oddity with an attachment
Hi! Odd thing with an attachment, can someone advise? My wife send me mail from aol.com with an attachment. when I received the mail the attachment's filename was gibberish, NOT what she viewed when she sent it: Content-Type: application/pdf Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="=?utf-8?B?Q09WSUQxOV9OZXdzbGV0dGVyX1Nlbmlvcl9DZW50ZXJfT3BlcmF0aW9uLnBkZg==?=" Content-ID: When viewed in mutt (with "v") it was that same name (though truncated). when saved to disk it retained that weird name. I had her resend it to my gmail account where it showed the correct human-readable name. Is there something I can do in mutt to deal with attachments with garbled names? (I'm gussing it's mime--or other--encoded and Mutt didn't decode it for me.) Thanks in advance!

I don't know about the number, but it IS possible to show a flag
in the index indicating the presence of one or more attachments...
I set mine that way, but don't remember how. I'll take a quick
gander at my muttrc and maybe it'll jump out at me...
# the default format
#set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s"
# this one shows attachments
#set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L %?X?{%2X}&%4c? %s"
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20L %?X?^&%4c? %s"
OK, that last one is what sets the attachment indicator. Looks like
it is the "^&" out near the end.
Prolly a good idea to look it up in the mutt doc before butchering
yours, though.

clearing flags on all mails in a mailbox?
Hi! I've got a mailbox with quite a few msgs in it, some I've never read but don't want to delete. All those now have a status flag of "O", so if I enter that mailbox when there are no "N" messages in it, mutt goes to the first "O" mail. One way I can think of to solve this is to clear all the flags, since in this case I don't care aobut the flags value. It looks as if Mutt has facilities that could be used for that, but I haven't figured out how to apply them. Can someone show me how to do that? Thanks in advance.

text vs html
Hi all! I'm seeing this strange thing which while no biggie, is a nuisance. If I get an email with both text and html sections, according to my /etc/mailcap it seems to be getting processed like this: text/html; lynx -dump -vikeys -raw %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html So, when someone sends email from outlook that contains a smiley face, it displays a "J" when viewing that mail. (apparently because outlook encodes a font change to some other font where "J" is a smiley face.) it seems to be following this recipe and decoding the html part even though there is a perfectly readable text part, containing a :-). does the order of statements in mailcap matter? should I change this: text/html; lynx -dump -vikeys -raw %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html text/plain; copiousoutput to this: text/plain; copiousoutput text/html; lynx -dump -vikeys -raw %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html Or is th is problem just because Outlook is broken and instead of issuing a font change should just embed the proper Unicode character?

So, I'm wondering... with your patch is the message actually deleted
from the folder it was copied from, or does it stay there with a $

some attachments disappearing
Hi all! This problem has been going on for some time, but it has lately become an irritant: some emails in which photos or other images are sent arrive here with no such item, neither attached, nor inline. I haven't been able to reproduce it by sending myself emails from my office, or gmail, etc, so I don't know what is funny about those emails. If I ask the sender to resend that mail to my gmail (or office) account, the image is there. I am using milter to run clamav on incoming and outgoing emails but that is a rather recent addition (loast 6 months, more or less) and the problem has long-preceded that change. I'm using Mutt 1.5.21 on Centos-7. Anyone got any good ideas? thanks! -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -- Philippians 4:13 ---

Here's a shellscript someone posted some time back, I just began using
it the other day (when, after an OS upgrade the hack I"d been using for
years decided to no longer work). I would expect it's a lot more
lightweight than a perl script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# from mutt mailing list...
{
typeset afile
set -A allsigs `cd ~/.sigs;ls -a sig[0-9]*`
(( afile = $RANDOM % ${#allsigs[*]} ))
cat ~/.sigs/${allsigs[$afile]}
}
Drop this in a file somewhere, make it executable, name it 'randisg' (or
whatever you like, really), set up the signature in mutt to be
"/path/to/randsig |" and voila!
Of course, you also need a set of files in a directory (in this case it's
"/.sigs") each of which contains one signature.

long delay while downloading headers
Gentlepersons: I've used mutt for years to read mail on my local system. But just recently I have, for the very first time, used it to read mail on remote systems (such as news.opera.no, etc). I find that in the example of Opera, there are over 7000 messages in the news group they are hosting that I am reading. My newsrc file for that server shows all but the last few as having been read, but it still takes several minutes to download ALL the headers whenever I start up Tin and point it at that server. This seems strange, why is it downloading all 7000+ headers when I've already read (or skipped) nearly all the articles? Is there a way to make it grab only the ones that are new since I last read that group? Thanks! Fred PS: I was trying to look around on tin.org to see if I could find an answer without having to bug you all, but there seem to be a lot of dead/broken links on that site, as of 11/13, anyway, so I couldn't find anything helpful to me. -- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." -- Matthew 7:21 (niv) -

Mailing Lists problem
Hi guys! i've been using mutt for quite a while now and mostly it does what I need, but my needs are pretty modest, I don't stress it a lot. I'm subscribed to several mailing lists, and have procmail set up to filter them out to their own folders, and the appropriate settings in my .muttrc so that when replying to a message in one of those lists' folders, I can use 'L' to do it. I recently discovered, however, that when I'm in the folder for the ncurses mailing list, that hitting 'L' results in the message: No mailing lists found! which I can't figure out. it's not configured any differently (that I can see) than other lists in which 'L' DOES work. Here's (what I think to be) the appropriate excerpt from my .muttrc (line-wrapped for legibility): lists redhat-list apollo-list mutt-users linux-tape bug-ncurses-request ldescent linux-diald tin-users mailboxes ! =redhat-list =mutt-users =linux-tape =ldescent =spam.incoming =admin.incoming =block.incoming =bulk.incoming =ncurses-request =linux-diald =tin-users I'd appreciate it if someone could/would tell me what dumb thing I've done wrong.

Yeah they are really annoying. What's even worse is the air heads who think it's really cool that they can send pretty formatted text as email, without thinking or caring that they are making it harder for anybody who doesn't use their own proprietary mail programs. I tend to get stiff-necked and tell them i can't read their mail, it's got some kind of "strange junk" in it,... can they please configure their mailer to send plain text? At work we use Lotus Notes for email.
