2019-05-13 Thread jeremy bentham
I used xwd to take a screen dump, then imagemagick to trim and save it as a gif. When I tried to attach it to a message, mutt decided it was "audio/basic", as it did with a jpeg of the same image. png gave me "image/png" so I did, finally, get what I wanted. But the file, of course, is a lot bi

2012-06-19 Thread jeremy bentham
I recently switched to mutt from pine, and I like it a lot, except for one thing: I can't send mail from my local machine, using my isp's smtp server. I can do it just fine from pine, providing I have started an imap session on one of my isp's machines. (I'm doing this message in pine). But, de
