problem with pgp while encrypting ...
Hello, I am using mutt, version 0.96.3i. with support for PGP 2.6.2i enabled. I can - sign a message - verify the signature of a message - decrypt a message but I am not able to encrypt a message. Whenever I start it, I get an request like Enter keyID for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: But mutt must have been able to get both keyrings, because otherwise I would not be able to sign or decrypt any messages.

There are a number of mailbox aliases, defined in section 4.7,
available within mutt. In particular, your default spool file is '!',
and I suspect that that's the case with IMAP as well. Thus, to chage,
you simply use ! instead of the full name. Give it a shot.

The spoolfile is already aliased to '!' (no quotes).

Update encoding bug
This concerns mutt 0.95.6i. If you attach a file which has been updated between the moment when it was attached and the actual sending, mutt will notify you of the change and before sending ask you: "/somefile [#2] modified. Update encoding? ([y]/n):" Then answering "n" should leave the file unchanged. However, it doesn't, the encoding is indeed updated even if you answer "n". Morten

Exim vs. Mutt (Round 1)
Hello... I installed Mutt this morning and am having a conflict with Exim, my MTA. Basically, Exim is almost a straight-forward sendmail drop-in replacement, compatible with almost every standard argument. When sending a message, I get the following: exim abandoned: unknown, malformed, or incomplete option -- Error sending message, child exited 1 (). I looked in my .muttrc at the sendmail settings and tried half a dozen alterations to it, to no avail...same error. Finally I took to invoking exim by hand with the same flags as the default sendmail entry in .muttrc ...it works with no problem by hand. The PROBLEM is that mutt is somehow (someWHY) invoking sendmail/exim with the actual argument "--" ...And that's what exim is puking on. I can reproduce the exact error message above manually just feeding `exim --` at a shell prompt (or sendmail -- ...it's a symlink). I checked roughly through the source for sendlib.c and couldn't seem to find any place where it would be doing this internally. It's NOT in the config file I'm using...so it must be internal. Can someone please point out a solution, or at least where in the source this is happening? Advice, anyone?

You guys are awesome! I did looked at help, but searched for the wrong
keyword "forward" and of course didn't see the "A" option.
However, now I've found an interesting "bug": if I type "A", it asks
for "Open mailbox to attach message from ('?' for list):". But it won't
open my IMAP inbox. If I enter {imapserver}inbox, it returns an error:
{imapserver}inbox: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
Normal folders work just fine. Can other IMAP users verify this please?

Fix for Exim!
Thanks to David DeSimone. He was indeed correct about the line in question in the source that caused exim to bomb out. In Mutt 0.95.6 in sendlib.c comment out line 1670 which reads: args = add_args (args, &argslen, &argsmax, "--"); I wish I would have gone with my first instinct and just done that, but a big thanks to David for confirming my suspicions. :) This affected exim 1.62 (slightly old), but may affect other versions. mark-> -- Fairlight-> |||[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fairlight Consulting __/\__ ||| "I'm talking for free... | http://www.fairlite.com <__<>__> ||| It's a New Religion..." | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/||| PGP Public Key available via finger @iglou, or Key servers
