Is there such an alias?

2001-06-12 Thread Dirk Laurie
I wish to send an e-mail to Bill Gates but can't remember under what alias I've got him -- bg? billg? bgates? I know I can less my alias file from another window -- but is there a way to locate an alieas easily from mutt? Dirk

How to filter retrieved mail

2001-04-25 Thread Dirk Laurie
When retrieving mail from a POP server, it gets dumped straight into my inbox, without passing through my .procmailrc. I can think of several solutions to this problem: 1. Instead of just invoking mutt, use a shell script that first calls fetchmail. Disadvantage: I need to quit and restar

Setting variables while mutt is up

2001-03-14 Thread Dirk Laurie
Is there any way to set variables while mutt is running? Setting them in .muttrc is fine most of the time, but sometimes I just want to override that setting for a while without restarting mutt. Dirk

Loading standard input as mailbox

2001-03-14 Thread Dirk Laurie
I can't pipe a startup mailbox to mutt, because cat mailbox | mutt is treated as an instruction to mail what is piped in. Some Unix commands use the filename "-" as an alias for standard input, but cat mailbox | mutt -f - does not work. Of course, this trivial example can be handled by mut

2001-03-12 Thread Dirk Laurie
Some mailing lists etc. are distributed in digest form, i.e. they have some header/index stuff etc., after which the body consists of concatenated e-mails maybe with some standard separator. Can mutt un-digest them, i.e. can I view them as if separate mails in a folder? Dirk

Replying to "From:" address

2001-03-01 Thread Dirk Laurie
Very properly, mutt replies to the "Reply-To" address if one is set. I belong to some mailing lists where "Reply-To" is set to the list. This is OK if I wish to send to the sender and the list ("g") or to the list only ("r") but not if I wish to reply to the sender only. E.g. "Listen old chap, I d

Word-wrap when printing and quoting

2001-02-27 Thread Dirk Laurie
Some of my correspondents use a mail composition system that does not break long lines into screen-width lines. I dare not complain for they will then send me HTML or Word versions. The mutt viewer handles the long lines nicely, breaking at word boundaries and putting in cyan plus signs to show

Automatic filing

2001-02-15 Thread Dirk Laurie
I'd like mutt to do the following for me: 1. In my "<" folder, display not the sender (which is always me) but the recipient. 2. When I have read something in the "!" folder, only file it in ">" when the sender is not a correspondent recognized from my mail-aliases and list aliases. Ot
