Re: losing mail because of too many qs
Hi, Andy Spiegl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote -- This works, but I don't like it. I'd rather have mutt ask me whether I really want to abort the mail. Or even better a quad-option like "quit". Have you tried setting the "postpone" quad-option to something like "ask-no" or "ask-yes"? It's not exactly what you are asking for, but, it will still solve your problem. You can press Ctl-G at the question and you will be back in the compose menu. Regards, Abhay. -- Abhay Ghaisas / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Motorola India Electronics Ltd., Bangalore, India.

For egroups, I am doing it with procmail + perl script. But some other things like removing quoted text have to be done on a case to case basis. So, I still need the macro and editor magic. Actually, I use a generic perl script as editor option and pass the name of the filter script as the first argument. The editor script is attached.

Procmail will take care of saving messages in different inbox for you. To make that the default spool mailbox for mutt, you will have to set the "spoolfile" variable instead of "mbox" variable like: set spoolfile=+Inbox BTW, for the correct expansion of "+" to "~/mail", you will also have to set the folder variable to "~/mail" like: set folder="~/mail" That, with procmail, would be what the doctor ordered.

Looks like a harmless feature to me :) Quite harmless when hand-editing the messages; a bit of annoyance when mixed with scripts :) I am using some scripts for cleaning up some mails by setting editor variable to script name.

Extra line added on edit message
Hi,
When I do edit-message ('e' in index menu by default), I get the
message in my editor. It seems like there is an extra newline added at
the end of the message. Thus, if I repeatedly keep on editing my
message and saving it (by force) without any changes, blank lines get
piled up at the end of the message. Is this done with some reason or is
it just a bug?

variable to script name. And, every time I try it, new lines get added
at end.
Regards,
Abhay.

Scoring addresses in lbdb
Hi, all. Is it somehow possible to score addresses I use in lbdb? Here is the problem I have. If I want to send a mail to somebody with name "Sudhir", I just type "sudhir" at the To: prompt and hit ^T for getting all possible completions. Invariably, I get a lot of completions that are possible. Many of them are just alternate addresses for the same "Sudhir" I want to contact. The preferred address is possibly sixth or seventh in the list. So, I scroll down and pick it up. What I want to happen now is that next time when I do the same operation, this address should get more priority and should be on top. I know that lbdb is a separate program and has no direct relation to mutt. So, I think, one possible way it can be done is to add some kind of scoring feature in lbdb and increase the score of selected addressed from some macro magic from mutt every time I select an address. Any ideas? Abhay. -- Abhay Ghaisas / [EMAIL PROTECTED]
