Using elinks to view html
I have set up 2 binds: macro index w |elinks\n macro pager w |elinks\n But when I use them elinks opens with a window asking what to do: open save display etc If I hit display I get the source code. I previously used w3m for this and it worked ok, but I prefer to use elinks for a browser and no longer have w3m installed. Any ideas on how to get this working? -- It's no surprise that things are so screwed up: everyone that knows how to run a government is either driving taxicabs or cutting hair. -- George Burns

IMAP Folder Browser
Hello all, I have just switched my setup from using mboxes to IMAP. I have created a hierarchy of directories and sub-directories and I can indeed browse through these using Mutt. I have looked at the Mutt manual, and man muttrc, but I cannot see however any way to customise the view when in the folder browser. All it shows me is a folder number, the word IMAP (which seems superfluous), a big gap and the folder or directory name. There is no indication of the number of new messages (or indeed if there are new messages at all) or any other useful information. Setting folder_format seems to have no discernible effect. Mutt is s customisable, surely there is a way to do so with IMAP folders? - or have I just missed something screamingly obvious (distinct possibility). Thanks for any suggestions...

viewing html emails with images
Hi, I often receive emails of type text/html. I've experimented displaying them with links and firefox (with appropriate setting in my .mailcap). Firefox seems to display the email text but not the images. Instead of the images, I see grayish box which indicates the image wasn't available. Is there a script to save the html content of the email along with the attachments (images for eg) and display them properly using firefox? Thanks, sen

You were right the first time, it's $folder_format. Unfortunately, many of the printf sequences there don't mean anything when applied to IMAP, so mutt just ignores them. %C -> still works %d -> ignored (hard to calculate quickly with IMAP) %f -> still works %F -> becomes the string "IMAP " or "IMAP +" %g -> ignored (does not apply without a filesystem) %l -> ignored (does not apply without a filesystem) %N -> finicky (I think it only works with cyrus IMAP) %s -> ignored (hard to calculate quickly with IMAP) %t -> still works %u -> ignored (does not apply without a filesystem) > There is no indication of the number of new messages (or indeed if > there are new messages at all) or any other useful information. There's no way to indicate the *number* of new messages even when you're not using IMAP, unfortunately. But %N should work in some cases. I forget why this is so finicky, but it has something to do with exactly how you calculate this about a folder in IMAP. Ask Brendan Cully for details. As for "other useful information", what are you after? ~Kyle - -- If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yeah, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. -- Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ (Luke 14:26) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iD8DBQFHpnycBkIOoMqOI14RApz3AJ9ccgQkdwaFbETL01Ztbc0zuNGwfACfa7hx sygz8mQCjwUv0QYWamndDu4= =lvJQ -END PGP SIGNATURE-
