save to different folder
Hi , How can I set a different folder to save messages from the mutt mailing-list automatically when I quit. Is it possible ?? And if I want to save the messages sent from mutt-users@... to a different folder, I set it like this: save-hook mutt-users@ +mutt It does'nt work. Why it's good for linux@: save-hook linux@ +linux is OK.Why is that??? -- - Attila | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Szabo -

Re: Newsgroups - having trouble accessing mutt builds on acadia?
Sorry to the list admin for sending from the wrong folder :) Axe that message, here it is again: - Hey all. It looks like someone had trouble accessing the URI on acadia I gave in my last message. I don't know what the trouble is, but I promise it is there. Feel free to try again.

Lou On 07/12/01 08:18 PM, Louis LeBlanc sat at the `puter and typed: 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.

Refreshing screen in windoze!
Hi all, I am a new convert to mutt, and am generally very pleased with it. I have a mailserver running on my box at home, and I use putty from wherever I am to check my mail. However both my workplace and my girlfriend won't budge from using Windoze, so I use the windoze ssh client 'putty' from these machines. My problem is that unless I refresh my screen every now and again, it becomes a mess. Has anyone else any recommendations as to a Windoze ssh client that I could use? I am also convinced the problem has got worse since upgrading to Mutt 1.3.19i, but this may be my imagination! Thanks, Sean
Re: Refreshing screen in windoze!
Thus spake Sean Dempsey ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Has anyone else any recommendations as to a Windoze ssh client that I could use? I usually recommend PuTTY or SecureCRT (you can find it at www.vandyke.com). It's commericial, but it's very good. -Justin -- [ ] -- Justin R.

Re: Refreshing screen in windoze!
That depends on the configuration of the terminal answerback string in PuTTY, the terminal your server thinks you use and even the keyboard layout on the windows box (according to Mr. Tatham, who says that sverok (.se dvorak) won't work). I'd recommend you try the devel snapshot of PuTTY. I don't think PuTTY itself did anything wrong, it's likely to be related to the configuration clash that I suspect. Otherwise, SSH (www.ssh.com) has a free, but huge, bad and slow win client, free for non-commercial use. Personally, I'm sitting in PuTTY writing this in Mutt and elvis. :) -- /petri
Re: Refreshing screen in windoze!
People on this list told me about mindterm [1], and I'm quite pleased with it. It's a java applet that runs an ssh client on whatever machine it's run on. For some reason having to do with signed/unsigned java applets, without paying the mindterm people you can only connect via ssh to the machine that serves up mindterm (eg, I connect to www.example.com, I can only ssh to www.example.com). There's a debian package available. It's made by Mindbright, at mindbright.com. Two caveats: 1) I haven't gotten it to work with color. I run TERM=vt100 mutt. 2) mindterm 2 isn't GPL, mindterm 1 is. I use 1. HTH, Andy [1] humm, it seems it's changed addresses on me: http://www.appgate.org/products/mindterm/

Of course you can do some level of searching directly through mutt. I don't remember searches taking that much longer under Maildirs, but I honestly didn't do much in the way of comparison. It was the long delay in first opening the folder that drove me to convert the big folders back to mbox. Maildirs have some neat advantages of their own. For example it's very easy to merge two folders together. I send mail from my laptop, my desktop, and a shell account at my ISP. I end up with sent folders on all three places, but all my received mail is on my desktop. Since Maildir stores each message in its own file, and since the filename contains the hostname, I'm guaranteed to not have any name collisions. All I have to do is periodically scp or rsync everything in ~/Mail/sent/cur on my laptop and ISP to ~/Mail/sent/cur on my desktop, and suddenly everything is in one place. Though, to bring it back to vfolders (remember vfolders?), it would be nice to able to say something like SELECT Subject FROM MAIL WHERE From LIKE %mom% ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 1 and get the latest message from my mom...
