macro stopped working

[Michael Hong]

Hi,

Does anyone know what's wrong with this macro? It was working in 1.2.5
but now the second time I press 'z' mutt says the key is not bound or
'macro loop detected'.

# toggle zoom 
macro pager z \
":set pager_index_lines=0\n:macro pager z Z \"toggle zoom\"\n"
  macro pager Z \
":set pager_index_lines=10\n:macro pager z z \"toggle zoom\"\n"
  macro pager z  z  "toggle zoom"


Thanks for any help.
Michael

I get quotes sent to me every day through a couple word-a-day lists, and
like to keep the ones that I like. Here's how I do it:

addquote.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use diagnostics;

# addquote.pl
# Mike Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

my $quotefile = '/home/mee/errata/quidquotes';

open(QUOTES,">>$quotefile") || die "Couldn't open $quotefile: $!";

undef $/;
my $quote = <>;

print QUOTES "%\n$quote";

close(QUOTES);

__END__

in my .vimrc I have 

vmap  !addquote.plq!

When I find a quote I like, I hit 'e' to edit the message, then go down,
V to visual-block select it, then hit ^G to add it to my fortune-file
(well, pre-strfile'd) list of quotes.

Then, I have a script to get a quote out of said list (if I don't feel
like going through fortune)

getquote.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use diagnostics;

my $line;

$/ = qq(%\n);
rand($.) < 1 && ($line = $_) while <>;
print substr($line,0, length($line) -2);

__END__

yes, I know it's a nasty, dirty hack of a script, but it works!!

I'll attach them to save anyone the trouble of cutting and pasting.

Yes, but not with the default build.  If you are using Mandrake or 
RH6.2, you can get rpms of the vvv patch build here:
http://acadia.ne.mediaone.net/mutt/

Otherwise, follow the link from the mutt page for the Volkov patches.  
Scratch that.  The link: http://mutt.kiev.ua/ redirects to this:
http://mutt.org.ua/download/
You can get the latest stable or development and anything in between.

I am using 1.3.19 (little on the adventurous side, but no problems).

It is pretty slick though.  Get to know server-hooks.

I also suggest just taking all his patches for your build, and no 
others.  He has the basics integrated, and leaving anything out turns 
into a headache.

MS Exchange and Outlook related issues

[Chris Fuchs]

Hello,

I work in an MS environment and wonder if there is a document
of tips, hints, etc for mutt users having to send to either
MS exchange or outlook?  I've looked in the archives without
much luck.

Some of the idiosyncracies are having to use "^\n\n$" instead of
"^\n$" for MS exchange to realize you're starting a new paragraph.
A ">" seems to indent.  Exchange seems to encourage having
paragraphs as long strings terminated by an "\n" which either
my sendmail or procmail settings (more likely) is chopping up. Etc.

How do mutt users deal with this?  Is there some sort of script
that people use to post-process and/or pre-process?

Any advice from people that have been there?

Chris

Thanks, I've made the change... although the whitespace problem
remains.  This means processing the quotes upfront which I don't
have a problem with.  And yes I do care about efficiency.

On the same theme... slurping in the entire fortune file might
irk me if I revive a much slower machine I've got which is
why I originally wanted to save the fortunes to a tied structure.
I haven't had time to delve into this.

Have you considered Maildir format?  It was designed specifically
to compensate for the limitations of mbox format, specifically
locking and speed.  Take a look at
http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html for some info.

>From this document:

  Why should I use maildir?

  Two words: no locks. An MUA can read and delete messages while
  new mail is being delivered: each message is stored in a separate
  file with a unique name, so it isn't affected by operations on
  other messages. An MUA doesn't have to worry about partially
  delivered mail: each message is safely written to disk in the tmp
  subdirectory before it is moved to new. The maildir format is
  reliable even over NFS.

vfolders

[Jonathan Miller]

I've recently become unhappy with the way that my email is
sorted/stored/whatever, and I've been looking into more advanced ways
of handling it as opposed to a big text file. I really love the concept
of vfolders, which are basically SQL statements that create "folders"
out of a bunch of mail in a database. Unfortunately all the email
clients that use this kind of technology are X based, and I need a
console client.

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has toyed with the idea of patching
mutt to use vfolders or anything similar.

Or alternatively anyone know of an IMAP server that would work like
this?

Yes I've been meaning to rewrite it but in the context of
the original posted script, this is what I meant:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

my $fortfile = $ARGV[0];
my $fortunes = $ARGV[1];

my $fortune;

my @f = do {
local *F;
local $/ = "\n\n";
open F, $fortunes or die $!;
;
};

chomp($fortune = $f[rand @f]);

my $g = do {
local *G;
undef $/;
open G, $fortfile or die $!;
;
};

$g=~s/%QUOTE%/$fortune/; 
print $g;

# END

This of course assumes that there is no whitespace between
each quote.  I've not figured out how to change $/ to deal
with spaces between quotes - any help is greatly appreciated.

Since we are on the subject and not having given much thought
... (and yes this probably should be another post) ... I've
often come across neat quotes which I'd like to extract, should
I be using a filter to do this and if so has anyone come out
with anything robust enough to handle most the situations that
I'd be likely to see?

I recently reinstalled some bits and bobs, and was getting this error too.
Although mutt was 'slightly less than helpful' in the matter, it turned out that mutt 
couldn't find sendmail.

If it's not in your PATH, you might want to specify it in your .muttrc:

  set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi"

I think.

Beats me, I get the same thing.

if I hit c I get a listing of a single mailbox (the next w/ new
messages, then it goes into the cycle you describe above. c? puts
me directly in that cycle.

maybe this is a 1.3 thing?

Well, that did the trick.  The only thing I don't like about 1.3.19/CVS
is what I think is IMAP-specific behavior.  Two things:

1.  Since 1.3.18, the behavior of 'c' seems to have changed.  Say more
than one folder has new mail.  When I hit 'c', I'm presented with the
name of one of them.  I can hit 'space' to toggle through all folders
with new mail, and then 'enter' to select.  However, in old versions
(<=1.3.18), I could also hit 'tab' and go to the mailbox view.  This
doesn't work anymore, 'tab' just doesn't do anything.  I have to go to
all of the folders with new mail before I can go to any of the other
folders.  

2.  The mailbox view toggles between two views as before, the
filesystem/IMAP folder browser and the mailbox (i.e. those that are
watched for mail) browser.  In the mailbox browser, since 1.3.19,
'imaps://' was added to the beginning of the folder name (since I use
IMAPS) and this pushes some folder names too far to the left.  In fact,
I have a bunch of folders that start like
'imaps://{mail.server.com}INBOX.Lists...' and on these, I can only see
the first letter of the word after 'Lists.' since they're over so far.
Not good for 10+ 'Lists.' folders :-)

Anyway, these are the things that had previously been keeping me at
1.3.18.

This is too much work. Try this:

my $fortunes = "$ENV{HOME}/.randsig";
my $fortfile = "$ENV{HOME}/.sig"
my $fortune;

Personally, I've never seen any need to leave much unedited quoting at
the top of a message. But maybe I just hang around in the wrong circles?

OK, I press it twice and get...

List of all folders and files in Mail directory

List of all mailboxes listed with "mailboxes"

List of all folders and files in Mail directory

What should I be getting?
