Odd mono problem
Mutt 1.1.9i has been installed on my site. I now have an irritating problem with mono display: the tree is displayed in reverse. I have not defined any mono attribute for the tree in my .muttrc. However, if I specify `bold' for the tree, the whole index turns bold, but the tree remains reverse! Any ideas of what is going on here? -- Holger Lillqvist

This would be useless, since mutt would have to store that communication somewhere. Thus, the problem would bite itself into the tail. You're right, of course, though you would get the slight advantage of mutt not having to store the passphrase for very long, so it would be unlikely that it would be swapped out in that time. To be really safe the separate suid program would have to communicate directly with GnuPG. Perhaps the separate passphrase-remembering program could spawn GnuPG when requested by Mutt ... I'm just speculating here ... Yes, this is the right way to do it, and I believe ssh2 has something to this effect. The idea is as follows: 1) GnuPG itself requires a passphrase and requires setuid root so that it can lock the passphrase in memory. 2) You have a daemon, say gnupgd, which is also setuid root. It's job is to a) cache the passphrase in locked memory, and b) maintain a list of procs/access tokens that have successfully authenticated themselves with gnupgd. 3) Your actual application, in this case mutt. Mutt accesses gnupg through gnupgd. The first time it talks to it, mutt must authenticate itself with gnupgd. Advantages of this approach: -gnupgd is VERY simple, and therefore it should be easier to keep it secure -if mutt is compromised, it does not provide access to the passphrase or the key, although it would allow someone to use the key until the mutt process or gnupgd died (say on a reboot). -if the swap space is examined you only get access to a gnupgd token, which of course is only valid for a limited period of time. Disadvantages of this approach: -you still need some authentication mechanism between gnupgd and applications, and this must somehow be fairly secure. I believe ssh2 relies on process parent/child relationships to do authorization/authentication and I don't see this as reliable. --Chris PGP signature
default save folder
Hi all, Just something I did not find in the manual (may be too tired tonight) I used to have mbox-hooks in my .muttrc for mailing lists, and it worked perfectly. But I stopped to use it, because if I want to follow a thread, I dont want undeleted messages to be saved in an archive folder immediately (and automagically), in order to wait for other related messages. Once I consider the given thread is complete (for me at least), I want to save one or more messages. So far, so good. Of course, each time I press 's', I have to give the name of the folder I want to save to. So my question is : is there a way to give (in a folder-hook may be) a default name for the archive folder ? This might not be the Right Way (tm) to read and follow ml messages... Just tell me... BTW, I know I could do this with a macro, just curious about another (and easier) way Thanks -- JcB, Jean-Charles Bagneris, Montpellier, France

How to resend a mail?
Hello all, I am wondering how to resend a mail to another person? Here is my situation: I send a mail to someone, and the sent mail is stored in the directory which $record designates. Now I want to send the same mail to another person, can i do it with command options of mutt, without interactively invoking mutt. I have tried doing it with the following tricks: At first i run mutt interactively, compose the mail, and postpone the mail. I find the mail in the file "$postponed". When i enter "mutt -p", mutt will ask me several questions and display the postponed on screen. How can i let mutt send it immediately? -- Best regards, Song mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
