Re: Rock solid no GUI pim?
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-04-26 13:20]: A couple of months ago I ditched GUI mail programs for ever. I'm now a happy mutt user. Now I'm looking for A) a calendar program plan, but it is an GUI program. B) an address book, that are as non graphical, For mutt I recommend - abook, an address book and - lbdb, little brother's database, something like Emacs' BBDB; you can pipe all incoming mails in it (e.g. with procmail) and it stores all email addresses. Both, abook and lddb, can be queried by mutt for email addresses. .muttrc: # query for email addresses set query_command=lbdbq '%s' # no lbdb, just abook #set query_command=abook --mutt-query '%s' .lbdbrc: # what should be queried when asked by mutt (ascending priority) METHODS=m_passwd m_inmail m_muttalias m_abook stable and as versatile as mutt. Both work and never had a failure, at least for me. Anything that works with emacs gets a plus. Sorry, no emacs here. ;-) But if you usually use emacs, you could switch to it entirely -- use VM or Gnus as mail clients.

Emacs has got a calendar with a diary if I remember correctly. You can
also look at bbdb to work with emacs for an addressbook:
Description: The Insidious Big Brother Database (email rolodex)
for Emacs BBDB is a rolodex-like database program for GNU Emacs.
BBDB stands for Insidious Big Brother Database, and is not,
repeat, *not* an obscure reference to the Buck Rogers TV series.
Or build a table or two with postgres and build a few regular queries
as short bash scripts which you can run whenever want to do something
with the data.
Here is an example of an old and very primitive but functional script
that looks up telephone numbers from a few tables in my database:
---
#!/bin/sh
VELDE=noemnaam,van,voorletters as vrl,adres1,telefoon,werktelefoon as\
werk,selfoon,faks
TABELLE=lidmate,besoekpunt
VOORWAARDES=lower(van) like lower('$1%') and bpnommer = besoekpunt.nommer
if [ ! -z $2 ]
then
VOORWAARDES=$VOORWAARDES and lower(noemnaam) like lower('$2%')
fi
ORDER=van, noemnaam
VELDE2=naam,van, besigheid, adres,huis,werk,faks, ander
TABELLE2=pilot
VOORWAARDES2=lower(besigheid) like lower('$1%') or lower(van) like\
lower('$1%')
if [ ! -z $2 ]
then
VOORWAARDES2=$VOORWAARDES2 and lower(naam) like lower('$2%')
fi
ORDER2=van, besigheid, naam
echo select $VELDE from $TABELLE where $VOORWAARDES order by $ORDER;\
| psql $LOGNAME
echo select $VELDE2 from $TABELLE2 where $VOORWAARDES2 order by\
$ORDER2; | psql $LOGNAME

For addressbook, check out BBDB. -- Bud Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sirinet.net/~budr All things in moderation.
