saving several attachments in a specified directory

oh, my, this *is* a faq by now...
and the answer is: "use a macro!"
macro attach S /path
this makes the cursor jump to
the "beginning-of-line" ("bol")
at the prompt for the filename,
thus adding the "/path" before
the filename (if there is one).
when you to to the attachments menu with
"view-attachments" ('v') then you can
tag-entry ('t') all the parts you want
to save and then use the tag-prefix (';')
command before you use save-entry ('s');
mutt will prompt you before saving each
"entry" (attachment/file/part), and the macro
will add the selected path automatically.
drawback:the /path is *fixed* in the macro.
workaround: maybe use $DIR_ATTACH in the macro..
wish:add an option to set the favourite
directory for saving attachments in.
(fefe - can you please add this to the faq?)
Sven [who will add this macro to the setup page]

So, I miss your personal name? Any idea? Is there any format-option

Because mutt sucks in this particular sence I made a patch
which is kind of ``works for me''. It's attached.
How it works: It prepends the value of $attach_dir _before_
prompting so that one can change it from case to case.

Problem with IMAP and patterns
Good Morning All, I am having a problem using patterns with mail on an IMAP server. I believe the problem is that mutt does not fetch the headers from the IMAP server and thus is not able to match patterns against them. Here is what I am trying to do. I want to move all my mail from the linux kernel mailing list, so I run the mutt macro: T~elinux-kernel However, instead of tagging all the mail from the linux-kernel mailing list, it only tags the messages I have already read. I tried to work around this by copying all my mail to a dummy folder: T~A;Cxyz and while this does dump it into a file called xyz, it does not seem to cause mutt to read the headers, so this workaround didnt work. Does anyone have any ideas for making this work? Thanks, Jim
short time in index view?
Hi, I'm trying to get the short time to come up in my index view. I got all the %d %D and other variations regard sending time zone and receiving time zone (great if you are using Qmail). However, it's giving me very long date and time fields. How can I just get something like: 10/09/02 10:15 or 10/09 1:15. Something short and concise. TIA! -- Eric

From the manual, section 6.3.84:
%d date and time of the message in the format specified by
``date_format'' converted to sender's time zone
%D date and time of the message in the format specified by
``date_format'' converted to the local time zone
Set date_format to something short.
Another option are the %{}, %(), %<>, and %[] formats:
%{fmt}
the date and time of the message is converted to sender's time
zone, and ``fmt'' is expanded by the library function
``strftime''; a leading bang disables locales
%[fmt]
the date and time of the message is converted to the local time
zone, and ``fmt'' is expanded by the library function
``strftime''; a leading bang disables locales
%(fmt)
the local date and time when the message was received. ``fmt''
is expanded by the library function ``strftime''; a leading bang
disables locales
%
the current local time. ``fmt'' is expanded by the library
function ``strftime''; a leading bang disables locales.

man strftime.
%m/%d %H:%M gives "10/09 12:49" right here, now.
You can test strftime sequences with (for example):
date "+%m/%d %H:%M"

imap issues
in the process of playing with imap i noticed something strange. when opening any mailbox, the current highlighted message appears to have the same text, foreground and background colors. in other words it appears as a solid red bar, where it should have white text. if i move to another message sometimes the solid red bar will remain on that first message, and the newly selected message also appears hihglighted, but displays as it it should. has anyone seen this before? thanks, dan Mutt 1.4i (2002-05-29) Copyright (C) 1996-2001 Michael R.

wu-imapd, mutt, recursive dir listings
I'm in the process of setting up a new mail server, I installed uw-imap (debian sid uw-imap-ssl 2001adebian-7 ppc). During login (debian sid mutt 1.4.0-4 x86) the connection hangs for ~ 20 minutes. This same configuration works fine on the old mail server (rh 6.2 uw-imap 2000c x86). Strace reveals that the client is hanging on a read while the server recursively calls stat on every file in my home directory (and follows sym links). Using stunnel and tcpdump I can watch the connection. Here's the stripped down version: S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 X-NETSCAPE LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=PLAIN S: * AUTH=LOGIN] mail-server IMAP4rev1 2001.315 at Wed, 9 Oct 2002 02:30:37 -0600 S: * (MDT) C: a00 login username password S: a00 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 X-NETSCAPE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS SCAN S: SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] User username S: authenticated C: a01 list "" "" spin disks and wait forever here S: * LIST (\NoSelect) "/" "" S: a01 OK LIST completed Everything works fine with no long waits after this. Twiddling with imap_namespace in .muttrc didn't change this initial listing command. Anyone seen anything like this? The lack of output for so much work and previous versions not doing such makes me think there is a uw-imap bug, but it works fine with other clients. The initial list ignoring namespace configs suggests a bug in mutt as well. Any thoughts or ideas? On a slightly related issue. How do people like cyrus's imap server? Is it worth converting large mail archives and scripts to the new format? How much trouble does the new format and accessibility cause with procmail and friends?
