Re: dynamic headers
IIRC I was able to see my new header, so try setting up your .muttrc with the simple `` method and see if that puts 'em in. Nope. That doesn't work either. You might also try turning on edit_hdrs, since I *know* that I was able to selectively delete the headers from emails that didn't want them... This does work. I do see my custom header with edit_headers. But I don't really like edit_headers. It would be great if I could see the header after composing my message.

I'm not sure if you can do it with a simple call to my_hdr (I doubt that), but it should be possible to have something like: send-hook . 'my_hdr Reply-To: `your_perl_script.pl`' ... which will execute the above hook command for every new email. If you get the quoting level right, the command in the backtics (`) will be re-invoked for each email, giving you a different output for each email. Note that the above may not be the right level of quoting, I didn't test it in any way, you may need to experiment a bit to get it working. Also remember that the script needs to print out a \n at the end, or Mutt won't recognize the output. Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

'my_hdr X-Wedding-Time: `wed.one`' You got it right, Mikko. See the example from my .muttrc (which I'm no longer using, BTW, which is why you don't see it in these headers). The Date never changes, so I can set that statically. The Time, however, should be updated freshly with every new email, so I put it in '' to make it evaluate at call time. [Without, wed.one gets run only when I start mutt or otherwise source my.muttrc file.] % % Also remember that the script needs to print out a \n at the end, or % Mutt won't recognize the output. % % % Hope this helps, What he said :-) % Mikko % -- % // Mikko Hänninen, aka.
