Getting current folder name
Hi, I am searching for a way to get the current selected folder for scripting. I want something like this: folder-hook . source $MATCHED_FOLDER.rc Depending on what folder I entered, I want to know what folder that was. Maybe storing the wohle path in a shell variable, something like that. Kai. -- k a i w e b e r | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] w w w | http://www.glorybox.de/
MTA trying to deliver to all options
I did not change my mutt(.5i) version and compiled it like I did before. Suddenly I am having problems with mutts passing the deliver command to my MTA. I have this problem with masqmail and with postfix Both say the same thing, the MTA is trying to deliver mail to all options passed by mutt when sending a local mail from/to testusers erika@localhost/albert@localhost: maqmail daemon-notify: Delivery to the following recipients failed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> postfix-log lines: qmgr[]: 9236422F44: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=455, nrcpt=11 (queue active) qmgr[]: 9236422F44: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (invalid recipient syntax: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") qmgr[]: 9236422F44: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, accordingly qmgr[]: 9236422F44: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, accordingly qmgr[]: 9236422F44: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, accordingly qmgr[]: 9236422F44: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, accordingly qmgr[]: 9236422F44: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, accordingly What am I missing in my muttrc to make that work correctly?

While you're doing that, find out what the name of the currently-edited (or last edited) message is ;-) That is to say, I don't think you can do that. These would have to be environmental variables set by mutt, and I don't think mutt sets any of these. However, you can use "-" to return to the previous folder on the command, so perhaps you could use that in .muttrc, like you can use "!" to set mailboxes. -- Greg MathesonThere is nothing as good as a Chinmin College, practical theory.

So set mbox_type=mbox before you save. Since you can't make this into a single macro I splitted it up to two: # toggle mbox_type macro generic 'set mbox_type="mbox"\ echo "mbox_type now mbox"' "save to mbox" macro generic 'set mbox_type="Maildir"\ echo "mbox_type now Maildir"' "save to Maildir" s/Maildir/MH/g for your purpose.

Browser.c
Good (morning/afternoon/everning), I've been wanting, for a long time now, to view in my browser only the folders I have specified in my muttrc like when you run mutt with -y or like when you press . I was looking into browser.c and started editting (without having any knowledge whatsoever in c) to see if I could in fact put it that way. Well, the only thing I managed was putting 'Mut Mailboxes [2]' permanentlly. I was wondering if someone that has done it before could help me out with this, or at least point me in some direction. Maybe this should go in mutt-dev instead of mutt-users. Well, that's a shot. Thanks in advanced. --- Nelson D.

I think I may have found a solution for this idea. I patched mx.c to
set the current folder in the environment (attached). Then I created a
script which does something similar:
#!/bin/sh
echo -ne "\033]2;MUTT - $MUTTMAILBOX\007"
However, I couldn't get a folder-hook like the one you suggest to work.
Instead I had to do:
folder-hook . 'push !~/bin/mutt-xterm-title\n'
Is there a better way to do that? Unfortunately that interferes with
the typing of my imap password. I don't like storing the password in
the configuration file, but at least it works.

That's the function of the mailbox screen, which is already there.

While you are hacking away, try to make the mailbox screen hierarchical like the Unix directory structure is. That is, can you make it so you have one set of mailboxes in one screen and another set in another screen? ;-) If these mailboxes have to be in different directories that is OK. I have 125 students and I have one mailbox for each of their individual lists of their mail their penpals, and another for the error messages from each of these lists. I think there are more I can't remember at the moment. They are also in class groups with different maillists. That makes more than 300 mailboxes. I don't want to work with limits in the index screen. But there are too many mailboxes for the mailbox screen! At the moment I have wrappers around mutt that rewrite the .muttrc mailboxes line for each of these three groups of mailbox, as well as writing macros to work through the mailbox screen. And I open three separate instances of mutt. But the amount of perl I learned doing this was phenomenal. And they are still difficult to use. What I want is to have a key like change folders in the index screen. You can use this to change from one mailfolder to another. But instead what I want to do is change mailbox screens. I then can move around in a separate set of mailboxes. Think what it would be like without directories in Unix. Everything would be all messed up. Or think about having all of your mail in one folder. The single mailbox screen has the same problem. The 3-deep hierarchy of mutt is too limiting. Three levels of Unix directories would not be enough. The 3-level mailbox-index-pager classification also needs to be extended at the top end. -- Greg Matheson Learn a third language and Chinmin College,be born again, again. Taiwan

You might get what you are looking for from Gregor Hoffleit's patch in
a message posted earlier today. I will attach it at the end.

~ trying to Install Mutt-1.3.20 from tar.gz downloaded

new 'to_chars' flag? (talking to oneself)
Hi, I used to mixed text files amongst my email messages prior to using mutt and still do so, although I wonder whether there is a better way. Basically I use this as a means of storing notes and other tidbits related to mail received around the same general time. Obviously this is using mutt in a manner for which it wasn't designed and there are arguments for and against it - which I would like to solicit (being new to mutt and not familiar with the relevant RFCs): 1) Right now I send myself a blank email. This ends up in my spool mailbox after which I edit it, leaving the header intact except for the Subject:, and then save it in the appropriate mailbox/maildir; ie, the From: and To: fields both have my address. This works but is ugly. I would rather not have to bother the mail server. 2) An alternative, which I haven't yet gotten to work yet would be to create a template text file with a header which has my address in both the From: and To: fields and then get it into mutt by using "cat textfile | procmail". I could make a macro out of this - but it is still butt ugly. Right now when I save to something other than the spool mailbox the resultant time displayed for the message in the index menu is 'Jan 1'. 3) An extension to the 'alternates' configuration variable in which 'to_chars' would have another flag say 'M' which can stand for memo, message, etc. The flag turns on when mutt detects that the From: and the To: field contain your address but all other fields are blank (ie Cc:, Bcc:, Fcc: etc). In response mutt would go to a new configuration variable which would contain a string that it would display as the receipient - if not set it would just show the default "To ". Was this already considered when 'to_chars' was set up? If so what's the background? Adding this feature would require more than meets the eye - I'm not up enough on mutt to know precisely what... has anyone's bloat detector gone off yet? Does anyone else do something like this?

my_hdr and fcc-hook
Hi mutt users, I´ve got a problem with "my_hdr From:" and "fcc-hook". If "my_hdr From:" is set, Mutt doesn´t produce a Fcc-Line. Is this a bug?

Looks like no fcc-hook is matching your mail. What are your fcc-hooks like? If they just use a simple regexp (i.e. without '~'), then they are evaluated according to the 'default-hook' variable. The default for default-hook is "~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)" ^^^ As it uses ~P, perhaps you haven't correctly set your 'alternates' variable? HTH, Cedric.

I think there is usually no need to merge components/attachments. Just
because I sometimes want to quote from another message I don't think
it's worth adding such a function to mutt for me. Maybe it's good enough
to save the other message to a file, read it into vim using :r and
delete it again later when finished.
