Hi! I've been lurking here for a week or so, but now it's time for a barrage of questions.
I previously used The Bat (one of the better MUA's for Win32, IMO), but got tired of it and decided to fool around with my linux laptop that has been mostly a toy until now. So in a rather sado-masochistic move I switched to mutt and vim. :-) After the initial shellshock, I found the combination quite enjoyable. Not all of the questions are 100% mutt-related, so if you feel they're way OT, just don't answer. 1: What does the * mean on the tree arrow in a thread? I've searched the manual for this repeatedly, but I must keep missing it. 2: I'm having major problems with my locale settings -- I can't get mutt to display Swedish characters and umlauts, I get an octal value instead. (This seems to be a pretty common question, according to Google...) I've tried various locale settings, but I still can't get it to work. 'locale -a' gives a list of available locales, and 'swedish' is the closest choice -- there's no 'sv_SE' available. (I've been using linux for a couple of years, but I've never really done any administrative stuff) 3: I have two separate inboxes, one normal and one for spam that I check every now and then. For normal mailboxes I ignore most of the headers, but for the spam box I want to show all headers, so I have the following hooks: folder-hook . 'ignore X- Resent- Errors-To Envelope-To' folder-hook IN-Spambox 'unignore *' This part works fine -- ignore headers in normal boxes, show all in the spambox. But when I return to another mbox, all headers are unignored, apparently ignoring the first folder-hook. Where's the painfully obvious mistake here? -- ____________________________________________________________________________ ||| echofive at swipnet dot se | icq: 1555989 | http://echo.ashpool.org/ |||
