field parsing behavior
If someone sends me an email and they don't have their name before their email address, mutt thinks that the name and the email address are the same. When it should recognize that the email address is just the email address. I noticed this because I have set attribution=Le jour %d, %n (%a) a écrit...\n and the %n is the same as %a. So when I'm replying it's Le jour ~~, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) a écrit... Which is bad French, but that's irrelevant here. Or I could be doing it completely wrong. tw -- tw

I just had to write a wrapper so I could have gkrellm call mutt. Originally mutt
would pop up, but be in mono. So my wrapper is as follows

wait 1;
export TERM=xterm-color;

seems to work...

'mono' configuration options these immediately began working. I don't see
anything in the manual or man pages related to forcing mutt to use the color
options rather than the mono ones. I've tried switching my TERM from xterm to
vt100 just out of curiosity, but of course that didn't do anything. What's up?
How can I get this going?
I don't know what OS you are on, but under Solaris, the only term that
would work to get color was dtterm. I figured this out since color
would work in the CDE Terminal, but not under any other, with whatever
other term settings I tried.

This may be what is throwing off the TERM var. Because when I comment out the
wait line, mutt comes up in mono again.
any suggestions?

it almost sounds like this could be set in the .bashrc,
.tcshrc, or whatever the shell that you are using, no?
i've never used gkrellm, but does it not set TERM variable
at all? if it does, then you can put it a small condition to
reset it to something more appropriate in your startup file.
just a suggestion,

Re: Color
I think you're confused as to what gkrellm is. The website is www.gkrellm.net
Essentially it's a system monitor that has the capability to check mail (as well
as a few other things), either locally or remotely. In my case I have it call
'fetchmail' every 10 minutes. It checks my local mailbox every 5 seconds for new
mail. When there's mail I have the option of calling a mail reader. So I pop up
an Eterm and run mutt.
Thus, there would not be a TERM=gkrellm; it doesn't make sense.

maybe something along the lines of

TERM=xterm-color
elif [ $TERM = gkrellm ]; then
TERM=xterm-color

i am not too good with bash in general. i just go try to
figure out things i need wheni need them :)
also, check what $TERM var says when you log in using your
gkrellm. that test in 'elif' may need to be modified if TERM
is not gkrellm
also, neither do i know if this is an *official* bash way,
but things like these work in my startup files, even though
maybe they disgust people who really know bash :)

Re: smtp server config?
If you look at the headers from this mailing list you'll see that it uses qmail. I personally chose qmail because I needed something that fetchmail could connect to (ie. a mail system listening on port 25 (smtp)). My original setup was with ssmtp, but the ability to recieve mail directly to one's computer is way to cool to settle for ssmtp. In anycase qmail allows for more flexibility (hence configurability) besides the fact that it claims that it "makes sendmail obsolete" (http://www.qmail.org). tw Le jour Mon Apr 16, 2001 at 06:24:26PM -0700, Joe Copeland ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) a crit...

Re: fetchmail mutt
I think you would want to install qmail or some other mail system that is setup to "listen" on port 25 (smtp). That way fetchmail can run the way it was intended. tw Le jour Sun Apr 15, 2001 at 03:38:40PM -0700, Dave Murray ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) a crit... I'm hopeing that someone that uses fetchmail with mutt can help. 1. without [and want mda/bsmtp "/path"] fetch times out while trying to read. 2. with [and want mda "/path"] fetch gives a no write permission error. 3. with [and want bsmtp "/path"] it fetches the mail but mutt can't look at it. I can view it with emacs, it's the mail but not a folder that mutt can read. How do I get it to fetch mail into a folder that mutt can read? Regards, Dave
Re: [OT] well slightly

[OT] well slightly
I just recently got an email from my sister an noticed that Netscape puts an X-Mailer in the header. This started a mini-quest to get the equivalent into mine. I delved into the man pages of grep, sed and awk only to find that my best solution came from you guys from my last question concerning the X-Operating-System problem. The resulting line from that was my_hdr X-Operating-System: `uname -rsm` `uptime | sed s/.*up/up/ | sed s/,[[:space:]0-9]*users.*$//` so I adopted it to my_hdr X-Mailer: `mutt -v| grep Mutt -n|grep 1:|sed s/.*Mutt/Mutt/` As you can see this is a round about way of doing it... But it also leaves on the day I compiled this version of Mutt. What would be the best way to chop that date off? thanks, tw

Re: Mutt, procmail, and sendmail [OT request]
There should not be a space between `` because uptime includes a space. Actually I wish uptime had better formatting. They have two spaces before the amount of users and two spaces before load average (as well as a few others). If there is a way to remedy this, I'd be much obliged.

Is there a way to tag messages before they're saved in the "mbox" or which ever mail box? There have been a few instances where I did/don't have enough time to reply to the message but would like to write myself a note as to what the reply should contain. Another application would be if the sender didn't leave a descriptive enough subject and one would want to append some personal reminders. thanks, tw
