Re: Bug in mutt 1.0.1i: ^C can freeze login session

I just tried to reproduce this with mutt 1.1.11i under Linux. ^C leads to the 'Exit Mutt? ([y]/n)' prompt, it doesn't freeze. The only odd think that occurs is that when pressing 'y' to exit the string 'yes' gets printed on a shell prompt, without any disturbing effect. I found it really easy to completely freeze my login session by using ^C to cancel out of adding an Fcc: or a Cc: value using the f or c commands while composing a message. I know now the FAQ suggests using ^G, but ^C was the obvious choice to me as a Unix person. I could imagine alot of people might get screwed up this way. Well, in fact under Unix there is no standard for keyboard shortcuts. Think of how programs use ALT vs. CTRL. With mutt it's kind of logical to quit after ^C because that's what I would expect to happen. Many known programs use ^G to escape out of a function, so I'm quite happy with it.

Re: view URLs via shell account

Hello, Joe Rice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Wed, 26 Apr 2000: Could someone tell me why mutt strips an URL from the body of my out-going email? It only happens when the line starts with the URL. It's very unlikely that Mutt does this, given that it doesn't really touch the message body text in an email that it gets from an editor, except for the possible encoding changes. I've also never heard of anyone else report something like this. Can you give us more details please? What actions do you do exactly? Can you give us an example forwarded email perhaps with the URL missing? What other programs are used to deliver the email? Can you track down the message at the various stages and see at which point the URL disappears? For Mutt debugging, you can set the $sendmail variable to a script that looks something like this: #!/bin/sh echo "$*" /tmp/mutt.msg.$$ cat /tmp/mutt.msg.$$ ... and then you just need to look at the /tmp/mutt.msg.* files to see exactly what kind of message Mutt is sending out and with which command line arguments. If the URL is intact there, then it's not Mutt's fault for sure. Regards, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

mutt and Courier IMAP
I have mutt working reasonably well with Courier IMAP, mostly thanks
to a lot of help from Sam the writer of Couier IMAP.
The two basic things you need to know to get it all working sensibly
are:-
1 - Courier IMAP puts all sub-folders *in* the INBOX folder, thus if I
have told Courier IMAP that my INBOX is $HOME/Mail/inbox (inbox
being a maildir) then all new maildir folders and mailboxes that
Courier IMAP creates are created hierarchically in inbox and
below. In addition Courier IMAP identifies its own folders by
creating them as hidden directories with a '.' prefix though of
course they appear without this '.' to a remote IMAP client.
A local mutt client can't see thse maildirs of course though it can
acess them if you know their names and enter the full name with the
'.' prefix.
2 - To create new folders and mailbooxes remotely using mutt the he
syntax when you issue an 'N' command (when saving a message for
example) is {x-1.net}INBOX.folder.subfolder. Since mutt prompts
with {x-1.net}/ you have to delete the / first, but I'm pretty
happy that it works at all.

Is there any ways of launching mutt and telling me in which mailbox a new mail has arrived. thanx in advance 3.11 Defining mailboxes which receive mail Usage: mailboxes [!]filename [ filename ... ] This command specifies folders which can receive mail and which will be checked for new messages. By default, the main menu status bar displays how many of these folders have new messages. When changing folders, pressing space will cycle through folders with new mail. Pressing TAB in the directory browser will bring up a menu showing the files specified by the mailboxes command, and indicate which contain new messages. Mutt will automatically enter this mode when invoked from the command line with the -y option. Note: new mail is detected by comparing the last modification time to the last access time. Utilities like biff or frm or any other program which accesses the mailbox might cause Mutt to never detect new mail for that mailbox if they do not properly reset the access time. Backup tools are another common reason for updated access times. Note: the filenames in the mailboxes command are resolved when the command is executed, so if these names contain ``shortcut characters'' (such as ``='' and ``!''), any variable definition that affect these characters (like ``$folder'' and ``$spool'') should be executed before the mailboxes command. from manual.txt mutt version 1.1.12 -- Keso don't worry about glory

It is in the path. But when pressing ctrl-T the screen flickers and that's it.

Oh, and saving the Message to a separate folder and piping it to mailhops by hand does work fine.

Command Line Options
Hi! I am using Cyrus IMAP server and sendmail in Linux. I am looking for a mail client which will be started by CGI (which might be a very small shell script). When this CGI is started by the www server, it will collect the text from the html form and send it as a mail message through this mail client like this: mutt -s $SUBJECT -c $CC [EMAIL PROTECTED] $MESSAGEBYDY or sendmail -t -oi -f $THEBROWSER $MESSAGE My problems are: (1) Mutt does not provide command line option to specify/override "FROM:". (2) Sendmail is not a good idea, either. When $MESSAGE contains multi-byte characters - either only part of the message body or a complete messed up message body, is received. (3) The receipient gets unreadable Subject like: Subject: Fwd: Fw: XXXYXVXXXK,EQXVXCXX. most of the time when the origional Subject: contains multi-byte characters. Do I have any alternatives for mail client? How do I fix the messed up Subject: problem? Thanks! -- CN
drafting mutt filtering faq entry
Hi, folks -- I'm [finally!] drafting up a mutt FAQ entry on filtering incoming email to answer all of those "how do I get mutt to move my mail for me?" questions. So far, I have found mention of procmail maildrop mailfilter sieve exim though I don't yet have (because I haven't yet looked) a URL for exim (and I know it's an MTA) and also of elm's filter (though I know it can lose mail and such). I'm trying to learn more about what an IMAP-only user would do; it seems that none of these will work without shell access on the IMAP server, so we're back to mutt doing the filtering. Now, is mbox-hook what I want? The typical user is going to have all of his email dumped right into $MAIL and then want mutt to move Linux stuff here and mutt stuff there and cron jobs elsewhere, and I don't know that mbox-hook gives me that. Maybe save-hook instead? TIA for any input you can provide, particularly for the last case. Did anyone ever write that IMAP filtering tool mentioned a few months back? :-) :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
