[nmh-workers] aerc MUA

A friend has pointed me to aerc [1], whose marketing is better than that of than nmh but nowhere near that of Superhuman. One of its poor marketing choices was to be honest about its mortal origins and to release the interesting features as reusable scripts [2], precluding consumers from finding

[nmh-workers] Autocrypt

2018-04-26 Thread Thomas Levine
I have been meaning to implement Autocrypt [1] in my nmh configuration, but I still haven't gotten around to it, so I distribute my plans in case someone else is more ambitious. Basic idea is call muacrypt or pyac on files in the mh folders. Perhaps the certificates could be stored somewhere in

[Nmh-workers] Using different transport methods depending on receipient

2018-02-19 Thread Thomas Levine
I usually send emails through my mail provider's SMTP server, but I sometimes send mail to my local computer. How could I specify that the manner of sending should depend on the recipient? At present, since I haven't figured this out, I use a separate MUA when I want to send local mail. --

Out of curiousity, I asked whether this is possible in fossil. It isn't. https://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg26073.html So there's a good chance that it isn't possible in git either. -- Nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

Hah Since I didn't see that, then I doubt that further usability design on this topic could have helped much. What's more, even without a note, I eventually would have found the NEWS file. So I think it's fine as-is. ___ Nmh-workers mailing list

Oh, oops, I clearly didn't look there. How about mentioning in the welcome that differences from version 1.6 are noted in "$PREFIX/share/doc/nmh/NEWS", or just "/usr/local/share/doc/nmh/NEWS"? I am happy to contribute a patch that renders the former location.

Thank you for reminding me I had no trouble installing it on OpenBSD; I updated the DISTNAME in the port, then I ran make makesum, make plist, and make install. I have found some things would be good to change in the port, but I have not been in the mood to edit it. The only issue so far for me

2017-07-20 Thread Thomas Levine
I too thought this was kind of obvious. Here is more about my interest. I have written slocal filters because I read about them in the MH book. Having done this, it would be convenient for me if I could run the slocal filters on new mail. At the moment I am mostly using inc with POP, because I

Has something like filtering support for inc been written? https://www.mail-archive.com/nmh-workers@nongnu.org/msg06078.html I wound up writing something that runs inc and than passes each particular message in the resulting folder to slocal (attached). It seems strange to me that nmh doesn't
