Re: what makes mutt recognize mbox files?
Thanks for all your suggestions, here the results: running file on it returns: ASCII English text (file ~/Mail/archive/postponed returns the same) (file ~/Mail/archive/mutt returns ASCII mail text) but both are recognized as mail files by vim and mutt cat -vET only shows the $ after every last word in a line (the postponed archive too) These are the headers in real, anonymized of course: snip --- this is the very first line --- From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun, 26 Aug 2001 02:46:52 -0500 Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2001 02:46:52 -0500 From: x [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Newbie] RE: Subject line here message here.

I tried to add some other headers you would normally see, negative. I tried to insert Lines: , no success. I copied my postponed file in front of it, no success. Any other ideas what could be the reason? (I know Lenght: is not yet tried, but how would I get that for one message in an mbox?) In that case I guess it would be easier to make myself a little sed wrapper for searching the file instead of thinking a mailing list archive has anything to do with a mail client ;)) -- Erika Pacholleck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mutters: insert vowels of last name

Re: Read only inbox
Doug -- ...and then Doug Kearns said... % Hello all, Hi! % % I've just recently upgraded to mutt 1.3.22 and it seems I can no longer % delete mail from my inbox - /var/spool/mail/doug It sounds like mutt can't write to your spool file, or at least thinks it can't. I trust that you've tried to toggle read-only with '%'. If you have your old mutt, run /usr/bin/ls -lF /path/to/old/mutt and see what group it is and what the group permissions are -- are they just r-x or the special r-s that means "set group-id on execution"? Check the same thing for an old mutt_dotlock program. Now take a look at your new mutt. First, though, run mutt -v and look for Mutt 1.3.22.1i (2001-08-30) Copyright (C) 1996-2001 Michael R. Elkins and others. Mutt comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `mutt -vv'. Mutt is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `mutt -vv' for details. System: Linux 2.4.5 [using ncurses 5.0] Compile options: -DOMAIN +DEBUG +HOMESPOOL -USE_SETGID +USE_DOTLOCK +DL_STANDALONE +USE_FCNTL -USE_FLOCK ... to pay attention to USE_DOTLOCK (is it set or not?) and DL_STANDALONE (if you are using dotlocking, does mutt expect to do it itself or call on an external dotlock binary?). Then ls your mutt and, perhaps, mutt_dotlock and make sure that they have the proper permissions. If your original mutt was installed by the sysadmin and you're now using your own new copy, you'll have to get the sysadmin to set the permissions; a normal user can't change the group to mail so that mutt or dotlock can lock the mailbox. If this is the case, many sysadmins would be very happy if you chose +USE_DOTLOCK and +DL_STANDALONE because that requires only a small, simple program to have special permissions, and your sysadmin can probably read and security-test that before enabling it. Of course, if your sysadmin installed mutt before, she or he might just give you a full-boat installation without asking any questions :-) % % Could someone point me to the relevant documentation ?

Mutt can do this with a little help =)
Here is a perl script that will do what you want:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# randsig.pl, by Don Blaheta. Released into public domain, blah, blah, blah.
# Generates a signature randomly from a single file of witty quotes which
# the user maintains; the quotes can be multi-line, and are separated by
# blank lines.
# Modifications by Glenn Maynard:
# Put your own signature in a file (typically ~/.sig), and your quotes in
# another file (ie ~/.randsig). Put "%QUOTE%" in your signature file where
# you want a quote replaced. To simply output your sig with no quote
# (%QUOTE removed), don't specify a quotefile.
# Cleaned up by me =)
# Place something like the following in your .muttrc to use this script.
# set signature="~/bin/randsig3.pl .sig ~/.mutt/quotes|"
$home = $ENV{"HOME"};
if ($#ARGV lt 0 or $#ARGV gt 1) {
print "Usage: $^X sigfile [quotefile]\n";
exit 1;
}
# determine the quote
if ($#ARGV eq 1) {
open (FI, "$ARGV[1]") or die "Can't open $ARGV[1]";
# count the quotes
$sig[0] = 0;
while () { $sig[$#sig + 1] = tell if /^$/; }
# read one
srand;
seek(FI, $sig[int rand ($#sig + .)], SEEK_SET) or die "Can't seek";
while () {
last if /^$/;
chomp ($_);
$msg .= "\n";
$msg .= $_;
}
}
open (SIG, "$ARGV[0]") or die "Can't open $ARGV[0]";
while () {
$_ =~ s/%QUOTE%/$msg/;
print "$_";

Unfortunately, the procmailex man page doesn't mention that procmail may fail for reasons other than "... their own scripting capabilities". If you change duplicates to /dev/null in the recipe above and procmail dies right after this recipe, for whatever reasons, you face irrevocable mail loss.

IIRC, ^To works, but ^TO expands to a more complex regexp including CC and To. Quoth the manual: If the regular expression contains `^TO_' it will be sub- stituted by `(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X- Envelope|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)', which should catch all destination specifications containing a specific address. My pet peeve is messages that have no To or Cc, but are sent with only a Bcc, or a false To. To filter this you have to let the catchall rule do it.

searching with collapsed threads
Hi, all -- I usually collapse all of my threads to make things easier to manage and to make it easy to see when a thread has a new message, but that means that I cannot search well -- or at least I think it does. I was just looking for a particular address and searched three or four times with different variations to try to find it, to no avail. Then I remembered making a big red spot on my forehead :-) about this before and uncollapsed everything and, of course, went immediately to it. Is there a way to search every message in a collapsed mailbox and get any results?

Re: does %F index_format option in verson 1.0.1i not work right?
Thanks for your help.
I tried ":set ?alternates" on all the machines that have mutt installed
and with one exception I got 'alternates=""' on all machines. The one
exception simply cleared the command line and printed nothing. to clear
up any ambiguity I edited all the config files and explicitly set
alternates="". The behavior has not changed in any of the
installations.
My excellent systems administrator upgraded the troubled mutt to version
Mutt 1.2.5i (2000-07-28) at my request but that also has not changed the
behavior.
Could it be something else on my system?
--
ah! darn. I diff'd my config files on two different systems and found
that on the affected system I had the "set hostname" line commented out.
When I uncommented that and set it to watchguard.com (the second half of
my email) it started to work fine. pebcak!
Thanks again for your help.

It is recognized by Mutt anyway as Mutt currently does not test for garbage after the year, but I would not count on that bug not being fixed. > Does doing that work?

The time stamp in From_ line is used as the receive time. It can be displayed in the index and used for sorting and searching etc. If you make all receice times the same, these thing will not be useful.
