folder-hook pattern matching
I'm trying to set up a folder-hook that matches all mailboxes I read beginning with a specific character. However, the ^ metacharacter does not appear to work at all for some reason. Here's an example that should work but does not: folder-hook ^b 'save-hook . =bobby' Putting single quotes or quotation marks around the pattern has no effect. I must be missing something simple, yet I can't figure it out. Any tips would be appreciated. Mutt 1.2i (2000-05-09) Copyright (C) 1996-2000 Michael R. Elkins and others.

"You may not delete the only attachment."
How can I make mutt allow me to "...delete the only attachment" ? In cases where a message body is truly not necessary, like emailing a list server where the commands go in the subject, it really frustrates me that I can't delete the extra stuff, which would be simple if it weren't for this restriction. A lot of times when I'm emailing files to people, I put the description in the subject, and delete the message body (which I can do since there's still another attachment - the file). -- http://www.ChaosReigns.com PGP signature

Leave the message body blank, willya? That should solve the problem.

The reason is that there is no tty available, so in that case Mutt will only run in the automatic mail sending mode. Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

You can either make the help line visible or invisible, but that's where the customization features end. I asssume it would be quite trivial to make the help line to just display any text that the user wants, with the help of a Mutt variable. Nobody's just needed that yet, so it's not been done...

Here's an example that : should work but does not: : : folder-hook ^b 'save-hook . =bobby' Figured it out, with a bit of a tip from David Champion (thanks dude!) : folder-hook =^b 'save-hook . =bobby' Of course this reminds me that the pattern either matches the entire absolute filesystem pathname or any piece of the absolute pathname. There's no shortcut to match a relative pathname. For example, the above working folder-hook works for this path: /home/eugene/Mail/bob but does not work for this path: /home/eugene/Mail/info/bills It would be nice to have another mailbox shortcut that would act as a pseudo directory separator that refers to your current directory.

Own header
Hi, I need to set my own headers in my e-mail messages, I know how to do the usual From: Reply-To etc. But my problem now is that I need to override the default headers like Content-Type: text/plain to whatever I want. I can do it the usual way using my_hdr, but mutt adds its own header saying Content-Type: text/plain over my header, so some mailers end up not recognizing my header. So, I guess my question would be how do I get mutt to not generate its default (Content-Type) header.. or make mutt recognize my header and respect it? thank you, Aravind

If you have mail arriving in your mailbox continuously put set mail_check=10 # how often to poll for new mail in your .muttrc (that value is in minutes). Or just press $ to sync your mailbox once in a while if you want to check for new mail before that interval. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI The main problem I have with cats is, they're not dogs. -- Kevin Cowherd

That would be I. >Does anyone have an example >of such a recipe? Not yet. But I'll elaborate a little further with what I know of recipes, to give people suggestions should they want to take it to the next level. I've found that with GPG (at least 1.0.4), it's unnecessary to have a separate key fetching command, as GPG will do it automatically if you tell it a keyserver to try either on the command line or in the options file. You can probably "hook into" the recipe given in the FAQ for adding the PGP MIME header for traditional messages. The c flag (at the beginning of the recipe) can be used to copy the message to both gpg and formail. Or the creative use of a pipeline with tee(1) and a named FIFO can be crafted.
