color question
Hi- I wrote a mail agent front end that layered something a lot like Emac's dired utility on top of mh. I'd still be using it but my inbox is about 3000 messages and using mh is just too slow. So I'm switching to mutt, mutt looks cool. However, one feature that I had that I really miss is this: I could have a list of addresses and have color highlighting in the index based on those addresses. Mutt has support for mailing lists, but that - while useful - isn't what I want. A simple version of what I want is that all messages sent to "lm@*" or CC-ed to are highlighted with a color on the index page. Is there a way to do this? And is there a way to have an arbitrary list of those? It's really useful. I get between 300-1000 messages a day and I really want to be able to pick through and get the stuff that is to me highlighted. I have this bad habit of cleaning out my mailbox early in the morning before coffee. You can imagine the need for the highlighting... Thanks in advance. --lm

I asked a similar question some weeks ago on a German newsgroup about mail readers and got a list of MUAs which support RFC 2015. Here's the result: Mail readers with RFC 2015 (PGP/MIME) support * [2]Mutt * exmh * premail (not really a reader, but a plugin for netscape or any client where you can change how sendmail is invoked) * [3]XCmail * mew (an emacs mail reader) * Voodo on Amiga * Gnus 5.6.45 with TM and Mailcrypt * Qualcomm Eudora (full and light version for Windows and Mac) since version 3.02 with PGP 5.5.3i and 6.0.2i Plugin * XFMail 1.3 * MS Exchange with PGP 5 (?) * MS Outlook with PGP 5 (?) * MS Outlook Express with the Plugins which come with PGP. * Claris Em@iler with PGP 5 (?) * The internal mail reader of [4]Mixmaster 2.9 Without RFC 2015 support (yet) * Pterodactyl Gnus (but code is partly written) References 2. http://www.mutt.org/ 3. http://www.fsai.fh-trier.de/~schmitzj/Xclasses/XCmail/ 4. http://mixmaster.anonymizer.com/ You will have to find out yourself which of these MUAs use a GUI...

I have the same habit too (though I get substantially less messages a day). ;) You might also like mutt's `limit' command (I just love it). Also, sorting by `threads' and then by `to' helps with mailing lists a lot (I wish there were an option to sort by `list'...)

I looks a bit like SKIPWS is skipping all characters. Are you using
isspace() at all? I don't think you should. The ctype stuff depends on
the locale; it can easily be broken, and the definition of white space
in the RFCs isn't supposed to depend on the user's locale ...

Balsa. It either does or used to use 'libmutt'. I've used the libmutt from it to do tons of stuff, but I doubt it's maintained. Neil -- Neil Blakey-Milner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: GUI for Mutt (was: GUI PGP/MIME mailers?)
You could easily use the back-end parts, that is, the various MIME handlers, the mailbox and message access code, etc. However, you'd probably have to redo all the user interface code. I seem to recall that balsa actually goes this way. You may wish to have a look at it as a starting point.

There's already been an answer on how to color highlight messages addressed to an address which matches a regexp , but you can also color messages addressed to any address that matches $alternates: color index red black ~p Of course, it should also be mentioned that mutt already indicates which messages are to one of your addresses by putting one of the characters from $to_chars to the left of the date in the default $index_format. -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~aarons/ Let us be charitable, and call it a misleading feature :-) --Larry Wall

Indeed SKIPWS is using isspace()! Thanks for the pointer - I'm

Raju, are you setting any locale information? Can you try using the C
