send-hook and different email accounts
ciao! i'm using mutt with two different email accounts. generally i use the first one but i need to use the second to send email to the university so i set the following send-hook: unhook send-hook unhook send2-hook send-hook . unmy_hdr From Reply-To send-hook . 'set sendmail="~/bin/msmtpQ -a gmail"; \ set from = "Marco Giusti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"; \ my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' send-hook .*unibo\.it 'set sendmail="~/bin/msmtpQ -a hermes"; \ set from = "Marco Giusti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' with this configuration i got a strange behavior i follow these steps: 1. send emails to a generic addresses. no problem at all 2. send an email to .unibo.it. no problem, all the headers are set correclty 3. send an email to a generic address. now the headers and the variables are set to the previous values ie. unibo.it account why i got this? it's my fault or a mutt's bug? how can i achieve the behaviour needed? thanks for your help marco ps. follow some mutt infos if you need it, anyway is a debian/lenny package Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Copyright (C) 1996-2008 Michael R.

I had problems trying to achieve the same thing with "set from" and
I'm now using
send-hook . 'my_hdr From: My Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
But I didn't know about "unmy_hdr", so "my_hdr" may not be necessary, and
there may be a better way to do it with "set from" ("better" because
for all I remember with my_hdr From, "set reverse_name" doesn't work).

Setting $from should work as of 1.5.18

Right, my_hdr From overrides $reverse_name, which usually isn't
desired. That's why it's nice to set $from instead.
IMHO there is still a tiny problem because it's impossible to
determine in a hook (send-hook or send2-hook) what the final From
value is, based on the combination of $reverse_name and $from.
That's a bit frustrating to me because I'd like to make some
other settings based on that value.

thanks a lot, using my_hdr works great. i will play with unmy_hdr to
determinate if it is necessary. anyway i cannot understand reverse_name
and i don't use it

Well, yes, but I am running mutt 1.5.15, and there I need "my_hdr From" for send-hooks, and that then messes up reverse_name. m.

Ahh, then the way you will want is to do it via the attachment menu (by default, press the 'v' key while a message is selected in the index or being viewed in the pager... think "v is for View"). From there, you can use the command (bound to 's' by default). That should allow you to save the text of a message (or, if the sender has been nice, the patch attachment) to a file in decoded (i.e. un-wrapped, non-raw) form. ~Kyle - -- Whenever you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship. -- Harry Truman, lecturing at Columbia University, April 28, 1959 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iEYEARECAAYFAkjbs6YACgkQBkIOoMqOI17WpwCg6GbC2IQmAtHJXQtIfi5dGq9h 8AUAoP5UgpZiisw4nwoV8c8i90rxms1U =Nlbd -END PGP SIGNATURE-
Re: Save to a file problem (wrapped with =)

You can use v to view the parts of a message and any attachments, then s to save individual attachments (or the message) to a file. This also excludes the message headers. These are using the default keybindings, so if you have changed them, these instructions will be different for you.

Re: where does it search
Bill, Something which is undocumented, as far as I can see, is that when working with an IMAP mail store you can search conduct the search on the server. If you do a /~b it will have to download all the messages to do the search. If you replace '~' with '=' in your search pattern (e.g. /=b foo) it will compile a search function and send it to the server. This should really make it into the manual as it's very important for IMAP users. -Vance On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 12:03:12AM +0800, bill lam wrote: } In index page, / or T can search a pattern or regex, and there are } modifiers like ~h ~b to force searching inside header or body etc. } But what is the context for searching without any such modifiers, does } it search the header or body or just what is visible of the index } screen?

I can't argue with your observations. I can't replicate them with my setup, though. I created a file containing a paragraph of text indented by tabs and mailed it to myself as you did with your patch. I saved the received message using "v" and "s", also as you did. The tabs were still there. I also saved the message to a new mbox folder, "test_folder", using "s" in the index view, and verified that the tabs were still there. Then I quit that mutt and started a new one like this: mutt -F /dev/null -f test_folder I executed all the configuration commands you listed above. Then I saved the message again using "v" and "s". The tabs are still there. I'm using mutt 1.5.17. I'm afraid I can't help. Maybe someone else on the list can replicate this and/or explain what's going on. Regards, Gary

Mutt's IMAP code didn't (until *very* recently) always behave itself when $timeout is smaller than $imap_keepalive (which defaults to 300). So unless you're following the hg devel tree pretty closely, I strongly recommend that you put $timeout back where it was and reduce $imap_keepalive. ~Kyle - -- The past isn't dead and buried.

Re: mutt eats tabs
Never mind, I just checked that the patch sent out contains tabs. So there must be something wrong with the saving process.

Re: Unexpected network error
I dont ahve $imap_keepalive set. So you want me to have this : $timeout=15 $imap_keepalive=10 Ravi On Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 1:47 PM, Kyle Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Thursday, September 25 at 01:35 PM, quoth Ravi Uday: >>Hi Kyle, >> >>Yes am using imap with mutt. $timeout was at 15.

You can make them bigger (e.g. timeout=300, imap_keepalive=60, or even larger). I know the man page makes it sound like timeout really needs to be extra small, but don't sweat it. The default is 600, and you generally don't really need it anywhere near as small as 15. Think about that: that's potentially checking your email every 15 seconds. Depending on the number of mailboxes you have and the latency of your connection, it could easily take longer than that to complete a check for mail! I know mail admins that get grumpy when people check their email even every 5 minutes, due to all the network traffic they generate. When you're checking a file on disk, well, you can check that pretty dang often without a performance effect. But over the network? You may be causing your own problem by having such small timeouts. Generally, I would say: stick with the default values unless you have a reason to change them (the defaults weren't chosen by morons). Chances are, you can probably leave $timeout at 600. Give the defaults a try, and go from there. ~Kyle - -- What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me.

To quote the man page: -a file [...] Attach a file to your message using MIME. To attach multiple files, separating filenames and recipient addresses with "--" is mandatory, e.g. mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2 > 3. I need to send the contents of a file as Message body.

Well, mutt won't move them, but you can do it all by yourself: mutt -s subject -a file1 file2 < body.txt && \ mv file1 file2 folder/ Is there some reason you don't want to do that? A lot of this you can find out by just thumbing through the documentation. ~Kyle - -- Time goes, you say? Ah no!
