Martin -- ...and then [EMAIL PROTECTED] said... % % I'm running the latest mutt (1.4i?).
Yep. % % For some reason (?), the list of current mail messages was moved to 'inbox'. % OK, I'm not sure why, but I can deal with that. Sounds like $move is set to yes. % % When I switch my folder being viewed from default (spool) to 'inbox', mutt % shows the messages as just a list of files (no, 'from:', 'subject:', etc.), not % mail messages. Sounds like they were kinda sorta moved to a maildir (or an mh mailbox?) -- but like something went wrong along the way. What are all of these files named? Are they like 1, 2, 3, ... or like mutt-users, davidtg, bob, ... ? % % How can I get mutt to display other folders as messages and not as files lists? They definitely shouldn't look like this; usually you simply point to the file (for mbox) or directory (for Maildir/) and mutt figures it out for you. For this directory "inbox", do you have subdirs "cur", "new" and "tmp"? [You should check from your shell rather than from mutt.] If so, then you have a Maildir -- but the messages seem to be under the root instead of under "cur" where they belong. If not, is there a .mh_sequences file, which would indicate it's an MH mailbox. Take a look at one of the files in your editor (again from your shell); does it have a line like From blah blah blah at the top, or does it go right to one of Date: Received: From: (note the colon after the From in the second group; the two headers are different)? If so, then you somehow have a bunch of mbox files at one(?) message per file, and I don't know why they would have been split up except by perhaps an mbox-hook or save-hook... % % Thank you.
