It appears that mutt for my installations (both NetBSD and RH6.0 Linux, v0.95) cannot remap the delete key under windows. The terminal it is running in (rxvt & xterm) do appear to be able to separate the two, so it is not a terminal or xmodmap problem. I appear to be unable to remap the editor ^G key as well, BTW. > > 2) When I forward a mail with an attachment, mutt strips the > > attachment. > > Try 'set mime_forward' so that the message is attached as-is. One aspect of ``pine'' I find appealing is that on forwarding a message with an attachment, you are able to edit the text portions of original message (just as in a reply) but the binary portion is included in an attachment in the forwarded message. ``mutt'' does not appear able to do this. If I unset forward decode, binary attachments get included as ascii encoding in the forwarded body. If I set forward_decode, the binary attachment is stripped. If I set mime_forward, I can't edit the text portion of the original message. To model pine, I have to set forward_decode=yes, save the binary attachment from the original message, forward the original message and edit the body, and finally reattached the binary attachment prior to sending. Would be nice if mutt with ``forward_decode=no'' and ``mime_forward=no'' would binary preserve MIME attachments as-is instead of stripping them. Other than that, mutt is great :) R. ----- End forwarded message -----
