move messages (not copy)
Hi. I've recently switched to mutt (1.1.14), and there is some stuff I haven't been able to work out yet. Mainly, I want to know if there is a command to move messages from a mailbox to another, rather than copy them. I haven't seen it in the manual or help pages. Something else I want to do is filter out some messages from my inbox, so they are not seen. It's actually the "Mail System Internal Data" pseudo-message which sendmail (I guess) leaves on my spool folder; I'm sure other people have come across this. I've tried folder-hook /var/spool/mail/my-inbox set "l!~f 'Mail System Internal Data'\n" but I get an "unknown command" error. TIA -- Ivan Fernández [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Autoview/HTML problem
Hi. I'm having a problem with autoview with Netscape. What I want to do is have mutt launch Netscape if not running, use as remote if already running. My .mailcap includes: text/html; netscape -remote 'openURL(%s)'; copiousoutput; My .muttrc includes: auto_view text/html If I have Netscape open, all works fine. However, when I add test=RunningNetscape at the end of the above .mailcap line, I get an error message and mutt dies. Similarly, if I add this line to follow the .mailcap line above -- text/html; netscape 'openURL(%s)'; copiousoutput -- I get an error message. I'd have thought this would have launched Netscape. I've tried to get this according to the manual, but so far, no luck. Your thoughts, please? Thanks. John

A variation on that would be to put all those vim commands into your .vimrc instead. Since mutt creates a file for replies in /tmp and since the name of that file begins with "mutt-", I have in my .vimrc: au BufNewFile,BufRead /tmp/mutt-* set expandtab so that tabs that I add are always expanded to spaces in my e-mail replies. You could do something similar with au BufNewFile,BufRead /tmp/mutt-* set tw=74 noai nocin fo=tcrq I haven't tried multiple settings like that, but from :help autocommand-pattern it looks like it should work. As for the commands themselves, I don't know why you would need to set "noai". I also have in my .vimrc file: au BufNewFile,BufRead *.c,*.h set cindent so that C indenting is set only for C source and header files. That would eliminate the need for "nocindent" here as well as when editing other text files. -- Gary Johnson | Agilent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] | RF Communications Product Generation Unit | Spokane, Washington, USA

Re: Forcing a rescan of folder
This might be on the way to tracking this down. New mail arrived while sending mail (between hitting "y" and regaining control of mutt). Mutt didn't catch new mail arriving, and couldn't be motivated to check the mailbox until more new mail arrived.

Not with mutt, but lynx used to fight with Midnight Commander this way on my system. The reason was an extra `&' in /usr/lib/mc/mc.ext that sent lynx into background unnecessarily (well, maybe that did work with gmc, but definitely not with mc in an xterm).

After you strike "m" to compose a message, you'll be at the "To:" prompt. When you are there, strike TAB, and all your aliases will be visible. You can then do "t" to tag any alias(es) (or just hit RETURN) and that/those alias(es) will then be in the "To: field of your soon-to-be-outgoing-message's header. This is pretty basic stuff -- it's all in the manual at mutt.org, which you should take a look at. -- // [EMAIL PROTECTED] //

Yes - I recently experienced the same problem. Mikko suggested to me that he had the same problem, and that it might be related to the folders sitting on an NFS filesystem - and that Mutt may have a bug working with NFS filesystems. He suggested getting the Mutt source and recompiling with the "--enable-nfs-fix" option. So I did the same thing, and it worked for me too. So, you might try getting the Mutt source, and recompiling with the "--enable-nfs-fix" option. Hope this helps. -- Hardy Merrill Mission Critical Linux, LLC http://www.missioncriticallinux.com

Okay, I did that and I can add aliases to the file. But how do I use it?

Re: New mail in MH style folders, even if there is none
christian, the only way i was able to "fix" this bug was to switch to maildir format folders. overall, it was the right thing to do (my mail store is nfs mounted to a few different machines, all putting mail in the mail store via procmail with maildir patch). pete On Sat, 06 May 2000, Christian Ordig wrote: > Hallo, > > I am using MH style folders to store my mail... > > I start mutt (1.1.11i) with the -y command line switch abd it shows me > my folders and every one is marked to have new Mail... > even if I've read all the mail in my folders and change back to the > folder overview mutt tells me there is new mail in the folders... > > Another scenario: > imagine 2 folders A and B... > I open A and read all my mails ... then open B ... when entering B mutt > tells me there arrived new mail in A, but it hasn't (I am offline!) > > Any ideas? > > Thank you. > > -- > Christian Ordig | Homepage: http://thor.prohosting.com/~chrordig/ > Germany |eMail: Christian Ordig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Pete Toscano h:[EMAIL PROTECTED]w:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: AE5C 18E4 D069 76D3 9B9C D226 D86A 522F 446C 767A PGP signature
Re: Why Maildir? (was Re: mailboxes lists)
basically, i use maildir because my mail store is nfs mounted and i receive mail from a few different machines, all processed through procmail with maildir patch. this was growing hair with my previous mh format directories. pete On Sat, 06 May 2000, Bennett Todd wrote: > 2000-05-06-07:48:49 Roberto Suarez Soto: > > Anyway, and though I know this is one of the recursive questions > > of the list, what are the advantages that you find in maildir over > > mailbox? > > It's a recurring question, no doubt, but revisiting it periodically > is healthy.

Aha, I'd forgotten about TAB (or maybe I never knew), I'll go and have
a play
You're right - one has to actually connect to the IMAP server (with,
for example 'c' '{x-1.net:50143}INBOX.' before the TAB will work.
Ah even more ha! *That's* how I got messed up before, no wonder I
couldn't repeat it.
There is a problem, once there one is stuck on the IMAP server and I
can't see a way to get back to browsing the local folders. Any 'c'
command given after having used TAB automatically prompts with
'{x-1.net:50143}INBOX!', the ! doesn't help either. If I do a 'c' and
then erase the '{x-1.net:50143}INBOX!' prompt and enter just '!' I get
'/postbox/chris is not a directory', quite right, it's my local inbox.
The only way I can get back to local folders is by entering one
explicitly - thus entering 'c' '/postbox' and selecting the 'chris'
mbox seems to unscramble things.

address book?
Is there a default address book for mutt? I saw a couple of address books for mutt on Freshmeat.net. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Kelly
