This kind of hardcoding a behavior resticts you to it. Better use the "mutt -f MAILFOLDER"-command directly from the shell- prompt.

Re: Netscape and mutt
The problem was that Netscape would not follow the link set up by ln -s (I tried your suggestion). When files were manipulated from w/in Netscape, a new file directory was created with the changes in it. The original linked directory (the source directory for ln -s) was not updated. That is why I did not see any changes from within mutt. I got around this problem by forcing Netscape to use my Mail directory, rather than its standard nsmail directory. Now Netscape is not forced to follow the link to make its updates- it can update the mail file directly. Does anyone foresee any problems with this solution? Is this a bug that should be reported to Netscape? thanx for the tips- dave On Thu, Jun 14, 2001 at 12:33:28PM -0700, Jason Helfman wrote: > ln -s nsmail > > This way netscape and mutt will share nicely. > > On Thu, Jun 14, 2001 at 02:57:07PM -0400, Louis LeBlanc muttered: > | On 06/14/01 11:07 AM, dave hoye sat at the `puter and typed: > | > All, > | > > | > I have a folder that I direct html mail to and view with Netscape (rather than >mutt).

Mutt hangs on Subject
i've been using Mutt on my mail account machine for a while now. it's a great replacement for elm. plus, it supports IMAP which i wanted at home. so i just built and installed Mutt 1.2.5i on my Solaris 8/SPARC machine at home. got my IMAP server setup and working correctly, mail works great, except for one minor thing. when i send mail, i type m, fill in the email address, hit enter, and type in the subject. i then hit enter and it hangs with the Subject: showing. if i Ctrl-C it'll go on to vi and i can type my email, and then i can send as normal. it all works, it just hangs when i hit enter after typing in the subject. i just don't want to have to hit Ctrl-C every time i want to send a message. any ideas? thanks, -brian
compiling Mutt with ncurses
When I built ncurses-5.2, I set the installation prefix to /usr/local. The libraries are in /usr/local/lib, which I expect. But the header files are grouped into a /usr/local/include/ncurses directory. The configure script for mutt-1.2.5i can't figure this out --- or maybe I can't figure out how to set --with-curses=DIR. Is there a nice way to this work? Or is it time to hack the configure script? Any suggestions are welcome! -- Eugene Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED]

how insert mail-messages into body of msg I'm cmposing in mutt w/vim
What's the best way to insert one or two of the mail-messages that I have sitting in my inbox -- the current folder -- (and, say, one from another mail-folder) into an outgoing message that I'm composing (from within vim) in mutt? Is there more than one way? This is very simple to do with 'readmsg' in elm. Can it be done as simply and easily with mutt/vim? (I've been using mutt for awhile but haven't done this in so long I've forgotten how. TIA.) -- // [EMAIL PROTECTED] //
mutt hanging on solaris (update)
i spoke incorrectly, it also hangs when i reply, after i say yes i want to include the message in reply, it hangs at: Including quoted message... or: Fetching message... so it has something to do with the transition from mutt to vi. any ideas? -brian
Strange messages
Hi, I don't know if this is related to mutt or the list software, but I keep getting messaages from a particular list of the following format: 1 [multipa/alternativ] 2 +-> [text/plain] 3 +-> [text/plain] 4 +-> [multipa/related] 5 +-> [text/html] 2 is the textual body of the list post, and 5 it's HTML form. 3 is the listserv's signature. 1 displays 3, and 4 displays 5. In pine and most other mailers, 3 is displayed followed by 2 (so it makes sense!), but mutt displays part 1 (sig only!). Who's right here? I think the messages probably start life as multipart/alternative of 2 and 5, and then 3 is added and the message mauled by the listserver. Regards, Luke -- Luke Ross - http://lcr.sys3175.co.uk

The script should recognize this (I haven't looked recently, but thought that mutt's configure script used chunks of script that I'd written to encompass this). -- Thomas E.

Re: Accented characters
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Summing up all the suggestion received to solve my Italian accented vowels problem, in the end I resorted to putting in /etc/profile the following two lines: export LANG=en_US export LC_CTYPE=it_IT This enable me to have accented vowels while still working with Debian in English. In fact, owing to the still poor Debian's translation into Italian and my partecipacion in many Debian's and other NGs, it is by far better to stick to English as far as diagnostic is concerned.

CF_CURSES_LIBS is not used in 1.2.5, and the parts we "borrowed" don't cover header file location. Hhm, just by looking at it now I cannot figure out whether CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS or CF_ADD_INCDIR does the right thing in the situation described ...

I think vim tries to write to the title of the xterm if DISPLAY is set, or some such...I haven't had this problem in a while and I forget the details. But vim is (or was) sometimes slow loading because of that (although especially when one's DISPLAY is set to a remote computer, which it isn't in this case). Just to test to see if that's it, you might want to unset it before calling mutt and see if that helps. How long do you wait before hitting ^C? -- Jim Toth [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Strange messages
Hi, Inspecting an example message in the mailbox reveals that the structure is as per the display, except the main body (part 1) is of type: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="B1" How does the interpretation of multipart/mixed differ from multipart/alternative, and why does mutt show the former as the latter in this case?

filtering a maildir
Greetings Muttsters, I use Mutt/Fetchmail/Maildrop/Postfix and was wondering if there's an easy way to run my Maildrop filters against a maildir. I've been putting several distribution lists in the same maildir and now it's a bit too large and would like to re-filter it into two different maildirs. There's nearly 1,000 messages. Any help is appreciated...jc
