Re: trouble with my_hdr and $format_flowed

2022-08-31 Thread David Lowry-Duda

I have a pretty weird way of composing replies and new messages: I like
to be able to detach from the new message window. So I compose in a
separate tmux session.


If you compose directly in mutt+vim without composing in a separate tmux 
window, does it work? (I would assume so, as I use mutt+vim and format 
flowed works fine).


I don't quite understand how your composing system works well enough to 
have a more meaningful comment.

For some time I had muttrc set up so that a copy of every messge

For some reason, it ceased doing so. I see no line in my muttrc that
defines an address for CC in the mutt header. I would like to restore
that line, but have not been able to find the syntax to do so.


This can be done using `my_hdr`, for example

```
my_hdr cc: an.em...@address.com
```

Instead of having Mutt invoke your MTA, you could have it invoke a
script that asks you if you really want to send that email, and that
only invokes your MTA if you answer affirmatively.

You could perhaps modify msmtp-queue to do this, for instance.


That's interesting. Could you say a bit more about how one might do 
that?

Threading is amazing, it's true. It's something that mutt does correctly 
and the big webmails don't do correctly.

Re: Location of sample muttrc and mailcap files, and correct names of Gmail folders

On my machine, sample muttrc files are located in 
/usr/share/doc/mutt/examples. There are a couple of muttrc files and a 
sample mailcap file there.

If you have the source, then there are samples of both in the contrib 
directory, and a longer sample muttrc in the doc directory.

I believe they are of the form "+[Gmail]/Trash", for example. But I 
think you might get by with just setting the spoolfile to be "+INBOX".

Good luck!
