window resize bug?
Hello Everybody, I think I found a bug in mutt, I was wondering if someone else could try to reproduce it, so I can figure out if it is just a bug in my setup. here's how: startup mutt, type a !vim (it also works when I hit a m), when vim starts up resize the XTerm's window for a bit, this Is where the bug happens for me -- mutt's interface overtakes vim but vim is still running. its like vim and mutt are both trying to be the head app, it is pretty weird. let me know if it's just me, thanks. sa

Mutt on MacOS X?
Has anyone successfully built it on Rhapsody 5.3? the autoconf script knows nothing about it, and there's quite a few conflicting types ...

First of all, there is no such thing as an envelope-from line in the header. It's transported out-of-band - in the envelope, not in the message. Second, using sendmail -f will help with all applications which explicitly using. If there is an (N+1)st application which doesn't use it, you risk sending out messages with a bad envelope sender address. Thus, when your system doesn't have a domain name of its own, you should actually switch to userdb. Note that you may have to use some sendmail feature like MASQUERADE_ENVELOPE, but I'm not really sure about this - I've stopped using sendmail some time ago. -- http://www.guug.de/~roessler/

Re: Asterisk in index tree?
I believe mutt puts the asterisk when it is attempting to sort by threads and finds matching subjects, but not in-reply-to fields, so the asterisk is saying that it is "guessing" that this message goes with this thread.

It means that someone replyed to a thread with a crap mailer that didn't set the "In-Reply-to:" field properly, and mutt's stuck it into the thread as it thinks it's part of a thread (matching on subject/date) but isn't sure.

It also occured to me that it's shown when a mail is all part of the same thread, but the immediately preceding mail has been deleted, so there is no direct link between it and the thread.

Real threads are identified by the message-id's and the In-Replay-To headers. These are displayed with a "real" arrow without asterisk. Pseudo-threads are more than one message, which do not have matching message-id's and In-Reply-To headers, but only have the same subject. These are marked with an asterisk. If you do not want to display these as threads, turn off strict_threads. I do not know, though, how to change the asterisk itself. Maybe patching the source ?

collapsed threads and newly-arrived mail
Hi, folks -- When reading a large mail folder, such as my mutt folder, I often collapse all threads with an esc-V command. While new messages in an existing thread drop into the collapsed thread as expected, I have found, however, that new mail in new threads arrives and the threads are uncollapsed. At this point, esc-V becomes tricky, since some are collapsed and some aren't. Am I going to have to go to a folder-hook of some sort, or a macro (probably better, since I don't *always* want my mutt folder collapsed) to set a "show threads collapsed by default" variable (which I didn't find in the manual, BTW -- is there one?) so that new threads get collapsed for me? Or do I really have to sync ($) and exit (x) and restart (mutt -f ...) and recollapse (esc-V) to make 'em all the same?

I don't think HTML mail causeed it in my case as I don't read them :) Or at least, I don't have it show up all formatted by default, and there's only one person whose HTML stuff I'll read even from the view index.

Fetchmail is a good solution *until* you want to do things interactively with your POP3 mail box. The one thing that I would like (and I think some other people would like) is a means to interactively decide what to do with mail in a POP3 mailbox. Fetchmail can't do this, the interactive requirement puts the facility squarely into the MUA I'm afraid. As I said previously, I'm already using mutt on IMAP4 mailboxes and like it (and report back to the developers) but I still have POP3 mailboxes to deal with as well. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

If I just type lynx foobar from the command line it works nicely, however if I hit Enter on a .html file (and thus run... hey, why does it say `(lynx %f &)' in the mc.ext file?), both programs try to update the screen simultaneously and both struggle for keystrokes. The ampersand sure looks suspicious. (Note, that both lynx and mc are compiled with slang. But vim uses ncurses, so perhaps that's not relevant.) I also tried the same trick in plain console, and lynx was then properly `stopped (tty input)'. Mutt seems to be innocent. Its more likely a problem in xterm (not suspending background tasks).

This is a signal-handling bug in your shell. When Mutt launches the editor, it is very careful to set up the signal handlers for all signals that could come in. However, the process tree goes something like this: mutt sh -c 'vim' vim So, the direct child of Mutt is sh, and the editor runs as a child of sh. What happens is that the intermediate 'sh' messes up the signal handlers. It shouldn't do that, and most shells don't, but there are apparently some buggy versions that do. When you resize your xterm, a SIGWINCH signal is sent to all the processes running in that window. That means Mutt, sh, and Vim all get the signal. Mutt and Vim handle it properly. Sh should ignore it, but it fails, and instead, sh exits completely, leaving vim still running as an orphaned process, where Mutt can't see it anymore. Mutt thinks that the editor has finished, so it resumes processing, but the editor is still running, and they fight over the terminal. So... What to do? Well, use a different shell. Upgrade your /bin/sh to a more recent version. Or, if you have another shell to use, that is /bin/sh compatible, use that, by re-configuring Mutt with the --with-exec-shell option. Try /bin/ksh or /bin/bash instead. As a last resort, you might try set editor="exec vim" This will cause the sh process to replace itself with the editor. That gets the buggy shell out of the way, but since the shell is going to be used to launch other commands from Mutt, too, you would be better off with a non-buggy shell instead. -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.

Mutt seems to hold the value of the all-collapsed toggle, so if you get a half-and-half display like that and hit esc-V, it switches to all uncollapsed. Then a second esc-V will recollapse them all. I use the following: macro index \cv "VV" as well as folder-hook . "push V" to start out with everything collapsed. On a somewhat related, somewhat offtopic note... I've had trouble getting esc-v or esc-V or any other esc key combo to work since I started running Mutt in screen. Anyone know anything about this? I don't seem to get this problem with other apps in screen. -- Jeremy Blosser | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://jblosser.firinn.org/ -+-+-- "If Microsoft can change and compete on quality, I've won." -- L.
