Can there be too many color definitions?

Hi! I've got a strange problem. After I updated to Mutt v1.0 ((1999-10-22) (the Debian package 1.0.0-2) all my colors were mixed around. After playing around quite a bit I found that I have to comment out the following lines in /etc/Muttrc: color hdrdefault cyan black color quoted green

Re: Can there be too many color definitions?

Debian's /etc/Muttrc is a complete disaster in my experience. It almost put me off mutt when I first tried it. It's probably a good idea to delete the file altogether. Hm, good idea, but that doesn't answer whether I found a bug in mutt. Any developers reading this? Ciao, Andy. --

Re: Mutt silently ignores color definitions. I'd call it a bug!

I had many problems with colors when I first started using mutt. Who doesn't? :-) I was using some old version of ncurses then. So, you are saying, it's not mutt's fault at all? Doesn't mutt have any chance to check whether ncurses/slang accepted the defined colors? (Actually, even now I do

Re: uncolor index *

The Subject is to be specified before the addresses... Oops, you are so right. Funny it worked anyway. In line 79 of ~/.mutt/color I've got this: uncolor index "*" which is a documented command. How about this (no quotes): uncolor index * Nope, same errors. I tried uncolor index

Content-Disposition

Hi! When I send a mail with a JPG-attachment to a friend that uses the netscape mailer, the picture does not get displayed inline, but when I use netscape to send this mail, it does get displayed inline. So, I compared the two mails and found that mutt writes: Content-Disposition: attachment

Re: Content-Disposition

No, it's currently not possible, unfortunately. Too bad. Wouldn't a variable like "disposition-default" be a good idea? Are any developers listening here? :-) Or maybe an extension to mailcap like copiousoutput, or like netscape is doing it with the "x-mozilla-flags"? Andy. -- E-Mail:
