Send-hook not setting from properly
To test a problem, I made a .muttrc with only these two lines from my usual configuration: send-hook . 'set from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; set realname="Daniel J Peng"' send-hook '~C @gecko.serc\.rmit\.edu\.au' 'set from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ; set realname="Razl"' This should, when I reply to mail form a mailing list at gecko.serc.rmit.edu.au , set the From: header to Razl [EMAIL PROTECTED], right? When I reply to the attached message, though, Mutt sets the From: header to Razl [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The odd thing is, if I cancel that message and try it again, Mutt works as I want it to and sets the From: header to Razl [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Is this a bug?

The maildir folder format used by QMail doesn't require locking to operate safely though. So if GNUS supports maildir, you can probably use it with mutt safely if you use maildir folders. -- Cory T.

As root? Do you have to run cyrus on the IMAP server or on the

Right now, I could do it manually. Use 'l' with pattern

and save them to '{username@imapsever}root'.

new mail in folder overview
Hi all, First thanks to all for suggesting me procmail recipes for the problem I had a few days ago with my double mail, but I use maildrop so I just took 15 minutes and went through it by hand :-) Anyway, my question of the day is if there is a better way to detect new mail in the folder view. According to the manual new mail is detected by checking the access time of the folder, but I also have a mailchecker applet running so this is not good. I would also like to detect not only new mail, but also 'old' new mail (marked with O instead of N). This doesn't seem to be possible by using %N in the folder_format. I use Maildir to store my mail in. Would there be a way to use an external program to check for new mail? I could write my own script to go through all 'new' directories. Thanks. cheers, roel

The description in the manual even says: ** When set, this variable contains a default from address. It ** can be overridden using my_hdr (including from send-hooks) and ** ``$$reverse_name''. This timing is its only reason it exists (in 1.0 my_hdr was the only way to change the From: header). Remember that it's documented as being the *default* from address, it's not really meant to be changed all the time. Also, why should Mutt not set 'realname' and 'from' at the same time? I don't know. Possibly because having the real name portion available to send-hooks isn't as usefull as having the address portion available. And, at least if $reverse_realname variable is not set the realname portion of the From: header needs to be done after $reverse_name is applied anyway, so it might as well be after the send-hooks as well. If you want to select a From: header from send-hooks you need to use 'my_hdr From:'. Will envelope_from set the envelope if I do this? Yes.
