folder hook for scrolling down?
Hi, When I open some mailbox I get to the index window, and the 'cursor' is positioned on the first message (which is the oldest one). How can I tell mutt to automatically go to the last message? (now I have to type G to do that).

This is what I am using to do that: bind index P collapse-all bind index \cp collapse-thread # ctrl+p # Collapse threads by default, and jump to the last message folder-hook . push "P*" I'm not sure what collapse-all is bound to by default, but I find it easier to read mail without seeing every thread open. I think * is the default key for jumping to the last message though. Hope that was helpful. I guess you could also set the default sort order to be reversed by date, but that just looks odd. -- Chris Gushue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mutt.lazygenes.net http://www.blackplasma.net PGP signature
Re: folder hook for scrolling down?
Thanks for the tip. I now use the following, which works: folder-hook . push "G" quite simple ;) - that's what I like about mutt.

Mutt 1.3.12
Hello Mutt-Users, Yesterday I have installed an actual unstable Mutt release with NNTP-Patch (from Volkov). Now I have two problems. First I want to have old behavior of "i", the Index of Newsgroups should be "F5" or so. Second my inbox is readonly, I can't toggle it with "%". My inbox-file is a symbolic link to /var/spool/mail/waldemar With Mutt 1.2.5i it works out of the box. What's wrong?? Thanks for any comments. -- MfG Waldemar Brodkorb Linux rulez!

New mail detection
Hi! I'm sad - the detection of new mail is not working anymore :(( The worst thing is - I can't even imagine, what might have gone wrong. Can I somehow see, which mailboxes are being watched by Mutt? I have a typical line "mailboxes `ls /home/nikolai/Mail/Mails/*`" in my .muttrc, but still - new mails are not detected. Can someone help? Ask for further info, if you need it... Best regards, Nikolai.

Did you also check the mail archive link from mutt.org?

sending encrypted mail from command line
Hi, To send a text file using mutt from a cron script, I use: cat text_file.txt | mutt -s test_message user@address and it works fine. But I want to send this file encrypted... What do I need to do? Are there command line options to do it? Thanks, Pedro -- Why don't you try 'Mutt' and 'GnuPG'?

I'm getting similar but *only* for my ~/mbox which is my default inbox used by procmail. my mailboxes line in .muttrc is actually a script which outputs the following: =Archive =Home/Family =Home/Self =Lists/ILUG/Archive =Lists/ILUG/Social =Lists/ILUG/edu =Lists/ILUG/main =Lists/Mailman =Lists/Mutt-users =Lists/linuxchix =Met-Eireann/MetEireann =Met-Eireann/North =subscriptions ~/mbox The script sorts the folders and creates folder hooks that make the browser select whichever mailbox I'm currently looking at rather than the first each time which is why I have the script rather than a plain mailboxes line. Anyhow, ~/mbox doesn't get checked for new mail while others do. -- Conor Daly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Domestic Sysadmin :-) - 6:40pm up 1 day, 1:48, 1 user, load average: 0.21, 0.08, 0.02
