Re: How can I display most X- headers but not all
Submitted 25-Jul-00 by Russell Hoover:
Though I'm doing the opposite ("unignore X-"), it works the same way (I
can't "ignore X-mailer" after the unignore).
What about replaceing the (rather draconian) "ignore *" with a list of
specific headers to be supressed? Yes, it is a bit more work, but it
will ultimately accomplish what you want.

iirc, that's an eterm theme.
I am wondering how a *theme* can add GUI functionality to a non-GUI program.
ETerm "themes" allow you to customize the menus at the top of the
window. It's not really adding "GUI functionality." Essentially what
Eterm does is push keystrokes into the window. So it's like "mouse
selectable macros"

multipart/alternative formatting
There seems to be some "funkiness" in the handling of
multipart/alternative messages. In particular, the attachments
which are Content-Type: text/plain and Content-Transfer-Encoding:
quoted-printable. These frequently come from Outlook (Express) users.
This is how mutt displays a single line of the message:
i'm using linux mandrake about 3 month it like me, the firts time install LM in
+a machine with Win98, now i want to install it with WinNT,
This is how the same line looks in the message:
i'm using linux mandrake about 3 month it like me, the firts time =
install LM in a machine with Win98, now i want to install it with WinNT,
The '=' sign is a sort of "soft-return" that gets dropped in the
decoding process, resulting in abnormally long lines.
At present, I am dealing with the problem via procmail (see below),
but I guess my question is, "Shouldn't these soft returns be preserved
by the receiving client (i.e. mutt)?"

Of course :p
Even though it's marked text/plain, that doesn't mean that LookOut!
users aren't depending on their mailer to autoformat their lines
based on fluctuating window width and such...
I still think that text/plain should be just that: plain :)
Right; that '+' char is to let you know that mutt had to break the line
for display but it's actually connected to the apparent one above. See
sections 6.3.80 and 6.3.181 of the manual.
Yes, I understand that, and appreciate it when receiving preformatted
data as it shows me that the line is a continuation of the previous
without requiring me to scroll right through a 230 character line.

Are you sure that that shouldn't be "s/= $//" (and you certainly don't
need the /g if you're targeting the end of the line!)? When I have q-p
messages whose lines have been broken, that's what I get...
Actually, the '=' seems to be hanging at the end without a trailing
space on the ones I receive. (And you're right, I don't need the /g,
it's there through force of habit :)

Re: From_ line
Hi Baurjan!
On Tue, 06 Jun 2000, Baurjan Ismagulov wrote:
hi,
thanks for the reply.
sorry for inconvenience, forgot to escape From_ lines.
seems that i've been somewhat unclear in stating the problem.
my problem is NOT "how to show/hide specific headers", but rather
"how to retain the original From_ line". for instance: when the
message arrives to the mail server (sendmail 8.10.1 and mail.local
from solaris 7), the From_ line in the mailbox (/var/mail/ibr) looks
like
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun 6 10:33:24 2000
First of all, that *looks* like a header from a mailing list. From
the headers in the message I'm replying to (all From type headers):
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun 6 13:27:26 2000
X-From_: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun 6 15:24:22 2000
From: Baurjan Ismagulov [EMAIL PROTECTED]
the From without a colon is not the originator of the message,
obviously The X-From_: header matches what my mail logs show (and the
colon-less From) as the originator thanks to an envelope-from as shown
here:
Received: from bigfoot.com (bflitemail6.bigfoot.com [208.156.39.206])
by glitch.crosswinds.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id PAA38634
for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tue, 6 Jun 2000 15:24:05 -0400 (EDT)
(envelope-from [EMAIL PROTECTED])
then i fetch the message using mutt's built-in pop3 support (i set
pop_user, pop_host, and pop_delete). the From_ line becomes:
From ibr Tue Jun 6 10:18:29 2000
This may be an artifect caused by your POP daemon and/or MTA. I don't
run a POP server, but I do retrieve some messages by remote that don't
arrive via usual channels (i.e. they are retrieved from a webmail
account via a perl script). Those messages all give a Sender header
that matches my username ond domain, and masseages (read spam) without
domains get my domain name tacked onto them.
the question is, can i see its original state, i.e., can i see
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun 6 10:33:24 2000
(the original sender and the original send time) in mutt?
best regards,
baurjan.

It is kinda important and I'd be more then happy to help track down the problem but at the moment I've gotten SFA responce to it which may mean that noone really cares if mutt corrupts mailboxes. I would guess that your problem stems, in part, from the fact that the mbox format is not really designed for a 47 meg box with 7500+ messages. I would seriously consider saving some of those messages in other mailboxes. This would help alleviate this problem and undoubtedly make finding specific messages easier. Personally, I have a cron job that runs at midnight on the first of each month which moves all of my mail storage into an archive directory and compresses the boxes.

Two ideas
Both of these revolve around the use of sig-dashes. First, I have a corrspondent who (despite protests) uses the ``-- `` sequence to separate his message from the text he is replying to. Needless to say, this causes mutt to syntax hilight the first paragraph of his reply as a signature. Perhaps a check to see how many lines remain after the sig-dashes would be helpful in dealing with situations like this. Say, for example, 10 lines remain after sig-dashes means it's not a sig? This would still provide enough space for the cast majority of over-long sigs. Second, I'd like to see a ``strip-from-sig-dashes'' type feature (a la pine). It's merely a convenience. -- _ _|_|_ ( ) *Anton Graham /v\ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] /( )X (m_m) GPG ID: 18F78541 Penguin Powered!
