Day-By-Day work with GnuPG
Hi, maybe it is not a question for Mutt but because I mostly use gpg with Mutt it fits the on-topic-rules. How can I automatically clean up my pubring? Let's say, a key has expired. Mutt/Gpg uses still the key in the pubring. I have to go and remove the key to fetch a new one. This is just an example. My question therefor is whether a solution for keeping the keyring up-to-date already exist? Kai. -- mail | [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp: [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq: 102024972 | http://www.glorybox.de/

You need to roll your own. Attached, you'll find my script. Fell free to use
and modify it, but be aware of possible pitfalls. It Works For Me, but there
are no warranties it will work for you.

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I've written a
short perl script called 'uk' (update-key(s)) which might help you out
a little.
uk user/adress match, like:
[huber@majere:~]-$ uk huber

***
Updating the listed keys from pgp.ai.mit.edu
***
gpg: requesting key 6B21489A from pgp.ai.mit.edu ...
gpg: key 6B21489A: not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1
if you don't enter a pattern to match, all the keys in your keyring
will be updated.
Then, I've got fk (find key), which could use some work:
#!/bin/sh
lynx -dump "http://pgp.ai.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=indexsearch=$1"
| grep ^pub | perl -e 'while() { m/.*\](.*?) \S+ (.*)/; print $1,
", ", $2, "\n"; }'
example:
[huber@majere:~/bin]-$ fk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
6B21489A, Josh Huber
uk is attached.

Mutt1.2.5/IMAP/Kerberos 5 on Debian 2.2?
Hello, Anybody got the Subject working? I've been very happily using Mutt/IMAP/Kerberos 5 w/o passwords on my Linux box at work (RedHat 6.2) - thanks Brendan. I tried the same on my home box with Debian 2.2 and I ran into trouble. First, I did not see any Kerberos 5 in Debian, so I compiled from sources, including the shared libraries. But I still can't make mutt authenticate. My mutt is configured with +USE_GSS but I have no idea what I should provide and how. Thanks, Petr
New mail notification
Dear all... I have this entry in my .muttrc: mailboxes ! =dsniff ="@freebsd.org" ="@mutt.org" ="pau-mikro" \ ="@postfix.org" ="@redhat.com" "@securityfocus.com" "libwww" "vpopmail" Unfortunately not all mailboxes notify me when new mail arrives. Only the first 7!?! Is there some limitation of the mailboxes sum? Or is there something I must tweak? FYI using Mutt 1.2.5i Thanks... /john

you might want to do something like this then: mailboxes `for file in ~/mail/*; do echo -n "+$(basename $file) "; done` works for me. Jeff

Hi, I've been wanting to ask, why would "Nelson D. Guerrero" turn to "Nelson D . Guerrero" on my mutt? I set it up in the .muttrc file to be "Nelson D.

Something complex that I'm not sure mutt can handle.
There's something I'd like to do within mutt, but it's complex and I'm not sure if mutt can handle it. I'm currently using gnus to accomplish this complex task, and although it works, I'd like to switch to mutt if at all possible. In order to explain what I want to do, I have to first give some background: I manage a server machine that is connected to the backbone by a very fast link. On this machine I receive a large number of items that I archive, and which I want to be able to review from my machine at home, which is behind a much slower PPP data link. The items I receive consist of data in many different formats: text, word-processor documents, images, executables, etc. And many of these items are rather large. I've written some software which runs on my server and automatically organizes all these received items, and every time something new comes in, this software running on my server generates a short email message describing the item, and it sends this email to me at my machine at home. Each email also contains the file name on the server where the item resides. What I am able to do at home (within gnus) is ... -- Mark each email message with a tag specifying whether I want to delete the associated remote file or download it to my local machine (no tag means that I just keep it on the server). -- Invoke a command that causes the list of files associated with the tagged messages to be processed via an FTP session (controlled by a Perl ftp-client object) where all these files are either downloaded to my local machine or deleted off the server, depending on the way they've been marked. -- This FTP process runs in the background so that I can continue to read other messages in that folder or other folders. -- This background process also invokes a Perl IMAP module to mark each email message as Deleted for each associated file that has been deleted on the server. -- When the background process finishes processing all its files, it issues an IMAP Purge command to remove the emails for the files that were deleted. Given that I already have written and have been using the Perl script that runs in the background and performs the FTP actions and manages the Delete and Purge IMAP commands, is it possible to configure mutt to do the email-client portion of this process? ... i.e., -- Mark a group of messages as deleteable or downloadable. -- Invoke an external command that runs in a separate process, passing it the list of IMAP message ID's or UID's of the tagged messages, and an indicator as to whether the remote file associated with each message should be downloaded or deleted. -- Allow me to interact with mutt while all this is running. -- Re-draw the mutt screen periodically as the external process runs and performs the Delete and Purge IMAP statements, so I can see the messages disappearing as their remote files get deleted. Is this just too much complexity for mutt, or do you folks think that this is possible? Thanks in advance. -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP signature
