Re: email chess

 Years ago, running Window$, I used an application which automated the
 process of playing chess via email.  I don't remember the details, but
 an email with a chess game file (.pgn ?) would launch an application
 similar to xboard, and the chess application would create a game file
 (.pgn ?)  for mailing.  The automation did away with almost all of the
 hassle.
 
 Is there a Linux package (or perhaps an extension to mutt) which
 facilitates playing chess via email?

http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl6_cmail.htm seems to match
what you want to do. Comes with the xboard package according to the
page.

http://www.develia.org/documents.php?l=2f=3p=chessonlinux should
also give you something to read.

IIRC, when I tried to do this a couple years back, I ended up with
cmail and xboard as the docs in the package was enough to get me going
relatively easy.

 
 Alternatively, is there a good HOWTO on email chess?

I, too, distantly remember once having used xboard and cmail on
Linux.  I don't think that it used any capabilities that Linux has
lost over the past 10 years. ;-)

Thanks to the both of you for the response.  Yes, it appears that the
combination of xboard and cmail is the solution which I hoped to find.

While trying to get xboard launched with a reasonable board size (the
default was much too big for my screen), I noticed cmail in the xboard
documentation, but I didn't investigate, because I am using mutt.  But
now I'll read over the xboard documentation carefully and give cmail a
try.

Re: Configuring sendmail on Mac OS X (Leopard)?

[Peter Davis]

Dang.  Just for grins, I tried using my fastmail.fm smtp server instead 
of the pair one.  Still no luck.  Now my log shows errors below.  I had 
set mydomain in main.cf to pfdstudio.com, the domain I generally use for 
personal email.  However when I tried to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I 
got the 'unknown user' error, so I'm wondering if postfix somehow tried 
to send mail to this local machine, which doesn't have that account.


So I tried sending to my work address, and got further errors (I think 
separated by a blank line I inserted.)

Set Content-Disposition: inline on Patches automatically

[Antoine Kaufmann]

Hi,

I'm new to mutt. I often send patches to mailing lists, and I would like
mutt to set Content-Disposition to inline whenever I attach a Patch to a
new mail. Because otherwise i forget half the time to do this manually.
;-)

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Index Column Width

[Cristopher Thomas]

I'm looking for a way to more strictly regulate the width of the columns
in the index.  For example, in my current configuration if an email
address shows up in my index that is too long to be displayed in the
parameters I have set for the From field (25 characters), it overflows
into the subject column pushing my column formatting off.  Is there a
way to cut off names and addresses that run over?

%-25.25F

This is a printf-like string sizing specification.  See the mutt manual
or man printf for details.  It's the .25 that makes the difference.
The first 25 makes it a minimum of 25 characters; the .25 makes it
a maximum.  The - left-aligns.
