Actually, I'm using mutt... how would I do that? and also, how do I set the colours so that different headers, signatures, quoted lines, etc in a message are seen in different colours? I think I have most colour options in my .muttrc file activated: ----- /home/user/.muttrc ----- # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # # ME's personal .muttrc (Mutt 0.92.5) # Note: $folder should be set _before_ any other path vars where `+' or `=' # is used because paths are expanded when parsed # set folder=~/Mail # where i keep my mailboxes #set abort_unmodified=yes # automatically abort replies if I don't # change the message set alias_file=~/.mail_aliases # where I keep my aliases set allow_8bit # never do Q-P encoding on legal 8-bit chars #set arrow_cursor # use -> instead of hiliting the whole line #set ascii_chars # use ASCII instead of ACS chars for threads #set askbcc set askcc set attribution="%n dixit:" set autoedit # go to the editor right away when composing #set auto_tag # always operate on tagged messages set charset="iso-8859-1" # character set for your terminal set noconfirmappend # don't ask me if i want to append to mailboxes set confirmcreate # prompt when creating new files set copy=no # always save a copy of outgoing messages set delete=yes # purge deleted messages without asking #set edit_headers # let me edit the message header when composing set editor="/usr/bin/jstar" #set fast_reply # skip initial prompts when replying #set fcc_attach # keep attachments in copies of sent messages? #set force_name # fcc by recipient, create if mailbox doesn't exist #set forward_decode # weed and MIME decode forwaded messages #set forward_format="[%a: %s]" # subject to use when forwarding messages set forward_quote # quote the header and body of forward msgs #set hdr_format="%4C %Z %{%m/%d} [%2N] %-15.15F (%4c) %s" set hdr_format="%4C %Z %{%m/%d} %-15.15F (%4c) %s" # format of the index #set hdrs # include `my_hdr' lines in outgoing messages #set header # include message header when replying set help # show the help lines #set history=20 # number of lines of history to remember set hostname="vlc.servicom.es" # my DNS domain set include # always include messages when replying set indent_string="> " # how to quote replied text #set locale="C" # locale to use for printing time #set mailcap_path="~/.mailcap:/usr/local/share/mailcap" set nomark_old # i don't care about whether a message is old set mail_check=10 # how often to poll for new mail set mbox=+mbox # where to store read messages #set menu_scroll # no implicit next-page/prev-page #set metoo # remove my address when replying set mime_forward # use message/rfc822 type to forward messages set move=no # don't ask about moving messages, just do it set pager=less # some people prefer an external pager #set pager_context=3 # no. of lines of context to give when scrolling #set pager_format="-%S- %-20.20f %s" # format of the pager status bar set pager_index_lines=6 # how many index lines to show in the pager #set pager_stop # don't move to the next message on next-page #set pgp_strict_enc # use Q-P encoding when needed for PGP set postponed=+postponed # mailbox to store postponed messages in #set post_indent_string='---end quoted text---' #set print=ask-yes # ask me if I really want to print messages set print_command=/bin/false # how to print things (I like to save trees) set noprompt_after # ask me for a command after the external pager exits #set quote_regexp="^ *[a-zA-Z]*[>:#}]" # how to catch quoted text set read_inc=25 # show progress when reading a mailbox #set recall # prompt to recall postponed messages set record=+outbox # default location to save outgoing mail set reply_to # always use reply-to if present #set reply_regexp="^(re:[ \t]*)+"# how to identify replies in the subject: #set resolve # move to the next message when an action is performed #set reverse_alias # attempt to look up my names for people set reverse_name # use my address as it appears in the message # i am replying to set nosave_empty # remove files when no messages are left #set save_name # save outgoing messages by recipient, if the #set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem" # how to deliver mail #set shell="/bin/zsh" # program to use for shell escapes set signature="/home/homega/Mail/.signature" set sort=threads # primary sorting method set sort_aux=reverse-date-received # how to sort subthreads #set sort_aux=last-date # date of the last message in thread set sort_browser=reverse-date # how to sort files in the dir browser #set spoolfile='~/mailbox' # where my new mail is located set spoolfile='/var/spool/mail/homega' #set status_format="-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n?
