These worked for me: color index_flags black cyan "~X1" color index_flags black red "~X2-99" I like to have only one field highlighted, though, so is it possible to have the %X field, viz the number of attachments highlighted instead of the other fields?

Re: header_cache for mbox
I have the same compile flags, however I opted for the hcache backend as tokyocabinet. Even with GDBM, I could not implement header caching on mbox :( In fact I thought at one time it was working with mbox as the loading was apparently faster than without the header_cache set in config. But I could not reproduce it. So is this indeed supported for mbox? It works for me consistantly with imap and with maildir. Faster and the files in the header_cache dir are uopdated. Nope on both counts with mbox. What is the reason for this? Eric ~ % mutt -v Mutt 1.5.23 (2014-03-12) Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Michael R. Elkins and others.

Re: pipe headers to a file on send from compose window
Thanks Jeremy Task is to create a serialised list of Subject lines for mails posted to lists. Why? So that procmail can filter any incoming list mail by using `egrep -f' on this serialised Subject list and these (presumed) replies to my posting may then be dropped in my main inbox. I only want to extract the Subject lines mails to lists, so I will have send-hook rules for mail to these known lists. I would need to define this macro only for mails to these lists (and then define "y" back to send-message). (The script to which the headers are piped will also schedule an at job to strip the Subject line from the file in n days). I do something like this with postfix alwaysbcc and procmail, but would prefer something more specific and efficient. Best place to do it is at the time of send-message when the Subject line is definitive. -- Eric Smith Jeremy Kitchen wrote on Thu-08-Nov 12 2:53AM > On Thu, Nov 08, 2012 at 12:37:27AM +0100, Eric Smith wrote: > > When piping a message from the compose menu, I receive only the > > body of the mail and not its headers. > > > > I want to capture the headers before sending the mail and am > > using this macro. > > > > macro compose ,y > > "/home/eric/bin/get_subject" > > > > The headers are not being passed to the script get_subject. > > What would be the solution? > > I really want to say that this is because you're only piping the > attachment you currently have highlighted.

auto pipe to script on viewing message with output to pager
I want to run a translation script automatically when viewing a mail in the pager. The output of the script should be displayed in the pager. What I do now is go into the attachment menu and then pipe to the script. Works perfectly but is too manual. But the automatic method should also send only the text part to the script (and pager) and only the body and not the headers although Subject: would be nice I guess. Thank you Eric Smith GOOGLE TRANSLATION com numeração à linguagem [pt] *: 1] Eu quero executar um script de tradução automática ao ver um e- mail no pager. 2] A saída do script deve ser exibido no pager. 3] O que quero fazer agora é ir para o menu de penhora e, em seguida, tubulação para o script. 4] Funciona perfeitamente, mas é muito manual. 5] Mas o método automático também deve enviar apenas uma parte do texto para o script (e pager) e apenas o corpo e não os cabeçalhos embora Assunto: seria bom eu acho. 6] Obrigado Eric Smith Original de novo na língua [en]: * 1] I want to run a translation script automatically when viewing a mail in the pager. 2] The output of the script should be displayed in the pager. 3] What I do now is go into the attachment menu and then pipe to the script. 4] Works perfectly but is too manual. 5] But the automatic method should also send only the text part to the script (and pager) and only the body and not the headers although Subject: would be nice I guess. 6] Thank you Eric Smith

run mail command with recipient of selected email
Is there (or should there be) a mutt command where user could run the mail command - for a *new* mail message - with the recipient taken automatically from the message selected in the index?

When I press reply, I want to fork a new instance of mutt with that new instance then executions the editor with the replied to message and headers in place.

sidebar patch - performance
My pleasure in having the sidebar patch transform the mutt user experience has just been destroyed by observing the poor performance of for example scrolling up and down the index. There seems to be some buffer overload with delayed response compared to an unpatched mutt which is much more responsive. Am I alone in experiencing this? It also seems strange to me that the sidebar feature is not seen as a high priority by the general mutt community. -- - Eric Smith

Re: global case insensitivity on hooks
Michael
To my understanding,
this makes every address listed in the recipients_list lowercase
but does not solve the problem that in the email header, the
address might have unpredictable case.
So I want the recipe to match any case in the header.
Also, I should have added that my hook is compound viz:
send-hook "~t `cat ~/recipients_trustfood` ~C ([EMAIL PROTECTED]|.*\>cl)" 'set
signature="cat signature_chile ...

fcc-save-hook and ignoring cc:
I prefer to use a combined fcc and save hook. These are automatically generated whenever I create a new contact. However, with the Fcc: part, when it sees a Cc address, this over-rules the To: address so the mail is saved in the folder matching the rule of the Cc: address. *Not* at all what I want. Using the ~t regex breaks the save-hook part as it always saves the mails I send in my own folder and not the recipients. What is the solution? Thanks Eric

Viewing attachments with detached process while remianing in attachments menu
Like in other mail clients I just want to press on the selected attachment and view it and then go down to the next and view it. So I may open any number of the attachments at one time. To detach I am using a mailcap recipe of: image/jpg; sh -c "exec display %s > /dev/null 2>&1 &" When I concatenate in .muttrc or on the mutt colon command line as followS: view-attach exit The viewing does not work properly, (xview no-op and display gives an X windows fiule listing option). When I just go view-attach the viewing works fine but I get plonked into the Pager and have to exit from there. How do i fix this? Is it too much to ask that this works out of the box? Ot am I missing some things? Even nicer would be an open-all-attachment macro. Thanks Eric

As I mentioned in my original mail, this has become a pain
for me - a real pain - I want to be always in my ~ dir.
Default save from mutt must be in ~ and when I want to
read something into a mail edit session or add an attachment,
9+ times out of 10 the file is in my ~ dir.
So I had enough and changed this function:
u() {
if [ $1 ]
then
mutt $@
else
cd #/data/Mail
^^^
mutt
cd -
fi
}
Changing and navigating folders is one of the most fundamental
functions of a MUA so something that makes this more convenient
by obviating a silly keypress each time can IMO, hardly be
regarded as adding a kitchen sink.
(The reading and attaching problem, may be fixed if with the set
editor command you could cd to another dir before launching your
editor).

default directory for change-folder
I believe that mutt should automatically prepend the value of the set-folder variable to whatever the user enters as the destination folder when issuing the change-folder command (bound by default to 'c'). To get round this I have lived with mutt being executed from my mail folder dir - but this workaround is no longer convenient for me. Also you could map macro index c = But then you lose the (partially useful) functionality of the last active folder being offered by mutt as the default.

concatenating and in a macto
Sometimes I like to have the mail sent when I exit my editor - often in fact - meaning I skip the compose screen. So I used to fiddle a lit with the set editor command but that is not the answer, I just tried this: macro w index "" and this works when you have a pending message as I did cause the answers the prompt to resume the postponed message, then you edit that message and voila it sends automatically on closing the editor. But when you have no pending message (as is normal for me) then the ends up as a suggested subject. Am I being dense? What is the way to do this? -- Eric Smith
