([yes]/no): So, the mystery here is, why does Mutt think that you're changing the file behind his back? Does your editor run in parallel with Mutt, like does it launch a separate X-window for you to edit in, while in the xterm where you ran Mutt, it thinks you are finished editing? That's the only thing I can think of. I notice that the tmp directory is somewhere under the home directory so could possibly be nfs mounted - if there is a time skew between the server and the computer running mutt this could potentially cause problems too. I am having a hard time expressing exactly how this would work but I'm pretty sure I've seen something like this happen to me before. -kyle -- http://mas.cs.umass.edu/~rawlins -- To recall is to call.
Re: Configuring mutt isync for disconnected operation
This is something similar to what I've been meaning to set up for a while, and your information looks very useful. Thanks for putting it together. One note: FM claims that the homepage for isync is at: http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~me/isync/ which appears to be identical to the google cached copy of the page you link which is down. Since I've never used isync (only planned to) I have no idea which is the correct home page, but the one from fm is in existance. -kyle On Fri, Feb 22, 2002 at 03:25:25AM -0500, David G.

My mutt configuration bits are probably primitive and pathetic. * My mail needs may be unique. I hope not, but who knows. * The little patch to isync is completely unofficial, hackish, and may kill your computer, your cat, or your sanity. But anyway, if you've ever felt like using mutt, uw-imap, and isync to handle reading/refiling/deleting mail offline and resynchronizing with your primary mail store and you're security paranoid like me, it's my hope that this helps: http://www.angio.net/misc/mail.html I'd absolutely love additional suggestions for how to do this better, etc., etc. Or feel free to say, Well, duh, that's obvious and I've been doing it for years, take your page down. -Dave -- work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIT Laboratory for Computer Science http://www.angio.net/ -- http://mas.cs.umass.edu/~rawlins -- What care I how time advances?

mailboxes list
Is there some way to clear the mailbox list? i.e. the list that is added to by the 'mailboxes' command. I want to have two different sets of mailboxes (one for each mailing list) and have a keybinding to cycle through them; i.e. a set of work-related mailboxes and a set of music-related mailboxes. I find that there are times where I want to check the work related stuff and spend too much time skipping over the music mailing lists and getting distracted, and when I'm reading the less serious lists I'm rarely interested in hearing about the work stuff. I could do this with different sets of configuration files, but it seems like there should be some way to just use a command to switch lists without exiting, or without running two seperate copies of mutt. Apologies if this is something obvious that I missed. thanks, -kyle -- http://mas.cs.umass.edu/~rawlins -- I don't want the world, I just want your half.
