 It does, along with various other Resent- headers.  My main point was
 that the bounce command hasn't really changed, and that (for the most

Hm, I have a report from someone who receives these messages that
*sometimes* there is no Resent-To: header.  He claims that happens
about 5 times per year with my mails (he notices only when his

Home/End mapping on Sun keyboard

2002-07-12 Thread Charles Gagnon

The mutt documentation says that the 'home' and 'end' keys on the
keyboard should make you jump to the beginning and the end of a
message while reading it.

On Solaris 8 running on sparc (with a standard sun keyboard) I get
the Key is not bound message.

Anyone knows how to add this binding to my config?

You might try
bind pager escOH top
bind pager escOF bottom

Sun's home/end don't send typical PC codes, they send escaped macro
values instead.

... But ideally, your curses library will take care of this. You might
be encountering the problem where ESC causes subsequent keystrokes to be

I get the Key is not bound message on my Linux PC, too.  Where did
you see the reference in the documentation?

There may be a more significant problem, though.  On the PC, both
keys actually send something to the terminal window (Home key sends
ESC[1~; End key sends ESC[4~).  On my Sun, pressing the keys
sends an event that X recognizes but no characters to the terminal
window at all, so there's no way a terminal program like mutt can
do anything with them.

You could use xmodmap to modify the bindings on those keys to
something that a terminal program can detect, but then they would
stop working properly in GUI applications.

generally that's done in the system-level app-defaults file for xterm

If you hit '?' while reading a message:

I ended up adding my own mappings on other keys:

I did was incrementally upgrade both precompiled Debian packages using

3.  Three days ago, when I attempted to enable BCE on someone else's

So, are you saying this terminfo entry purports to include BCE support

It's a matter of side-effects.  bce says that when doing an erase, the
terminal doesn't change the background color.  (n)curses and other
applications use this information to decide when they don't have to
repaint the background using spaces, i.e., filling using the current
background color setting.  xterm uses the explicit writes in contrast
to erases to decide what parts of the screen contain text which can
be selected.

probably the version of screen changed.  At one point it didn't pay much
attention to the bce feature, iirc.  I still have a note in one of my
to-do lists from the beginning of 2000 that screen had something hardcoded
to assume that $TERM set to xterm-color implied that it supported bce.

That may be the source of your confusion.  It was incorrect, and
presumably has been fixed.  (I've sent fixes a several times to screen's
maintainers, who have ignored them, btw - my recollection is that the only
time I get an email response is when I'm not supplying a patch ;-)

 3.  Three days ago, when I attempted to enable BCE on someone else's

It looks like your symlink isn't being used for some reason, is going up
two directory levels enough?  So you're getting the normal terminfo
entry for screen, rather than the one that advertises bce support.
Perhaps you should try it out with TERM=screen-bce.

Using the bce support in the debian screen packages (along with
TERM=screen-bce) has indeed fixed this problem for me.  The main
difference would be that I'm using a mutt that I built rather than the
debian package.

 No file hey... I presume I could remap the '?' key

correct.
you can bind the '?' key to some other command
and thus lose the binding for the help command.
this way you can shoot yourself into your foot.

 how would I get a dump of that output into a file?

  mutt :set pager=vim
  mutt help
  vim  :w mutt_help.txt
  vim  ZZ

 (ex M$ geek question...)

try that with some M$ program!

Re: Mutt 1.3.28 internal pager, Screen 3.09.11: right-padded spaces

2002-07-12 Thread Rick Moen

Quoting Aaron Schrab ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 It looks like your symlink isn't being used for some reason, is going up
 two directory levels enough?

Good point.  I was probably off by one directory level, and didn't check
my work carefully enough.  How embarrassing!  My thanks to you and
Thomas for your help.  

 Perhaps you should try it out with TERM=screen-bce.

Ah, good:

I exited screen, re-enabled defbce on in /etc/screenrc, did export
TERM=screen-bce, started screen.  Feh! Screen re-sets to TERM=screen.
(I'm now adding term screen-bce, to /etc/screenrc, to fix this
prospectively.)  

Inside my screen session, did export TERM=screen-bce again.  Started
mutt, used the internal pager, and now X11 copy/paste from the internal
pager works fine without spurious right-padded spaces.  Cool.

I do find it odd that the symptom showed up _only_ with mutt's
internal pager, and not when using less in its place.  But all's 
well that ends well.

Actually, that MDA MUST do that mangling, or else your mbox will be
corrupted.  That's the problem with mbox.  As a workaround, the
PGP/MIME RFCs recommend that the sending MUA use quoted-printable, and
escape all From_ lines before transmitting the message.  (though if
that GMX MDA was actually manging 'from' lines, then I'll agree that
it is broken)

Right.  I use maildir as my delivery format, so no message mangling is
needed.

Yeah, but this didn't work for me :
au FileType mail set comments+=n:\|,n:%

My quoting is colored properly.  When I run :set comments?, I see
the % added as a comment character, but the coloring doesn't change.
Any ideas on that?
(using vim as the pager, btw)

FWIW I like exim the best and postfix next.  I've heard too many
horror stories about sendmail, and read too much of djb's attitude.
(also exim has some capabilities that postfix doesn't)

less doesn't know anything about color, so it would simply erase rather than fill.

Re: bouncing w/ mutt-1.3.28i

2002-07-12 Thread David T-G

Dominik --

One thing I didn't see revisited was your subscription problem.  Are you
now subscribed?  Do you want to be?

Anyway, we come back to this problem of bouncing messages.

When you bounce a message, mutt takes the message as it was received by
you and hands it back to sendmail with a new addressee so that sendmail
can put it on its way.  This is just like a .forward file in that sense
(though it's done manually, of course); nothing in the message envelope
is changed, and new headers are added.

When you resend a message, all of the transit-related headers (Received:)
are thrown away, the identification headers (From:) are available to
change as necessary, and the body is wrapped in a new envelope.  I'm
almost certain that it's completely a new message, with the Message-ID:
regenerated on your system, too.  All you're doing is using the old
message as a template for an entirely new message that happens to look
very similar (usually).

What is it that you used to do, and what is it that you really want to
do?  You sound as though you've been doing this for a while, so please
forgive the basic level of my explanations and questions, but 'b'ouncing
hasn't changed since I met mutt at 0.88 and I can't imagine, particularly
since it also works the same way in elm, that it was *ever* any different.


Just some thoughts...
