Ralf and I exchanged some more email and finally settled on :0 * ^Delivered-To: copymail\+\/[^@]* /copymail/Maildir/$MATCH/ as he cannot use the From: header.

Re: Mailcap entry for inline BMP?
If you use cygwin, take a look at my .mailcap entry below: application/vnd.ms-excel; //N/PROGS/OFFICE97/Office/excel.exe `cygpath --windows %s`; copiousoutput application/zip;cp %s . text/html; "//C/Program\ Files/Netscape/Communicator/Program/netscape.exe" `cygpath --windows %s` Just add a new line starting with "application/vnd.ms-xxx" in place of text/html. Hope that helps.

too many messages saturates slow link
hi, when i connect via a slow link to my box, i get this when i type mutt: Reading /var/spool/mail/me... 1869 (33%) this saturates my modem line for a little while. because (it seems) there is a lot of redraws printing the message count (one line per message?). is there some way to turn it off or just make it show the XX% part (assuming it is not printed at every message)? thanks, -c
Mutt with vvv-nntp-patch
Hi to all... I have to debian mashines, one with potato as router an one as my workstation with woody. On woody, I have a selfcompiled mutt 1.3.15i with several vvv- Patches including the nntp-patch. I installed leafnode on my router an I am able to read news with. It works fine. But I'm not able to post messages, I tried it serveral time, an I got only an message as this: <<<<<<< This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. The following address(es) failed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: unknown local-part "de.comp.os.unix.sinix" in domain "billgotchy.de" <<<<<<< My MTA is exim 3.12. Where is the error, where I have to look for?

/etc/hosts and mutt
What are the ramifications on mutt & sendmail if I edit /etc/hosts? It currently is: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain If I were to change it to: 127.0.0.1 bozo clown.circus What will it mess up, make better, cause me to change? Regards, Dave

I think you should be looking hostname(1) to set your machine name or changing the relevent documentation entries for mutt and/or sendmail.

Thanks, glad that I asked, but confused. More reading for me I guess. Dave

That's because mutt has to read the contents of your mbox format mailbox. Switch to (say) maildir. Much faster (and better, if you handle large amounts of mail). You'd have to suggest this to your provider, if you dont run your own server. -s (or pop the mails down with fetchmail and run maildir locally) -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin

You can use a "reserved" IP, e.g., 10.0.0.1 bozo.clown.circus bozo -- -duke Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Much faster (and better, if you handle large amounts > of mail). I get a lot of mail, and don't need to use maildir for performance reasons. Mbox works fine. Changing to maildir won't solve this problem, either, unless for some odd reason maildir switches out the progress report. What you probably want is to set the read_inc variable, or to make it larger than it is already. $read_inc indicates how often to update the status report line whlie reading a mailbox. For example, setting it to 50 makes the status line update every 50 messages, instead of with each message. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

Have you tried setting $read_inc and $write_inc to greater values? Perhaps that would help. -- Linux: The Choice of the GNU Generation

Integrating abook and mutt
Hey All, I wrote a perl script that allows you to add aliases to the mutt alias file and an abook addressbook at the same time. You just bind the script to "a" and use as normal. When you have finished with the mutt aliases it will ask you if you want to save the address to abook, if you do it will then prompt you for telephone numbers etc. for the person. If you think this is useful, it is available at: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~brianf/Setup/abookadd.pl.txt Enjoy, Brian. -- Brian Foley -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- www.maths.tcd.ie/~brianf Visit the Intervarsity Track & Field web-site: www.iv2001.com
