Ideas for saving mailing list mail with IMAP+Maildir
I used to use mbox format and save mailing list mail to eg: ~/mail/lists/mutt-users@mutt.org which made it very easy to make a script that creates the mailboxes, alias and subscribe commands. I'd simply save the first email to a folder in lists/ then run the script and everything was set up and saved into ~/.mutt/lists which was sourced whenever mutt started. Now that I've switched to IMAP + Maildir I'm using the following: ~/mail/.lists.mutt-users@mutt_org/ Note how I've had to change the '.' in the domain name to an underscore so that it doesn't get seen as a subfolder. To create the subscribe commands I then need to do a 's/_/.//g' on the folder name to recreate the email address. This works fine so long as the mailing list address doesn't in reality contain an underscore. So I'm just wondering how people here cope with organising mailing lists with Maildir and any tips/tricks that may be a better way than my present way.

David, if you look at the Dovecot Doc site [1] you can set it up
differently to better accomodate your needs.
>From /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
...
namespace {
type = public
separator = /
prefix = Public/
location = maildir:/var/vmail/public:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=~/public
list = yes
subscriptions = no
}
In particular the line that has LAYOUT=fs - it will then layout your
mailboxes in the normal filesystem manner. You should then be able to
use your earlier methods in your scripts

Thanks Andre and James
I had previously read how to setup dovecot with a '/' separator but I
kept getting namespace errors when connecting. After some testing of
various settings this is what worked for me:
mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs
namespace {
separator = /
prefix =
hidden = no
inbox = yes
list = yes
}
Then I reverted to my old layout of a 'lists' dir and changed my
procmail settins etc.

One like yours generates the main file with alias and subscribe lines and also recreates a .procmailrc-lists for routing. I have that bound to 'A' in Mutt. The other two scripts are mentioned elsewhere in this ML. One scans all my directories looking for new mail, and then generates a maliboxes command so I can see only those folders with new mail. The last script just lists all my folders and generates a mailboxes command so I can get a full view. I bind these to and in Mutt. It's really nice that Mutt supports scripting like this. David

Might I suggest just commenting out your pager_format statement? I've
.muttrc's that go back to 2003. In each one of them pager_format is
not set. I appear to see what the manual section you quote says.

PGP messages are "special" -- Mutt has built-in support for handling them explicitly, so you don't normally see them as attachments. And as the passage you quoted states, text/* attachments are displayed in-line generally. There are a few options that affect exactly what Mutt does for these types (these are from my muttrc): auto_view text/html alternative_order text/plain text text/enriched text/html set pgp_verify_sig=yes set pgp_auto_decode=yes If you want to see *all* of the attachments as attachments, use the view-attachments function, generally bound to 'v' by default. -- Derek D.

I appear to see what the manual section you quote says. Same result. I find nothing in the manual about pager format. What I was using I "borrowed" from another muttrc.

That pretty much describes everything I use. I can't keep up with the
developers' feaping-creaturism, so I read mailing lists for hints, and
hit the manual to find out how to use neat stuff I come across. I
wish I had an answer for you.

"%-60s" makes it take at least 60 characers (left justified). "%60.60s" makes it take exactly 60 characters (right justified or truncated). "%-60.60s" makes it take exactly 60 characters (left justified or truncated). so try "%60.60s".
