Hope the patch for X-label editing can be merged into mutt soon

2002-01-01 Thread Charles Jie
Hi,thank you all, That's exactly the function I want. But because it's a sourcer-level patch that I need to patch-compile-install. I'm afraid that might cause trouble with my current installation from rpm package by Mandrake 8.1. I'll wait some while for that rpm comes. Thank you. best regards

Where to put 'procmail'?

? Q3. How do I know whether I need to give the '-Y' option? Q4. I don't have the ENV variable $DOMAIN in shell, the '-a $DOMAIN' is OK? best regards, charlie On Mon, Dec 31, 2001 at 05:47:24PM +0100, Ren? Clerc wrote: > * Will Yardley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [31-12

Thanks and a further question

Thank you very much, David. I like Mutt's configurability and think it's the best MUA of programmers, isn't it? I don't think the missing of mail is Mutt's fault, either. What I suspect is procmail, which I found hard to understand it in short term. I place my question in mutt-users@ (sorry :-)

Please help verify my procmail settings to go with mutt

Possible to add a user-defined field "Keyword" to read message before/when save?

2001-12-28 Thread Charles Jie
Obviously I don't mean 'e' (edit) command count. The purpose of it is that I want to give keywords or category to read messages so that I can search them easier later. If I can add this field easily when I save it or before I press 's' with ease, I don't bother to save messages into that many f

I'm glad to read good tricks about mutt. The document (manual.txt) is too short of examples that we have to pull out handfuls of hairs to get a function work. :) charlie -- On Thu, Dec 27, 2001 at 02:39:48AM -0700, Rob 'Feztaa' Park wrote: > On Thu, Dec 27, 2001 at 01:36:51PM

Re: Moving between folders

You should not keep that many messages in a working 'folder' (indeed file). You'd better initialize a new one for high traffic folder yearly, quarterly or even monthly. For sent folder, I'll rename the file to sent.2001 soon in the end of this year. best regards, charlie -- On Thu, Dec 27, 200

Quoted-printable string not decoded

I found mutt can not decode qp strings in Subject if there is space in it. Such like =?big5?Q?Re: =BCW=A5[=B1z=AA=BA=A6=AC=A4J?= If I change ' ' to '=20', it works. Does the spec. of qp not allow spaces? thanks, charlie

Mutt can not cooperate with mozilla

2001-12-25 Thread Charles Jie
In my .mailcap: text/html; mozilla -remote openurl\(file:%s\) always fails because %s is expanded as '' The quotes are the problem because they mix up in the URL. Could we work around it? (avoid having the 's) thanks, charlie
