Scroll-off option for mutt
Hi, Is there a scroll-off option for mutt? In vim, you can use set scrolloff = 7 to make the editor scroll rather than changing pages when you get to the end of the current page, so that you can see things continuously. But for mutt's pager, it seems not possible to do so. Anyone know any alternative methods? Thanks, Yubin
remove empty reply-to header
Hello list, In the compose window I have an empty "Reply-To:" Header. Is this a mandatory Header Field? How can I remove these Header entry? or should I fill it out with my mail address from the "From" field? A mail partner is complaining about it and saied "Your reply-to is set odd" "Do not set the reply-to field, it break things" Best regards, Oliver

If you were to bind the latter to a pair of keys, then you'd almost half have scrolling in the pager. On the other hand, if one were to set $pager to use vim rather than the built-in pager, then scrolloff would be gained ... but the ability to delete the message within the pager would be lost - you'd have to exit first. Naturally, vim would be invoked read-only, e.g. as "view", for a modicum of clumsiness protection. The pager can be set in hooks, e.g. so the external pager is only used for some folders or senders.

It's generation of text with a particular rendering on the receiving end. But since you brought it up, I believe RTF is a dead standard, and IIRC only a handful of mail clients support it. If so it's not a generalized solution... And even Mutt's support for it does not include *generating* it... that requires you to create the document in your editor and tell Mutt (explicitly or by file extension) that the file is rich text, when you attach it to your message. > I can see that a sufficiently motivated developer could add, say, a > markdown parser there just as easily (or if markdown is too vague, > something as safely-defined as text/enriched). Aside from being beside the point, don't put that in Mutt--that's what MIME is for. > To me, the larger hurdle is writing messages in a markup language. It's not a hurdle--it just isn't Mutt's job. Lots of things can format markup, including your editor, which is where your e-mail messages generally are composed... > Is there any method in mutt to cope with the fact that $EDITOR has > just passed it something other than text/plain (that is, some method > OTHER than ^T on the compose screen)? Yes, it's called MIME. Save your document with an appropriate file name and extension, and attach it to your message. That's how this is SUPPOSED to work... and it does. For what it's worth, I sympathize with the ask here. I've long wanted to be able to do very basic formatting in e-mail messages--mostly just bold and italics, with perhaps the occasional alignment. But long ago the industry decided to use HTML for this, and it's now ubiquitous, so you should probably just do that. But if you want to do that with Mutt, you still need to compose the HTML yourself, save it, and attach it to your message. Or, you could put the HTML right in your message body, and then change the type from the attachment view. I did actually just test that, and it does work... Although it made me realize that I've all but forgotten HTML. =8^) -- Derek D. Martinhttp://www.pizzashack.org/ GPG Key ID: 0xDFBEAD02 -=-=-=-=- This message is posted from an invalid address.

Hmm...I mean the index (where all the emails are listed), not pager. I can make the pager scroll. But I cannot make the index do so. Sorry for the misuse of terminology. --- Yubin

As Erik mentioned, there is $menu_scroll, but may want to also try setting $menu_context=7. With both of them set, I hope that may be close to what you are looking for. -- Kevin J.
