I have intermittent problems with this kind of thing. It's not total: sometimes some folders in the file browser have N and others don't, although they both appear to have had new email in them recently enough that mutt should have picked up on them. I hadn't posted it because I can't provide much of a clearer explanation than that and I can't narrow it down: but it's not just you :) As you say, the N is displayed correctly by messages when I'm looking at a particular mailbox. It's the file browser that's odd. Only thing I have particularly noticed is that it is less common when I start mutt: it seems to get it right then. It's more noticeable when I have, as is my habit, left mutt running in a window and new mail has arrived and procmail has put it in places whilst mutt is still running. Dunno on your netiquette question :) Telsa

According to what I read in the manual, they should be equivalent, the

Highlight search expression in pager.
I don't know if I have missed something but isn't it possible to have search expressions highlighted in Mutt's own pager when you search in article bodies from an index, like they are when you perform a search from within the pager itself? To make myself clear - if I search like ~b foo all matches of foo will stand out highlighed once I enter the pager on a matching message making them easy to single out from the rest of the text. If it's not currently possible, then there goes a suggestion for a new feature - though it may not be easy to implement..? Morten
turning off autoview on Mutt 0.93.2
Hello, I've searched the archives and I find many people wanting to autoview their attachments. I however, would like *not* to autoview attachments, because when I get an HTML-based spam mail, it makes it difficult to view the headers. I would like to know if there is a way to disable this feature with Mutt 0.93.2. I am not the admin of the machine it is running on, so I hope the only answer is not "upgrade". -- Robert Bringman, System/Network Administrator mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TRION Technologies, Inc. http://www.trion.com To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.

Fwd: Setting From when replying
I receive mail at many email addresses, but they all get forwarded to the same address. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What I want is for mutt to set the From: field when I reply to a message to the same address as the To: field in the original message. As it is now, if you send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I reply, the reply will be from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want the reply field to instead to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have tried using send-hook, but there does not seem to be a pattern that corresponds to the original To: field for matching.

There is a 'reverse_name' option you can enable to do this. You will need to make sure that your 'alternates' setting matches all the different addresses you can receive mail as, so that Mutt can tell which To: lines refer to you, and which do not. Something like this should work: set alternates='^((dav|two)@abc\.com|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED])$' -- 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.

That's more of a vi question (which flavour of vi? they have different scripting setups), but the method to do is to set up your $editor so that vi will be started with instructions to start on the 2nd line of the body. What those instructions are, and how they are told to vi, depend on the specifics of which vi you're using. I've seen people post vim macros etc. on this list before, at least, so others have done it. (Maybe they can help you more...) Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

Don't know the answer, but if you decide to upgrade, just do ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local or some such, then put ~/local/bin in $PATH, ~/local/lib in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. Not being admin doesn't mean you can't build stuff.

New reply/signature above the quoted mail
When I reply, the orginal mail's content gets quoted followed by the signature, and the cursor is set on the first line above the quoted reply. There was some discussion in the past that the old mail should be followed by the new. Has anyone implemented automatic solution to include the new mail+signature at the top followed by the quoted reply? What is the current recommended approach to reply formats? Thank you in advance.

Subba Rao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on Thu, 03 Feb 2000: > Has anyone implemented automatic solution to include the new > mail+signature at the top followed by the quoted reply? Mutt (deliberately) doesn't support this, not even as an option. To get Mutt behave like that would require patching. I don't know of any such patch, though likely it would be simple to do. > What is the current recommended approach to reply formats? IMHO, you quote the text you are replying to -- the relevant portion of it, I mean. After that you write your own reply. If you wish to address a different point from the original email, you quote that, and then write your reply below. And so on. This way, the reader can follow exactly what you are replying to. Naturally, any quoted text that is *not* replied to and which is not relevant for the reply, should be deleted. That's exactly like I've done in this email. :-) Unfortunately the Windows (or graphical? to avoid Windows-antibias) email clients don't quite follow this line of thinking in their editors. I can understand the logic that "your own text should be placed in front of the reply, because the person is not interested in seeing the original text, rather than your text" -- however why include the original message at all, in that case? The idea is to give a reference for your words (eg. if you say "I agree"). And for that, a point-reply-point-reply order is best. Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

moving mail to other folder after it's read...
When I first started using mutt, all of 3 days ago, I was using the latest stable release... 1.01 I believe. Anyway, I was able to set it up so that when I closed mutt, it copied all of the mail I had completed reading into a different folder. Now I am playing with the 1.1.2 release and it doesn't seem to be working anymore. Do I need to do configure it differently under the newer version to accomplish the same thing? Incidentally, I'm using IMAP folders if it matters... Thanks, Ben
group reply problem
I posted this a week or so ago and got no response, so I thought I would try again with a different (and hopefully more appropriate) subject line. I am using mutt 1.0i and am have a problem with group reply. In my .muttrc file I have remapped the g and ^G keys as follows: bind generic "g" first-entry bind attach"g" first-entry bind index "g" first-entry bind pager "g" top bind index "\cg" group-reply bind pager "\cg" group-reply When I am in the index or pager and type ? it reports: ^G group-replyreply to all recipients However, when I type ^G nothing happens. I am running mutt in an xterm window on a Sun/Solaris7/OpenWindows platform. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might be wrong? Thanks. -- Jeff C.

When in a business environment and you are having a discussion with person A back and forth for some time. Then at some point you need to ask person B to take care of something regarding the messages to person A. You reply to person A's latest mail and Cc: B with the instructions. Personally I hate the method because it assumes too much and person B almost invariably is forced to email you to get more instructions or details. I believe that people should be forced to write messages with the correct details as they are currently. What I mean is that the email should contain enough information to act on it.

Problem verifying gpg signatures with pgp
I'm using gpg 1.0.0 with the IDEA and RSA modules loaded. It was all compiled from source. Same goes for PGP 5.01. With GPG as my "pgp_default_version" I have no problem decrypting and verifying signatures and messages made by either GPG or PGP. When I use PGP with mutt however (pgp_default_version = pgp5), I can decrypt/verify PGP messages fine, and even decrypt GPG messages. But verifying signatures gives me a "Bad signature from..." error. FWIW, I think the problem is caused somewhere in the signing (not in the verification) stage. I say this because if I pipe the GPG-signed message to "pgpv" it still fails. I wouldn't have posted this to the mutt list, except this only is a problem for me in Mutt -- when I sign a file with GPG in a shell, I can verify it fine with PGP. Only when signing from within Mutt does it appear broken. Does anyone have any insight into what may be going on?

Overlapping aliases
OK, I'm prepared to be ashamed of a FAQ/RTFM, but I made a good-faith effort to find this one and couldn't. I am using Mutt 1.0i. I have about 50 aliases in a file separate from my .muttrc, which are read in via a source command. When I define two aliases where the second completely overlaps the first, something funny happens. E.g.: alias joe Joe Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> alias joe.jones Joe Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This results in mutt knowing just one alias, the shorter one (joe in this case) but whose value is the value from the longer one (Joe Jones in this case). Is this a bug? TIA, L
