slackware term question

I've changed over from Redhat 7.2 to Slackware 8.0. In slack I'm using the standard kernel 2.2.19. I'm using mutt 1.2.1-1 and a modified .muttrc from Roland Rosenfeld site. It worked fine in Redhat but in slack I have a problem. In X, I don't have any color in mutt. Yet from the console the color

Re: Sorting in mailbox question

I've been planning to do this for a while. It seems to me that the only time that more than two levels of sorting is useful is when the first level is threads. If anyone can give me a plausible scenario where they'd want more than three, or more than two unthreaded, I'll think about my approach.

Re: Index format

My experience with hooks is that if you have to set specific mailbox hooks BEFORE setting a default. Try changing the order of the hooks so that the default comes after all the others. My o/s and version are as above. John On 02/06/02, 05:36:23PM +, Patrick Colbeck wrote: > Hi > > Unfortu

Mailbox is read-only.

Hi! I have just set up my mail server using postfix. Then I read the mail by using Mutt. After I read the mails and want to delete it, I press 'd' or '^d'. But, I got 'Mailbox is read-only' message. Why? I have checked the permission by typing: ls -ld /var/spool/mail/ngterry and I get: -
