wu-imap recursive dir listing
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?

Re: imap issues - color of indicator

Sorry I was not clear. I ment to say that the pattern does not work when the mail is on an IMAP server but it does work if I get my mail from a pop 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. try this pattern instead then: T ~C linux-kernel This pattern works. Thanks for fixing my problem! I am still courious as to why the T~elinux-kernel only works after I have read the message, but now its an academic problem rather than a practicle one. Thanks again, Jim

Well it says in the manual:-
Also note that my_hdr commands which modify recipient headers, or
the message's subject, don't have any effect on the current message
when executed from a send-hook.
So does the above mean what it says, or have I misunderstood it?
What I'm trying to create is a macro which will do the following:-
1 - It will work exactly like the current 's' command allowing
mail to be saved in a specific mailbox. Thus the macro will
first call the 's' command.
2 - It will bounce ('b' command) a copy of the mail to a specific
(fixed) address with an added header which will contain
the name and directory of the mailbox where the message has
been saved locally.
Is the above remotely possible? It's easy enoough to create a macro
which will do the 's' and the 'b' but I'm not sure how to set about
adding the header with the required information in it. Are there
completely different ways of getting to what I want? Basically what I
want is to send a copy of all messages saved in certain mailboxes to
another system with header information indicating where it was saved
so that the remote system can archive the message automatically (using
procmail).

mails to ms access, mime problems
Hi! Is it possible to configure mutt so that plain text simple emails are send WITHOUT the Mime-Version: 1.0 header? I am sending emails to ms access users and they always get, even simple text emails, as mime attachment. I know they are wrong, but, what should I say, ... Not putting in the Mime-Version header fixes the problem. Is it possible to configure this as I did it with send-hook . 'set pgp_create_traditional=no' send-hook .

It means what it says, but it might not say what it means. It's saying,
I think, that my_hdr cannot modify To:, Cc:, Bcc:, or Subject: inside a
send-hook. Other my_hdr headers are fine.

Seems like it, although I don't know how you get the name of the folder
into the my_hdr, unless it's just a hard-coded part of the macro.

list of key bindings
Hello, I could have sworn that somewhere in the documentation (man page/manual/faqs) I saw something that showed what mutt command could be used to get a list of all the key bindings that were active in the current menu. But now I can't find that reference any more. So, is there a command that will show all the current key bindings, and if so, what is it? The reason I'm interested is that, as a mutt newbie, I'm presuming one needs to know what key bindings already exist in order _not_ to write a macro that will write all over some important command.

Try the magic '?'. Michael [wondering wheather Susan's help bar looks diffenrent to his one] Thanks to all for your help on help. I deserve a big duh for this. I guess I was looking for some key which would either show a compact table of keys that were already defined, or, if there were lots of pre-defined keys, then some key which would show a short list of the keys that were not yet defined. I must still be doing something wrong: I can't believe that every single person who uses mutt has to cut and paste all 3 or 4 help screens into an editor, then do a bunch of editing, just to find out which few keys are available to assign to macros. I also can't believe that users are really restricted to single keystrokes to identify macros. Here are a couple of specific ambiguities in the manual: Section 3.3 says that the key to which a function can be mapped may consist of: ... f1 f10 Some messages in the mutt-users archives implies that the above really means: f1...f10 Section 3.2 in the manual says that one can define aliases using alias key address [, address, ...] but then says aliases can be used to map a short string to a full address. So is key to be understood as a short string in all cases? or just in the case of aliases? (When Sven answered that he uses various characters as macro lead-in's, it struck me that mutli-key macros must indeed be possible.) But if key is to be understood as short string for macros as well as for aliases, then how does the command parser know when the beginning of a short string has been entered, as opposed to a series of individual commands? Sorry for the verbosity -- I'm just trying to be clear about what's causing confusion. TIA, Susan
