Retry: Feature patch: patch-1.0.hb.save_alias.1

[Hans Bogaards]

Hello All,

I tried to send the following message to mutt-users and mutt-dev, but I
forgot to attach the patch and I did send it to the wrong
mutt-users-address, so here is a retry

- Forwarded message from Hans Bogaards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -

Date: Thu, 21 Oct 1999 15:15:38 +0200
From: Hans Bogaards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Feature patch: patch-1.0.hb.save_alias.1
X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0pre4i

Hello,

I've been away for a while from mutt, but I received a request for my
save_alias patch, so here it is.

This version works on 0.95.x, 0.96.x and 1.0prex.

I would like to know who of you do use this patch and if you would like
some added or changed behaviour for this option, so if you use it, please
send me a note.

Just a reminder what this patch does:

It adds the option save_alias, which changes the default save and fcc
folders if you have an alias defined for the sender/receiver of the message.

So if you have:
alias joe John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 

messages normally are saved (by default) in =213748823. If save_alias is set
then messages are saved in =joe.

To the developers, is there any change this patch will be incorparated in
mutt-1.0? Or is there a feature-freeze?

Or, better yet, allow user to specify one.  I often receive mails with
iso-8859-1 (that is latin-1) instead of iso-8859-13 just because many
(Windows-based) mailers do not support iso-8859-13.

That doesn't work for me; I get the 
   text/enriched not supported, use "v" to view this part
and then
   mailcap entry for type text/enriched not found
what should be the correct configuration?

Silly question, but this happened to me :) Did you add it to ~/.mime.types
It may make no difference but I found that it didn't work until I add the
correct line to .mime.types.

aliases

[Antonio Pievatolo]

Dear Mutt users,

I have just subscribed to this list; I use version 0.95.7i.

I have a problem with aliases. I tried to Bcc a message to many
recipients: at the Bcc prompt I pressed the Tab key, then I selected
the aliases from .mutt.aliases with the return key, and exited
the alias list. In the Bcc line at the bottom, the aliased addresses 
I had chosen had been fully expanded, but only the first 5 or 6 were present, 
because all the rest had been truncated, apparently because of a buffer 
limit for the Bcc line. Is there a way to increase this limit? 

In general, I find the alias management in Mutt to be quite deficent,
especially if compared to elm. With elm one could fully expand aliases
from the menu, modify aliases automatically, adding and deleting aliases 
without the need to explicitly edit the file, etc. 
With Mutt, I seem to be able only to alias received messages 
using keystroke menus, whereas all the rest must be done on the
.mutt.aliases file directly. Did I overlook anything among
Mutt's capabilities?

Thank you for your help.

Antonio Pievatolo

Whow...  How do you get these messages?  

Could you please give us your /etc/mailcap and ~/.mailcap settings,
plus anything auto_view-related you have in your mutt configuration?

I think yes; upgrade to a newer version of Mutt.  I'm not sure, but I
think that was a problem that got fixed in some newer version.

Is that such a big chore?  I personally think that using a text editor
on a text file is much more efficient (faster) than trying to manage
through some edit-this-part-of-alias or edit-alias-in-that-way
functions inside Mutt.  All you need is a good text editor.

As for managing aliases from inside of Mutt, I have the following
macros:

macro index A ":unset wait_key\n!$EDITOR ~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n:set wait_key\n:source 
~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n" "edit and reload email alias file"
macro pager A ":unset wait_key\n!$EDITOR ~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n:set wait_key\n:source 
~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n" "edit and reload email alias file"
macro browser A ":unset wait_key\n!$EDITOR ~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n:set 
wait_key\n:source ~/.mutt/mail_aliases\n" "edit and reload email alias file"

So I just need to press A almost anywhere and I can edit my aliases.

1.0/slang problem?

[Jim Simmons]

I just built 1.0i (./configure --with-slang=/usr/local/src/slang-1.3.7
--with-homespool=Mailbox --enable-imap) on an HP-UX 11.00 system and now
--when I start it using:

rxvt -fn 10x20 -title "IN-BOX" -e mutt

I'm getting a scroll bar from rxvt, and after doing a few things there are
actually lines in the scroll back buffer.  I didn't have this problem with
1.0pre4i.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks,

Jim

[1.0i bug] redraw problem

[Vincent Lefevre]

I replied to a message (from within the pager IIRC, but I'm not sure),
then hit 'c' to change the mailbox. And the whole screen got black (this
is my background color). I don't know what the cause is, and this may be
difficult to reproduce. All that I know is that I received a new message
at about the same time in the current mailbox.

I've just noticed exactly the same thing (with Mutt 1.0 and Slang 1.2.2).
Here's what I've done:

1) Start Mutt in rxvt from fvwm:

Exec "Mutt" rxvt -n Mutt -T Mutt -e env LANG= xmutt

where xmutt is:

#!/bin/sh
LC_MESSAGES=fr
mesg n
stty susp undef
unset REPLYTO
export LC_MESSAGES
exec mutt $*

(BTW, I should change $* to ${@+"$@"}.)

2) Hit 'c' to change to the next mailbox that has new mail.

3) Hit 'Enter' to read the first unread mail.

--> new lines appear in the scrollback buffer.

This can be reproduced as long as the next mailbox contains enough
messages (messages that aren't displayed in the index?).

Re: 1.0/slang problem?

[Leiden, Soren]

I do the following:

What if you start rxvt like this?

 rxvt +sb -sl 0 -n Mutt -T Mutt -e env LANG= xmutt

The +sb prevents drawing the scrollbar, and the -sl allocates 0 lines for the
scrollback buffer.

I know where the problem comes from. When I start this from fvwm,
the TERMINFO env variable isn't set, so that the Solaris xtermc
is taken (and the problem occurs). But when I start this from a
shell, the TERMINFO variable is set to /home/vlefevre/share/terminfo
(where the xtermc comes from the rxvt distrib, IIRC), and the problem
doesn't occur. Note that if I unset TERMINFO, the problems occurs
(this shows that it comes from the xtermc terminfo).

>

No problem, even if I use the Solaris xtermc (TERMINFO not set).

Sendmail doesn't like the command line it's being given by Mutt.  Here's
a simple shell script:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Args: " "$@" >> /tmp/sendmail.log

Save this script, then in Mutt, "set sendmail=/path/to/script".  Then,
send a dummy message, and when finished, check the /tmp/sendmail.log
file to see what arguments sendmail was supposed to be called with. 
Then try calling sendmail with those arguments and see why it fails.

F1 for help

[John Poltorak]

How do I set up F1 for help?

Actually I want to look at the html manual, although I've manged to
get Ctl-Z to do this with:-

macro index \cz !start /f/c lynx c:/mutt/manual.html'

This is my first stab at a macro, but it's quite useful, and quite
close to what I want eventually. In addition, I would like to use
F1 instead of Ctl-Z, I like the command to run automatically
without needing to press ENTER, and I'd like to prevent mutt from
issuing the 'press any key to continue' prompt.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

BTW the command above is an OS/2 command to start Lynx in foreground
in a seperate session, just in case anyone is confused...

IMAP, how to find out about new features?

[Chris Green]

I'm about to get serious about using mutt with IMAP4, I gather that
the 'unstable' 1.1 version is likely to have more IMAP functions and
features available.  Is there an easy way to find out what it can do
compared with the 1.0 version?

Hrm, I'll take your word for it.  I've always had the impression it acted
just as a new mail stack, but I guess not.

Use  instead of \cz.

Add  at the end of the macro.

Either unset wait_key in your .muttrc, or, if you just want it changed
here, use something like:

macro index  ":unset wait_key!lynx:set wait_key"

replacing 'lynx' with your command.

HTH.

Wow, that's amazing:

The "Internal Error" message was actually correct!  It's just that,
from the way the message is reported, it's not terribly obvious that the
child process is sendmail, and that it was sendmail that had the
internal error.  :)

Change the content-type from the command line

[Ryan Claycamp]

I have been researching this problem all day and can't find an answer. 
Therefore, I subscribed to the mailing list, hoping to get an answer.  I
am setting up a script file to fetch a web page every day and mail it to
a friend.  I do great getting the file with wget.  When I pipe it to
mutt, it sends it through as plain text.  If I was doing this manually,
I discovered that I could edit-type to text/html.  How do I do this from
the command line, so I can run it from cron?  Forgive me if it is in the
FAQ, but I couldn't find it.

Thanks,
Ryan

There's a README (and a BUGS) in the imap directory of the latest 
development versions. Or, I've just set up (5 minutes ago) a tiny web
page (maybe it will grow) where I'll post news about Mutt's IMAP
support. Currently you can find the README and BUGS files there.

This is pretty much a limitation of Mutt's batch mode.

Somehow I doubt this can be done, but some of Mutt's users are pretty
clever...


One way to do this would be to send the wget output to a file, then
attach that file in batch mode, using the -a switch to Mutt.  But your
message will still need a text/plain part to make up the main body, to
which the HTML will be attached.

A tool which is better-suited to your particular task, is mpack.  You
might want to give it a try.  Mutt isn't *always* the answer to your
E-mail needs, you know.  :)
