Colour loss when running via an exec command...
Hi, folks, I've got a problem that I can't seem to figure out and was wondering if anyone had any input. What I'm basically hoping to be able to do is, in Xwindows, have an option for mutt in my menu that looks like this: Eterm --trans --shade "40%" -T Mutt -n "Electronic Mail" -e mutt Basically, just click the menu and have mutt open up in an Eterm with my transparency preferences, rather than having to open an Eterm and type mutt. (Oh, I'm so lazy!) What happens, though, is that mutt defaults to a monochrome colour scheme when I open it via an exec like that. (It does the same for rxvt terms, etc., as well.) Does anyone know how to get around this? It's rather annoying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. - Jamie

I'm not too sure what version of ncurses that the default color stuff first appeared.

folder-hooks, (un)ignore, and From_
I'm having a problem with folder hooks in which I have (un)ignore commands for From_ headers. After unignoring the From_ header in one mailbox, I can't ignore it in others. The reason I want to see the From_ line is that I am using mutt to read my procmail log. This file has for each delivered email an entry showing the `From ' and `Subject:' fields of the header and some other stuff. I wrote for .procmail/log: folder-hook procmail/log'unignore "from "' And this works. But because this is not turned off when you change to another mailbox, there has to be a default folder-hook . 'ignore "from "' And this works placed ahead of the other folder-hook in my .muttrc when I first enter mutt. The problem is after I have changed to .procmail/log, and then to another mailbox, it doesn't work. I get both From_ and From: lines. The ignore lines in my .muttrc: > # default list of header fields to weed when displaying > # > ignore "from " received content- mime-version status x-status message-id > ignore sender references return-path lines x-mailer priority precedence > ignore x-sender reply-to mail-followup-to in-reply-to comments > #my list > ignore x- date user-agent organi cc delivered-to approved-by > ignore resent- > list- importance newsgroups errors-to followup-to > ignore supersedes > -- Greg MathesonDoing things right is Chinmin College, Taiwan doing the right thing.

Is there a > known buglist somewhere I could double-check? I'm at wit's end. I don't know about a known buglist... Mutt doesn't have bugs. ;-) (j/k!) But, for starters, your could describe what happens when you try to view one of these "nondisplaying" messages in Mutt? What do you see on the screen? Second, in the case that this is a "weird MIME type", can you view the message if you pipe it to some external program, such as less? You can do this by typing "|less". If you don't have "less" installed, you can use the "more" program. With either of those, you will then be able to see the "raw" message contents. Third, for these non-displaying messages, what do you see when you press "v" (which shows you a list of the message components/attachements)? Particularly, what does the attachment info at the right edge say? For normal text it should be text/plain. Hopefully these will get you in the right track of solving the problem, or at least give us more info to work with. Regards, Mikko PS.

It's http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/mutt/bugs.html -- but it was last updated six months ago. The most recent entries are for mutt 0.96.3. There's been quite a few versions since then :) I would try reading it with other mailers, and try saving it and seeing whether I can use a pager like 'more' on it. If, from the index, you hit 'v' to view attachments, it should tell you what MIME types the attachments are, too. Checking your mimetypes file(s), both system (eg, perhaps /etc/mime.types) and local (I don't bother so I forget what most people call this one) might throw something up. If you don't have an entry for that particular mimetype, there are pages (again, from www.mutt.org) which have sample mimetypes which are huge. You might find a suitable entry in those. Does 'unable to read' mean you get a message about it being unsupported, or you view something that looks like random ASCII garbage, or what? Telsa
Mutt + colors
I have `color status black cyan' in my ~/.muttrc. Stepping through mutt ensures that ColorDefs[MT_COLOR_STATUS] is 0x0A00 where color-pair 10 was initialized with init_pair(10, 0, 6). This should produce normal black on cyan, however ncurses (version 4.2) for some strange reason outputs \e[0;10;1m\e[30m;\e[46m (reset everything, set bold, set foreground to black and background to cyan), making it look like `brightblack cyan'. Is this a bug in mutt (e.g. not specificallty resetting A_BOLD which was set by a previous attrset?), or a bug in ncurses (or maybe in terminfo?)? Note that the preceding sequences are \e[0;10m\e[?25l\e[H (reset everything, make cursor invisible, move cursor to 1,1), so bold is turned on purposedly just for displaying help line. Note that this affects both help and status line in the index, and only help in the pager. Status line in the pager displays normal black on cyan. This occurs both on the linux console and Eterm. Other colors seem to work as expected (with ncurses; there's a wholy different story with slang...). Marius Gedminas -- Favourite MAC error message: "Not enough memory to eject disk!"

A header is ignored if and only if it matches the ignore list and doesn't match the unignore list. So if you have these commands: ignore x- unignore x-mailer you will see x-mailer headers because it matches the unignore list. The manual says otherwise but is wrong. The ignore command adds its arguments to the ignore list and removes them from the unignore list if they are there. The unignore command adds its arguments to the unignore list and removes them from the ignore list if they are there. Except "unignore *" that just removes "*" from the ignore list if it is there, and else does nothing -- it doesn't remove all tokens from the ignore list as the manual says. -- Byrial

Text substitution
I've got a STRANGE problem at my new client site. They're using GroupWise (UGH!) and I'm using Mutt (Yeah!). I've gotten them to interface through their POP3 server. So, I can get mail from people on site. I can also sendmail out to the outside world (like you all) through the same server acting as am SMTP gateway. The problem is that I can't send mail to others internally. Here's why: they have no DNS entry for their POP3 server, just an IP address. So, if I sendmail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it disappears; if I send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it works. Like I said, strange. My question is this: Is it possible to set up an alias or a rule in mutt such that every time I respond to an internal email from Joe Blow with a return address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], it automatically changes it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]?

Hi all, I'm a user of mutt and like it but there are a few things I'd like to be able to do with it. So, It is possible to * Use Mutt with Usenet. I'm pretty sure we can't but is there a plan to program it ? Is it already in a patch ? Will this patch be included in the next version ? * I'd like to know whether we can put GnuPG in the background instead of waiting the 5 or 6 seconds each time we send an email. With Outlook, it directly signs & encrypt in the background, but with mutt, it does it while not allowing you to do anything else. * Is there an X frontend to mutt ? The problem isn't that I hate the console but that I'd like to be able to do several things at the same time. For example, when I reply to someong, I'd like to be able to read another message without opening a new console + re-opening the same mailbox... Thanks for helping me... -- _ _ _ _ _ _ | | (_)_ __ _ ___ __ | _ \ _ _| | ___ | | | | | | | | | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / | |_) | | | | |/ _ \_ / | | | | | | | |___| | | | | |_| |> <| _ <| |_| | | __// /|_| |_| |_| |_|_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ |_| \_\\__,_|_|\___/___| (_) (_) (_)

You're on a unix workstation? Set up your own sendmail, even if it has to listen on a high port if you can't be root. Sendmail is the "right" way to deal with such things. -- - Jeff Abrahamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 610/270-4845
