to/cc/bcc address entry bug
I realize this is a user input failure, but the result is somewhat obtuse. Let's say that you want to add a CC recipient to a list. You hit "C", and it opens the list: Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] _-cursor here If you type ", [EMAIL PROTECTED]" it works fine. But if you simple type another e-mail address, like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", the Cc: list is truncated to simply: Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .. I can't imagine that this is an intended effect. I realize that users should learn to add commas, but it seems like that many people will fall down over this one. BTW: This problem occurs in every address input field. If you open a new mail message and type: "person1, person2 person3" .. you will end up with only 1 recipient. -- Joe Rhett Systems Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISite Services PGP keys and contact information: http://www.noc.isite.net/Staff/

You are wrong, this is indeed intended. Most of the Fields auto-delete
their contents if the user simply starts to type. Only if you use an
editing function, or in this case a , to signal that you want to
modify/add to the existing list, it stays.

undo (abandon) changes *without* exit?
Hi, folks -- I know, thanks to a post to the list a while ago, about '$' to write all changes to the mailbox without requiring an exit. I also know that I can abandon all changes by exiting instead of quitting. Is there any way I can abandon, or undo, all changes a la 'x' but NOT have to exit mutt? :-D -- David Thorburn-Gundlach * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Helping out at Pfizer http://www.poboxes.com/davidtg/ Note: If poboxes.com gives you fits, try sector13.org in its place. *sigh* PGP signature

deleting collapsed threads
Hi I hope I did not misobserve this. When I have collased threads (like in esc-V) and I press 'd' it chooses one mail with an arbetrary algorithem and delets it (ok, the alg. is 'take the 1st mail' ;) Wouldn't it be more logical that 'd' will delete the whole thread? just binding 'd' to delete_threads is not an option since as soon as a thread is uncollapsed (like when reading it) I want the original behavior, as I can just press ^d when I am fed uop with this. Now, again, I could just press ^d in 1st place, but why should I want to delete a single mail from a thread I have not even looked at? Greetings -- Alexander N.

Re: mutt pgp
What I'm getting at is that while Mutt may be doing it right, you can get down off your high horse and help out the people who have to be able to work in a backwards compatible fashion. The current PGP-Notes documentation scratches the surface at best. I figured it out - as I'm sure many others have.. but if you want to be snotty, provide better documentation first. So then, please submit a petter entry for PGP-Notes.txt. I'm sure it would be included at once. Or put it on a website, which could be referred to, whenever the question pops up. If I intented to be snotty to people about it, I would certainly do that. Since I don't intend to be snotty to people about it, I feel that those who are riding their high horses should back up their actions. As time permits, I am actually working on some better notes. But I'm not being rude to people because they can't figure it out for themselves. It took me the better part of 4 hours to get a working configuration that could send and recieve messages in both fashions, as neccessary. And it's pretty messy. -- Joe Rhett Systems Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISite Services PGP keys and contact information: http://www.noc.isite.net/Staff/
ispell notification (feature suggestion)
Have mutt return a success message if ispell returns a 0. Or something like that. Currently if ispell runs over a message and finds no errors, there is no way of knowing that ispell ran at all. -- Scott
