Here are my comments:

Instead of ssmtp and handmade scripts I use exim for sending mail. With
the exim-config script it can be configured in 5 minutes and it can send
offline mails. It doesn't even need to run as a daemon.

MailDir works fine here together with 2cygwn managed mounts, see
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00799.html and the thread
around it.

The perl LDAP-support for mutt works fine here, it compiled OOTB with
the latest perl version from cygwin AFAIR.

Gruss Olaf Föllinger

Mutt + Cygwin on the go

2003-12-25 Thread Miki Tebeka
Hello All,

I've written a little page on my experience with cygwin + mutt + laptops
(reading/sending mail offline).

I'd be glad to hear any comments.

Your page contains interresting materials.
However, I'm not very fond of the text/* and application/* mailcap
entries -- I'm a litlle bit paranoid, and using w3m which is great to
answer to HTML posts.
text/html;   w3m %s; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
text/html;   w3m -dump %s; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

(don't forget in the muttrc:
  alternative_order text/enriched text/plain text 
)


And BTW, I have no problem with cygstart with pdf and rtf documents.

Merry Christmas to all!
