PATCH Re: pgp subprocess (was Re: switch from maildir format back to mbox)

Regardless of why mutt couldn't create a PGP subprocess (in this
case, as it turns out, because PGP isn't installed) it is arguably
a bug that it doesn't display the message body in the pager.
Clearly it should show a big message at the top saying that PGP
verification failed, but I think that then it should display the
message.
This is indeed clearly a bug.

Mutt's return value
Hi, I didn't find the answer on this question anywhere... I'm running mutt from a shell script and need to investigate a return value. It looks like mutt is always returning 0. For example, echo hi! | mutt -s hello -a $ATTACHMENT [EMAIL PROTECTED] 21 1$OUTFILE $?=0. No errors will be reported even if I'll put a wrong e-mail address, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Only if I'll put something very bad like zzz it will return an error but $? will still be =0. So, how can I work with a mutt's return value? I've understand that I can redirect an output and investigate an error file. Is this the only possibility? What if, as I've mentioned above, I've just misspell the 1 letter and no error message appear? Thanks, Oleg

list wierdness and muttrc builder
For some reason I was unsubed from this list without warning. Anyone know why that would be? Anyway, according to http://mutt.netliberte.org, the muttrc builder code is under the GPL.

NNTP support
I'm trying to patch mutt so I can read/subscribe/delete news groups and messages from within. I got the latest mutt: 1.2.23, it compiles just fine. I looked at a few nntp patches, and the one that seemed to be the most complete was at: http://mutt.kiev.ua/download/mutt-1.3.23/ And I applied the nntp patch, and followed the meager directions that exist within the file. It seemed to compile okay, but never seemed to use the file nntp.c or nntp.h. Weird. All this newly compiled version of mutt does now is seg fault. What are people using for NNTP support within mutt? Where can I go for good directions, good documentation and a good add-on to the standard mutt package. Is there a most popular patch? What is it?? Thanks! -- Ryan

mbox files not showing new mail
I've changed my procmail rule to match mutt-users specifically for now. I think my problem has to do with the version of procmail I'm running (3.11pre3) and sed. At any rate, it's now working with this rule: :0: * ^Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/mutt-users However, mutt is not showing the 'N' beside the mbox file to indicate that it has new mail. This is in mutt 1.2.5i on Solaris 8 (maybe I'll grab a newer version, but for now, this is what I need to use). I have this in my .muttrc: mailboxes `for file in ~/Mail/lists/*; do echo -n +lists/$(basename $file) ; done` any ideas?

Re: mutt's return value
No errors will be reported even if I'll put a wrong e-mail address, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] The email system is a lot like the snail mail system -- if you drop a letter with a bad address into a mailbox, you don't find out right away. The mailbox doesn't spit it out. Email works the same way -- if you tell mutt to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it successfully sends that message off for delivery. It's not until the mail system tries to deliver it (possibly days later) that the address is determined to be invalid. Only if I'll put something very bad like zzz it will return an error but $? will still be =0. is a valid email address -- mutt interprets that as zzz@localhost. Or perhaps @ the value of the hostname variable. Again, it's not until a delivery attempt is made that the invalid address is uncovered. -- Mike Schiraldi Verisign Applied Research smime.p7s

coloring the indicator
YACQ: I'd really like to colorize my indicator. I no longer use %Z in my index_format, and use index coloring to pass along the flag-info I care about. Unfortunately, that means that I can't tell what's up with the message currently under the indicator. Any hints on using patterns to hilight the indicator somehow? -- rjbs PGP signature

Re: Wrapping Text
Sorry, I missed the printing part as well.

That's when I want something to be old instead of new or read, and to stay old between instances of mutt -- but for unread messages to stay unread, without becoming old. That's pretty much how I use it as well. I've patched mutt so that the functionality of the standard versions $mark_old is split into two variables: - $mark_old, controls if new messages are automatically marked as old when you leave a folder. Also, this is now a quad-option (this part was actually done by somebody else, though I'd have to look to remember who). - $see_old, determines whether or not messages that are marked as old should actually be displayed as such. It's even done in such a way that changing the value of $see_old will take effect immediately, not just when messages are being parsed. The patch (and a couple others I've done) is available from my (currently *very* minimal) mutt page: http://pug.schrab.com/aaron/mutt/ Current version up there was originally against 1.3.8, but it should apply cleanly up to 1.3.23. There's a minor issue applying against the current CVS version, but it's pretty easy to fix. I'll probably put a new version up sometime over the weekend. Of course, I haven't done extensive testing of it in a while; I just know that it works for me with set mark_old=no see_old=yes -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~aarons/ What kind of head of security would I be if I let people like me know things that I'm not supposed to know?-- Garibaldi

Re: limit header size

Is there a way to limit the size of CC and To field when receiving an

Not built in to mutt, but it can be done with an external script and the
display_filter variable. I use the following in my muttrc:
set display_filter=mail-to-filter
where mail-to-filter is a perl script (attached) which I wrote
originally in awk and converted to perl with a2p.
To: and Cc: lists are only truncated if they are longer than three
lines and the deleted lines are replaced with a message saying how many
lines were deleted. Since the filter is applied only as the message is
displayed, the original message remains intact so that, for example,
group replies work correctly.
