Re: decrypting using gpg
On Thu, Jul 20, 2000 at 01:55:32PM -0400, Bennett Todd wrote: What's happening is that the message you're receiving doesn't have the MIME headers that mutt needs to be able to notice that it's encrypted. There are recipes in PGP-Notes.txt for procmail and maildrop, which recognize the old-style PGP messages and add MIME headers, but neither procmail nor maildrop is a MIME processing tool, and so the recipes take a very simple approach: they make sure the message isn't already a multipart of any sort. This message is a multipart, you indicated that you're seeing this as attachment #3, which means that those recipes can't help you. I am using the recipe from the gnupg faq and thank you for explaining why it doesn't work in all cases. The upshot is that you have only a couple of choices. You can do a smarter recipe, using a tool that includes a full MIME parser, to adjust the MIME types properly even for parts of existing multiparts. I've no clue how to pursue that one. Too rich for me, I'm afraid. Or you can just live with it, and manually pipe the offending sections through gpg and then into a pager. Or you can save 'em out into external files, gpg 'em, and few the results. You might be able This is what I have been doing. I happened to be a message I had cc'd to myself, which surprised me because the headers should have been correct. It was the multipart which was the problem, from what you say. I have since sent tests to myself and had it work properly. to simplify these things with macros, but I don't know any way of telling mutt to peek into the body and Do The Right Thing completely automatically; that'd require changes to the source. I haven't heard of anybody pursuing those changes, and since mutt is continuing to try to change the world on this point, by adamantly (or perhaps even "stridently") insisting on supporting nothing but RFC 2015 PGP/MIME and demanding that the rest of the world follow suit, I wouldn't expect patches like that to be written by anybody who is following mutt's party line, nor would they be accepted into the main line of mutt. -Bennett Thanks.

You have that. There's an "edit-from" function, by default bound to esc-f. You're of course free to re-bind that to anything you want. It may also be possible to push esc-f into Mutt's keyboard buffer when sending new mail or replying, so that you automatically get into the "edit from" prompt after you exit the editor (unfortunately, not before -- although that too might be possible with some scripting magic, playing around with your $editor, and such...) You may also want to look at $edit_headers, which lets you edit your message headers together with the body. That way editing your From header becomes very easy. Alternatively, you could also create different macros. Something like: macro index m ":my_hdr From: Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED]entermail" macro index M ":my_hdr From: Bob Bell [EMAIL PROTECTED]entermail" You'd also want to look into defining equivalent macros for other places, or turn to a two key-stroke method: one to set the address, another for the task. -- Bob BellCompaq Computer Corporation Software Engineer 110 Spit Brook Rd - ZKO3-3/U14 TruCluster GroupNashua, NH 03062-2698 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 603-884-0595

Questions not covered at www.mutt.org
Hi, I'm new to mutt but I am lead to believe it's one of the most powerfull mail clients around. My system is standard Redhat 6.2 with very few customisations. There are a couple of things that don't seem to be working and some features I don't understand. Any help or pointers appreciated as I am hoping to give mutt some _real_ heavy use. :) * Color does not work - I have tried all the suggestions in the FAQ. * The 'screenshots' at http://www.mutt.org show an X enhanced menu but I can't figure out how to get that to work. * How (or where) does mutt save my 'sent mail'. I really thing that I must be missing some important piece of documentation which helps new users get oriented with mutt's philosophy. Thanks Rob Watkin
