No. Only broken procmail creates dupes. Procmail users should consider using something like 'safecat' to deliver mail rather than the built-in delivery mechanism. Tim

Hmm, dunno, but I find a cat old_mbox >> current_mbox also quite easy.
Dunno how maildir names the files, but if it's just a semi "random"
(increasing numbers count like this as well) name, than "merging" two
folders will create dupes (just like my cat above does).
Okay, I just tested. Using procmail, I end up with files named like
this:
995153880.17759_1.teich
995153880.17760_1.teich
995153880.17761_1.teich
So a simple copy will also create dupes. No gain here.

Hmm, I have
set record=`date +${HOME}/Mail/Sent-Mail-%Y-%m`
in my muttrc. This causes the sent messages to be stored in
Sent-Mail-2001-07 for this month. So, to sync, just copy the files over
and cat them together. No big deal.

Printing in Vim: Solved via Oualline's book

OT (sort of): New Vim Book
There is just out the book, "Vi IMproved -- Vim", by Steve Oualline, Foreword by Bram Moolenarr, published by New Riders Press, 2001. It's pretty fabulous, really. A lot is familiar from the Vim online help. This book FAR exceeds the treatment given in O'Reilly's, "Learning the vi Editor" There is an excellent tutorial section to begin the book, followed by a through reference section. I find the illustrations to be a particularly helpful feature. It's terrific to have all this on Vim in one printed place. -- John P. Verel Norwalk, CT

Re: archiving mail folders
Mark, That sounds like exactly what i'm looking for. If I understand you correctly this will copy all messages into $MAILDIR/Archives/`date whatever`, and also allows it to pass through the remainder of my procmail rules for a match? I could also modify the rule to copy messages to $MAILDIR/Archives/mutt-users--MM, which would be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Re: archiving mail folders
I use a procmail rule for that: :0 c : $MAILDIR/Archive/`date +%Y-%m` Which copies all incoming mail into a -DD mbox format mailbox, and then lets the message continue through any other rules that I have.

mailinglist-filtering
Hello, is there a way of automatic mailinglist-filtering from within mutt? I think of something like an automatic sorting into maildirs when mutt moves read mails to the default mbox/maildir. Perhaps one could define a folder-hook which saves every read message? Has anybody done something like that? Thx. Andre.

archiving mail folders
I've got several mbox format mailboxes I want to archive monthly. I've come up with the following shell script to run from cron, but I'm not sure there isn't a better way to go about this. Here's the script.. #!/bin/sh maildir=/home/graffix/mail for x in $maildir/lug $maildir/support $maildir/mutt-users $maildir/procmail do tar czfp $x-`date '+%m-%Y'`.tar.gz $x ; cp /dev/null $x done My main concern is that mutt might be in the process of writing to a mbox when cron fires off the script. I'm guessing that could create some problems and possibly even lost email. Anyone have a better suggestion? Dan
Can I use Supercite with mutt?
Hi, While I normally use VM/XEmacs on my powerful desktop workstation for my Emailing, I also use mutt 1.3.18i *lots* over ssh, as I do mutt 1.2.x on two separate machines. I rather love the way Supercite works inside Emacs so that you may quote a person's Email in a far more human-readable format, than regular "> or ":"s do. I was wondering if there existed a configuration for Supercite to run specifically over mutt or if there existed an alternative? I still prefer vim/mutt over ssh on remote machines to any other combination, and VM/XEmacs on desktop ... Thanks. --ravi. P.S.: Please Cc me on replies, as I cant handle all the traffic on mutt-users just now ... (and yes, I know procmail, and digests ...) -- - | Ravikant K.
