Using send and reply hooks to set from address and reverse_name

2013-05-02 Thread Suvayu Ali 
Hi Mutt users,

I have been having some problems setting my from address when I'm
responding to my emails in a thread.  I have $reverse_name set to yes
and have posted about this before[1].  Since then I have realised my
problem arises from conflicting hooks and I can't think of a way to
resolve the issue.

I send emails from multiple addresses: personal, mailing lists, work1,
and work2.  So I have a series of send hooks like these:

  send-hook "%C work1" my_hdr From: m...@work1.com
  send-hook "%C work2" my_hdr From: m...@work2.com
  send-hook "%C lists" my_hdr From: li...@gmail.com

Note that I do not have any default send-hook set.  I also have the
following reply-hooks so that I can automatically reply with the correct
from address based on which account the email was delivered to.

  reply-hook . my_hdr From: perso...@gmail.com
  reply-hook '~h "Delivered-To: +list@gmail\.com"' my_hdr From: "l...@gmail.com"
  reply-hook '~h "Delivered-To: +me@work1\.com"' my_hdr From: m...@work1.com
  reply-hook '~h "Delivered-To: +me@work2\.com"' my_hdr From: m...@work2.com

Now my problem is the default reply-hook above overrides the from
address set by reverse_name=yes.  If I comment it out, then the from
address is what was set by the last "my_hdr From: ..." command in the
above hooks.  I want it to be my personal address.

Any ideas how to resolve this conflict between hooks and reverse_name?

Thanks in advance for any hints/pointers.

Cheers,

Hi ,
I'm new to mutt , so daft questions
Application
Headless computer running motion , msmtp
At the moment I'm using mailx to send mail to me to notify me of movement 
detection,
I've tried to send a copy of the MPEG4 .avi as an attachment , and it justs 
sends 7676 bytes
everytime.
So , Mutt.
It will never receive , only send smtp so the muttrc file can be simplified, 
this is where I need
help, as all the example scripts are for normal use. I have symlinks in already 
from  sbin/sendmail
to sbin/msmtp
my mailrc file just has one line 
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"

What do I need to put in the muttrc file to do the same, allowing for 
attachments to be mpeg4  ~?
The current mail command in the motion.conf file is:-

on_movie_start echo ["Camera detection" %d/%m/%Y  %H:%M:%S--%v] |mailx -s 
"Movement Detected
%d/%m/%Y  %H:%M:%S" -a  /Files/motion-pics/%d-%m-%Y_%H:%M-%v.avi 
rich...@g8jvm.info

That all on one line, 

Many thanks

Reading "man muttrc" reply-hook discussion might help you.  It explains
the usage:
   reply-hook [!]pattern command
   When replying to a message matching pattern, command is executed. 
   When multiple reply-hooks match, they are executed in the order in
   which they occur in the configuration file, but all reply-hooks are
   matched and executed before send-hooks, regardless of their order
   in the configuration file.

Note that *all* matching reply hooks are "matched and executed before
send-hooks, reguardless ...", and you can have *only* one From: address. 
I would guess that in your case the From: address selection is somewhat
arbitrary from the conditions you set and settless to your default. 
   

I would suggest using "send-hook", and set a default, to accomplish your
desires.  Further reading of the mutt and muttrc man pages will help.

have you considered setting "sendmail" in the muttrc?

You shouldn't need to put anything specific in your .muttrc file. Simply
changing the mailx command in motion.conf to a mutt command should be
sufficient.

Cheers,

Removing "copiousoutput" avoids opening all messages in the browser, but
then I see NO message there.
The behaviour I need and have with 1.4.2.3 is at follows:

with mutt -f mbox

I get a view into mbox, one line per mail.
If I select one of these lines, the message is displayed.
If this message contains HTML, it is displayed in plain ascii
(via "text/html; firefox_elinks %s; needsterminal; copiousoutput; ")

where firefox_elinks contains:

  elinks -dump -default-mime-type text/html $1
  firefox $1 
  exit 0

AND it is displayed in the browser window (due to the 2nd line of the script).

How can I get the same behaviour with 1.5.21?

Kind regards,

 ulrich
