Re: problem emailing pictures
" puzzling problem when sending pictures with mutt - one user on the other end has trouble printing them." This is not a Mutt problem. Possibly its a printer configuration problem... and almost certainly the user is simply not technical enough to RTFM. Using a MUA to print a photograph is kinda like using a fork to eat soup; it might eventually get the job done, but not very efficiently. The way to proceed is to suggest that your user first save the image file as filename.jpg or whatever and then use another program to actually print the image. Most printer drivers will allow images to be scaled. I'd suggest using Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). Its more than you need to simply print an image, but it will get the job done. If you wish, you can give your user my email address (off list) and I will hold his/her hand while getting through this difficulty. Lord knows I had lots of help back in the day...

problem emailing pictures
Hi, a puzzling problem when sending pictures with mutt - one user on the other end has trouble printing them. Works fine for almost everyone but this one user seems to be running some incredibly bad software which - when asked to print - prints the picture in supersize (like several sheets of paper for a single picture). Seems like the other end does expect some special email header, exif code or html attribute except I have no clue what it could be. Perhaps someone else has had this problem? The software on the other end seems to be some sort of AOL. Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers
Hashcash
I'm curious if anyone has gotten hashcash working with Mutt. http://hashcash.org/mail/mua/mutt/ seems to explain a background process and a foreground process. The hashcash-sendmail script page (the background process) is down, and I can't seem to find a copy of it anywhere online, and it's not in Debian packages. The Perl script (the foreground process) written by Tim Ruddick doesn't have any documentation on how to implement it into your ~/.muttrc. I've got the Penny Post extension in Icedove 3.0, but apparently it doesn't support 3.1, which I'm sure will come down the update pipes in Sid soon enough. I'd rather stick with Mutt as my main MUA anyhow. So, has anyone successfully implemented Hashcash into Mutt, and if so, how? -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o *** This email has been stamped using Penny Post.
