I noted some minor differences, though, that I removed by manual editing, like this: alias bjorksten Prof Bengt Bjorksten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,Prof Bengt Bjorksten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have no idea if mutt accepts another 'full name' after an address has been given, so I changed this to: alias bjorksten Prof Bengt Bjorksten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you ever entered a 'note' to an address in your Eudora address book, you will find it in the nndbase.txt file like this: note bjorksten weitere Adressen I changed this to # bjorksten weitere Adressen And that was it...

Message/partial assembling
Hi, Awhile ago I asked about Mutt support for message/partial. The answer was that "not yet, maybe someone will write it some day". So, does anyone know any program which can automatically assemble these parts? I just got an email which has been split into 73 parts, so the "vi filter" doesn't really appeal to me...

New Mail Polling
I am trying to understand how the status indicator in the folder list (if I'm using the term correctly), gets updated to show new mail in a folder. I've got a half dozen folders created by procmail. My mail_check is set to 5. It often happens that I find new mail within a folder (and new since last opened) but no "N" indicator next to the folder...which is what I desire. I'll appreciate your guidance on this. Thank you. John

I'm not one of the developers, so I can't say with authority, but I'm betting that such "feature patches" will never, or at least not soon, make it into the standard distribution. While mutt *does* do pretty darned much everything, and well, and fast, and so on, there is a constant battle against code bloat and creeping featurism. Since such feature patches are submitted and maintained by their authors, who may or may not be "official developers", and since those authors provide support for them separately, it keeps things simple for the core mutt distribution. :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!

problem with ignore
I ran into a problem with the ignore/unignore commands. It appears that the patterns they accept cannot be regex patterns. This works: ignore * and this works: unignore subject: to: from: but this doesn't work: unignore ^(Subject|To|From): So do the ignore/unignore commands deal with shell globbing only? Would it be a good idea to make both commands use regex patterns? -- Eugene Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Eugene Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on Sun, 12 Mar 2000: > So do the ignore/unignore commands deal with shell globbing only? No, they use special kind of wildcards, it's not even shell globbing. For them the rules are: - "*" is a special entry which means "all headers" - "something-" means that every header which starts with "something-", eg. "ignore X-" - everything else is taken literally > Would it be a good idea to make both commands use regex patterns? I'm not sure, what would be the point? Headers aren't exactly random strings... Well, mostly not. :-) If this was made into regexps, it would have to be made into a generic header filter that would scan the actual header lines too, to make some sort of sense. Ie. "I don't want to see Received: headers unless they contain this hostname" or somesuch. IMHO anyway. Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.
