[REPOST] y2k fix for mutt
[Given that there have been several people asking for this recently, I'm reposting this message. I guess I should start to release 1.0.1...] Mutt as a small y2k problem on the receiving end. While mutt works just fine with four-digit year numbers, RFC 822 originally specifies two-digit year numbers, which still seem to be permitted. (Not that any one should be using them nowadays... However, at least one user seems to have stumbled over them in the wild already.) The following patch applies to the stable and unstable code branches and makes mutt deal properly with two-digit dates < 70. diff -u -u -r2.17 -r2.18 --- parse.c 1999/11/18 10:31:09 2.17 +++ parse.c 2000/01/01 17:59:20 2.18 @@ -721,7 +721,9 @@ case 2: /* year */ tm.tm_year = atoi (t); - if (tm.tm_year >= 1900) +if (tm.tm_year < 70) + tm.tm_year += 100; +else if (tm.tm_year >= 1900) tm.tm_year -= 1900; break; -- http://www.guug.de/~roessler/ PGP signature

According the UNIX98 specification by The Open Group, which has been adopted by all major Unix vendors, two-digit years 69-99 refer to the 20th century (19xx), and 00-68 refers to the 21st century (20xx), so I think this line of code should really read if (tm->tm_year <= 68) tm->tm_year += 100;

bind behaves wrong for key
Hi, I am trying to bind a key in the alias menu to select the current entry and exit out the alias menu and go back to the To: prompt. I have tried the following and it works fine: bind alias s select-entry But when I try: bind alias select-entry It still only tags the message. I also tried this, and does not work either, any ideas? macro alias "t;q" "tag the msg and exit out the alias menu" Thanks.

autimatically deleting msgs with a given subject
Hi out there, I am thinking about the following: when receiving certain messages like notifications about successful program termination, I would like to have them deleted automatically after reading. That is, like moving read mail to /dev/null. As far as I could find out, mbox-hooks only work for mailboxes, not for message-matching, right ? Is there a way to move read mail depending on subject from inbox ?

[Usually $, but you've probably seen that by now.] This reminded me of something a Pine user mentioned to me as a reason he'd not yet embraced mutt. It seems that Pine can keep track of messages flagged as deleted, between sessions (it adds a header, 'X-Status: D'), so you can mark a bunch of messages as deleted and they stay marked until you finally expunge/sync the mailbox. Have I missed an option to do this in mutt, or is it not possible? Was there a reason, or has it even been noticed/considered?

I personally use the program emil (see
http://www.spinnaker.de/debian/emil.html) with the following rule in
my ~/.procmailrc:
:0
* ^Content-Type: multipart/mixed
{
:0 fBw
* ^Content-Type: application/mac-binhex
| emil -G mime8_user
}
This converts mac-binhex to "normal" MIME.
At the moment, I'm not sure, whether this works for version 4.0 of
binhex, just try it out...

problem with deleting / syncing
Hello again, now I've encountered the next problem with mutt... When I mark a message for deletion and quit the mailbox, and later enter it again, the deleted message still is in there. The status has changed back to not-delete. Using $ for syncing the mailbox instantly does not work at all. Does anyone know why this could happen ? Are file permissions of 0700 for mailboxes okay when working as ordinary user ? Thanks, Sebastian -- Windows95: Für die einen ein Betriebssystem, für die anderen die längste Fehlermeldung der Welt.

Mutt supports one side of this... if the mailbox contains messages with the 'X-Status: D' header, they will indeed be pre-marked for deletion upon entering the folder. I have a procmail script which marks spam messages in this fashion. However, Mutt has no support for writing a mailbox in this fashion. > Have I missed an option to do this in mutt, or is it not possible? > Was there a reason, or has it even been noticed/considered? (I sure > hadn't noticed it ;-) Why do people always insist that someone give a specific reason why something hasn't been done yet? As if everyone had already considered every possibility, and each was selected and rejected for various criteria... :) In this case, the idea has come up on this list, and several people thought it was a good idea, but nobody actually wrote any code, so nothing actually happened.

The status has > changed back to not-delete. Perhaps you have 'set delete=no'? There are four settings for the variable, but only 'yes', 'ask-yes', and 'ask-no' make sense. If you set it to 'no', you will never be able to delete a message from a folder. -- 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.

The last time I checked, Mutt doesn't send flag-changes to the IMAP server until you quit... so the messages can't keep their D flags, because Mutt never sent them.

one click save/sending?
Is there a way to give vim a single keystroke to at once both save and send a letter in mutt? I love everything else in mutt and I even have a vimrc that makes the status bar behave like my mutt colors but the one thing I miss from the evil pine days was the ability to just hit ^x and send a letter. I guess I just wish there was a way to make mutt and vim play a bit nicer together.

You could create a Mutt macro which would automatically press the send key after exiting the editor: macro index m y macro index g y macro index r y The only problem is that you would have no way to cancel the message if you modify it. me -- pgp key available from http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~me/elkins-pgp-key.asc PGP signature
