gpg fails
Reply-To: Hi! In the mutt versions after 1.0i (1.1i and 1.1.1i) the gpg call doesnt work anymore. After the input of the passphrase mutt just says 'Invoking PGP ...' and doesnt do anything ... any hints? chris PGP signature
Re: gpg fails
Hello Christian, n the mutt versions after 1.0i (1.1i and 1.1.1i) the gpg call doesnt work anymore. After the input of the passphrase mutt just says 'Invoking PGP ...' and doesnt do anything ... any hints? i posted a similar mail here. Concerning mutt and pgp 6.5.1i. It seems not to be interest to someone here on the list. Or there is no solution. In your case i think it is an error in your .muttrc, gpg works here. kind regards, Micha

Maybe that will throw some light on it. gpg-2comp revisions before 1.3 had flaws with some option/setup combinations. Please look at http://muppet.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de/~gero/gpg-2comp/ for changes - er, probably that can't really be fixed, because there are dozens of options interacting in multiple ways. For standard configurations it should work, though, people who choose exotic options should know what they so.

Re: cannot change mailbox name
sam rosenfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a single-user (me) box with two potential mail users -- root and user. When I'm logged in as "user" and open mutt, I get an error message which reads: "/var/spool/mail/root: Permission denied (errno=13)". The setting that controls this is called $spoolfile. You should check to see if it is getting set somewhere. It probably isn't, because if it's not set, Mutt will create a convenient default that probably points to the right place. The environment will come into play, though. If there is a $MAIL variable in your environment, it will be used as the default for $spoolfile. Otherwise, a default is constructed from the $USER variable. So I would presume that, either you have $MAIL set to /var/spool/mail/root, or you have $USER set to root. Both of these mean there is some misconfiguration in your login-session scripts, and probably not in any Mutt config scripts. And, I want to make my screen a bit more attractive and readable. How do I set the COLORFGBG? (The manual.txt is a bit obscure on this issue.) This is a SLANG config variable, not exactly a Mutt config (though Mutt might have been compiled with Slang on your system). The COLORFGBG variable defines the foreground and background colors that your terminal has. Slang has no way to know, for instance, that your terminal's foreground color might be cyan, and the background might be black. So you can set this variable so that Slang can tell: export COLORFGBG="cyan;black" This does *NOT* mean that when you run a Slang program, it will make your foregroudn be cyan, and your background black! Instead it means that, when Slang runs with this setting, it will assume that, if the foreground is supposed to be cyan, and the background is supposed to be black, that it can just print normal, uncolored spaces, or use screen- clear and line-clear commands, because the proper colors will get used by the terminal. Now, that's probably clear as mud. :( -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.

Re: Killing an xterm with mutt
* Jan Houtsma ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [991109 18:33]: If i run mutt in an xterm (xterm -e mutt) and i read email then when i kill the window with the X in the right top corner of the window of course kills mutt also. But apparently mutt doesnt catch this signal cause it doesnt update the status of the messages i already read in that session. Would that be nice to have? I am lazy and pressing that X is easier then typing "q", "y" :-) :set quit=yes Now you just have to type 'q' - from anywhere within the xterm. Isn't that much easier than reaching for the mouse and place it on the "X" first? ;-) But you have a point there - mutt does not exit gracefully. Sven

The "y" that he's referring to might be the "delete" prompt, so perhaps :set delete=yes would also help, and perhaps :set move=no (or yes) would help further. Isn't that much easier than reaching for the mouse and place it on the "X" first? ;-) I am inclined to agree that, in a mailer program, the hands are more likely to be located closer to the keyboard, than the mouse. :) But you have a point there - mutt does not exit gracefully. This could be argued quite a bit, I imagine. Suppose your X server blew up, and took all your windows with it? Mutt cannot tell the difference between that condition, and closing the xterm with the [X] button. In both cases, the xterm disappears from around Mutt, and it has no idea why. In this case, Mutt errs on the side of caution, because it doesn't want to lose information, unless it's sure that you are really quitting. -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.

What's different in the X server blowing up, why shouldn't Mutt exit gracefully in that situation? I agree that there should be caution taken in this situation, but I'm not sure if exiting without saving anything is the right choice. And another point is that someone closing the xterm intentionally is a much more common event than the X server crashing (I would hope!), even if that doesn't mean the latter should be ignored as a possibility. I wonder how feasible it would be to add some sort of option for this? Or a configure option possibly? Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

Re: Can there be too many color definitions?
I've got a strange problem. After I updated to Mutt v1.0 ((1999-10-22) (the Debian package 1.0.0-2) all my colors were mixed around. After playing around quite a bit I found that I have to comment out the following lines in /etc/Muttrc: Debian's /etc/Muttrc is a complete disaster in my experience. It almost put me off mutt when I first tried it. It's probably a good idea to delete the file altogether.

Re: Alternates
On Wed, Nov 10, 1999 at 05:55:08PM -0500, Nathan Cullen thus spoke: I am trying to figure out the syntax of the "alternates" option. The mutt manual says "A regexp that allows you to specify alternate addresses where you receive email". My question is, can I have multiple "alternates" (one for each email address), or do I have to bunch them all in to one big regex? Thanks for any assitance you can give! I assumed it should be a regex and wrote mine that way...you're right though, it isn't clear...they should perhaps put [multiple] on settings that may have multiple listings (ignore, lists, etc) as opposed to ones that do not. The giveaway may be whether it needs "set"... Since it uses set, it should just be one expression...I believe that was my rationale for doing one regexp to begin with. If it doesn't use "set", then it's probably a multiple-capable setting. mark- -- Fairlight- |||[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fairlight Consulting __/\__ ||| "I'm talking for free... | http://www.fairlite.com ||| It's a New Religion..." | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/||| PGP Public Key available via finger @iglou, or Key servers
