If the filename ends with a pipe (``|''), it is assumed that filename is a shell command and input should be read from its stdout. I'm using: $ grep "^set signature" ~/.muttrc set signature="~/bin/sparc/fortune -s |pr -t -e|" You could put a script here which echoes the signature and adds the fortune.
Re: fortune sig
The way I do it is: set signature=sig| sig is a shell script that does the following: #!/bin/sh cat $HOME/.signature fortune -s|adjust -m80 On Fri, May 28, 1999 at 08:56:26AM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi All > How can I add the output from fortune in my sig. > Id like to keep my sig below and have fortune append its output below > I think that would be *really* cool ;) > thanks > rob > -- > Linux Home Page http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm > S.u.S.E Linux 5.3 -IRC- #suse efnet > > >Mail via Mutt-<

But when I fetched this mail with a windows based e-mail client( AKMail ) I see the attacment but the attachment has no name.

Re: Problem wit attachments
My friends reported( they use windows ), that they unable to deteremine the type of my attacments( no name no extension appeared; an untyped file appeared ). So I tried it. I send me( remote ) two mail using mutt. AKMail MUA( windows ) was unable to determine the name and the extension of the file. MS Outlook Express was able to do it( the name and the extension of the file appeared ). Earlier I used AKMail I had no problem with it.

Re: fortune sig
Hi, At 8:56 AM EDT on May 28 [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent off: > How can I add the output from fortune in my sig. The replies that have been sent in so far answer your question perfectly, but I'm going to go a bit beyond that ;-) I prefer to use randomly chosen quotes from a set of blurbs that I like, as opposed to whatever the fortune authors put in. Even then I often need to repick the quote because the originally returned one is inappropriate for the situation at hand. I've posted a few ways of doing that at http://astro.utoronto.ca/~reid/mutt/ in case anyone's interested. -- MS-DOS didn't get as bad as it is overnight - it took over ten years of careful development. -- D Meggins Robert I.

Manual for Mutt 0.93.2i
I'm looking for the subject manual, in HTML or ASCII. My only manual is for version 0.92.13, but something is wrong with the syntax for putting mailing list info into the muttrc file. Using 'set list blah blah' gives errors on mutt startup. and 'list blah blah' is ignored. Any pointers to a 0.93.2i manual?

Using 'set list blah blah' > gives errors on mutt startup. and 'list blah blah' is ignored. First, the manual should have come with your distribution, in SGML form. It can be converted to text/HTML/etc using the SGML tools package, found at http://www.sgmltools.org/ Second, you can always find the current manual online at http://www.mutt.org/, and in this case the answer is the same in the current version as the one you have. (The manual on the web site was outdated for some time, but is now being maintained again.) Finally... the syntax you want is 'lists blah blah'. From the current manual: 3.8 Mailing lists Usage: [un]lists address [ address ... ] Mutt has a few nice features for handling mailing lists. In order to take advantage of them, you must specify which addresses belong to mailing lists. [snip] The ``unlists'' command is to remove a token from the list of mailing-lists.

GDB output Re: Mutt unpredictably quits when returning from editor
