pretty-print mutt emails
What is the recommended way to pretty-print mutt emails? I found a sourceforge perl script called muttprint but that was last updated in 2008, and I was wondering what folks here recommended? Thanks!

Thank you! Sorry if I did not follow your answer, but my question is not about adding or using aliases, I know how to do that, but how to automagically add a proper domain name to some userid while sending email. As I mentioned if I type joe in the To: prompt, it expands to joe@localhost. I want this to expand to a detailed j...@yahoo.com (where that @yahoo.com is added by default since i do not have joe as an alias in my address book.). Does this clarify?

Re: question/suggestion
So, in my opinion, communication is most effective if the recipient easily comprehends what is conveyed to him/her. I suspect most recipients of our e-mails do not know much about mutt except that you likely get it from a place other than a breeder. So, [mutt-users@mutt.org: Email Subject] makes a lot of sense if the recipient has a clue what the first part means. Most of my recipients get a forward using mutt likely only from me. So, the original email address' import (which I think is a great idea) is lost. Hence I was suggesting putting in: FW Frm mutt-users@mutt.org: Email Subject Yes, it takes a few more characters but brings the benefit of greater clarity. Another option is to drop the [ ] and instead put in a >> at the very beginning. Might address the concern on adding characters. So, So, [mutt-users@mutt.org: Email Subject] could become: >>mutt-users@mutt.org: Email Subject In the header, would be clearer? Would this be a better default? Thanks again!
question/suggestion
When I foward my mutt-composed email, I have something like the following, which I believe is the default behaviour: [mutt-users@mutt.org: Email subject] which I think is very nice because it gives the recipient an idea of whether the originator of this email is someone s/he should even bother reading from. However, most e-mailers are not mutt, so most people probably have no idea what this means. May I suggest the following default that clarifies better what is going on, or something like that, in the subject line? [FW: from mutt-users@mutt.org: Email subject] Thoughts? Thanks a bunch! GT.

Good that you explained your method of the connection. And did you verify that you can reach localhost at port 25 with certainty? You can verify it by using `telnet': $ telnet localhost 25 and if there is banner then you have SMTP server forwarded to local host. Ports under 1024 can be forwarded only as `root' as they are considered privileged. If you cannot reach the port 25 on localhost try forwarding it to port 1025 and then dispatch to that port. -- Jean So, I do not know if I can do this, but I can send email by specifically including the smtp with port 25. I dont really need it for anything else. It is quite likely that I am not understanding the import of your question. All I do is: sudo ssh -L 25:mailhub:25 username@your_server And then, configuring 'localhost' as my smtp server on port 25 gets my mail sent directly forward through the SSH link. Thanks!
Re: using mutt with postfix and localhost:25
Thank you for this. OK, so you are correct in that doing nothing works on my office machine but not when I connect to it remotely to deliver my mail using ssh -L etc and am using that server to deliver my email.

If postfix is configured correctly, and mail submitted via localhost:25 does get delivered, then the default value for mutt's sendmail parameter should also work. What do you mean when you say you are unable to send mail using postfix? Sending mail using postfix means using a mail user agent like mutt which by default submits mail for delivery by invoking postfix's sendmail-compatible /usr/sbin/sendmail program to submit mail to postfix's mail queue, after which postfix will deliver it. What acually goes wrong when you try to send email from mutt with the default setting for the sendmail parameter? > This setting in Muttrc works for me: > > set smtp_url = "smtp://localhost:25" This is intended for using a remote smarthost to send mail through. It shouldn't be necessary for localhost. It works, but it's probably slightly slower because it has to perform the SMTP dialogue. If postfix can deliver mail submitted by mutt this way, it should also be able to deliver mail submitted by mutt the default way. cheers, raf

Re: using mutt with postfix and localhost:25
Thanks very much! I am unable to send mail using postfix. However, the same setting makes it work for sylpheed when I simply specify localhost:25 in the SMTP server so I think that the postfix is set up all right, perhaps. Is there a way to explicitly put localhost with port 25 in the send mail? Btw, I have not actually managed to set up two accounts with mutt, that is my next target after resolving this. Thanks!

The typical way to submit mail locally is via /usr/sbin/sendmail. That's the default in mutt (and probably all other MUAs). The explicit default is: set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi" You shouldn't have to do anything to make this happen. It's the default. Technically, postfix's sendmail binary doesn't use SMTP (it runs postdrop to add the message to postfix's mail queue) but that shouldn't matter. It's functionally equivalent to using SMTP on localhost:25, so you shouldn't need to care. But, if you really have a reason to avoid the default, more efficient, already working thing, and make absolutely sure that you are directly connecting to localhost:25, you should search for a different sendmail-compatible program that does SMTP to localhost:25, install it, and then set mutt's sendmail variable to refer to that: In ~/.muttrc: set sendmail="/path/to/other/sendmail -oem -oi" But it sounds very much as though you really don't need to do this. It sounds like you just need the local mail server to deliver mail sent from mutt, and if you have postfix installed locally and configured OK, that will just happen. cheers, raf

Re: displaying html links inside mutt
Thank you for this, too. So, the problem appears to me to show up whenever there is no text/plain but only text/html then i get on the screen: [-- Autoview using w3m -I 'utf-8' -T text/html -dump --] [] Review your proof STA4_EV_STA4416.. ... and down below, I have: [] but none of this have an actual link associated with them. However, if I save the html and use w3m on it, I do see the link. So, the problem is that somehow, perhaps in my call to w3m using mutt, I lose the link. I suspect that these sorts of emails that I have a problem with are from automated setups. I also have issues with surveymonkey and other things like that. As an aside, is it possible to forward html messages (that only arrive as text/html) as attachments? Forwarding incorporates them as text and does not carry forward the hidden link. Many thanks!

For example, if the sender of the message wrote some text with a link, it may be translated to "some text" in the html version of the message, and just as "some text" in the plain text version. So, if you have mutt configured to show you the plain text version of multipart messages, the URLs may not be in there at all.

# My solution is not really what you want like to open links in mutt directly
but solution with `elinks' does stay in the console mode until you wish to open
the link in external graphical browser.
#Another solution inside of virtual terminal is from:
https://lukas.zapletalovi.com/2013/07/hidden-gems-of-xterm.html
#Open URL
#Best feature ever. I waited for years for this one. There is a new

#XTerm*translations: #override Shift : exec-formatted("xdg-open '%t'",
PRIMARY) select-start() select-end()
#in ~/.Xdefaults
# and the XTerm solution may not be so functional.
Thank you for this, I like xterm but for the fact that it does not have tabs,
however, I was not able to get the above to work. I don't quite understand what
it means to have a PRIMARY selection in the context of the links. All I would
like is to see the existence and the URL of the link, and to forward it when
needed.
#Also to mention is `urlscan':
#Description : Mutt and terminal url selector
#URL : https://github.com/firecat53/urlscan
I see, thank you for this. I note that it is available for my distribution, but
this also requires an active press of \cb on my part. I want to notice when
there is a link, hidden or otherwise (this last is not a problem). Any
suggestions on that?
#And then there are other terminal emulators that will recognize URL and

Re: displaying html links inside mutt
Jean,
Thanks for this, too!
I see, so I have the default set to w3m and I use:
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput; print =
select-browser %s; nametemplate=%s.html
where select-browser is a perl script, perhaps from some members of this group.
So, I like w3m quite a bit but it appears that it may not show these hidden
links, at least in the way I have been using it.
I will try with the other options mentioned in this e-mail and the other ones.
Thank you very much again.

I know a solution that works well:
1) Make HTML attachments to be open with `elinks' browser; this is
good enough to open links in console mode; but then follow to open
up links with external browser;
In ~/.mailcap I have following:
text/html; elinks -force-html '%s';
2) Go into setup in `elinks' with `o' to options, "Document" then "URI
Passing" and then press `a' to add new option, you may name it like
"External" press `e' on that option and enter your favorite
browser, I have something like "iceweasel %c" -- which means if I
wish to open the link with external browser, I would use option
under menu "Link" -> "Pass link URI to external command";
3) To make it respond quickly on the key, go to "Setup" -> "Keybinding
manager" -> "Main mapping" -> "Pass link URI to external command"
and press ENTER, choose your keybinding, I have ";" for example;
4) When you wish to view HTML attachment, then you press enter in
attachment menu and `elinks' browser will open. You can read the
HTML document and browse with `elinks' the Internet. If you wish to
open the link in external browser, you press the key binding, in
this example it was ";"

Thanks, I think that I have tracked the source of my problem. Fedora 33 (my favorite distribution, which however, has not updated mutt for aeons) had an update for vim recently, and it is possible that this brought in changes. Removing vim which I do not use "solves" this issue, however, I have found that the new vim has different colors for e-mail addresses/links etc in the editor which I like so I will have to see if I can make vi display different colors for links, e-mail addresses, indentations, etc while typing the e-mail in vi mode.

remove restriction on line length in mutt compose
Hi, I appear to have hit some key while using compose in mutt, and the result is that I end on a new line after a certain length of characters in a new line. What controls this? It is not a vi issue because the editor does no wrap after even a very long, as used to be the case until earlier today. Thanks in advance!
Re: display images inline in xterm (while using mutt)
Thanks very much! I know copr, I am not sure that that site is supported
though, not having been updated since Fedora 28 (so for over two years). I will
see if I can contact the packager.
Thanks again!

img2sixel is available on fedora, but I'm not sure from which package and I
don't understand fedora's packaging options. It's not part of w3m for sure. You
could check here though:
https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel#using-package-managers. There's something
there about a "dnf copr" command.

Re: display images inline in xterm (while using mutt)
Thank you for this, and my apologies for top-posting. I have w3m installed but
it does not have img2sixel in it (I use Fedora). Could I use w3m (on something
else) instead in the code that you have provided?

This is not an answer to your exact question, but here's how I view
images in mutt. Note that by default it prompts me for inline or
external viewing, but I can insert -i or -e in the mailcap entry to
always use one or the other. The part that's most related to your
question is that I use img2sixel for the rendering. img2sixel comes with
libsixel. IIRC w3m uses libsixel internally, so img2sixel is a quicker
path to success using the same underlying tooling if your input is
definitely an image.
Sixel is a technique developed by DEC to embed color bitmapped image
data in a VT320/VT400 device control string (DCS) stream of six-bit
character data. It's probably the most widely supported technique today
for inline images in terminal emulators, although some terminals such as
iTerm support their own bitmap streaming formats as well.
Unfortunately I haven't found any such technique that works well over
tmux or screen. There's a thread about this topic on the tmux github
issues page, concluding that it's not worth the developers' time to
support.

error in displaying pdf
Hi,
I have a strange issue in that my pdf attachments (or at least some of them)
are getting their names converted to something like:
'=?utf-8?Q?efficient=5Fkkmeans.pdf?=' in mutt.
I don't think that this happened before. As a result, this is not being
identified as a pdf and my mailcap file is unable to open it.
Here is my mailcap entry:
application/x-pdf; mutt_bgrun "${PDFVIEWER:-zathura}" %s;
test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; nametemplate=%s.pdf; description="PDF Document"
application/x-pdf; pdftotext -htmlmeta %s - | w3m -dump -T
text/html; nametemplate=%s.pdf; copiousoutput
I am not sure if there are other file types which also have this issue but I
was wondering how to I get around this? It may well be a consequence of the
mailer that my correspondents are using but it certainly gets identified
correctly in other (perhaps less exact) mailers.
TIA!

is there no difference between \CN and \Cn for use in the sidebar?
HI, I have the following set up in my .muttrc: # Move the highlight to the previous mailbox bind index,pager \Cp sidebar-prev # Move the highlight to the next mailbox bind index,pager \Cn sidebar-next # Open the highlighted mailbox bind index,pager \Co sidebar-open # Move the highlight to the previous page bind index,pager \CU sidebar-page-up # Move the highlight to the next page bind index,pager \CD sidebar-page-down # Move the highlight to the previous mailbox containing new, or flagged, mail. bind index,pager \CP sidebar-prev-new # Move the highlight to the next mailbox containing new, or flagged, mail. bind index,pager \CN sidebar-next-new # Toggle the visibility of the Sidebar. bind index,pager \CV sidebar-toggle-visible So, when I use \Cn, I seem to end on to the next mailbox containing new or flagged mail and not the next mailbox. By, \Cn, I mean Ctrl+n (lower case n). Same when i use \CN. Is my specification incorrect? Many thanks!

Re: is it possible to go to the folders via the sidebar?
My apologies for answering my own question, but I have found the bug: there is an extraneous \" and it should be the following: mailboxes `find ~/Maildir/* -type d | grep -v "tmp\|new\|cur" | sed 's|~/Maildir/|=\"|g' | sed 's|$||g' | tr '\n' ' '` It works now, and the problems have also been resolved.

set up folder-specifc send mail options
Hi, I don't know if this is possible but I want to be able to set up folder-specific send-mail. So, for e-mails in the mutt and other mailing list folders, when I send e-mail, I want to use this e-mail address (say send...@email.com). For e-mails in the family folder, when I send e-mail I want to use another e-mail address (say send...@email.com). For other folders, I want to use the default work address (send...@work.com), with the option of having a choice of what I use. How do I set this up? Sorry if my question is not clear. Thanks in advance! GT
Re: is it possible to have two options for viewing html mail?
Thank you for this!This works beautifully for now, and I have made a list of my
browsers with it: w3m, dillo, midori, firefox and chromium in that order.

I think that would be best, so that you can decide
whether or not you want to manually select a browser.
By only invoking this script for "printing" the
attachment, you can still access the easier default
behaviour when viewing the attachment. But it probably
means you can't print the attachment, unless you add
that as one of the choices.
> Is the script in mutt or a bash/python/perl/etc script?
It would be a separate script referred to in your .mailcap
file. Here's a sample implementation:
In your ~/.mailcap (or whatever your mailcap_path is set to):
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput; print =
select-browser %s; nametemplate=%s.html
Attached is the command select-browser which would need
to be in your $PATH. Note that it doesn't support all
of the % expansions that mailcap(5) supports. It only
handles the %s filename place holder, but that's
probably fine for web browsers. Adding support for all
the others would make its appearance in the mailcap
file a lot uglier.
cheers,

Rather than invoking actual browsers directly, you
could write a script that presented you with a list of
options, and you enter your choice. That way, you could
have more that two options. If always having to select
a browser manually is too inefficient, you could
continue to invoke w3m when viewing html, and invoke
this menu-based browser chooser when "printing" html.
cheers,

Thanks, where would this option be presented? While I press "p"? Is the script
in mutt or a bash/python/perl/etc script?

is it possible to go to the folders via the sidebar?
I am new to mutt, and have sidebar enabled and a list of my folders to the left. I can go down the list of the folders, using my keyboard. But I can not figure out how to get into them directly (after highlighting them). Is there a way? Right now, I am reduced to typing c -> =foldername and then going to the list. Kind of makes the sidebar not at all useful for me so I am thinking that there must be a better value for the sidebar folders. Btw, after using mutt for two 2 days, it has been a lot of fun. (The initial frustration has worn out.) Thanks to all the developers and also the members of the users list for their very helpful answers and directions!

This solution does exactly what I want. I wanted to use midori, so I replaced
qutebrowser with midori and it works.
Is it possible to have multiple options? So, in case midori did not cut it, I
would use firefox instead?
TIA!

Lots of people send me mail in HTML format (even though I do not like it). I
have the following set up in my .mailcap:

so it converts things using w3m more or less okay, however, I am wondering is

where w3m is not enough?
My thanks in advance!

Thank you for this.I also set Bcc because it gives me an indication that the message actually went out/through. How do I specify this hook? Thank you again! GT --- End Message ---

See http://www.mutt.org/mail-lists.html#dmarc To remove this message, please change the domain policy to p=none or p=quarantine.--- Begin Message --- My aoologies for the earlier attempts at sending e-mail. But I am new to mutt (as of today) and do not have my mailer set up and trying to get started. I hope this goes through in plain-text format. My set up is as follows: I use fetchmail and procmail to get my mail delivered to Maildir mailboxes. So,my mail is inside folders in ~/Maildir in the following manner: ~/Maildir/inbox ~/Maildir/sent ~/Maildir/drafts ~/Maildir/work/ ~/Maildir/work/user1 ~/Maildir/work/user2 ~/Maildir/bills ~/Maildir/family etc. I want to show this tree on a side-pane. So, my initial attempt at .muttrc has the following: modified from mutt & Maildir Mini-HOWTO set mbox_type=Maildir set folder="~/Maildir" mailboxes `echo -n "+ "; find ~/Maildir -type d -name "*" -printf "+'%f' "` However, when I launch mutt, I get nothing and after a lot of blank stares on-screen, I get: Mutt:/var/spool/mail/itsme [Msgs: 0 Inc: 20](date/date)(all)-- I was wondering if I could get some advice and help on how to do this. I plan on sending mail through postfix (localhost:25). My apologies for my questions and thank you for your help! GT --- End Message ---
