muttprofile (new)
Hello, I did some changes to Muttprofile (originally written by Martti Rahkila). Basically I just added a small GUI to make it look similar to Mutt's internal view of aliases, but for profiles then. I know Mutt is very good with different hooks for different mailboxes etc, but sometimes it's useable to have a selection of different profiles, and then I wanted it to work like it's part of Mutt. Check it out at the url below if you're interested, there's also a screenshot demonstrating how it looks like. http://ratblast.net/muttprofile cheers, rikard

Anyone else interested in hacking some perl? speaking for myself I have way too little experience of Perl to be part of something like this. I just hacked around a bit and I think I better spare the world any other treatments coming from my side... ;) although, sounds like a cool idea otherwise and I would gladly see development of Muttprofile continued. I just think that I've brought it as far as I can for now. I just recently converted from Pine to Mutt and I feel totally in love every time I use it! cheers, rikard

Packaging mutt script, was: muttprofile (new)
Hello, in the .muttprofile(new) Kevin said: in general though it would be nice to have a lot of these scripts distributed with mutt. and if need be for dependancies packagers could have mutt-perl, mutt-python, etc packages so that the main mutt package wouldn't depend on any interpreters (which seems to really piss people off for some moronic reason or another). Both personally, and as leader of the RULE project (see below) I would really appreciate something like this, i.e. one package, to be eventually delivered as .rpm, .deb, .tgz, whatever, that collects *all* these things. The problem with mutt is that it is indeed the most powerful MUA available, but this depends quite strongly from having already discovered and set up all the utilities mentioned here today and on the main mutt sites. A package like this would not certainly spare from RTFM, but would save a lot of time, and make the transition from pompous mailers much faster and easier! Myself, I volunteer to test/maintain the RPM version for RULE! Ciao, Marco Fioretti Red Hat 7.3 for low memory: www.rule-projects.org/

You're welcome to take on that task for whatever OSes projects you see fit, but I don't think that it's fair to ask the mutt maintainers to do this for every OS under the sun. No, the original mutt tarball should stick to only code that is specific to mutt, and if it requires or can make use of anything else, that should be made clear in the documentation and in the configure script.

Brad, I agree, the utils must remain separate (for that matter, several of them are not even mutt specific...). See what I answered yesterday to Sven in the message Re: utilities - extra archive. In general, I believe in many small packages, not big monolithic things. Note about every OS under the sun. 80% of the utilities we probably want to include are shell or Perl script: the difference between versions for RH versus Debian versus *BSD versus Solaris . should really be quite manageable in this case, shouldn't they. And, in any case, a burden for the maintainers of this *separate* package, not for those of mutt. What about a home page? Is something like this worth a sourceforge URL? If not, I can set up some temp space on the RULE site (where I would eventually talk of this package anyway).
