I'm doing it this way:

source ~/.mutt/colors.`if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ] ; then echo \
linux ; else echo default ; fi`

This depends on several factors:

- Your curses library must support colors.  Make sure that
  "mutt -v" displays "+HAVE_COLOR", not "-HAVE_COLOR".
  
- Your terminal must support colors.  Setting TERM to
  xterm won't give you color support. Try xterm-color, or,
  if you have a sufficiently-recent xterm and ncurses
  version installed, TERM=xterm-xf86-v33.

- Finally, you should put some color definitions into your
  ~/.muttrc. ;-)

The 3.3.x series isn't the most recent - that would be the 4.x series
(I made some improvements to keyboard layout in 4.x, as well as added
optional support for UTF-8).

The XFree86 xterm supports ANSI color and VT220 emulation

Yes, but it would be nice if I didn't have to add any extra stuff,
just use any mutt from anywhere, quickly.

Compiling ssmtp with sasl auth libraries on different
platforms every now and then is a bit messy.

I tend to find myself a netscape messenger instead,
enable SMTP auth and use my SIMAP mailboxes from there.

I'd rather slap my portable .muttrc in place and
use good old mutt.

gnupg and pgp incompatibility

[Dennis Robertson]

Hello List,
I am trying to correspond with a friend who uses Windows and Eudora 4.3.2 (gasp!) with 
PGP
6.5.3. I use mutt and gnupg 1.0.1 ;).  When he invokes decrypt on my messages  all he 
sees
is: "Content-type: text/plain: charset=us-ascii".  That is the end of the process;  no 
text
is visible.  He has no difficulty corresponding with me and others using pgp and 
windows. I
have read of mutt's alleged shortcomings with mime on the qmail list.
Is there a way to make mutt/gnupg and windows/eudora/pgp 6.5.3 talk to each other?
TIA.

POP3 fetching redirect to other mailbox

[Daniel Roesen]

Hi!

Is it possible to redirect mails fetched by the built-in POP3
fetching facility to any other mailbox folder than the standard
inbox? Having the fetched mails saved into the current or a
predefined (in muttrc) mailbox would be very convenient.


Best regards
Daniel

According to the manual mutt delivers to $spoolfile.
'Mutt will fetch all your new mail and place it in the local
spoolfile.'
If you did not set $spoolfile explicitly. If defaults to the value
of $MAIL.

> Having the fetched mails saved into the current or a

If you don't like this behavior set $spoolfile to any path you like.
I wouldn't recommend altering $spoolfile but use fetchmail / procmail
instead. 

HTH,

Michael

For starters you could give the manual a chance :)
Presuming you installed mutt at the default place:

/usr/local/doc/mutt/manual.txt
/usr/local/doc/mutt/html/manual.html

gnupg

[L Vogtmann]

Hello,
I'm new to this list, so I'm sorry if this question has been answered before.
I have mutt-1.2.4i and gnupg-1.0.2 installed.  Using the supplied 
sample/gpg.rc file I can sign messages fine.  But I cannot encrypt.  I just prompts 
for a key id, and when I enter that (every way I know how, Full Name , 
email@address, and 0xNUMBERABC) it just beeps at me.  I then press ^G, and it says 
Looking for keys matching "Full Name "...
What am I doing wrong?  Gpg by itself will encrypt just fine, and the commands 
in the rc file seem to work when I substitute the variables myself.
I will attach my .muttrc and .gnupg files to this message.
Thanks for you help.

Can't you do something like:

source ~/.mutt/$TERM

and then just create a different muttrc file for each terminal?

I am wondering how a *theme* can add GUI functionality to a non-GUI program.

ETerm "themes" allow you to customize the menus at the top of the
window.  It's not really adding "GUI functionality." Essentially what
Eterm does is push keystrokes into the window.  So it's like "mouse
selectable macros"

Are you certain that you have mutt properly configured?  What do you
for a content-type if you bcc yourself one of these messages?  What
about Fcc:?

I don't know about these allegations.  As far as I know, mutt does
PGP/MIME perfectly, but does not do SMIME or application/pgp.  Eudora
4.3.2 will issue valid PGP/MIME, which mutt can read, but it can not
read PGP/MIME issued by either mutt or itself.  (Yes: Eudora cannot
read its own output.)

There are procmail rules for bending Eudora's usual PGP output into a
format Mutt can work with.  Check the web site or list archives.

So, short answer: Eudora can send to Mutt, but Mutt can't send to
Eudora, and it's Eudora's fault.

(Actually there are ways to make Mutt send messages that Eudora can
handle, but these are kludgy and don't involve proper MIME.  I think
they involve macros.  Again, check the web or archives.)

gpg encrypt

[L Vogtmann]

Still can't encrypt, but I've narrowed it down to a problem with the 
"pgp_getkeys_command".

I don't get a "menu" as described in the FAQ or manual.  I just get a prompt to enter 
the key id for who I am encrypting to.  And it will not accept ANYTHING is a valid key.

I started with mutt-1.2.4i and gnupg-1.0.1.  I've since read all of the Mutt+PGP/GnuPG 
HOWTO, FAQ, Manual, and quite a few muttrc files.  I've upgraded to gnupg-1.0.2, I've 
downgraded to mutt-1.2i.

I can sign things fine.  I just can't encrypt.  Please help, this is bugging the crap 
out of me!
