Hello Cary, > 1. Mail whose content is html - I can do this by specify -e "my_hdr > Content-Type: text/html", and formatting the message as a pure html > file, e.g. no extra headers. I’m not entirely sure but I feel that it’s not too ideal to set the Content-Type via a my_hdr setting. Maybe you can set a custom header like “x-change-to-html”, and apply a hook running an macro if this header is present? Sounds more native to me. Regards, P.M.

You could do that with changing the editor then „editing“ then changing the editor back to vim. I do something similar with labeling a received email: macro pager,index y "set editor=\"~/bin/editlabel append\"Nset editor=vim" "Append label" (change editor, edit existing email on disk, sync-mailbox, set mail as new, change editor back to vim) I guess you could what you want with vim/ex/sed/awk or else. Also keep in mind that procmail may be able to automate this process entirely. Best Regards, PM

Re: How to intercept recipient before reply, and before sending?
Hi Jean,
we missed each other in IRC, so here’s my reply.
Jean Louis schrieb am 24.06.2021 15:36:10:

I think you could always create a {python,bash,ruby} script or c-program
and let it “mimic” an editor when you reply:
:macro index r "set
editor=\"edit-id-then-reply.py\"set
editor=\"vim\""
Once you hit your reply button »r« the editor is changed, started and
set back again. It could also start your favourite text editor.
e.g. you could use this as »edit-id-then-reply.py«:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import subprocess
with open(sys.argv[1], 'a') as email_file:
email_file.write('Hello, I am your ID\n');
subprocess.run(['vim', sys.argv[1]]);
This would open the filename of the reply-email, then read it and change
some of its content (e.g. insert user id), then start your text editor so
you can type your reply.

> macro for the `y' key binding?
Similar to the above, you could create a sendmail-compatible wrapper,
that does the interception and later actually runs sendmail or msmtp or
else.

True, you could maybe even put it into the postponed location and then try to send that message. I guess that could work as one nice macro, too. If the above does not work, let’s elaborate on this idea later. Anyhow I guess, edit_headers="yes" opens up some new capabilities; maybe even doing everything inside emacs without the “hack” above. > This is all good as brainstorming. Nice, any chance that this system will be talked about in a blog or something like that? This CRM of yours sounds like an interesting read. > Also good idea. That is what I have to do. Great!

As a first step I recommend using a folder-hook to source a config file that changes your smtp-settings like so: folder-hook '+PMazart' 'source ~/.mutt/incl-ident-pmazartwebde' Within this config file may be: set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmpt -a yourconfig" set realname=Ranjan and so on. If you need to change your account manually you could do something like: macro compose,index,pager "\ca1" ':source ~/.mutt/incl-ident-pmazartWHATEVER' 'use pmaz...@whateverdoesnotexist.cn' macro compose,index,pager "\ca2" ':source ~/.mutt/incl-ident-pmazartwebde' 'use pmaz...@web.de' With this you can use CTRL+A then 1 or 2 to change your smtp-configs. You can additionally consider changing compose_format, status_format and pager_format to mention the currently used email address within those include files. Best Regards, Peter

If you use vim you could use imap in ~/.vim/ftplugin/mail.vim:
imap .urg Priority: urgent
Typing .urg would then fill write the header at this point. (given that
you have “set edit_headers=yes”
> Preferrably picking from a list rather than remembering the exact

You could refine the attached script I use to set X-Label which uses
formail and bash to create such a “user interface”.
It can be used by binding a key like this:
macro compose P "set
editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel\"set editor=vim"
"Change label"
This sets the editor to your “Priority” script and then resets it back
to your favourite editor.

OpenPGP and Subject encryption
Hi, are there any implementations or thoughts on subject encryption for PGP/MIME, yet? I wonder if there might be a special trigger word inside the encypted body part to reset or redisplay the message’s subject (e.g. X-Msg-Subject:), so one could choose a random Subject: Header . Thanks P.M.

Avoiding inference about the email’s content… That’s why we use pgp, don’t we‽ > Why would you send an encrypted post (?Subject) to > anyone but the intended recipient? I guess we got each other wrong here, I was indeed talking about encrypting AND sending to the keyholder. None the less I stick to the policy of choosing a proper, content describing, subject which in return does reveal information about the content while traveling over the net. So a dummy subject which might be overridden after the first decryption might fit the purpose of “hiding” information about the mail… I wonder if there’s some ideas on that yet. Thank you. P.M.

Actually we might not have an idea, what “clear text” mode is… Do you mean inline PGP‽ If so there’s a hook for inline pgp at http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Encryption Bye P.M.
