Print Japanese UTF-8 mails
I want to print emails from within mutt but when the emails contain Japanese text in UTF-8 encoding I get very bad results and wasted paper. For printing Japanese text I use the command: cat JapaneseDoc.txt | paps | lpr Here the paps converts the japanese text to postscript that lpr can correctly send to the default printer. The question is how to set this command in the print_command of mutt? It seems this command does not support pipes. -- regards, Horacio Sanson
How to display patch/diff files in color?
Does anyone know how to make mutt display patches/diff files in color? I am using pygmentize that in a terminal outputs the diff/patch files with easy to read colors but when used from within mutt the text is displayed correctly but not colored. Here is my configuration: My .mailcap file: text/x-diff;pygmentize -f console %s;copiousoutput text/x-patch;pygmentize -f console %s;copiousoutput My .muttrc file: auto_view text/x-diff auto_view text/x-patch I can see in Mutt that the pygmentize command is being called but the output text is not colored on the console. As second question how do I change the mime type of received emails based on extension? without using procmail? Some times I get patches/diff with mime-type set to plain/text and I want to change them to text/x-patch or text/x-diff based on extension. -- regards, Horacio Sanson

Now all patch/diff files are beautifully displayed in Mutt. Using pygmentize I can potentially colorize all text attachments. > > As second question how do I change the mime type of received emails based on > > extension? without using procmail?

How to display patch/diff files with color inside Mutt?
Does anyone know how to make mutt display patches/diff files in color? I tried using pygmentize that in console colors the diff files correctly but when used from within mutt the text is displayed correctly but not colored. Here is my configuration: My .mailcap file: text/x-diff;pygmentize -f console %s;copiousoutput text/x-patch;pygmentize -f console %s;copiousoutput My .muttrc file: auto_view text/x-diff auto_view text/x-patch I can see in Mutt that the pygmentize command is being called but the output text is not colored on the console. As second question how do I change the mime type of received emails based on extension? without using procmail? because I use Google IMAP. Some times I get patches/diff with plain/text and I want to change them to text/x-patch or text/x-diff based on extension. This of course so my coloring rules above take effect. -- regards, Horacio Sanson
Vim fold key bindings for mutt threads
Is it possible to create Vim fold like keybindings to expand/collapse threads in mutt? Example: zo - expand thread under the cursor zO - expand thread under the cursor and all subthreads recursively zc - close thread under the cursor zC - close thread under the cursor and all subthreads recursively za - toggle thread under the cursor zA - toggle thread under the cursor and all subthreads recursively Being used to vim keybindings using ESC-v is rather uncomfortable for me. -- regards, Horacio Sanson
Mutt 256 color themes
Currently I am using the ivy league color theme from Aaron Toponce (see link below) with a couple of modifications to make it work in my transparent KDE Konsole. http://pthree.org/2008/10/22/ivy-league-theme-for-mutt/ I was looking for similar 256 color themes for mutt but there does not appear to be any on the whole Internet. Are there any other themes around? Or is anyone willing to share their colors? Here I attach the color setting I use. To use it I source it in my .muttrc file like: source /path/to/ivy256 -- regards, Horacio Sanson # 256 color theme from # http://pthree.org/2008/10/22/ivy-league-theme-for-mutt/ # Make sure you set TERM=xterm-256color for these colors to display correctly. # In console you must edit the profile ENV and set the TERM variable there. # The chosen color selection # 34 - green # 111 - blue # 124 - red # 142 - orange # 193 - tan # 233 - black # general-doesn't-fit stuff color normal color193 default color error color193 color124 color markers color142 default color tilde color142 default color status color142 default # index stuff color tree color124 default color indicator color21 color193 color index color193 default ~A color index color34 default ~N color index color34 default ~O color index color124 default ~F color index color160 default ~D color index color210 default ~T # header stuff color hdrdefault color122 default color header color111 default "^Subject" # gpg stuff color body color34 default "^gpg: Good signature.*" color body color193 color124 "^gpg: BAD signature.*" color body color142 default "^gpg: Can't check signature.*" color body color142 default "^-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-" color body color142 default "^-BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-" color body color142 default "^-END PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-" color body color142 default "^-END PGP SIGNATURE-" color body color142 default "^Version: GnuPG.*" color body color142 default "^Comment: .*" #color body color142 default "^[[:alnum:]/\+=]+[[:space:]]+$" # url, email and web stuff color body color111 default "(finger|ftp|http|https|news|telnet)://[^ >]*" color body color111 default "" color body color111 default "www\\.[-.a-z0-9]+\\.[a-z][a-z][a-z]?([-_./~a-z0-9]+)?" color body color111 default "mailto: *[^ ]+\(\\i?subject=[^ ]+\)?" color body color111 default "[-a-z_0-9.%...@[-a-z_0-9.]+\\.[-a-z][-a-z]+" # misc body stuff color attachment color111 default color signature color142 default # quote levels color quoted color34 default color quoted1 color142 default color quoted2 color34 default color quoted3 color142 default color quoted4 color34 default color quoted5 color142 default color quoted6 color34 default color quoted7 color142 default color quoted8 color34 default color quoted9 color142 default
Setting the To: header when replying.
A few weeks ago everytime I replied a message by pressing r on the index or pager views the To: header field was correctly set to the same address in the original message From: header. Now everytime I reply an email the To: header in the reply is set to the To: header of the original message that usually is my address. I played with the reply_to option to no avail.

d put them in the signature variable. - The first account has a pgp signature that I set for all email sent from that account. You can unset pgp_sign_as if you do not have pgp signatures.

Are subscribe and lists commands obsolete?
I have been trying to wrap my head around what suscribe and lists commands are. For me mutt handles mailing lists perfectly without these commands so to make sure I am not missing some (not obvious) benefits allow me to ask the experts. >From the documentation I found the subscribe command allows to: - Use the reply-list function to send replies only to the main mailing list address, not to tha author. - Honor the Mail-Followup-To header if present. - Expand %L to the list address instead of the author's address in the index. but: - In my mutt (1.5.20) the reply-list command works correctly even if I do not have a subscribe command for that mailing list in my muttrc. That is pressing sets To: to the mailing list address and pressing sets To: to the authors address. - The Mail-Followup-To header seems to be considered a bad hack so I disable it using (http://larve.net/people/hugo/2000/07/ml-mutt): set followup_to=no set honor_followup_to=no - I don't use %L in my index_format >From the above I really see no benefit in maintaining a bunch of subscribe commands for each of the hundred's of mailing lists I read. And the lists command is like a NOOP command for me. It is like a subscribe but without any of it's benefits. Just want to know if it is worth to start writing subscribe commands for all my mailing list addresses or not. -- regards, Horacio Sanson

I think I tried it, but I'm not quite certain. The folder and spoolfile you set would be your defaults that get open when you start mutt. You only need to set these for one of your accounts. A few days back I posted in this mailing list my configuration to handle multiple Gmail accounts. Search the archives for a subject like "Simple Mutt with Eee PC 701".

Bounce message from a different from address.
I send a long email to a mailing list but after sending it I realized I send the email using the wrong from: address. Of course the message got bounced back because that address is not registered in the mailing list. Now this should be easy to do but I have not found a simple way to resend the message with a different from: address. The message is stored in my Sent folder but using the bounce function on it asks me to input a new destination (to:) address but what I want is to change the from: address and resend the message intact as it is. How to achieve this feat? -- regards, Horacio Sanson
