it means that in your muttrc the option 'strictthread' is set to off.
The mails with the '*' are threaded not by an in-reply-to header but sipily by
compaaring the subject.

disable pgp/mime?

[fastjack]

I need to disable pgp/mime sometimes, because not all mailers do
support pgp/mime. (Especially Windows email clients). Is there
any way to disable this for certain mails? If this is not
possible, can I disable it generally?

TIA

This was answered to me a while ago (look at the attached message)

LDAP Capability

[W. Mark Hagler]

Is there any discussion or development to give mutt the ability to
search LDAP directories to find addresses?

Pine has this feature, and it's nice to use but it seems to require
going through layers of menus and weird keys, much like anything else in
pine.

There is an interface for external address queries, a perl script
to do LDAP is available. Follow the "Links" link on http://www.mutt.org/
and find it at Brandon Long's pages.

I don't like the user interface, too.

send-hook persistence (Was: Re: different from addresses based on recipients)

[Troy Davis]

Making progress.  These settings:

set reverse_name

# if it's To: or CC: *stuff.com or originating from the stuff folder,
# be From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and add a sig
# if it's not From: [EMAIL PROTECTED], nuke the sig and go back to normal From:
folder-hook =stuff 'set signature=~/.sig'
folder-hook =stuff 'my_hdr From: Troy Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'

send-hook '~C stuff\.com' 'my_hdr From: Troy Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
send-hook '!~f troy@stuff\.com' 'my_hdr From: Troy Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
send-hook '~f troy@stuff\.com' 'set signature="~/.sig"'
send-hook '!~f troy@stuff\.com' 'set signature=""'


works nicely when replying to messages that were sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  At 
least, until I reply to a message that was sent to to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Then 
it won't use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the rest of the mutt session.  It does
still evaluate the signature settings correctly though.  Suggestions?

FYI, if anyone cares, I was unable to make a hook 'unset signature' or 'set
hostname="stuff.com"'.  Feature limitation or user error I don't know, but
the same hook worked triggered fine if I was doing 'set signature="~/.sig"'
or 'set realname="Me"'.  'set signature=""' also worked.

Cheers,

Troy

mail folder help for a mutt novice

[Peter Mickle]

hi -

Any help will be appreciated with the following. I am trying to "create
folders" for (most importantly) read mail and (secondarily) to sort incoming
mail. I have read the documentation repeatedly and am stuck. 

I am using mutt 3.0.95i, and my .muttrc file is a minimally modified version
of one posted (retrieved within the last 6 weeks) on the mutt.org website by
Jeremy Blosser (thank you)

My Mailbox is /home/london/Mail, and if I create a folder manually (as root)
in that directory, mutt tells me that it is not a mailbox. If i try to create a
folder from within Mutt, by typing "ESC s" while a message is selected, I am
first prompted to decode/save the message to: =friends (from sender header),
when i confirm, i am prompted to create /home/london/Mail/friends, and when
i confirm, i get the message permission denied errno = 13.

I'm not sure what is the correct way to accomplish what I am trying to do.

Thanks for any help,

Peter

RTFDocs, especially the manual (if you want to just send some stuff in the
clear) and doc/PGP-Notes.txt (if you want to use old-style plaintext PGP on
some messages).

I assume by 'folder' you mean 'directory'.  An empty directory is never a
mailbox.  An mbox mailbox is a file, and Maildir and MH folders both have
to have control information in the directory to be valid.

Do you have permission to create files in the given directory?

using other languages

[Don Blaheta]

I just downloaded the new 1.0pre3 version, and I've been having a hard
time getting the multi-language support to work.  All the doc I've been
able to find has said "just set your LANG variable and it should work",
which it doesn't.  I've also tried copying the relevant .po, .mo, and
.gmo files into the sharedir, and into a subdirectory named "po" off the
sharedir, neither of which helped any.  Any ideas?  This doesn't appear
to be in the FAQ, and a cursory reading of the code didn't help much
either.

On a related note, could anyone tell me a good way of using mutt's
unicode support directly on a Unix (Solaris) box?  I haven't a clue how
to get rxvt or xterm to do anything more than iso-latin-1.  (If this is
inappropriate to the list, then by all means, send it privately)

Marking all mail as read

[ashley]

hello,

i am trying to figure out how i can mark all mail in a mail folder as
read. i can see how you mark a thread, or specific message, but not how
to mark all messages as read. is this possible, and if so how would this
be done?

thanks,

Ciao.
Ashley.
