Offline hcache access
Is there a way to start Mutt and use the local hcache contents for viewing mail that has been cached locally? So far my attempts to search for this have only yielded details on setting up offlineimap which isn't quite what I'm looking to do. Clearly this would solve the problem, but I'd rather not have everything from all my accounts sync'd to my various desktops just for the few times I want to look at a recent mail without internet access. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 = Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP

Ah yes this makes sense. I guess from my perspective it was difficult to know whether there was not much activity because it was stable or because it was abandoned. I am delighted to know the good news. > Moreover, most people want a GUI based mailreader nowadays (which > isn't nearly as capable and convenient as mutt - they just don't know) :-) Indeed. Indeed! I am beginning to see such power. Xu

Most of the reason is for fun :) Also if someday I find a bug, I like to try to reproduce the bug on latest version before reporting it. I find that developers appreciate that. Xu

This is useful to me to see an example, even though I could have gotten information from configure --help. I actually like to see an example of what someone else does so I know that I am using a sensible or common configure command. > >> For example, how to build the equivalent of mutt-patched?

I guess I saw that since there is shipped mutt-patched that it is very common to patch mutt. Also I have seen that there is low level of development on mutt last few years so I imagined (without much knowledge) that this meant maybe some things were broken. Xu > > >

mutt & S/MIME
Hi! I want to use mutt to send S/MIME encrypted/signed mails. I managed to set up keys for myself and a friend once already, but they expired, so I replaced my key. (I haven't managed to replace his key yet. I find handling keys very hard, because there are too many formats and most guides assume too much knowledge, and smime_keys errors out quite easily.) Is there a way to configure mutt in such a way that I can read mails encrypted using my old key and ones encrypted using my current key in the same session? Using the piece of code most pages cite: set crypt_autosign = no set smime_default_key=".1" set smime_timeout=3600 # always encrypt to myself as well set smime_encrypt_command="openssl smime -encrypt -%a -outform DER -in %f %c /home/wiz/.smime/certificates/.1" I have to use change "smime_default" before every start to the appropriate key, otherwise it doesn't work.
