Re: mailboxes with new mails in status_format - %b
* dak [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-06-26 10:00]: Recently i had a system crash and i've lost all my data. After having re-installed a new system, i reinstalled mutt. I built a .muttrc (the same i had before). But the problem is when i run mutt, before when i had new mails in my ~/Mail/ directory (mails filtered with procmail), mutt tells it to me by adding a 'Inc: n' in the botton of the screen (where 'n' is the number of mailboxes with new mails) so i just had to do 'c' to switch between mailboxes. So my question is: what must I do to have this feature again? * Sven Guckes [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-06-26 10:35]: tell mutt which folders to check: mailboxes ! +foo +bar +baz i just realized that this might only be about the *display*, so the only thing missing might be the format item %b in your status_format. However, the default value of the status_format include Inc:%b. so - check your setup files for changes to this variable. remember: /etc/Muttrc and $HOME/.muttrc and sourced files from these.

People have sent me some PGP signed emails in PGP/MIME format
(with signature as a separate attachment). I would like to turn

signatures. Does anyone here know how I'd go about doing this?
if this is just about extracting the keys from the messages,
well, mutt has a command for this: extract-keys (CTRL-K)
Help for index -- (30%)
^K extract-keys extract PGP public keys
but if this is about copying a message to a file
then please use the command copy-message ('C'):
Help for index -- (65%)
Ccopy-message copy a message to a file/mailbox
however, there is no command which saves only the body

either save the whole message and edit the resulting files.
or pipe the message to a script which filter the header away.
let us know what you need.

You just have to see that mutt sends raw HTML to the pager. You also reminded me of a similar discussion here last month in which I wrote: How can I make the pager recieve the HTML? I tried to explain that in my previous post, but I guess I didn't do very well. If you put a line like this in your muttrc, auto_view text/html mutt will look in the mailcap file to find out how to process the text/html part of the message. Then if you put this in your mailcap file, text/html; w3m %s; nametemplate=%s.html text/html; cat; copiousoutput mutt will use the rule tagged with the copiousoutput field to process the text/html part of the message. In this case, mutt just pipes that part of the message through cat before sending it to the pager. Consequently, the pager will receive raw HTML. Another way to do all this which might be simpler is to forget the auto_view and mailcap and pager stuff and simply pipe the message through the pager program, either the htmlviewer script from my other post or just w3m -T text/html (or the lynx equivalent, if you prefer). You could also create a macro to execute the pipe. The disadvantage to the piping approach is that it's not automatic--you have to know that the message content is HTML.

The funny thing is when I remove the --command parm from the launcher and then start mutt manually, LC_CTYPE is defined correctly as are the special characters. Basically mutt works like I want in every situation I can imagine, except when launched from the desktop with my handy-dandy mutt-icon. I don't know if the --command option for gnome-terminal causes a different environment to be set. And if so if it's a feature or a bug. After searching faqs, checking manuals and browsing bugzillas, I give up. Would some kind soul shed some light on my frustrating situation? have you tried playing with the --login and --nologin options to gnome-terminal? from man gnome-terminal: --nologin This option indicates that the shell started by Gnome Terminal should not be a login shell but a regular shell. --login This option indicates that the shell started by Gnome Terminal should be a login shell (this trick is cleverly achieved in the Unix world by running the shell but telling the shell that its name has a dash in the front. Very clever). you might also play with where you put lc_type in conjunction with these gnome-terminal options. -- Peter Abplanalp Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: pgp.mit.edu msg29277/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Mutt in Gnome Terminal
First of all thanks to all the people for replying. I will respond to this message. % I also have a shortcut aka launcher with a nice mutt icon that % starts a gnome-terminal with a larger than default geometry and % --command mutt. When you start that command how does your mutt get any environment settings? Unless bash runs to set it before calling mutt then you won't see it. Well, I don't know. My understanding was that the terminal starts a new shell and optionally runs a command. I checked the manual and there's nothing there changed my initial belief. Hence my question whether I am dealing with a feature or a bug. Try putting mutt in a wrapper that sets your vars and is called by your --command shortcut and see what it gets you. That works beautifully. Since this is my first scipt I am not sure what I have done. The script works with #!/bin/sh as the first line and without it. I have also tried to put some different things behind --command, like echo foofoo.txt. This never works and even sometimes causes a startup error. After some sleep I will try to search the gnome bugzilla again and see if there is something that describes problems with the --command option. For now I am happy I can click to get some mutt.

status_format
Hello Everyone, Is there a way of getting %f to just display the mailbox name rather than the full pathname of it? I have mailboxes nested in sub-directories and the name run off off the screen, so having just the mailbox name would really make it helpful. Thanx. -Sadiq

The redirection () is a shell feature, but --command does not start a shell, it only spawns the executable given. Try: gnome-terminal --command='sh -c echo foo foo.txt' or gnome-terminal --command='sh -c locale locale.txt' After some sleep I will try to search the gnome bugzilla again and see if there is something that describes problems with the --command option. Try setting your LC_CTYPE in /etc/profile (or /etc/profile.local if that exists). Restart X to make sure gdm (or kdm/xdm) gets restarted. You could also try to use the --login for gnome-terminal.

browsing folders
My procmail puts incoming mail to different files(folders). Is there an easy way to view and browse these folders within mutt? Does mutt highlight the folders with new malis? --st.
