Re: Mutt and NNTP on Debian
From the keyboard of Frederik, Hi, it seems there are a few possibilities to enable mutt to read newsgroups, but these require patching the source. Since I'm a Debian user, I'd like to be able to make a .deb from the patched version. If I apply the patch http://mutt.kiev.ua/download/mutt-1.3.22.1/patch-1.3.22.1.vvv.nntp.gz to the build-dir, it shows some errors, so I didn't proceed. Are there any debian users on the list having succeeded applying this patch and making a deb? Yo. Last time I did it was 1.3.20 for unstable. take a look at: ftp.links2linux.de/pub/packman/debian/ bye Waldemar
archiv IMAP
Hello *,
I'm using Mutt in combination with IMAP/SSL (Courier).
It works quite well since 2 month's.
Now I want to archive old mail's in mailinglists, works with
this macro:
macro index F6 T ~d1w\n;s\n Save messages older than a week
Then I automated this behavior:
folder-hook mailbox 'push F6'
But there is one problem left, when the tagging did not match,
the actual mail in the mailbox is marked as deleted/saved.
Bruno Postle mentioned the same behavior yesterday.
O.k. it is only one key ('u') to solve this manually.
Is this a bug?
bye
