Strange messages
Hi, I don't know if this is related to mutt or the list software, but I keep getting messaages from a particular list of the following format: 1 no description [multipa/alternativ] 2 +-no description [text/plain] 3 +-no description [text/plain] 4 +-no description [multipa/related] 5 +-no description [text/html] 2 is the textual body of the list post, and 5 it's HTML form. 3 is the listserv's signature. 1 displays 3, and 4 displays 5. In pine and most other mailers, 3 is displayed followed by 2 (so it makes sense!), but mutt displays part 1 (sig only!). Who's right here? I think the messages probably start life as multipart/alternative of 2 and 5, and then 3 is added and the message mauled by the listserver. Regards, Luke -- Luke Ross - http://lcr.sys3175.co.uk
Re: Strange messages
Hi, Inspecting an example message in the mailbox reveals that the structure is as per the display, except the main body (part 1) is of type: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=B1 How does the interpretation of multipart/mixed differ from multipart/alternative, and why does mutt show the former as the latter in this case? Regards, Luke On Mon, Jun 18, 2001 at 09:56:09AM -0700, Michael Elkins wrote: Judging from the display you pasted in your message, the top level MIME content-type is multipart/alternative, meaning that the MUA is supposed to display ONE of the following parts based upon local preference. Each of 2, 3 and 4 are considered to be equivalent, so only one need be displayed to the user.

Re: timestamp of mailbox file is not updated
Hi Might be helpful with some naive new-mail checking programs, but of course breaks mechanisms which really look for mailbox updates. I vote for removing the code. (c: Anyone objects?

Trouble is the bash man page didnt say how it decided if there was new mail. I don't see what the big issue is - sure it didn't work for you, but it doesn't seem to have upset many other people here.

Re: mutt and HTML
If you have lynx installed, try putting: text/html;/usr/bin/lynx -force_html -dump %s; copiousoutput in your .mailcap. Then lynx formats it properly (well sort of) and displays it in the builtin pager.

Re: Mutt 1.3.25 on Win2000 (cygwin)

I would like to run the same email client under windows as under my favorite Unix. However Cygwin only contains the stable version and I do need good IMAP support. I tried to compile it myself, but could not get it to work. It requires libiconv which doesn't compile on my system. Use http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/robert-collins/other/libiconv-1.7-1.tar.bz2 I found that my cygwin also needed mutt to be compiled with -DBROKEN_LINKER because of a few problems with cygwin's ncurses. Works fine though. Luke

Should be trivial I use http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/view-x-face You need the compface package, and icontopbm (both readily available), but you pipe it a message and it displays it on X (using xview here), or if theres no X terminal it'll convert it to ASCII which works nicely (pbmtoascii). Going back to the original point, the compface package has info on making an X-Face in the man page IIRC. Regards, Luke smime.p7s Description: application/pkcs7-signature
Re: differnet color in body!
Hi,

How to make some different color in body something like
*text* _text_ etc?
It may have been done better before, but:
color body brightred default \\*[^*]{0,30}\\*
color body brightred default _[^_]{0,30}\\_
seems to work here. The {0,30} is arbitary, it just stops mutt
colouring everything between two *s that are a long way away (I hope)

[Slightly OT] [PATCH] DSN for ssmtp
Hi,
Sorry if this is done before, but I wanted to support DSN under cygwin.
sendmail isnt the easiest thing to compile under cygwin, and a bit
overkill, so I've tweaked ssmtp to take the DSN flags in a sendmailish
style.
Regards,
Luke

A previous bugfix in another part of smime.c mentioned that this is bad, and it added a sleep(5) call whose purpose i didn't understand -- surely there must be a more elegant way? How about a red line in the status bar? Would be most elegent surely? I'm still on old S/MIME mutt, and I saw: Alert: Certificate belongs to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. But sender was [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Re: close IMAP connections
Hi, when I don't access that one folder for a while, and I switch to it (with a macro), I get an error connection closed and an empty index. the only thing I could find that would fix this is to quit mutt and start it again - a new connection will then be established. Check out $imap_keepalive This, and the other suggestions, don't work if, say your connection drops. I use mutt patched with vvv-nntp (I know not now - I'm on holiday on a strange computer), and if the NNTP connection gets closed it asks if you want to reconnect, and then continues where it left off - perhaps IMAP can be patched to do the same.

Re: Exploit.IFrame.FileDownload virus??
Hi, Thomas Baker wrote: I use Cygwin Mutt 1.2.5i (2000-07-05) on Win2000 and just got messages from two people with a short text message saying Your password is 12zxjkjl123kjl12jz. But the size of each of the messages, according to Mutt, was 65k. After viewing the message with the default viewer (only), my virus protector popped up with a message to the effect that c:\tmp\mutt-mutt-LEPIDUS-2136-12 was infected with the Exploit.IFrame.FileDownload virus. Before deleting, I looked at its file entry -- it was roughly 250k and bore a time-stamp of several minutes earlier, when I had been reading the message. I saved one of the messages to a file named virus and tried opening it with vim, but got a message like file is readonly. I deleted that too. According to F-Secure Web site, this is a virus that exploits a flaw in Internet Explorer, and by extension mail readers that use it, such as Outlook. No surprise there! The only surprise to me is that 250k infected file which appeared in my c:/tmp. What kind of things does Mutt park there, and where could that big file have come from?? Surely Mutt would not have uncompressed anything without telling me...? When I used cygwin mutt to read over IMAP, it always cached every message in /tmp, causing my virus scanner to have a bad day. mutt never ran them, it just stored them there whilst processing them (why I don't know).
