...about filtering mail, when using mutt 1.3.15i and procmail 3.15.1. After god knows how long struggle I have managed to get my internet connection and email work without KDE (I don't like it, it just feels too "ready", Windows of the Unix-world) and now that everything works it is time to mess up everything with filters.
I have read man pages and a couple of Linux-books, but I still don't quite understand how this thing works. Is it somehow possible to do things so, that procmail filters the messages to the ~/Mail -directory and mutt reads that directory directly instead of /var/spool/mail/jani? Can I also put mutt to show list of folders in my ~/Mail -directory at startup? Right now my .procmailrc looks like this: MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from :0: * ^[EMAIL PROTECTED] golem-devel :0: * ^[EMAIL PROTECTED] mutt-users In fact, I'm not even sure what that LOGFILE-line means, I just took it from one of the example files. :-) And my .muttrc looks like this: set folder=~/Mail set editor="jed" # editor to use when composing messages set help # show the help lines set indent_string="> " # how to quote replied text set from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" set move=no set include set sort=threads set charset=iso-8859-1 set mark_old=no #set allow_8bit=no set envelope_from=yes #set postpone=ask-yes #color normal white default color hdrdefault red default color quoted brightblue default color signature red default color indicator brightyellow red color error brightred default color status yellow blue color tree magenta default # the thread tree in the index menu color tilde magenta default color message brightcyan default color markers brightcyan default color attachment brightmagenta default color search default green # how to hilite search patterns in the pager color header brightred default ^(From|Subject): color body magenta default "(ftp|http)://[^ ]+" # point out URLs color body magenta default [-a-z_0-9.]+@[-a-z_0-9.]+ # e-mail addresses color underline brightgreen default # attributes when using a mono terminal #mono header underline ^(From|Subject): mono quoted bold And finally, because I use modem connection, when I send messages with sendmail -q, it would be very nice to know when the messages are sent, so I know when I can close connection. Checking the situation all the time with sendmail -bp is frustrating, because sendmail gives no output. I hope that I even managed to explain my problem so that at least somebody in this list understands what I'm trying to say... =)
