Re: Two-phase authentification?

Mutt wiki being http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttWiki?

Also, does anyone have a sense of how secure/insecure aes-256 is?  My
limited understanding is it is pretty secure, but I am not a security
guy or anything.

Nice! If you have time to add this somewhere in the Mutt wiki, it looks
like a good approach.

mutt and archivemail

2015-02-19 Thread Philippe Delavalade
Hi.

I use archivemail which produces, for instance, inbox_archive.gz.

When issuing the command

mutt -f inbox_archive.gz

I have an error message because it is not a mailbox.

Previously, before my migration from debian to slackware, this worked
fine ; I can't find what to configure so that it works. Maybe it's not a
mutt problem but...

Thanks for any help.

Debians mutt includes several patches. For this feature you need the 
compressed-folder patch 

https://sources.debian.net/src/mutt/1.5.23-3/debian/patches/features/compressed-folders.patch/
http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/compressed/

Hi,


Debian uses a patch

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mutt/mutt_1.5.21-6.2+deb7u3.diff.gz
that includes non-official support for compressed folders (starting at line 
"debian/patches/features/compressed-folders" in referenced diff above).


Slackware does not include that patch, so no support for compressed folders.
You would need to include the patch and compile yourself in Slackware.

Many thanks for the answers from JaviMicro and Christian.

I won't recompile mutt with the patches ; I fear it will be a problem for
the distribution ; I don't know it enough :-( Maybe I'll propose it on the
slackware mailing list for the next release.

The easiest way for me seems to uncompress the archive when necessary.
