Can't see sentmail file of 2Gb

2012-01-04 Thread Chris Green
This had me *really* confused for a while, my sentmail disappeared.

I finally realised that the file was 2Gb and reducing this has fixed
the problem.

Re: Can't see sentmail file of 2Gb - no, it's 200Mb or so

Actually it's not 2Gb, it's some figure above 200Mb:-

The file which was invisible:-

-rw-rw-r-- 1 chris chris   1183926 2012-01-02 16:33 mairix
-rw-r--r-- 1 chris chris 221289008 2012-01-04 11:49 sentmail

Reducing it as follows made it visible:-

-rw-rw-r-- 1 chris chris   1183926 2012-01-02 16:33 mairix
-rw-r--r-- 1 chris chris 220663517 2012-01-04 12:16 sentmail

As I said it had me really confused for a while as when I navigated (in
mutt) to the directory where those two files were it showed me nothing
(the mairix file didn't appear either).  I checked permissions and all
sorts before I guessed it was the size, lucky I didn't realise it was
actually 200Mb rather than 2Gb as I might not have realised it was
significant.

I just manually edited the file using vi[le] to delete the first few
tens of messages.  I've cleared some more out since.

Can't seem to set/change To: header with my_hdr

2012-01-04 Thread Chris Green
I am trying to change the To: address of some messages with a send-hook
and failing completely.

I already have a pair of send-hook commands that work for all lists:-

send-hook .  'my_hdr From: Chris Green ch...@isbd.co.uk'
send-hook ~l 'my_hdr From: Chris Green c...@isbd.net'

This sets the From: address for lists as I want it to.

So, after failing with more complex send-hook commands for setting the
To: address I just did:-

send-hook .  'my_hdr From: Chris Green ch...@isbd.co.uk'
send-hook ~l 'my_hdr From: Chris Green c...@isbd.net'
send-hook ~l 'my_hdr To: ch...@halon.org.uk'

So *all* list replies should get that To: header added, and they don't,
or at least they don't seem to.

Re: flags on re-edited message

2012-01-04 Thread Luis Mochan
Well, I found today that if I remove the New flag, the Read flag
becomes visible if I had read the original message, so that flag is
not actually lost, but only hidden by the New flag. Thus, I have now a
reasonable solution: I can tag all my X-labelled and unread messages
and toogle the New flag of all of them.

 Hello,
 After I re-edit a message I have sent or a message I have received,
 usually to set or modify the X-Labels header, I loose the flags of the
 message. For example, if I read a message, reply to it and later edit
 it to set its X-Labels, the original message is marked for deletion
 and the new message is marked... New. I would like the new message in
 this example to be marked as read and replied-to. Is there a way to
 keep the old flags in the newwly edited message?
 Thanks and best regards,

Mistake: I meant 'replied' instead of 'read' flag.

Hi,

I work with mutt 1.5.21
When I use index, there are some shortcuts who doesn't works in pager.
For example in the pager esc t doesn't tag messages from threads...

Is it normal ?
