Sounds like a good idea.

CygWin is GPL-ed, according to their FAQ.  (Although I don't quite
understand how they can sell CygWin 1.0 for $99 w/o any download
options...)

Today I somehow managed to build Mutt 1.1.4 w/ CygWin B20.1 and ncurses
5.0, however it isn't fully functional (it dumped core on me a couple of
times).  It would also be nice to have binaries for fetchmail (does it
compile on CygWin?) and perhaps ssmtp.  I don't have much time for
playing with all this at work, though (and I don't use Windows at home).

 generic does not match pager section ?

It should match, provided that there's no specific binding for the keys
in that map (=the context, index/pager/etc.).  Ie. the map-specific
bindings always override generic bindings.  So you can't make a generic
binding and expect it to work immediately in all the different contexts,
it only takes effect if those contexts don't have a definition in their
map.

So, I'm guessing that you have ? bound to help in the pager.

Possible solutions:

1) bind ? in pager (and all the other maps where you want it to work)
specifically to search, and do the same for f1

2) un-bind ? in pager, so that the generic binding will take effect.
There's no un-bind command, you do it by binding the key to the special
function "noop" -- "bind pager ? noop"

I recommend approach 1.


If this doesn't help, please be more specific about your "this does not
work" -- which keys, both?  What happens when you press them: nothing,
some error, wrong function gets called?


Regards,
Mikko
(... who couldn't get "bind generic ? search" to work either, even
though ? was un-bound in pager -- Mutt said "key not bound" when I
pressed the ? key.  Also, does anyone know how can I view the current
generic key bindings?)

send-hook executing externel unix command

2000-02-24 Thread Markus Fischer


Hi all,

lately I tried to write a send-hook like this :

[from ~/.muttrc]
send-hook '.*' '`generate_new_signature.pl`'

It calls 'generate_new_signature.pl', which overwrite
~/.signature so I have a new signature every time a send a new
mail (I allready realized that send-hook gets exectued at least
two timeswhen sending a mail, but thats no problem since those
signatures are randomly choosen from a set of files anyway).

But mutt than complains about ": unkown command", because it
expects that stdout from generate_new_signature.pl generates a
valid mutt command. I now set the outout to "set sort=threads"
because its my default sort option I have everywhere, but I would
like to know how to execute a command without haveing to fidle
with the stdout.

Thanks for your time !

kind regards,
Markus

VT100 terminals have two "modes", application and normal mode.  The
application mode returns the "\EO" sequences, while normal mode returns
the "\E[" sequences.  I have no idea why this is done.  Ask DEC what
they had in mind.  :)

 So jed sees different codes for home/end (but they don´t work ;-)

The mode of the terminal is controlled by escape sequences being sent. 
You probably have ncurses putting the terminal into one mode, and slang
putting it into the other mode.

 I changed terminfo to ^[[5~ and so on as Marius suggested.  But
 "infocmp $TERM" still gives the same codes.  Did the change not work
 or are these things just different notations for the same codes?

In order to make changes to the terminfo database, you must run "tic". 
That is, generate a file with infocmp, edit it, then compile that file
with tic.  Is that what you did?

If there's demand for it, perhaps one of the people who has succeeded
in building mutt on Windows could provide an unofficial executable. Or
does the Cygwin version require a library that can't be redistributed?
