Thanks a mil! I have added this to my .bash_profile and it seems to work just fine! (and since we are performing magic here anyway, you wouldn't happen to know of a way to COMPOSE such characters, rather than just reading them?)

Display of non-ascii chars
Dear all, I have some issue with the displaying of non-ascii chars in my mail. I have to admit that I am not 100% sure that this is a mutt-issue or more shell or terminal related. Sorry if it is off-topic, I have tried all kinds of things to get this right. If an incoming mail contains accents or other non-ascii things, they seem to show up as '?' or even blanks within mutt. This is most annoying. For instance if I look at a 'From' line in a mail that displays perfectly in Evolution mail (contains two different 'e' accents), it shows: From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?H=E9l=E8ne_Corthals?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in 'less' on the terminal, and the same line in 'mutt' is displayed as: From: H?el?ne Corthals Again, I have tried to change char-sets in mutt and other settings that I thought might help, all to no avail. Any hints or suggestions are indeed much appreciated! -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
sourcing config options
-- Dear List - I have just upgraded mutt to 1.3.27 (from 1.2.5) and thought that this would be a good time to 'clean-up' my configuration files. For that I have used the nice examples found on: http://www.davep.org/mutt/muttrc/ This uses a small .muttrc which sources external files in the .mutt directory. One thing that I cannot seem to get to work is this: In my old .muttrc I had an entry: mailboxes `echo $HOME/mail/*.incoming` which made sure that all my mailbox folders that procmail fills (*.incoming) are checked for new mail. If I move this line to ~/.mutt/mailboxes which is sourced into the .muttrc, this no longer works. Is there some alternative, or do I just have to write out each and every mailbox? Thanks for any suggestions! -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

no 'message-hook'?
Dear List - I have found in some Spamassassin document the tip to include: message-hook "~h X-Spam-Status:.*tests=.+" "unignore X-Spam" in .muttrc, in order to show this particular spam-header. Unfortunately, my mutt version (1.2.5i) does not really like this. In the documentation which came with the package I cannot find it either. In the on-line docs it is listed. Am I right in assuming my version does not have this feature? Is there some alternative I can use? Thanks a lot! -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi David - thanks for your help. First experiments indicate that is does not work. My mailbox comes on with an error about the folder hook. I'll go back to the section 4.2 as you have indicated, but I do find that a difficult read. (I am one of those who wanted to show that also non full-time programmers had an alternative to MS products ;-) Thanks again! -- Erik van der Meulen
selective deletion old mailboxes
Dear all - I would like to see if the following would be possible: Currently I clean up my mail folders from old posts by having: folder-hook mutt.incoming "push 'D~d >14d\n'" entries in .muttrc. I would like to add a feature so that messages which are flagged 'important' with the SHIFT-f key, will remain untouched. That way I do not have to keep two folders (mutt.incoming and mutt.keeps) for every list I am on, and more important, have to populate the second before my mail gets dumped. Any thoughts on this much appreciated! -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Help, my messages are bouncing!
Dear Mutt users, panic has just struck! I have just started to receive bounces from messages I have sent. This has not happened before and just now I got two. I do not think that my configuration has changed in any way (sure, that's what they all say). I attach headers of both mails (different hosts). They both seem to originate from my alias file, not sure if this is relevant. Hope some one can give me a clue to what's wrong here...

Ultimate .muttrc

Rewriting .muttrc for IMAP support
Currently I am using Mutt as local client and from remote systems with
the aid of a Telnet session. Works great. Now I would like to switch to
IMAP for remote access and I am struggling with my .muttrc because I
would like to retain functionality.
My situation:
Mutt 1.2i om Debian Linux 2.2
Mail spool in: /var/spool/mail/erik
Mail folders in: /home/erik/mail/
In my current .muttrc I have:
set folder="~/mail"
mailboxes /var/spool/mail/erik
mailboxes `echo $HOME/mail/*.incoming`
This allows my to cycle mailboxes with '=' and also gives me signals
when mail arrives in any of my mailboxes which ends with '.incoming'.
I have tried numerous ways to include reference to my IMAP server, but
never seem to get it as I used to do.
set folder="{mail.server}mail"
set spoolfile= {mail.server}
mailboxes {mail.server}/var/spool/mail/erik
mailboxes {mail.server}`echo $HOME/mail/*.incoming`
I have not been able to find a lot of documentation w.r.t. IMAP config
and hope someone on this list can provide a bit of help or some
pointers.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Help! IMAP!/Mailbox Vunarable
I have tried to do the same:
mailboxes {mail.avondel.nl}foo etc
Now I get an error:
Mailbox vunarable must have 1777 protection
If I do a chmod 1777 on ~/mail, (I think its open to the world) the
message does not go away.
Any ideas?

pgp-encryptself no longer works
Dear List, since I have upgraded my (Debian Linux) Mutt to version 1.2i I have a slight problem with PGP5. The setting pgp_encryptself results in an error: unknown variable. Consequently, I am no longer able to read my own messages in sent-item forlders. I have read about the changes in the recent Mutt upgrade, and other than this have been able to get things working quite well. I have not found any references to a syntax-change in the documentation. Any suggestions are most welcome. -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
