I have no reason to think that I'm doing anything wrong and on that basis I will carry on as I am. Some of the more extreme past members of this list would have blasted you out of the water for: a) using a two-line attribution at the top of all your quotes b) using a non standard sig (not delimited with -- and more than 4 lines) I dont take issue with you for points a and b above, but it would make you emails neater (but that is a highly subjective term). On another note, I thank you for using as your quote char. As regards quoting, just pare it down to the minimum, there are certain people on this list who go out of their way to quote and reply to even the most trivial words in a post. I think this is wrong, but you dont do that. Good man. Brian

Integrating abook and mutt
Hey All, I wrote a perl script that allows you to add aliases to the mutt alias file and an abook addressbook at the same time. You just bind the script to "a" and use as normal. When you have finished with the mutt aliases it will ask you if you want to save the address to abook, if you do it will then prompt you for telephone numbers etc. for the person. If you think this is useful, it is available at: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~brianf/Setup/abookadd.pl.txt Enjoy, Brian. -- Brian Foley -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- www.maths.tcd.ie/~brianf Visit the Intervarsity Track Field web-site: www.iv2001.com
Re: Randomly change From: and signature using Macros
* Ailbhe Leamy [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] on [29-03-01] wrote: However, I obviously expressed myself badly. What I actually want is the ability to hit ^foo and have it change the From and Sig to a pre-determined one, presumably using a :set command. ^bar to change to a different one. I'd prefer to be able to do this _after_ composing a message, but will accept answers on how to do it in the index. Here is a solution, provided you use vim as your editor. If you don't then the general idea should allow you to create a similar function for your own editor. :map ;f /-- CRdGo-- ESC:r !/usr/games/fortuneCR/^From:CRC \From: Brian Foley [EMAIL PROTECTED]ESC :map ;g /-- CRdGo-- ESC:r !/usr/games/fortuneCR/^From:CRC \From: Brian Foley [EMAIL PROTECTED]ESC the "\" in front of the second lines of both macros are line continuation characters, if they dont work then just remove them and join the two lines before you put them in your .vimrc. These will toggle between two set From: lines while you are composing and randomise the sig. It could be easily adapted to use fixed sigs as well, just change the !/usr/games/fortune bit to some fixed text (or a unique sig file). Setting the Reply-To: would also be trivial. This assumes a couple of things: 1. you already have a sig in the file with a "-- " seperator 2. you have edit_headers turned on 3. you don't have any other lines beginning with "From:" I hope this helps. But please note that I havent acutally tested any of this. Brian. P.S. This has nothing to do with your post, but here is another cool vim trick that I discovered on this list a while back, and which may be of interest to the rest of the group. Put the following in your .vimrc.mail (or whatever .vimrc you source while editing mail): " Give mutt's window a proper header when composing let i = 1 let line = getline(i) while (match(line, "To:") == -1 line != "") let i = i + 1 let line = getline(i) endwhile if (line != "") let i = match(line, " ") + 1 let j = match(line, "") - 1 if j == -2 let j = match(line, ",") endif if j == -1 let j = strlen(line) endif let len = j - i let address = strpart(line, i, len) let title = "Mail to " . address let title = substitute(title, " ", " ", "g") let title = substitute(title, "\"", "", "g") execute 'set titlestring=' . title execute 'set iconstring=' . title else execute 'set titlestring=Mutt' execute 'set iconstring=Mutt' endif execute 'set titleold=Mutt' This will give a meaningful title to your xterm window when you are composing mail. If anybody has the time to improve it (eg when you send mail to mulitple people) I would be interested!!! -- Brian Foley -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- www.maths.tcd.ie/~brianf Visit the Intervarsity Track Field web-site: www.iv2001.com

But for most of the web-sites that I visit, w3m's handling of tables and frames is superior to that provided by "TRST". The lynx manual outlines some limitations with "TRST" (see below). I think in the end of the day, your choice of browser is down to personal preference, I was just making sure the other reader was aware of an alternate to lynx (many aren't). And dont forget "links", any other text-based readers out there, mutt-users.? Regards, Brian. Starting with version 2.8.3, Lynx renders some tables in tabular form. This tabular representation for simple tables (TRST) does not attempt to implement full support for any table model. Limitations are: * All data constituting a table row generally has to fit within the display width without inserting line breaks. * Cell contents have to be simple. In general, only inline markup is acceptable, no P, BR etc. (although BR may be ignored at the beginning of the first cell or at the end of the last cell of a row). * When tables are nested, only the innermost level is a candidate for tabular representation. * Most attributes are ignored, including borders, WIDTH, vertical alignment. -- Brian Foley -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- www.maths.tcd.ie/~brianf "They called me mad, and I called them mad, and damn them, they outvoted me." - Nathaniel Lee on being consigned to a mental institution, circa 17th c.
Keeping the [...]
Hello All, Does anybody know if there is a way to keep the lines such as: [-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 1 --] when you are printing or replying to a mail?
