pdf attachments opened in external viewer
Hello, somehow, I got it working, that pdf attachments are opened in external viewer (evince). That is very nice. But, mutt waits for evince to close, before I can continue working in mutt. This prevents me from opening multiple pdf attachments and leave them open, while continue working in mutt. I guess, I would have to add '&' somewhere, so that evince is opened in background ? But where?

macro does not work when mailbox opened read-only
Hello, I have custom macro "q" for exit: macro index q ";" but when I open mailbox read-only, I am not able to exit from mutt: Mailbox is read-only. the key "q' does not work. is there any workaround to solve this?
too many useless warnings
Hello, when I press key that is not bound, I get following warning in the lower left corner: Key is not bound. Press '?' for help. this is actually a helpful warning/notification that tells me what is going on. Without it, I would be left wondering why my action is not being executed. However, when I press PageDown repeatedly, and land at the end of the page, I get a warning: You are on the last page. In my opinion, this is absolutely useless and superfluous warning. Unlike the first case, this is just bombarding me with useless information. I can see the key is working all right, I have just pressed it one too many times. Can these things be configured / disabled ?

I would like to make following change to the last column, where message
size is shown:
1) if message size is less than 0.1M, show empty column
2) if message size is more than 0.1M show message size, but always in
megabytes (not kilobytes)
can somebody please advise how to do this?

One way to check/confirm that is by pressing '?' while there and checking what the status line says. It should say something like: Help for . (35%) yes, the is called "browser" in my case also.

custom macro for "q" key
Hello, I have "q" key bound to "quit", and then I have custom macro bound to "c": macro index,pager c "?" When I start mutt, I automatically land in "Inbox", and "q" exits. When I press "c" anywhere in mutt, I get list of my folders, and can go into them. When inside any of the folder, "q" also exists mutt. I would like to change the behavior of "q", so that pressing "q" when I am inside any of the folders, mutt goes back to the list of folders (same as if I had pressed "c"). And only if I am already in the list of folders, then "q" exists mutt. What I want is similar to "q" behavior when in inbox, and composing message. When I cancel the compose with "q", I don't exit mutt, but instead land in Inbox again. I would like to keep that behavior. I guess, I will need to create custom macro for "q" ? Can anybody suggest how to do it? thank you,

Those messages come from a part of the code which isn't compiled when configured with --disable-pgp. Check the output of mutt -v and look for -CRYPT_BACKEND_CLASSIC_PGP and -CRYPT_BACKEND_GPGME in the output. This is strange. I have compiled mutt with "--disable-gpgme", and I can see that it is no longer linked with the gpg library: $ ldd /usr/bin/mutt linux-vdso.so.1 libncursesw.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.6 libtinfo.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.6 libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 But "mutt -v" still shows the CRYPT_BACKEND variables: $ /usr/bin/mutt -v | grep CRYPT_BACKEND +CRYPT_BACKEND_CLASSIC_PGP +CRYPT_BACKEND_CLASSIC_SMIME -CRYPT_BACKEND_GPGME and I am sure I am invoking the same mutt, the one that I compiled. do you understand why? thank you,

I have not changed anything in the sourcecode. I have only disabled some compilation options. Now when I open any message in mutt, I get: Could not create temporary file! and strace shows me it is trying to use /var/tmp/ any idea what happened?

disable gpg in mutt
Hello, how can I completely disable gpg integration in mutt ? If message happens to be encrypted, I would like mutt to simply show me the source (encrypted). I thought, I don't have gpg configured, but when I wanted to compose new message, this happened: Recall postponed message? ([yes]/no): Enter PGP passphrase: Decryption failed. I don't know how that happened. I am using gpg on the same account, but through Thunderbird client. I have Thunderbird set up locally on my laptop with gpg, and I am using mutt to read messages remotely on the server. That is why I don't want to use gpg in mutt, so that I don't have to type my password on the remote server. anyway, how can I use mutt unaware of gpg ? thanks,
