Yes, and yes (depending on your parent folder's delimiter, which is probably static). Well, anyway it usually works to move to, say, "Mail/Friends/Bill Gates", but there may be servers that don't support that...

interactive options on mailcap
Maybe this is not really a mutt question. I have the following line(s) in my .mailcap which is most useful: application/zip;/usr/bin/unzip -d/var/tmp/unzipped/ %s application/x-zip-compressed; /usr/bin/unzip -d/var/tmp/unzipped/ %s As you see, it unzips a zip attachment automatically when I press on it, now is it possible to have the routine prompt me for what destination dir I wish to unzip to?

IMAP folder surfing
first of all... mutt... sweet :) I've been telling myself to use it
for about a year now. Finally made the switch a couple of days ago.
Very nice. If only i used ssh port forwarding earlier before i
started punting my shell password all over the net. :)
Ok, obviously i am using IMAP. I have set the following in mutt 1.0pre2,
set spoolfile={localhost:4143}
set folder="{localhost:4143}Mail"
set postponed="{localhost:4143}Mail/postponed"
(The localhost:4143 is required for my ssh forwarding.
I forget who posted that in the mailing list, but thx)
The folders work in that i can save things to folders from my INBOX
and they work just fine. I can also switch to them just fine
(provided i remember their names), however... i can't use '?' to see
the list of them. I get errno=2 "No such file or directory".
Is this a bonafide bug? Or is there something i'm missing.
Cheers,
Derek

.saves-{pid}-{machine} files
Here's a question which has been bugging me for a while, and several different times I've trolled through the source but haven't found where this is happening: Why is mutt leaving files around in my home dir that look like: .saves-1074902-budoe.bu.edu This isn't the editor temporary file (this current editing session is mutt-1093277), but rather is a file which contains the names of the edited mail messages.

I'm curious as to where these files are coming from, and how I can make mutt clean up after itself?

Fcc question
Hi, I've asked this question before, but I didn't get any answers (no hard feelings). I still don't know how to do it. I want to save some of my outgoing message in two different mailboxes, so I want to say something like Fcc: =outbox, =some_other_box Of course, this doesn't work (at least not in 0.95.6). Question is: what is the correct way to do such a thing? I've thought about saving it to one mailbox and then let an every-minute cronjob distribute it to the correct mailboxes. But this seems to be an overkill for something that could have been so easy. Eagerly awaiting your reactions, Richard -- So what's the speed of dark?

Several things aren't implemented in the stable release of mutt.
Experimental implementations exist in the development releases, but they are
still in the debugging phase. Folder browsing doesn't work in mutt-1.0pre2,
for instance.

GnuPG wrapper update (PGP 2 compatibility)
Hi! I went into the PGP data formats and managed to persuade GnuPG to create signed and encrypted messages which can be verified and read by PGP 2.6.x versions - really common in the German university area, where a certification infrastructure based on this software is currently created. The new script doesn't use a separate gpg-options file and works fully automatically: It encrypts PGP 2 compatible if all used keys are of type RSA, and can be configured to use RSA when signing only. Included is short installation information and a tutorial what steps are required to manually sign-and-encrypt files for PGP 2. Script is still available at http://muppet.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de/~gero/gpg-2comp.tar.gz http://muppet.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de/~gero/gpg-2comp.tar.gz.asc GnuPG 1.0.0 (which is really nice IMHO) resides here: http://www.gnupg.org/ Maybe it's worth adding a note somewhere on the mutt www site.

Script:
#!/bin/csh -f
#
# define storage directory
set dir="/home/someuser/folders/"
# set temp filename
set tmp="/tmp/$$.multistore"
#
# save temp file with email
cat - > ${tmp}
#
# get secondary filename that could have been set by hook, etc
set filename=`grep "^X-OutboundMultiStore:" ${tmp}`
#
# set full filename
set fullpath="${dir}${filename}"
#
# save mail to second folder
cat ${tmp} >> ${fullpath}
#
# remove temp file
rm -f ${tmp}
#
# Elvis has left the building
exit 0
# EOF
That's the script. Assume we call it "multistore"...here's the procmail:
# recipe
:0
* ^From:.*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
* ^X-OutboundMultiStore:
{
:0c:
/home/someuser/folders/defaultsavefile
:0
| /path/to/multistore
}
# end recipe
Untested, but it's based on one of the first examples on the procmailex man
page, so I see no problems.
In short, the recipe's beginning checks not only for the special header,
but also for who it's from...so that it can only be triggered if you set
that header (cuts down on malicious abuse). Then the first part of the
disposition block saves to the default outbound file, and makes a copy of
the messge to pass on down to be piped to the second disposition, which is
a pipe to the script, which does the rest.
The procmailex example didn't use a second : to lock the file saved to, but
I think the man page was wrong...you should always check for locks when
saving to a folder. None is needed for the pipe.
Enjoy. Think I'll keep this around myself, just in case. ;)

I thought I would modify one of my files to do something similar. This
does not prompt for the directory but for the full file name. A default
directory is set in $WORK. It would be easy to change to have the prompt for
the directory. I call it save_gz. Note it uses gunzip not unzip. You
could replace gunzip with 'gzip -d'.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# You will have to change the variable below.
# Where you want to put the output file.
$WORK = "/u/b_duke";
$file = $ARGV[0];
$unzip = $file;
$unzip =~ s?\.gz??;
$base = $unzip;
$unzip =~ s?^.*/?$WORK/?;
confirm:
print "The output file will be saved as: $unzip\n";
print "Do you want to change the name? ([n]y) ";
$char = ;
chop($char);
if ( $char eq "y" ) {
print "Type in new name: ";
$unzip = ;
chop($unzip);
goto confirm;
}
# end of confirm loop.
system "/usr/local/bin/gunzip $file";
system "cp $base $unzip";
unlink $base;
I hope this is useful.
Cheers, Brian.
