Adding local files as attachments
Hi, I am using mutt to connect to an imap server. When I try to add an attachment mutt wants to search the imap server. I can't seem to find any way to make mutt search locally for files to attach. Can someone enlighten me? I've done some searching on the interweb and I haven't been able to find an answer to this question. I have seen the same question asked on comp.mail.mutt but no answers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- -Dustin

I had the same problem and I do think it's almost a bug. -- Chris Green

Non-permanence of the "new messages" flag (maildir)
Hello, I've looked around and found FAQ answers on new messages not being reported correctly, where Maildir folders are mentioned as a solution. In my case, the new messages flag when using maildir is the problem. Environment: ``mutt-devel'' built from the FreeBSD ports (Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17)). muttrc options: alias_file folder_format mbox_type use_from ascii_chars frompager_stop !mark_old charset hostnamerealname envelope_from implicit_autoview record folder index_formatsort (mbox_type is "maildir", folder is $HOME/Maildir/) mailboxes are set properly (see below). In the index I do see the new messages flag, but only the first time I see the folder in the mailboxes index. Example: I receive a message that gets put in '.INBOX.gmail.INBOX' (through gmail, offlineimap. The subfolder syntax is due to Dovecot serving the maildir folders through IMAP. No mail client is using the IMAP server as I run these tests.) I start mutt and go to the index. I see the `N' flag next to the '.INBOX.gmail.INBOX' folder. I go in that folder, a message is marked as new. I don't read the message, and go to the index. Now there is no `N' flag next to the `.INBOX.gmail.INBOX'. I go in that folder, and the _message_ is still marked as new. I said the mailboxes are set properly, here is the reason for that claim: If I press tab in the index I do see the expected mailboxes. If you need additional information, I will be happy to provide it, or run whatever tests you want. If this is documented somewhere and I didn't find it, I apologize and will gladly accept a pointer in the right direction. Thanks, --Vincent

The string you want is the one listed for shift-home/shift-end/etc. Apple just switched shift-home and home (and the same with the others). ~Kyle - -- He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

After hit "a", it displays something like "? for list". Do not hit "?". Press TAB and it will display a file browser to your file system. Also you can press "t" to tag several files in the file browser.
