I used mercury/32 for quite a long time (before I moved from OS/2 to

My home systems still use Pegasus as the rest of the family have Win32
machines.  Pegasus is one of the better Win32 MUAs in my opinion, I
just don't like the multiple windows it spawns.  I handles IMAP pretty
well now.

How to download mutt?

2000-07-18 Thread Sriranga Nadiger

Hi,

Just got curious about mutt while browsing through
Prof. Matloff's
page. But all my attempts to download mutt went don the
drain..
Most of the links don't work and if they do, ftp
connection breaks
down when it is half way through. ( I know having
larger bandwidth
helps!!)

Any ideas as to where I can get the binary or the
sources that can be
installed / built on HP-UX 10.20 (or something
similar..but HP-UX!).

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Regards,
Ranga

Failing to get lock - consequences?

2000-07-18 Thread cgreen

I just composed a mail in mutt and 'sent' it.  Mutt then sat trying to
get an fcntl lock, presumably on my sentmail mbox, it failed after
however many tries it does.

My question is - was the mail sent or not?

Strangely enough when I fired up mutt again to look in the sentmail
file (mutt -f +sentmail) it had a few retries at locking it again and
then succeeded, showing me that the mail I had just sent wasn't saved
there.

Grep your MTA logs - /var/log/sendmail, /var/log/maillog or whatever for
the mail.  Whatever the filename (varies betn MTAs and even betn distros)

Well, this is actually only partially true.  You can use

Filtering messages.

2000-07-18 Thread Caster

Hi!
I want to make myself kind of "template" for writing mails. I think the
best way would be a filter, that could put some text in a new mail. The
filter is not a problem, but I wonder how to call it automatically
within Mutt (when I tell Mutt to open my favourite vim :) to edit a
message, but of course before the editor starts). I thought the best
will be a send-hook, something like:
send-hook the_pattern `call_the filter`. However it's impossible to pass
the name of the file which contains the pre-message.
Then came another idea. I put something like this into my config file:
set editor="the_filer %s; vim %s". It works and it's possible to have
different filters for different addresees (with a send-hook pattern 'set
editor="filter_no_2 %s; vim %s"'). Now I just wonder if there is a "nicer"
way to solve my problem?
BTW: Why the '' are necessary when I define a hook and there are "" in
the expression (like: send-hook mutt-users 'set attribution="sth"')?

No, I think that that's it.  I certainly can't think of a cleaner way,

The '' protect the hook from being evaluated, while the "" (or '')
insulate the spaces.  You can often skip the '' but there are times when
it's necessary.

compiling mutt w/o changing language

Hi folks,

I just compiled mutt on a box with German language enabled and I found out
that
a) mutt in German sux (no, not less this time :)
b) somehow mutt doesn't manage to get theese Umlauts right
   it say "unverndert" instead of "unverändert"
Is there a way to tell mutt not to translate this stuff? My mutt 1.1.14 on
this box says "unchanged" instad and I quite like it this way.

gpg and clearsigning in 1.2.4

2000-07-18 Thread David T-G

Hi, folks --

I'm finally up to speed using mutt 1.2.4i and with a new gpg-generated
key (uploaded to wwwkeys.{us,eu}.pgp.net, though BAL's keyserver appears
to be dead now), and everything seems to be working peachily.  Woo hoo!
I trust that this message will be signed with my 4k key, whose print is

  D26E AFA7 1E48 DFD5 CA95  6D39 5127 299A B66D 9EEA

but we'll see when it goes out.

Now to figure out how to manage keys; thank heavens gpg at least lets you
have multiple keyrings (though I don't yet have the keys dropping into
the catch-all ring as expected...).

I see and have read the manual section 6.3.120 (hey, BTW, is the
reference section supposed to be arranged alphabetically? 'cuz it
isn't entirely so...) but don't see a command key or function to call
pgp_clearsign_command.  How do I clearsign a message -- presuming,
of course, that I would want to risk the wrath of all the net and do so?

Why am I not surprised? ;)  All the techies are on pine here and all the

'&' character?

Well, the "t" and "m" are actually extended ASCII bar characters,

Verifying signatures and other (problems?) with GPG

2000-07-18 Thread Caster

I have noticed a bit annoying behaviour when I set the automatic verify
of PGP signatures. It's because the screen is not refreshed after that.
The worst is when I don't have someone's key in my keyring: I see two
status bars then :( When I got the desired key, it's just one "S"
instead of "-" on the status bar. "Refresh screen" command is the cure,
but is there any way to call it automatically (maybe some hack in
pgp_verify_command?)?
I have also another problem. If I set the automatic verify variable to
"no", it's not possible to verify somebody's sign! There's no such
command (and no such function in the manual, so I can't bind it)! Of
course I can still define a macro piping the message to gpg, but I would
like to do it in more civilized way :) The same thing is with other
pgp_commands -- for example pgp_getkeys_command. It's defined, but I
can't call it!

I've encountered a similar situation... I thought umlautes and stuff worked
right earlier, but they don't now. Only on the linux machines, under X.
Opening an xterm and rlogin'ing/ssh'ing in to solaris boxes to run mutt
there works fine. Installing charmaps-0.0 didn't fix things. Nor setting
LANG and LC_CTYPE. Running old versions doesn't seem to work, so it's
possible something changed somewhere.

The only significant difference I've found in configurations is that my
Solaris version has +HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET and the Linux version has
-HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET

I notice vim and more don't have problems, so |more works ok for the rare
occaisions it affects my life.

Yes.  Somehow I became unsubscribed, and I thought the first

Apparently it went through anyway.

Actually, I was limiting some messages.  So I suppose it means
that it's part of a thread, but the full thread is not displayed?

pgp_encrypt_self with 1.2.4 and gpg

2000-07-18 Thread David T-G

Hi, folks --

I am very dismayed to find that messages that I send out, even though I
have specified

  set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap gpg -v --batch --output - --encrypt 
--textmode --armor --always-trust -- -r B66D9EEA %r -- %f"
  set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap gpg --passphrase-fd 0 -v --batch --output - 
--encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r B66D9EEA %r -- %f"

where B66D9EEA is my key, are encrypted for the other recipient only.

What do I need to do to ensure that I can read my own outgoing messages?
[No, I'm not interested in fcc_clear; thanks.]
