question: netscape & mutt
Is it at all possible to use mutt from netscape? i.e. clicking on a mailto: spawns mutt properly--would be the main thing... I'm using netscape communicator 4.6, but wouldn't mind going w/straight navigator if it's possible. Any info would be greatly appreciated... Thanks, -- Soren

Yes, but it's non-trivial. I have Netscape set up to spawn Mutt when I click a mailto link. You need to compile up a plugin for netscape. The stuff at: http://developer.netscape.com/software/sdks/mailnewssdk.zip is a good place to start. It includes example code for Elm. I found a version of this that included code for Mutt as well as several other mail programs, but nowhere in the tarball does it say where it came from, and I can't find it again, so I've put it in my FTP directory: ftp://ftp.exit109.com/users/jeremy/netscape-altmail-0.1.tar.gz It required a significant amount of hacking to make it work, though that may have been system-dependent problems. -Jeremy

It is not terribly difficulty. Mine bombs however when the mailto includes subject information that mutt appears to not understand, yet netscape's mailer and outlook have no problem with.

Pixmap background in an xterm and mutt
Hello all. Mutt seems to draw its own background (black). How might I let it simply write on top of the pixmap my terminal normally uses. I've already tried removing all color entries from my muttrc and the background is still back. If this is not possible what color attribute do i use to change the background to white? Thanks -matt

No. His goal was to have transparent backgrounds if possible; if not, then a white background. I told him how to get a transparent background. I've got COLORFGBG="default;default", using S-Lang, and it works fine to have a pixmap background. I've no real idea how S-Lang works, I just know this is what works for me, and I got it from some FAQ somewhere. > So far as I can tell, it strictly applies to the top menu bar, which is why > I didn't list that as a solution.

It just spits out endless lines with "y\n" (y followed by newline). Running yes 1 has the same effect. This is no surprise. According to the yes man-page yes doesn't accept any parameters except --help and --version. I took a closer look at the files generated in /tmp. I got 3 files. First is /tmp/mutt-nexus-29263-0 which is the message itself without the headers. Second is /tmp/mutt-nexus-29263-2 which consists onyl of the following lines: +language=en +pubring=/home/fastjack/.pgp/pubring.pgp +secring=/home/fastjack/.p gp/secring.pgp +verbose=0 +encrypttoself +batchmode -aefts -u 0x757AA05D 0xB82BCB829FBCC2DD This file grows until I kill the signing process or my /tmp is full The last file is /tmp/mutt-nexus-29263-4 which is again my message with some extra headers. The second file contains obviously a part of the command line of the singing process. Is this a configuration error?

I'm not too clear on this) inflicting its own colours on it. I fixed it by putting this in my .bash_profile (or .bashrc; I always put things in them the wrong way round): set COLORFGBG="default;default" export COLORFGBG This resulted in the same text and background colours for mutt that I had set for the gnome-terminal. I haven't tried messing with colours for reading mail yet. I _think_ this may be what the original poster was looking for? Telsa

I was using default as an OBJECT, not a colour. I had in my config: color default brightyellow;blue I think I was doing that to try and achieve what I -wanted-, which was that colour scheme as the default everwhere that I didn't have something else specified...not just as a "don't colour anything where not specified". Two entirely different behaviours. I misunderstood "transparent"'s meaning in the manual, basically, and was shooting for an slrn-ish appearance. The fact that "default" is listed under the colours and not objects should have given it away, but it was about 6am when I worked on that (read: up 21hrs). I completely misunderstood what I was reading. I really deserve a good LARTing for that...or at least a swipe with the Clue Hammer[tm]. > It certainly is recognized.

Re: Pixmap background in an xterm and mutt
Hi all. Since we're talking about colors, I'm posting a question about
this too. Here's what I'm using:
rxvt, zsh, Mutt 0.96.4i (yes, it's devel but I only use the 'stable' if
it fails...) and I have set my colors to use brightwhite. The problem
is that if I have TERM=xterm-color, I get a sort of yellow, very ugly,
which destroy my other colors, best viewed with a brightwhite
background. If I set TERM to rxvt, I see the brightwhite color but my
arrow keys stop working, I can't do a ctrl+z and pressing backspace I
get weird things printed (like ]]]...). I'm using the termcap.rxvt
shipped with the rxvt sources, so I don't know why it's not working.
Lynx has a -blink command line option and SLRN set use_blink 1. If you
set it, you'll se the brightwhite color. Without it, you'll get the
sort of yellow. Is it possible to add such option to Mutt too?

I had a look at that and I see you have a new search script for fido? A dum question! What is fido? It rings no bells with me. Do you have a link to it? Another question I was going to ask long ago. lbdb_lib uses sendmail.cf. My sendmail.cf is owner - root, group - system, with only owner and group having rw permissions. Thus that function fails. I commented most of it out and set it up so it reads hostname. Is this a security issue? I have changed since I first installed lbdb to using qmail so sendmail.cf is not now used, so I could probably alter the permissions safely as I no longer have sendmail. > > > Has anyone built lbdb for HP-UX?

Cannot paste to XJed with Mutt/KDE
Pasting to Xjed running as Mutt's editor worked under RH5.2. With RH6.0 and KDE it does not -- nothing happens. Pasting _from_ Xjed while composing a message still works, but usually I want to go the other way. Any suggestions? TIA, -rex

hdr_format / index_format?
I have bothered Sven enough. What is the difference between hdr_format and index_format? Did index just replace hdr? Since I set up my .muttrc I guess with mutt 0.88 or so, that is what I have for my indexes. Oh, btw, someone mentioned being new to mutt and just using the stock muttrc to learn it, screw that! :) When I started (granted I came from elm), I just kept the manual up and built mine from scratch how I wanted it.

Oops! This is what I'm using: mailboxes `echo ~/mail/* | fmt -1 | grep -v /outbox$ | fmt -` Using echo instead of find assumes that everything in ~/mail is a mailbox (no subdirectories within it), which it is for me. I use the fmt -1 to put each mailbox on a single line so I can grep -v for /outbox$ , then fmt - to put them all back on a single line afterwards. So if you use this instead: mailboxes `find ~/mail -type f -print | fmt -` it should work. (or the tr ... echo solution already posted should work fine, too.) Note that this fmt - will break if the total bytecount of the names of your mailboxes is greater than . I initially tried using something larger like 9 but found that the fmt from gnu textutils v1.22 is broken: devo: gerald> echo asdf | fmt -9 [ no output ] devo: gerald> fmt --version fmt (GNU textutils) 1.22 (hmm, I see there's a new textutils available now, they might've fixed this in the meantime: ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/textutils/textutils-2.0.tar.gz ) -- Gerald Oskoboiny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://impressive.net/people/gerald/
