Meeting Invite
Does anyone have a way to make and receive meeting invites? Make lets you send an email that setups a calendar event on a Blackberry or some such device. Receive could give you the option accept/deny and add the event to your calendar. Thanks. -- respectfully, Joseph signature.asc Description: Digital signature

muttrc push sequence not always executed
I have the following in my muttrc, as the last line: push "~s abrechnungN" (I'm sending myself backups of a spreadsheet and want to immediately archive these to a different mail folder, unsetting the "new" flag). Basically, this line doesn't always get executed, meaning that new mail matching the pattern "~s abrechnung" stays in my spoolfile, marked as new. When I say "doesn't always get executed", I mean that when I test this repeatedly in a row, restarting mutt when there is mail matching the pattern in my spoolfile, the desired effect (mail matching pattern saved to other mailbox) occurs roughly 10-25 percent of the time. This estimate is for my normal way to start mutt, which is from a shell script with the line: xfce4-terminal --geometry=100x63+5+5 -T mutt -e mutt When I test it calling "mutt" directly from a running terminal, the success rate is almost 100 percent, but I think there have been cases where it didn't work there, either (but can't replicate this at the moment). Is there any thing I can do to make the push function work more often, ideally 100 percent, when I start mutt from a shell script with a line like the one above? m.

As a wild guess you might want to experiment with your $resolve setting; I think Mutt tries to jump to the next message before clearing the flag. So perhaps temporarily unsetting $resolve might help. c -- \black\trash movie_C O W B O Y_ _C A N O E_ _C O M A_ Ein deutscher Western/A German Western -->> http://www.blacktrash.org/underdogma/ccc.html -->> http://www.blacktrash.org/underdogma/ccc-en.html

My impression is that the success rate is quite a bit higher now, but still not 100 percent. Maybe 50 percent or slightly more (but this is just my impression). Note that it either works completely, clearing the "new" flag (if any) _and_ saving the message _and_ syncing the mailbox, or not at all. Any more ideas very welcome! :) m.

Re: addresses in attributions
> Have you got a "%D" in your set attribution="On ... wrote:"? > On some lists you can get flamed for including the email address in the Flame away, if it helps. :) I've been around a long time, and I think including the address provides more good than harm (if it makes sense to attribute at all). I don't really think that hiding people's e-mail addresses on web pages is that much use anymore, but in any case that's a job for the people putting e-mail on the web, not for me. It's easy for them to do HTML entity encoding, which is still 100% effective as far as I can see, without even chopping off domain-parts or converting to bitmaps or replacing @ with (at) or whatever the flavor of the week is. That said, usually I delete the attribution altogether if I don't think it provides any value. I've come to believe that often it doesn't. It's cluttery, and if it doesn't really matter who I'm responding to, why include it? I just forgot on the last one. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

winmail.dat procmail and mutt
Hello All, From time to time I receive emails with winmail.dat as an attachment. A while ago I found a procmail recipe that sent the sender a message saying that they need to reconfigure Outlook to stop sending it and it also extracted the files from winmail.dat and put them in the message. Unfortunately I can not find it! I am interested in how other people deal with this problem so I can automate mutt or procmail to display/extract the message and possibly inform the sender of their misconfigured email system. If you have any solutions or tips I would be very grateful. Regards, Chris -- ---( "The warning shot goes right between the fifth )--- Chris -( Beatle!" )--- Willard Htag.pl 0.0.23 -- This message was scanned by ESVA and is believed to be clean.

I don't get them often enough to bother pestering people to reconfigure their email programs (but the webpage you're looking for is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053). As for a way of decoding them, what you need is tnef (http://www.sf.net/projects/tnef) to decode those tnef files. Then add this to your mailcap file: application/ms-tnef; tnef -w %s Unfortunately, that'll just allow you to extract files, you then have to go view them yourself. I don't know of a better way, since the real name of the file is hidden within the winmail.dat file. ~Kyle - -- Last comes the beverage of the Orient shore, Mocha, far off, the fragrant berries bore.
