Using Gmail IMAP with Mutt
Hello List, I have seen muttrc files with both folder names of gmail, Gmail, and Gmail and even GoogleMail and varients. I think what happens if you use on that Google doesn't know about is that gmail makes that folder for you and does what you are asking for, so if you've said save drafts to a GMail (capital G and capital M) folder, it does that, if you say save drafts to Gmail (capital G small m) folder it does that for you. Now I have several folders and they're not the same. What does gmail really want? Gmail or GMail or something different? Thanks in advance for your replies and help. I'm sorry I'm confused but it is confusing. David Ring signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Wordwrap of long lines
It seems I'm either getting emails with long lines now all of a sudden or I did something to my configuration. I'm seeing lines with + at the left hand side and reading the screen it doesn't make sense because some of the message is missing, which I can see by going into the editor and looking at the message. I would rather just see the message directly with lines wrapped. How do I do this, or is it a key sequence? I could not find this in "help". Regards, David signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Console HTML view with picture using W3M or other
Hello Tavis, I love that name! It reminds me of beautiful music, or is it the Ormandy last name. I cannot find an "av" package what Jude suggested. You, Tavis, mentioned adding to mailcap this line: image/png; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal I'm guessing - and I realize that's gotten me into the deep fryer more than once... that you can make more lines in mailcap based on that line for different picture formats -- stop me if you hear hot oil bubbling and David screaming... image/jpg; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal image/jpeg; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal image/gif; img2sixel -- %s | less -r; nametemplate=%s.png; needsterminal I find a package called "libsixel" in Slackware and I'm installing that. Thanks and say "Hello to Eugene Ormandy" he was a great favorite of a friend of mine who was born in Budapest.

Location of sample muttrc and mailcap files, and correct names of Gmail folders
Hello Mutt-Users, Today for some reason, mutt stopped working, it needed a control-c to interrupt then continue, I finally got it working, I don't remember how, but probably I had an error in my muttrc file. Where are sample files for muttrc located? Where are sample mailcap located? Also and this seems to be the initial cause of my calamity, what is the correct names of the imap folders in gmail? Some of my muttrc files have GMail others have Gmail with only the first letter capitalized. This was causing a problem because I started having all sorts of extra folders appear in my gmail imap account with names like Gmail and GMail, I cannot give you specifics because I have finally eliminated them all. I use settings in my muttrc to retreive my imap because I had tried offline-imap or some sort of program and I lost a bunch of email doing so - or so I think. So I'm scared of doing that again. Best wishes to all, David Ring signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Mutt inside emacs
Hello, I am really happy except for one little thing. I found out how to get mutt working inside emacs / emacspeak. The only problem is that I cannot press q to quit, I have to quit emacs instead by using Control C Control X (emacs C-c C-x) I'll go to the emacspeak list or emacs list but I thought I'd ask here first. I'll paste my .emacs file below if anyone is interested in this. If I wasted your time, I beg forgiveness, I am just so happy that I have mutt talking to me inside emacs! But does anyone know how I can exit gracefully? I run emacs and press Shift-F2 and mutt runs!
