Thanks Christian.
I checked again that there is no
~/.mime.types
/usr/local/share/mutt/mime.types
/usr/share/mutt/mime.types
There are
/etc/mime.types which contains
application/vnd.ms-excelxls xlb xlt
/usr/etc/mime.types ??? which contains
application/excel xls
Apparently mutt get mime type from /usr/etc/mime.types any idea why
there is such a file and why mutt read from it, instead of
/etc/mime.types as mentioned inside mutt documentation?
I use ubuntu if that matters.

decrypt pgp mail sent from thunderbird
I received an email sent using thunderbird that did not use attachment. The body is just text like the following: -BEGIN PGP MESSAGE- Charset: ISO-8859-1 Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org ... ... -END PGP MESSAGE- I managed to save the body to a file and decrypt using gpg.

Since only headers are downloaded, new message take time to download when actually first read the message. Afterwards that message will be inside body cache. When mailbox is closed by network disconnection then it needs initialisation again. Apart from that, there is no difference from a local mailbox retrieved from pop3. I guess this should be the normal scenario. -- regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 唐詩017 王維 西施詠 艷色天下重 西施寧久微 朝為越溪女 暮作吳宮妃 賤日豈殊眾 貴來方悟稀 邀人傅脂粉 不自著羅衣 君寵益嬌態 君憐無是非 當時浣紗伴 莫得同車歸 持謝鄰家子 效顰安可希

imap closed after leaving index screen for awhile
I use imap server for gmail. When a read an email in the pager or composing a long new message and if that takes more than several minute, the connection to imap server become disconnected. It seems the connection to imap can only be maintained alive in the index page. Is there any workaround? Another issue not sure related to imap or not. Suppose I mark read or delete some messages in the index and press $ to update. It seems updated, but if the connection to imap became broken before closing down mutt. The next time opening the mailbox index it still shows those messages as new or not deleted. How to tell mutt to really flush changes when press $. I use header and body cache if it matters. -- regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3
