editing mails, then save it instead of sending
I use mutt since some months and has all the features I can imagine. Great. But one thing I am missing: Sometimes I want to edit a mail, and then save it. I think it is only possible to edit and resend it. (OK, I could resent it to myself, but that's not a nice solution) Has someone an solution? -- Thomas Guettler Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.interface-business.de Private:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yi.org/guettli

Thomas Guettler proclaimed on mutt-users that: mail, and then save it. I think it is only possible to edit and resend it. (OK, I could resent it to myself, but that's not a nice solution) Has someone an solution? You can postpone messages. mallet@mjollnir~ grep postpone .muttrc set postponed=+postponed# mailbox to store postponed messages set recall # prompt to recall postponed messages -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do.

Actually, the same functionality is in 1.0.1 too, when you select a message for "edit and resend", you can use the w(rite) command to write it back to the folder. After that you can then quit the message without sending it. But the edit-message function in 1.2.5 is much nicer. Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

As for the truth about his health: I have asked around about it. I am told that he appears to be strong and rosy, and steadily sane. But we will be doing what he wants us to do, I think, if we consider his exterior a sort of Dorian Gray facade. Inwardly, he is being eaten alive by tinhorn politicians. The disease is fatal. There is no known cure. The most we can do for the poor devil, it seems to me, is to name his disease in his honor. From this moment on, let all those who feel that Americans can be as easily led to beauty as to ugliness, to truth as to public relations, to joy as to bitterness, be said to be suffering from Hunter Thompson's disease.

Sure, esc-e (the default key binding for it anyway), the function is called resend-message. The original 1.0 functionality was useful, but it had two features combined into one function: sending an email using an existing email as a base, and editing an existing email. By splitting the features into separate functions (edit-message, resend-message) they both work better. Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.
