YA ph wrapper for query_command
Hi, all.
I was poking through the ph wrappers on Brandon Long's page, and none of them
really let me do what I wanted (and none used the perl PH module, which is
handy), so I wrote my own.
The big difference is that it takes a bunch of arguments on the commandline
that let you customize the output a bit. Firstly, the server; this will let
you change query_command with a macro or hook to change your ph server. Then,
it lets you specify the name of the fields that the 'name' and 'email address'
are in. It's "name" and "email" here, but I'm not sure if that's consistent
everywhere. Lastly, it lets you specify other arbitrary fields to fill in
the "info" blank in the query results with whatever you like.
Brandon, I'd be charmed if you included this with the rest of 'em on your
mutt page..

real-time viewing output of the (sendmail) delivery process
I recently upgraded from mutt 0.95 to 1.0i (using the Debian "slink" package). I'm pretty sure that this upgrade is what triggered the following change in behavior: before, I would see in "real time" the output of my sendmail process (I have a -v on my sendmail command), but now I just see the words "Sending Mail..." in the status line, and only get the "Output of delivery process" (viewed with the internal pager) if the delivery fails. The manual says in the "sendmail_wait" section: Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child process will be put in a temporary file. If there is some error, you will be informed as to where to find the output. My sendmail_wait *is* 0, but it seems that the output is put into a temporary file anyway. I assume that most people like the new behavior better (that is, that it is a feature), but I like to watch the SMTP connections as they happen and so I'd like to get the old behavior back. Is there any way to do this? I didn't see this mentioned in the "changes" file (or the FAQ), or find anything in the manual that looked apropriate. Thanks.

unqualified domain name
My smtp server won't let me mail because of an unqualified domain name. I "set hostname=earthlink.net", but mutt still doesn't attach that to the from address. When mutt connects to the server, it does a "MAIL FROM:", is there a way to change this so it does a "MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"? Thanks, Jonathan Hseu (Vomjom)

But when I'm on > first entry and 'r'eply, mutt does not attach attachment. OK, maybe I should have documented this change a little bit better. :-) The rationale behind the behaviour you are observing is this: When you are replying to an attachment (or to a list of attachments), mutt will try to included these attachments with the quoted part of the message. Now, there may be attachments with a content type which can't be converted to plain text. In this event, the behaviour is controlled by $mime_forward_rest when you are applying the reply function to a list of tagged attachments. However, when you are replying to an individual attachment which can't be converted to plain text, mutt assumes (or rather, I assumed when writing that code) that you do so on purpose, and includes it as an attachment with your reply message without asking. BTW, similar semantics apply when _forwarding_ attachments, but in this case, mime_forward is used to tell mutt not to try to convert _any_ attachments to text/plain. You may also wish to try the various message-related functions on message/rfc822 attachments. For instance, try to resend-message the message/rfc822 attachment included with an error notification from your mail subsystem. ;-) -- http://www.guug.de/~roessler/
strange reply behaviour
hi, I'm using mutt 1.1.2 and I've found one strange reply behaviour. When I press 'r' as reply on message which have an attachment and I'm viewing it via 'v' as view-attachments command and cursor is on attached file(2), like this: 1 [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0.1K] 2 lr61.jpg [image/jpeg, base64, 119K] mutt include my attachment to reply message! But when I'm on first entry and 'r'eply, mutt does not attach attachment. In mutt version 1.0 mutt does not attach attachment any time. I haven't set :set_mime_forward or any others settings on which it can depend. -- The messenger is not important!
