Selecting headers to delete on pop3 server
Hello, The URL: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue62/okopnik.html is an article on how to filter spam. Among other things, it also discusses how to manipulate mail filtering from within mutt. I was targeting the pop3 server, while the author explains how to change procmail recipes within mutt, but it is basically the same problem, and infact he gives the same solution proposed by Aaron. One note: the article puts single quotes around the mutt macros, while Aaron specified double quotes. Any comment about this? Does it depend from the mutt version? As noted before, I won't have time to play with my home box before the weekend, but I'll post every script I'll be able to put together. Ciao, Marco Fioretti
multipart application/pgp
Hi! I often get emails with several pgp encrypted attachments. The "Content-Type" in the header of the message is "multipart/", so mutt does not recongnize the pgp encryption. Procmail can change this "multipart/" content type to "application/pgp". Now mutt can decrypt the whole msg and show it in the pager. This works fine, as long as there are only ASCII attachments encrypted. But when there are e.g. tar, gz attachments or images, I run into problems. Nice would be, if mutt could recognize the multipart and the encryption. Then the normal attachment browser could be used to read or save the attachments separately. What do you think about this? Regards, Daniel.

Any comment about this? The macros I suggested would take care of everything automatically (unless $wait_key is set). For this to work "\n" needs to get expanded to a line-feed; this happens inside of double quotes but not single quotes. The macros in the above article require the user to manually hit the enter key to perform the action. Because of this they don't contain "\n", so the expansion doesn't depend on the type of quotes used. Does it depend from the mutt version? It shouldn't for anything even somewhat recent. Ancient versions (quite a bit before 1.0) had somewhat different quoting rules, so might behave differently (although I don't think the differences should matter for a simple case like this). -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~aarons/ Real Users never use the Help key.
Mutt with NNTP-Patch
Hello Muttusers, Is here anybody using the NNTP-Patch from Volkov? I can't post any news, because I think inews (perlscript) is not working. Every message I want to post goes to ~/deadarticle. What to do? Have anyone experience with NNTP and Mutt. Debian 2.2, cnews inews installed. -- MfG Waldemar Brodkorb Linux rulez !

Q:...for those of you who use maildir...would you ever have
subdirectories in $HOME/Mail?
Joe,
I use procmail to populate my maildirs and so am not as limited certain
IMAP users. I do have subdirectories under $HOME/Mail
I have:
$HOME/Mail/personal
which contains
inbox/
family/
netfriends/
...
$HOME/Mail/Mailing-lists/
which contains
mutt-dev/
mutt-users/
...
Most of the rest are right off $HOME/Mail
I have also made Mailing-lists a softlink to prevent find from wandering
into it unless I want to search there explicitly.
One of the benefits of maildir for me is that I use find and grep to build
a Search-Results/ folder to link all messages that match a regex in one
folder. This allows me to see the threading etc in the folder on all
messages that refer to the Astral project for instance.
find $HOME/Mail/ -type f -exec grep -l "regex" {} \; -exec ln {} \
$HOME/Mail/Search-Results/ \;

I set autoview to launch lynx to view HTML, and all of a sudden I am seeing a lot more emails as html. If email provides text/plain and text/html (which is often true of some mail agents), then it seems that once you have specified "autoview text/html" the html becomes the preferred attachment to look at. see section 5.5. :-- MIME Multipart/Alternative in help file `manual.txt' on "alternative_order". I just used the example as given there viz:- alternative_order text/enriched text/plain text/html application/postscript image And so text/plain is selected ahead of text/html... Ah. That did it. Thanks to all who replied. Btw, the autoview for html is a life saver. I can't believe I didn't set this sooner.

Re: index_format to show attachments?

So score your messages by Mutt pattern: ~h EXPR for messages which contain EXPR in the message header. Now i already use procmail to find attachments by looking at the header for 'Content-Type:.*multipart/mixed' which eliminates PGP and alternative attachments. So just let Mutt match a pattern in the header for Content-Type:? set for some attachment to score accordingly and show it with %N in the index. OK i am answering my own post. When i try the above, Mutt 1.2.5i says " ~h is not supported ". So here is how to get Mutt to cooperate and flag messsages with attachments by putting a message 'score' next to the status flags in the index: Mutt does support the pattern '~i ID' which matches the Message-ID: field. So since i already use procmail to find messages with attachments, i add another line to the procmail recipe, to replace the original Message-ID: | formail -i "Message-ID: attach". Now use Mutt message scoring, to score messages which match the pattern "Message-ID: attach". My .muttrc has: folder-hook . "score ' ~i attach' 2" Now add %N (message score) to the index_format, and the score 2 will appear in the index. I also edited my pager_format line by adding %i which is the message id, so that it displays "attach" in the pager status line. HTH OK, I have read this and the other message about using different header lines instead of ~h. BUT this begs the questions, why isn't ~h supported in this mode? And, WTH does in this mode imply. Limits work with ~h, why not scores? Now this is not crippling to me as I do use procmail BUT it is part of the functionality in mutt and not something that really should belong in procmail's realm. /Duncan -- Duncan Watson Application Engineer
sourcing aliases
Is it at all possible to resource my aliases file without restarting mutt? What info I could find on aliases and sourcing the file doesn't mention this specifically. Should I take it that the client must be restarted? dan

Just keep in mind that sourcing the alias file will only add new aliases. It won't unalias already created ones. (Though I suppose it should update changed aliases).

Hi Jim, How to veiw attachments of type .rtf in mutt?. I could modify the mut.octet.filter to do this but i am not sure what can view this sort of attachments. What OS are you using? You can take rtf2text or rtf2html, they come with an perl module "RTF-Parser" (AFAIK). Look at CPAN.
