Re: Anyone using Mutt on a Mac?

2012-05-12 Thread Ravi Pina 
I use mutt + offlneimap + aspell + gpg + ldap flawlessly.  Most of 
the dot files I have on my FreeBSD box ported right over wholesale.
Since I use mutt tin this context for work mail I save all my dot
files to Dropbox and symlink .mutt it, my .muttrc to
.mutt/muttrc, and have my passwords in a local file that gets
included from the .muttrc.

The only issues I have involve with mailcap/mimetype with some
files and searching speeds.  I use a cache, but it only appears
to do headers and not message bodies which I often time need to
search through.  That and I haven't figured out how to save
custom words to a aspell dictionary.  I also haven't spent much
time on it either after it wasn't immediately obvious how to do
it.

Compose new message to To: of selected message

2011-06-16 Thread Ravi Pina 
The subject generally says it.  I was trying to find a macro or
shortcut that would allow me to compose a new message to the
addresses in the To: line of the currently selected message.

Bouncing doesn't do this, obviously.  Using the message as a
template isn't it.  Replying adds all the message attributes of a
replied message (references, subject, etc), yet this is the
closest thing.

Anyone have any tips for accomplishing this?

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you're looking for.  Terminal.app and iTerm.app
are just a means for running your preferred shell that you would
otherwise use to launch Mutt.

If you're familiar with bash, tcsh, etc then it should be a
lateral move.
