I tried quotin the file name, but tat didn't help 2) can I modify the name of the attachment as it appears in the sent mail, e.g. suppose I'd like not 'fred.txt' to appear, but 'lola.txt' (but the attached file is still fred.txt). -- Johannes

M$ Exchange and Mailboxes
Hi, There's one thing left I didn't get working with M$ Exchange mutt: If I do a 'c' (change folder) and type '?' for getting a list of folders, mutt correctly displays a list of folders from the exchange server. The only problem is that I can't select one of these folders. The list looks like this: 1IMAP +Aufgaben/ 2IMAP +Edgar/ 3IMAP +INBOX/ ... If I now choose for example 'INBOX' and type return, I just get another folder list with one entry 1IMAP +../ but I'd rather like (and expect) mutt to open the specified folder. What do I have to do to get the desired behaviour ? -- Johannes

cygwin terminal messes up when loggin in from remote
Hi, when I use a cygwin terminal to log in to my linux box from windows, the terminal is set to cygwin. As there are no termcap entries for cygwin on my linux machine, I set the $TERM to 'ansi' which works nicely and gives correct output for 'ls', 'vim', 'slrn' for example.

how do I use mutt with an EXCHANGE server ?
Actually I can already READ mail by having
set imap_user=my name
set imap_pass=my pass
set imap_checkinterval=30
# bind index \Ca 'imap-fetch-mail'
set folder={EXCHANGE}
set spoolfile={EXCHANGE}INBOX

I'm using mutt as it comes with the latest cygwin on win2000.
