Re: German umlauts and alternates in Mutt.
I can only answer number 2, but alternates is a regular expression, so you have to do like ([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]) to get it to recognize two addresses. If you're being strict in your regular expression pattern, you will want to put a ^ before the ( and a $ after the ), so that the addresses are matched exactly. Hope this helps. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, Jan 18, 2001 at 09:27:41PM +0100, Jens Paulus wrote: Hi there, I have two questions. 1.) How can I configure Mutt and teach it to display German umlauts? I could not find any instructions in Mutt's manual about this topic. In the default settings, it always replaces these special characters by a question mark (`?') in the builtin pager and by a dot (`.') in the normal index and compose index. 2.) If I use "set [EMAIL PROTECTED]", Mutt considers [EMAIL PROTECTED] as one of my email addresses. But now I want Mutt consider two or more addresses as belonging to me, how can I do this? "set [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]" doesn't work. If you could give me an advice how to change these settings I would be thankful. I'm still using Mutt 1.0.1i (2000-01-18). -Jens
Re: Help with 'alternates' setting and regexes
Thank you very much; this worked perfectly. I actually put a ^( in front and a )$ at the end so that it would match only those email addresses, and I have a working alternates setting. Thanks again. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, Jan 14, 2001 at 06:44:13PM +0100, Michael Tatge wrote: Jimmy Kaplowitz muttered: I'm having trouble getting the 'alternates' variable setting to recognize who I am I use the following email addresses: Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Landas [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have tried doing: set alternates="^(Jimmy Kaplowitz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED])|Landas [EMAIL PROTECTED])$" But it doesn't recognize me. no success. Leave out the realname part. $alternates only matches your email, not your name. alternates="[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]" should work. set alternates="(Jimmy|Landas)" it recognizes me fine, but that is a little vague for my tastes. That is, because jimmy and landas are parts of the addresses you use. alternates is _not_ casesensitive. HTH, Michael -- "We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."

Help with 'alternates' setting and regexes
Hello. I am using Mutt 1.3.12, and I'm having trouble getting the 'alternates' variable setting to recognize who I am so that for my messages it shows the recipient instead of the sender, me. I use the following email addresses: Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Landas [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Landas is an online nickname.) I have tried doing: set alternates="^(Jimmy Kaplowitz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED])|Landas [EMAIL PROTECTED])$" But it doesn't recognize me. I've tried one other variation on that theme, with no success. When I do set alternates="(Jimmy|Landas)" it recognizes me fine, but that is a little vague for my tastes. For example, what if I receive a message from someone else named Jimmy? Please help me get the regexp just right so that my email addresses, and none other, are recognized as me. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
