Colors when editing message

[Andreas Grytz]

Hello,

I have a small problem with quoted text when I edit a messages
(with vim).
It's displayed blue on on black. I wanted to have the black
background, but display the text brightblue.

I don't know which/where I do have to set this color.

Any hints?

Ciao,

Andreas

urlview

[Horace G. Friend III]

Hi All,

I d/led and installed urlview-0.9 which seem to work fine except that when I press 
CTRL-B, urlview reports that it has found a URL but it doesn't display any url.

How do I use the pipe command to pipe to say links? I've tried it but it crashed my 
xterm. I'm using KDE 2.0.

Thanks in advance.

filtering

[Horace G. Friend III]

Hi All,

I'm very new in linux and in mutt but everything seems to be working fine.

I've long given up on text mail readers but since I've come across mutt my interest 
has been rekindled. It seems like a powerful MUA but it's a bit difficult and time 
consuming to configure. Nevertheless the results are just great.

Read mail from ~/var/spool/mail are transfered to ~/Mail/mbox by default. Is there a 
way for them to be transfered to their respective mailboxes based on their headers 
(like a filter or something)? Can a macro do this too?

see http://www.hserus.net/mua.html for some mutt stuff - or
http://mutt-newbie.sourceforge.net (whatever little's there).  lots more linked
from www.mutt.org

put this in your .muttrc ...
set move=no # don't ask about moving messages, just dont

Re: Colors when editing message

[Andreas Grytz]

I am sorry for being so unprecise. I don't have a problem with
the color of the background. I wanted the font of the qutoed text
to be more bright. The second level quoted text is cyan, which is
fine. Now I wanted the first level quoted text to be brightblue
instead of blue.

Thanks a lot up to here,


Andreas

Help, cant send with mutt

[Dave Murray]

Hello,

I was able to set up the pop3 for my ISP's mail server and receive mail with
mutt just fine.  Now how do I set up sendmail for smtp to my ISP mail server?

Thanks in advance,

subject-hook?

[David T-G]

Hi, all --

I have a folder which keeps some business items, and I use folder-hook
and send-hook commands in there as you might expect.  I often send mail
to a particular recipient as usual, too, and that's the same sort of
boring activity as anything else.  When I send him an invoice, however,
I'd like to automatically add a bcc: recipient, but I can't figure out
how to trigger it.  What I really want is to match on both the To: field
and the Subject: field for a new message (rather than a reply), though
the latter part isn't as important, and specify a my_hdr if it fits.

Can it be done?


TIA & HAND

There's an example of commands to put in your vimrc file that will
automatically reformat lines in emails.  It wraps lines with quotes and
stuff.

For me it was /usr/share/doc/vim/examples/mail

Wierd Behaviour

[Robert Martinovic]

Hey,

I can't pinpoint when, but recently mutt started showing some strange 'graphical' 
behaviour:

* I use mutt with eterm on Debian Linux, and now when mutt starts, it overrides any 
background pic i may have in the terminal
* Mutt has the term font in a light grey, even though I haven't specified this anywhere
* Some default keybindings don't work - such as when pressing c to changes mailboxes, 
? doesn't work

Any suggestions?

Welcome back. :)  One suggestion I have is that when you have the
time, sit with the mutt manual and build a muttrc from the ground up.
I did that so I saw everything available and had everything set that I
wanted.  Granted I ask things every once in a while here that are in
the manual and I didn't know, since I built my muttrc with mutt 0.88.

Re: How to read mutt-users-digest

[kevin . christen]

I left out one crucial constraint: I'm reading the mutt-users digest
via IMAP, so it never gets locally delivered by procmail.  I wrote a
little perl script that runs formail while "preserving" some of the
headers in the digest (like "sender").  But that's an ugly solution
and I thought someone might have a better one.

Limiting on non-subject fields

[Debbie Tropiano]

Hello -

Another mutt newbie (and elm lover  :-) here with a question:

How does one do limiting on fields other than the subject field?
In elm I can do "l to mutt" and limit to all messages sent to
the mutt mailing lists.  So far I've not found a way to do this
with mutt (OTOH I haven't ready *everything* there is to read
about mutt yet).

Thanks in advance for any help,
Debbie

Mutt under Win2k

[Norbert Lieckfeldt]

I am trying to use mutt under win2k and under Mandrake 7.2. It works fine
under Linux. Having tried Mutt, going back to Pine is quite painful.

Having downloaded the cygwin files, I am trying to start the shell but
when executing the command 'mutt' in c:\cygwin\bin, I get the message that
cygint.dll cannot be found. Any ideas where I can get this from. I tried
dej^H^H^H Google but without success.

Thanks

Use this as a limit pattern: "~C mutt"

As an alternative, read the muttrc(5) manual page which has a
section on building patterns.

Re: Colors when editing message

[Roel Vanhout]

Hi,

set background=dark doesn't actually set your background to dark, it
just tells vim that you use a dark background, and this way vim knows
that it has to use light colors in the syntax highlighting. Anyway, in
case you already knew this ;-), i would suggest downloading the vim
reference guide from vim.org and start reading at p35, all the
highlighting is described there, including how to change colors. But I
must say that I have no problems with the default mail highlighting
colors (on a dark background). 

cheers,

roel

Re: urlview

[David T-G]

Horace --

First, you should know that the proper address for the mutt-users list is
@mutt.org rather than @gbnet.  The latter sometimes leaks out because
that's where the list is actually hosted, but please don't use it.

...and then Horace G. Friend III said...
% Hi All,
% 
% I d/led and installed urlview-0.9 which seem to work fine except that when I press 
CTRL-B, urlview reports that it has found a URL but it doesn't display any url.

When you hit Ctrl-B, you hand the message off to urlview and start it up.
You have to select the URL and hit return, though, to have it processed.
There is, IIRC, a configuration file which will control how urlview
behaves, including what browser to fire off under what conditions.

If you can pipe to cat or less, mutt is working.  I dunno about links or
the URL you're trying to pipe, so I can't really provide any suggestions
about why you'd have those problems...

Depends on how all you files look like, for example do you use all
defaults, do you have your own defined syntax file, what is your
~/.vimrc already doing or do you use the systemwide rc file ??

Ok, I just assume you have a ~/.vimrc and all it does is something
like syntax on or similar to get you some colors.
For an already loaded file try this command in execution mode
:so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/mail.vim (Doppelpunkt so ...)
If the result is different from your actual, put in your ~/.vimrc:
source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/mail.vim
Restart vim and check whether you get the same as seen before.
If not, you might change the line where you put it.

The default definitions for colours are in those 2 files
/usr/share/vim or similar, subdir /syntax/ and then
1. synload.vim
2. mail.vim
As far as I can see from my mail.vim all quoting levels are colored
as Comment and as Identifier which is in synload.vim defined cyan
with additions which my console interpretes equally as BrightCyan.
So then all your quote levels should ideally be brightcyan then.
3. hint: for colors there is also a colortest.vim

If that worked copy that $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/mail.vim somewhere to
your home and adjust the mailQuotedx lines according to the color
each quote level should have. In case you have defined other colors
somewhere, you should know which file to take for reference.
Load your mail again, this time do a ":so /path/to/mymail.vim" and
check whether it works (should be fine now) and then replace the
sourcing path in your .vimrc by this one.

For detailed information see a subdir called doc/ for a file
called syntax.txt. ;-)

You'll probably get better-looking results if you run some kind of
man2html converter so that you can read stuff via a web browser.
