printf format
When examing first all those config possibilities I fell over some format which I could not understand. It is not important for survival but I just like to understand everything, so if someone could light my brain it would be great. For example: the index format uses %-15.15L And I found out that these 15.15 is working like the C printf. So I tried to find some info which explains what C printf is. The only thing I found was some complicated mathematics about this being a format of telling how a printer is going to bring that to paper when digging somewhere in the groff pages. But this may not be related. I am using a standard 25x80 console screen and tried some other values just to check whether I see something to make a rule of, but nothing. So, how does value1.value2 affect the format? And what does the - sign do? -- Erika

Except for n conver- sions, the converted value is padded on the right with blanks, rather than on the left with blanks or zeros. A `-' overrides a `0' if both are given. [...] o An optional decimal digit string specifying a minimum field width. If the converted value has fewer characters than the field width, it will be padded with spaces on the left (or right, if the left-adjust- ment flag has been given) to fill out the field width. o An optional precision, in the form of a period `.' followed by an op- tional digit string. If the digit string is omitted, the precision is taken as zero. This gives the minimum number of digits to appear for d, i, o, u, x, and X conversions, the number of digits to appear after the decimal-point for e, E, and f conversions, the maximum num- ber of significant digits for g and G conversions, or the maximum number of characters to be printed from a string for s conversions.
Revisiting Mutt, Debian, Ncurses, Eterm .....
I have Debian Sid. Eterm Ncurses Mutt I have no colors for my Eterm and it should be Transparent with the option flags I am using. If I start a Eterm up and type mutt, it jumps to a black index, however when editing, it is transparent. And that would make sense, being in VI at that point.

Any ideas why I would be experiencing this? It doesn't show up in the compile options, but mutt should be configured to call 'use_default_colors()' - you can verify that with 'nm' on mutt. If it's configured properly, then the color scheme in .muttrc is the place to look (if it uses default in the background rather than black). -- Thomas E.

new mail in mailboxes
i have procmail set up to deliver incoming into several mailboxes (mbox format) and i have them defined in my .muttrc using the mailboxes command. the problem is that mutt(1.2.5i) doesn't inform me that there is new mail in some of the mailboxes, specifically these mailboxes are at the end of the listing in the mailboxes command. i thought that having a number of them on the same line in the mailboxes might be causing the problem, but splitting them over two commands didn't work. any ideas/suggestions ??? thanks, sridhar -- Sridhar Srinivasan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I'm out of my mind right now, but feel free to leave a message. - Slashdot .sig
Re: new mail in mailboxes
Sridhar Srinivasan proclaimed on mutt-users that: the problem is that mutt(1.2.5i) doesn't inform me that there is new mail in some of the mailboxes, specifically these mailboxes are at the end of the listing in the mailboxes command. Can't duplicate that - tab should cycle between everything. Then, use something like set folder=~/Mail # where i keep my mailboxes set noconfirmappend # don't ask me if i want to append to mailboxes set write_inc=25# show progress while writing mailboxes mailboxes `echo $HOME/Mail/*` -s -- Suresh Ramasubramanian + Wallopus Malletus Indigenensis mallet @ cluestick.org + Lumber Cartel of India, tinlcI EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin
