rc is is a standard ubuntu preinstalled file which has worked before. It contains this line that seems to not be working correctly: set pgp_encrypt_sign_command=/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap gpg %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f I am at a loss of how to go about analyzing what's going wrong here. If someone could tell me what else to try i am very grateful. jan

Thanks a lot for such detailed and patient instructions. I just tested
again the pipe method I sent to the maillist and I apologized I was
totally out of track. Actually the following should be the correct
text/html; cat %s | iconv -f %{charset} -t utf-8 | elinks ; copiousoutput;
But this has a drawback--- If I press v to view the attachments and
choose to view the text/html attachment then there will be a
mistake-- I guess here the pipe is not allowed. But it is not a big
problem because I guess very few people need to view html message in
this way. Also I didn't use lynx because for I don't why but among all
text-based web-brower I tested, elinks is the only one can recognize
pipe input as a url page and gives out the correct page.
So I guess I need your suggestion to toggle different application to
view html in attachment. I will test it later. Thanks a lot for the
suggestion:)

The pipe is allowed here. If you are getting an error message from
using that rule, the problem is something other than the pipe. The
problem could be the semicolon after copiousoutput--you don't need a
semicolon at the end of the line, only between terms, but I haven't
checked whether having one at the end of the line is an error.
But it is not a big problem because I guess very few people need
to view html message in this way. Also I didn't use lynx because
for I don't why but among all text-based web-brower I tested,

and gives out the correct page.
You sometimes need to tell w3m that the input is HTML by using the
-T text/html option.

VIM Color Syntax
I know this is a little off topic for this list, but my latest update from Ubuntu resulted in color syntax in vim for reply messages in Mutt to disappear. Now everything is the default console green. Any ideas? -- Chuck Smith signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I think I just missed needsterminal; here to make sure the pipe works well. You sometimes need to tell w3m that the input is HTML by using the -T text/html option. Wooo. Thanks for this. I just realized another issue about lynx/elinks--- if they add a [number] before urls in a html email view, then reply to the sender will bring those [numbers] into the quotes, which is not desired :( On the other hand w3m doesn't have this issue. Really frustrating. Thank you. Regards, Gary
Mark messages as replied
Dear mutt users, I am using mutt since years and love it. Still, sometimes it happens to me, that I am beginning to reply to a message, I save it as a draft, continue to edit it and send it at some moment. Then sometimes it happens that the message I am replying to is not marked as read. I am not sure about the exact circumstances when this happens. Still I would like to make mutt to mark these messages as ready automatically or to mark them as ready manually. Is there a way to mark messages as read manually? Best, Udo.

When in the Index Menu (the view that shows the messages in the current mailbox) or in the Pager, type 'w' to set a status flag or 'W' to clear a status flag. Each command shows the list of available flags. You can find the meaning of the flags in the mutt manual. In your case, you probably want to clear the 'N' (New) flag. Alternatively, you can toggle the state of the New flag when you're in the Index Menu by typing 'N'. You can get a list of these and other commands by typing '?' in any menu. You can find out more about message status flags in the mutt manual in the section The Message Index and in the table of Message status flags. Regards, Gary
