index_format dosen't work

2001-05-31 Thread Chris S.

Hello,

When I set the index_format var in my .muttrc it dosen't work.  It shows the
default instead.  Has anybody seen this before?  If I enter the command in
Mutt, it works.  All the other settings in my .muttrc seem to work.

set index_format="%3C %Z %(%b %d %I:%M%p)  %-20.20L %s"

OK, got it right now. In fact I was looking for an asterisk or an "T" to
show me that the file is tagged. That is not displayed.

Thanks for your help, saves me a lot of time. :-)))

french accented vowels, cedilla, etc.

2001-05-31 Thread Mark Glassberg

I'm using Mutt-2.1i, precompiled for Slackware.  From time to time I
receive email from Quebec with these characters.  The internal pager
displays them as "?", the editor, vi, shows them in what I gather is
quoted readable format, e.g. é is shown as =E9.  The only way I can
read them in Mutt is by using the forward command.

Admittedly this is a petty annoyance, but I'd appreciate hearing from
anyone who knows how to get the internal pager and/or my editor to
display these characters.

TIA



Error sending message.

2001-05-31 Thread Troy Heber

Hello, 

I'm stuck on a basic problem, I can use mutt fine as root, however when I try 
to send a message under my user account I get the following error:

Error sending message, child exited 69 (Service unavailable.)

I haven't been able to find any reference to that error message anywhere. 
What service is unavailable? Again it works fine as root. 

Any ideas?

Thanks, 

Troy

 Is your mailserver (say sendmail) setuid root?

key mapping?

2001-05-31 Thread dave hoye

TWIMC,

when I send messages from within mutt, the backspace keymapping is lost.  I am using 
the vim editor.  Is there an addition to the .muttrc to correct this? or is it a vim 
problem?

thanx in advance for the help

   Yup, it was missing a quote, and I thought I tried that since
   my other folder-hook entries have one at the beginning of the
   set section.  Anyway, it's working nicely now.

'd' mapping to delete in pager mode lost

2001-05-31 Thread Gaurav Priyolkar

Hi all,

The mapping of 'd' for 'delete message' seems to have been lost in
pager mode. Now, I have to hit 'Alt-d' to mark the current message for
deletion when in pager mode. In index mode thare is no problem.
I have not bound [dD] or alt combos of either to any function in my
muttrc. 
 
What could be the problem?

Batch sending postponed messages

Is there a way of sending all postponed messages as a batch without

No.

Actually, what you are describing heavily sounds like you should 
rather use your MTA's queue for the job.

 Is that Mandrake 7.2 by the way?  Their sendmail RPM had a bug in it which
