That sucks! you have 1.0.1 and it works andI have 1.2 and it still doesn't work. oh well.. like "Mikko Hanninen" pointed out in the earlier mails.. I guess something is messing up the "timestamps" on my folders and thats the reason mutt does not recognize my new mail files. Well I tried changing my muttrc so that it looks like yours.. I put in that ! sign to say its incoming mail, but it still doesn't recognize it.. either its the timestamp thats messed up or I am too tired and doing it wrong.. This is how my muttrc looks like. I will check it again tomorrow morning and try to make it work. set folder=~/mail mailboxes ! `echo $folder/*` source ~/.addressesmutt And all my mailing list files are in that mail directory, so that can't go wrong. and my spool file is the default spool file, I didn't change it. oh well.. tomorrow! thank you Aravind

There is no such thing as "the original From_ line". The From_ line does NOT belong to the message, but is a part of the mbox mailbox format where is marks where a new message begin.

Do you get the list you expect (eg bugtraq debian-security root-mail)? I don't see why you wouldn't get that list; you specify each mailbox with a full filesystem path and no fancy `echo ...` calls, so that's pretty bulletproof. But let us know. If you *do* get your list, then you should check for anything that might be looking at those mailboxes -- biff, shell mail notification, newmail, backup software, some tar or cpio command, or the like -- and updating the access time (because it peeks at the file) without updating the modification time (of course!), because THAT is how mutt discovers "new" mail. mutt doesn't actually open the folders and check all of the headers; it really just says "this file has been modified since [presumably] you last looked at it, so it must have new mail in it" and that's all. :-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!

Actually, mailboxes ! and mailboxes $MAIL are equivalent, if the MAIL environment variable has been set and $spoolfile isn't defined to something else in the .muttrc. You can refer to ! in the mailboxes line, I do that in my own .muttrc. > #mailboxes =F.* ### why doesn't this work?? Because mailboxes doesn't use regular expressions or do shell-style wildcard expansion, only literal strings of mailbox paths. > I set $folder just to be safe; I dunno if I really need to > or not. I think the default for $folder is ~/Mail, and this doesn't depend on any system variables. At least, that's what the manual shipping with 1.2 says. So here you wouldn't really need to set it, since you're using the same value as the default. However, relying on the default may sometimes be a bad thing, like if the default value changes sometime in the future, that might bite you back.. With the setting in your .muttrc, you don't have to worry about that. Oh yes, for the original poster -- to actually see what mail folders are defined in your mailboxes lines, you can do this: c? ... to view your list of "incoming mail folders" (ie. the mailboxes defined folders). If a particular folder doesn't appear in that list, then it's not been properly defined in a mailboxes line. Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

Opps dunno what happened to the last mail.

This is both so that it's easy to change to such a mailbox (c) and, perhaps as an added feature, to let you know which has new mail (where "has new mail" is defined as "has a modification time later than the access time"). My guess is that something is touching your mail files and thus throwing off the timestamp. Assuming you're on a LINUX system or otherwise have GNU's ls available, try ls -lF $HOME/Mail/root-mail ls -lF --time=atime $HOME/Mail/root-mail and check the differences. In order for new mail notification to work, the timestamp returned by the former must be later than that returned by the latter. As a test, you can force this condition by touching the mailbox to update the modification time. Mutt should then see that you have new mail in the box you touched, and the listing from c should have an "N" on the left for the appropriate row. % % Graham % -- % Graham Lillico % % ITNET E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] % The HolliesPhone : +44 1785 782286 % Newport Road GNet: 755 286 % Stafford % Staffordshire % ST16 1BY % % Key fingerprint = 2F4A 7D1D 7561 FFCF B744 CB0A 91AF 97D6 5BCB 17EE :-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!

How to discern underlying threads
By default, my .muttrc collapses all threads. I find it difficult to distinguish between (i) mail with underlying threads, and (ii) singular mail. Where there is *new* mail underlying a thread, there is a big fat 'N' to indicate this. However, where I am browsing old mail, I find it better if there is some marking to show which threads are single and which are multiple. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance. Some newbie rattle: I just migrated from Win2000 to Linux, and am using Mutt as substitute for my erstwhile mailer Forte Agent 1.8, to which threading is also a feature. I have found mutt to be outrageously flexible and powerful, and the text based screen is so much better for my eyes (really!)
~/.muttrc not working after upgrade mutt to v1.2

Different From addressed depending on ?
Hi, I would like to be able to use a different "from" address for some emails I send. This is because I have 2 email addresses, home and work. Sometimes I send email from home to my work collegues, I would like these emails to be from my work address. So as not to confuse my collegues and give the impression I'm at work when really I'm at home :) How would I configure mutt to select the correct from address based on a condition. And what condition could I use? I have set up a mailbox just for my work emails, could mutt detect that I'm viewing a work mailbox when I hit the "m" key, and set the from address to my work email address? Or is there a better condition that could be checked, like the presence of my works domain name in the to or cc fields maybe? Thanks, Nigel Tamplin.

I don't know why the ~/.muttrc not work anymore? What do you mean with "layout"? The .muttrc format for 1.2 is mostly compatible with that of old versions, there's not been any major changes at least in anything that could be considered "layout". So in theory, there is no reason why your .muttrc would suddenly stop working. Any significant changes are described in README.UPGRADE. Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

I know what you mean, and although it isn't perfect, technically this is a solution: set index_format="%2C%Z|%[%b %e %k:%M] %-14.14F %3l|%s" i.e., the first column is the message number. Collapsed threads with multiple messages show up as jumps in the numbering. The message number is also useful for jumping to messages of course, especially deleted ones.

The Mutt conditional commands are called hooks. That is, in certain situations Mutt looks for a/any matching hooks and executes them. > I have set up a mailbox just for my work emails, could mutt detect that I'm > viewing a work mailbox when I hit the "m" key, and set the from address to > my work email address? > > Or is there a better condition that could be checked, like the presence of > my works domain name in the to or cc fields maybe? Bingo! One of the types of hooks Mutt has is send-hook, which is used whenever you start a new email. (Despite the name it doesn't run at the exact sending time, rather than when you create a new email, either with m or a reply of some kind.) The most basic kind of setup for switching between the two email addresses is something like this: send-hook . "my_hdr From: You <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" send-hook "~C @work.domain.com" "my_hdr From: You <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" Order is important here. The first hook is a so-called "default hook", it gets executed every time. The second hook is only executed if any of the recipients have an email address with @work.domain.com in it. The "~C @work.domain.com" is a conditional expression that checks whether any of the recipients (To, Cc or Bcc) have @work.domain.com addresses. The command "my_hdr From: ..." sets up the From: header. There is another way to do this, since you say that you've set up a separate mailbox (mail folder, I guess) for your work emails. Mutt also has folder-hooks that get executed at folder-change time. You could set up folder-hooks like the above, that change your From: address depending on which mail folder you are in. However I'd personally prefer doing the selection based on the recipient address, not which folder I'm in. For more information, read the manual. :-) Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

More newbie question SMTP
Hi again, OK, so fetchmail->procmail->mutt now work correctly Colours aren't working right but I'm getting closer Thanks for everyone who assisted on the above problems. Now the newest problem is sending. I have a tremendous hate relationship with Sendmail, so I use Postfix pretty much everywhere, however on my puny little notebook computer where I live, I would prefer not to be running a smtp daemon at all times. I looked at a tool called nbsmtp, but everytime I attempt to send a message I get a 127 error. Error sending message, child exited 127 (Exec error.). So, how should I configure my smtp?

I use this: set index_format="%3C%?M?+& ? there's more to $index_format, but that's the relevant part. %3C gives the number of the message, and as someone else noted, if a thread is collpased, there's a jump in the numbering. Then the %?M?+& ? says "if there are messages hidden because of a collapsed thread, show a +, else a space".

You're on the right track. I'd recommend a dialup mail sending tool for you, sounds like you already tried one.

Once you've tagged everything you need, you press the ";" key and any command after that will be applied to all of the tagged messages. You can also put "set auto_tag" in your muttrc and you won't have to press the ";" key anymore. With auto_tag, once you have tagged a bunch of messages, you can just press "d" and all of them will be marked for deletion, or you can press "s" and all of them will be saved to the specified folder and automatically marked for deletion after that. To delete them all while still in mutt, press shift-$. Hope this answers your question. -- "Trust me": Translation of the Latin "caveat emptor."

Have a look at my mailrotate script at http://alpha.rulez.org/~drewie/rotatemail.sh It has some useful features like sending you verbose statistics about the mails of the last months and grepping for a string in the mailboxes (I use this to count the messages referring to my name on mailing lists, since it can be configured to ommit messages mailed by me). It needs grepmail (http://grepmail.sourceforge.net). Regards, Andras -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [drewie]@iRCnet http://alpha.rulez.org/~drewie/gpgkey.asc

Mutt already does that. Well, it doesn't actually use the -t option because it passes the recipient addresses as part of the command. But, it doesn't require sendmail to be running in daemon mode. If you don't have a background sendmail process running the queue (which one running in daemon mode will usually do), you will probably want to have cron run `sendmail -q` occasionally to send off any messages that couldn't be sent immediately. -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~aarons/ A successful [software] tool is one that was used to do something undreamed of by its author. -- S.

w3m as an alternative to urlview
I've used urlview to help me view URLs embedded in email, and it works fine, but when a message contains lots of URLs, it can be difficult to choose the right one since urlview provides no message context. I recently discovered a neat feature of the w3m browser that makes it an attractive alternative to urlview. Simply pipe the message or attachment to w3m as you would urlview. When invoked this way, w3m behaves as a pager, allowing you to read the message much as you would using less. Typing a colon (:) causes w3m to mark URL-like strings on the current page as anchors. Then move the cursor to the anchor/link of interest and type ESC M (note the upper-case M) which invokes an external browser on the link. Cool! Alternatively, you can just type RETURN instead of ESC M to use w3m itself to browse the link. To get this to work smoothly with netscape, I set the external browser in my ~/.w3m/config file like this: extbrowser /home/garyjohn/bin/netscape2 and created a netscape2 script containing the following line: netscape -remote "openURL($1, new-window)" 2> /dev/null || netscape $1 You could also use w3m as your mutt $pager all the time, but as a pager, I don't think w3m's interface is quite as nice as less's. You can get w3m from http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/eng/ -- Gary Johnson | Agilent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] | RF Communications Product Generation Unit | Spokane, Washington, USA

Slrn and Mutt
Has anyone successfully integrated Slrn and Mutt together in use with netscape? Or just so these programs can be used hand in hand... I have followed the information off of this site: http://www.acc.umu.se/~snaggen/hacks.html but I am having issues running the test.
