I fail to see why the builtin pager can't have a URLjump binding that would work like lynx does, and then let you trigger a browser external from that point, on that url. This seems to fall within the scope of a pager, yet leaves the web client external, thus catering to the lean MUA/rest-to-other-suitable-apps model. urlview is okay, but I think having this functionality built into the pager would indeed be more slick and seamless.

suggestion: 1.1.7i, gpg-2comp, and gpg.rc
Hi All, I have a suggestion for a change to the gpg setup before releasing the next stable version. Currently, the included gpg.rc file is set to use the gpg-2comp script for signing. This is a nice script, which allows the use of old RSA signatures. However, for a stable-version mutt, it would be best to have the default/recommended setup be as straightforward as possible. If one doesn't have the need to make old signatures, then there should be no need to require an external dependency on a script which asks individual users to do customizations. If someone wants to do old signatures, then having the current setup commented out but available for intrepid souls is a good idea. Thus, in contrib/gpg.rc, please change the calls to gpg-2comp to simple calls to gpg. If I'm managing a multi-user system and want to do an upgrade to mutt-1.2, it should be as simple as having users source a new system rc file. At the very least, including the gpg-2comp script in the mutt install would make life easier, although for people who don't need it, requiring the invocation of an extra perl script for each signing is rather wasteful. Other than that, things are looking good - kudos to the dev people for their good work!

Preparing another gpg-2comp.rc is IMO better than working with comments. I expect room for optimizing the rc file and the gpg-2comp script for use with mutt-1.1/1.2 . > If I'm managing a multi-user system and want to do an upgrade to > mutt-1.2, it should be as simple as having users source a new system rc > file.

Unfortunately I don't see any way to determine good default values for the required PGP2-interoperating parameters. Therefore the users must do the configuration by themselves to keep a minimum of transparency. I don't think that indications to use the script are common enough to include it in the distribution.

i.e. you need (server-start) in your .emacs. (C-x C-e at the end of the line
to start it without restarting emacs.)
If you'll permit a plug, one of my web pages has mutt oriented email editing
goodies: http://astro.utoronto.ca/~reid/mutt/
I prefer to only use emacsclient if I'm in X (i.e. most of the time) and jed
otherwise. If you set mutt's editor, $EDITOR, and $VISUAL to the attached
script, it will automatically send you to jed if you're not running an emacs
server, and emacsclient if you are.

Heh, yeah, they do. :-) I meant to reply to your original message but never got around to. As you probably know by now, the "mini-index" in the pager is not a separate entity, it's part of the pager. So you can't "change to it", you have just a single set of key bindings with which have to make do. Although it would be possible to create macros that re-set your key pager bindings to "index mode" and "pager mode", but you wouldn't have any visual indication of in which mode you currently were. Anyway, you can use "bind pager " just like normal. There are no more or no less functions available, and the bindings for the pager remain the same regardless of whether you have the mini-index displayed or not. You need to work out for yourself a comfortable set of bindings... Of course, the defaults are pretty good, eg. that arrow keys work. :-) Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

I have two suggestions: - either install sgml-tools (version 1.x; 1.0.9 was the last in that series, I think); this shouldn't really be necessary because the files make tries to generate should already be in the distribution - and/or install GNU make; some people will disagree with me, but HP's make is just another example of dumbed-down, near-unusable vendor tools (Sun's patch is another one, for that matter)

lists feature
Hi, I'm thinking I would like the lists feature better if I could somehow still have the default index_format set. Is there a way to do that? I'm using 1.0, obviously. Does the subscribed and lists features in 1.1 somehow change things? The thing is that I use procmail to sort all my mailing list mail into their own mailboxes. So I know what mailing list I'm dealing with because I'm in that folder, however I would prefer to scan the mailbox to see who is posting, with whatever subject. Somedays I only want to read Linus' posts to linux-kernel, that is a little difficult with the current default setup in 1.0. -- ~ Dale Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key: 372FBD57http://www.maybe.org/ Maybe is an Ambivalent Yet Beguiling Enigma

What you want to do is just set your $index_format to your preference. Start with the default value (shown in the manual) and get rid of the %L, replace it with %F (or %f or %n). See the manual entry of $index_format for a description of those formatting strings do. I *think* that's the answer to the question you were asking, though I'm not sure. If it doesn't answer you, please clarify your question. :-) Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.
