Re: Using Elinks with mutt
During a recent thread kyle said as follows:- The next task is to figure out how to get elinks' colors to be preserved. The key mutt configuration value here is $allow_ansi. Default is "no", but if you set it to "yes" then mutt will preserve the colors in elinks' output. If that doesn't work, it means that elinks isn't putting the colors into its dump output, so you have to tell elinks to use colors when printing formatted text to a pipe. The magic argument you need to pass to elinks is -dump-color-mode. Unfortunately, as you can see in this bugreport (http://bugzilla.elinks.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=622), they've only implemented that flag for the cutting edge 0.12.GIT version of elinks (it hasn't made it into a stable version of elinks yet). So, if you REALLY REALLY want color, you can get it, but it'll be a bit of a pain. Thanks to the other part of your reply (which I haven't quoted) I can now get elinks to fill the width of the window in 'autoview' dump mode. However my other issue is less with colour as such but with formatting. If I run elinks to view an HTML E-Mail via the 'v'iew command I not only get the original colours, I get proper frames for tables etc. rather than ASCII characters. I *suppose* this may be for the same reasons that you have described above for colours but I'm not really sure. I guess it *might* be possible to write a wrapper script that allows elinks to feel as if it has a terminal, capture the output to file and then dump that to mutt. -- Chris Green
utf8 console font
Hi, Just wondering which console font people are using in an utf8 locale. Currently I am using chavo less /etc/console-tools/config [..] SCREEN_FONT=chavo That was aquired by "apt-get install fonty-rq" in Debian Etch locale | grep LANG LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 Any tips? -- Chris. == "One, with God, is always a majority, but many a martyr has been burned at the stake while the votes were being counted." -- Thomas B.

Can one automate selecting HTML version and viewing it?
OK, I have given up trying to get elinks to display an HTML E-Mail nicely via "auto_view text/html", even with the latest elinks and using -dump-color-mode the result is still rubbish compared with running elinks 'manually' via v[iew] and selecting the part of the message to display with elinks in interactive mode. While w3m via "auto_view text/html" does give me a slightly better result than elinks it lacks display of HTML font colours and that means it's little use to me because many messages I receive are chunks of error logs with important parts highlighted with colour. So .. Can I automate the process of running elinks interactively on the HTML part of a message? A macro to do some of it is easy enough but how do I get the macro to move down to the [first] HTML part of a message automatically? -- Chris Green

changing subject of all messages in a thread
We all know it: mailing list threads often go wild and correspondents forget to amend the subject lines appropriately. This makes it really hard to find stuff later. mutt can join and break threads, beautifully sort them and otherwise makes my life a lot easier. But... can it help me change the subject line for messages that are part of a subthread? I know how to set $editor to get it to do this automatically, but how do I convince mutt to spawn the editor on all tagged messages or messages of a subthread without manually iterating? -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "writing a book is like washing an elephant: there no good place to begin or end, and it's hard to keep track of what you've already covered." -- anonymous spamtraps: [EMAIL PROTECTED] digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/)

sigma-general-8x16 ;) [ It's from sigma-consolefonts which is my own
assemblage, derived from etl16, and includes a number of different
maps (the maps decide which characters are available in a particular
psfu font). ]
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/zarniwhoop/consolefonts/sigma.html .
End of blowing my own trumpet. I must remember to update that font
with a few minor fixes.

Screen fonts fall into two types - the 'vga' fonts derived from
what you get from the video card (usually very bold), and the others
(often less bold, which might be a problem for some people). You
then have the "256 glyphs and bold colours, or 512 glyphs without the
bold colours" decision. There is also a size consideration (fewer
lines of text, or more lines of text) FWIW, mine is up-to 512 glyphs
and «less bold» with only an 8x16 "cell".
The big question is, which languages do you want to support in the
console ? Most fonts are limited to only a few languages. If you
already have UTF-8 text in all the languages of interest to you, or
you can create some (remember punctuation, quotation marks, currency
symbols as well as the accented letters), then try using the
different fonts ('setfont') to see how well they cope. For
non-ascii text, creating it is usually a lot easier in a graphical
environment.
I assume you already know that only alphabetic languages can be
displayed in the regular linux console.
Of course, there are also visual choices for any font, such as
'what letter form for "g"?', and "how many rows of the character cell
are used for the text?" and even "what do you display when the glyph
isn't available?". Many console fonts use different glyphs for
cyrillic and latin letters (e.g. Aa|Аа B|В and perhaps C|С) which to
me looks strange. There is definitely no "one size fits all".

I've never gotten elinks to use line-drawing characters for frames in its dump output. Generally, I would expect that to be some argument like -dump-charset, but that doesn't work with elinks. Those line-drawing characters are why I use w3m instead of elinks or any of the other similar programs (w3m seems to have better character set support in general). ~Kyle - -- The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do. -- B.

multiple gmail accounts
I've done some poking around and I haven't found a good answer to this, yet. How best to use gmail/imap accounts with mutt. The problem is I have multiple gmail accounts that I would like to access from the same mutt process. So I'm using account-hook and folder-hook (to set options): account-hook imaps://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ 'set imap_user=rodmur imap_pass=""' folder-hook imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ 'source ~/.mutt/accounts.d/' However, it would not seem that account-hook or folder-hook supports this at all. I guess this would work if I had only one account at gmail, and was doing "account-hook imaps://imap.gmail.com/ ..." Anyone have any suggestions? Or am I SOL and I'll just have to go back to using mutt -F. -- Dale Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] /.-)

But in any case, the problem with this is that I'd like to provide a new subject line once for all messages, but not really redefined $editor every time.

Well, it sounds like you have your choice of people to complain to: you could try to get the w3m folks to add color to their dump output, or you could try to get the elinks folks to use line-drawing characters in *their* dump output (or learn to live without 'em). Either way, mutt could display whatever they produce without any problem. About the only trick they can do that mutt can't handle is w3m's graphics support (which is, at best, a realy impressive hack). ~Kyle - -- Reason is itself a matter of faith.

Deleting Duplicates
I have an mbox file with 3633 messages. Every single message has a duplicate. I understand that I can easily delete duplicates with the tag ~=. The problem that I have is that this only works with messages with a unique message ID. Sadly, none of these messages has a unique message ID, so this will not work. Is there some other way of deleting the duplicate messages? Is there some way of tagging every other message or every odd numbered message? There must be some way to select every other message and delete it. Date filters won't work since each set of messages has a different date. Neither will subject or From filters for the same reason. I have also looked at grepmail which has the -u option for filtering out only unique messages, but that works on Message-ID too!
