Anyone has a good mailcap RunningX test?
Hi! from my mailcap: text/html; netscape %s; test=RunningX text/html; lynx %s text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput Where can i find a decent RunningX script? What i want is to run netscape only when i run mutt locally on my pc at home within the window manager. However when i am at work and telnet to my house and start mutt from there i don't want it to start netscape but lynx or w3m. Testing only $DISPLAY isn't good enough cause when i telnet to house it's still set to :0. And also X is found to be a running process because at home i only locked my screen. So i am looking for a way to test if i am running mutt really locally. Who has the ultimate test to do this? Thanks, jan -- ___ ___ ___ / // // / Jan H.

The Date: header
I have a question regarding the date and time displayed in the Date: header of e-mails. Is the time displayed there according to the senders timezone or my timezone? Say I get an e-mail with this header: Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 06:29:24 -0700 (PDT) Has this mail been sent at 06:29 my time, or is it the senders (PDT) time? Or to put it another way, does this mean that it was sent at 06:29 my time, and that I should substract 7 hours to get the time in the senders timezone (PDT)? -- // André

If you feed it an option it says "yes" or "no" dependent upon if it would return 0 or 1. Regretfully it doesnt work. I tested it from another computer (windows box). From that box i log into my linux server (which happens to have X running) and when i run RunningX, it answers "yes". So thats wrong. Since i am not sitting at that computer it should answer "no". Because now when i run mutt and view an url it starts netscape on the server where i am not sitting an which i can not see! It should start lynx instead in the window i am sitting at at the other computer. Only thing that works is manually unsetting $DISPLAY. Are there other solutions??

Configuring Mutt Dialup Modem Connection ?
Hello all! I'm new to the Mutt users list. And I have some configuration questions about Mutt for use with the Vim editor to compose messages, then send them off using with sendmail over a dial up network connection. I have the /etc/Muttrc configuration working ok for use with pop mail server and it retreives then just fine. But composing a message with Vim creates an error bouncing messages due to incorrect date and localhost error that doesn't exist over the modem connection. I am using Linux S.u.S.E 6.4. I'm some what familiar with the /etc/Muttrc file. I have the Mutt configuration files from http://www.dotfile.com . The Muttrc are excellant. Most of them work with some fine tuning on my system.

Re: Anyone has a good mailcap RunningX test?
Never mind my stupid question. I just found a line DISPLAY=:0.0 in my /etc/zshenv file which always (so also at a telnet session) sets the DISPLAY variable, which caused netscape to start instead of lynx or w3m when, from mutt, i visited an url in a telnet window. I appologize and close this thread. btw mutt is a wonderful program! I even use it at work now. thanks, jan -- ___ ___ ___ / // // / Jan H.

Why do you have it defined anyway (in that telnet session) if you're not doing stuff from inside an X environment? I'd look into fixing whatever is setting that environment variable for your telnet session... Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

Problems with PMMail OS/2 and pgp encrytped mails
Hi! I have a problem sending gpg encrpyted mail to my pal who's using PMMail OS/2 and PGP-5.x. He had a correspondence with the author of PMMail and that's what came out: Comments? --- snip --- On Thu, 03 Aug 2000 18:08:48 +0200 (MSZ), Florian Piekert wrote: >When I go into the pmmail inbox of my account and manually pgp v the >message, I get it decoded ok.

OK, so we know that GnuPG and PGP 5 can cooperate. >>message to know for sure but I think PMMail/2 might be having >>problems with "Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted" or possibly >>with the way the message is MIME encoded. > >I guess that is the problem somehow. Yes, this is the problem. The message you are receiving has its body broken into sections (separated by "--Eldrgvv4EWsIM1sO"). Only sections identified as "Content-Type: text/plain" or "Content-Type: text/html" or "Content-Type: text" are displayed in the message read window of PMMail/2. All other Content-Types are displayed as attachments. If your correspondents' email client insists on encoding and sending PGP encrypted text as "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" then PMMail/2 will not be able to display and automatically decrypt it. PGP encryptd text is just plain text so there is no reason why this person's email client should send it as "Content-Type: application/octet-stream". >Oh, as far as I see it is not possible.
