Re: yes/no nls
Alex Kapranoff:
I just wanted to ask if $subject annoys someone else. I'm a recent user
of 1.0pre2 and it has a bug fixed with a side-effect: I can't use 'y' and
'n' answering yes-or-no questions - only russian chars work. Previous
version let me use both cyrillic and latin chars.
I explored both 0.95 and 1.0 sources and came to the list to suggest giving
up nlsing yes-or-no questions. If we use english chars throughout the mutt's
interface ('c' to open mbox, 'm' to mail etc.) why should we change this
convention for a single piece of user-to-mutt dialog?
I have some ideas ready... But maybe you have some reasonable
arguments against it? If not I'll go to mutt-dev.
I don't have an opinion, and I don't speak Russion, but I'd be
interested to hear the arguments.
Presumably with a Russian keyboard it is easier to type a Russian
character than an English/Latin/ASCII one. Is it therefore not
inconvenient to have the interface using English/Latin/ASCII chars
throughout?

I'm quite new to mutt and I've a small problem. I do not know how to create an alias for different e.mails. Suppose I want to create an alias (i.e. friends) in order to mail simultaniously differents friends. This is possible with pine but i have no idea on how to manage it with mutt. Any help will be apreciated.

Line wrapping with vi
Hi! I missed the earlier thread about this but here goes: I use nvi on a system where it is not possible to install vim. Before with vim I used 'set editor="vim +/^$/ -c 'set tw=72 et'"' but not I read in the about using : set editor="vi -c 'set wrapmargin=14'" with nvi, and this works great, but I really miss the "+/^$/ part, now when I start mutt with vi cursur is at the bottom of the mail. With vim I got right below the headers. Any ideas how to get this with nvi? Best regards, Anders -- Anders Andersson[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sanyusan International AB http://www.sanyusan.se/

save-hook

'bind index d delete-message' folder-hook . set 'sort=threads' folder-hook "!"

Emacs mutt mode?

procmail an IMAP inbox
Hi, How do I run an IMAP inbox through procmail? What I want to do is: 1. mark delete all duplicate messages 2. filter my mail into folders (less important) According to FAQ on www.procmail.org, I could run an existing mailbox file through a procmail recipe with: formail -s procmail experiments.rc test.mbox So I tried saving a message TWICE from IMAP inbox to $HOME/mail/folder, and run this in mutt: | formail -s procmail .procmailrc But it didn't change anything. Here's my .procmailrc --- begin PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/.procmail/maillog # Keep backups of the last 32 messages in mail/backup directory :0 c .procmail/backup :0 ic | cd .procmail/backup rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,32d` # Filter out duplicate messages from mailing lists. :0 Wh: .procmail/msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 .procmail/msgid.cache --- end Thanks, Robert

I've download a copy of mutt-1.0pre2.tar.gz, I have used gzip and decompressed the drive, copied the remaining tar file to VOL.000.000 on my SCO Open Server 5 box, but custom says it's unable to install Mutt.

[stable,unstable] buffer overflow in the text/enriched handler
The attached patch fixes a buffer overflow in mutt's text/enriched
handler. Additionally, a second problem which may lead to unlimited
growth of the buffer in question is fixed.
Thanks to Andreas Kirchwitz for noting that there was a problem.
