Re: Assigning multiple labels (X-Label) to a message
I use multiple space separated labels using only one X-label field to locally to classify my emails. I limit them with ~y and made some scripts to assign/edit them.

You could do it interactively (for testing purposes) by typing : (colon) followed by the macro definition above, i.e., :macro index Ys... by making a text file whose content is the macro definition and sourcing it from mutt :source filename.txt or by adding it to you ~/.mutt/muttrc file so that it is loaded automatically on the next mutt startup.

Re: Invoking an alternative command on a MIME part
What I do in similar situations is pipe the attachment to a helper (I
call it muttfilter) that accepts as first argument a file name, as
second argument a command name and as further arguments any options to
that command. The helper copies the attachment to the filename, runs
the command with all its arguments and with the file name as the last
argument. Thus, to open a password protected pdf from the attachments
menu I would type
|muttfilter mydocument.pdf xpdf -upw mysecretpassword
and to edit a picture with gimp I would type
|muttfilter mypicture.jpg gimp
For temporal filenames I always use the same name (rem.pdf or
rem.jpg), so new files replace old ones.
The muttfilter script is
#!/bin/bash
cat - > $1
$2 ${@:3} $1
Hope it's helpful.
Best regards,
Luis

An advantage of using X-Label is that when messages are synchronized between computers (I use mbsync) the labels are automatically synchronized also.

Dear Marco,
Please find attached my perl script. You should have the packages
Term::Readline (I use Term::Readline::Gnu) and File::Copy. It takes
two arguments, an action and the name of the file with the message to
edit. The action should be one of menu, edit, append, remove, show,
clean, list (in practive I only use 'edit'). If a change is performed,
the message is replaced by the edited version. To use the programs I
made some mutt macros. The relevant part of my muttrc file is:
# labels
# remember original editor.
# Might not be what you want if editor is changed afterwards
set my_editor="$editor"
macro index y "set editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel.pl edit\"\n\
\
set editor=\"$my_editor\"\n" "Edit labels"
macro index YE "set editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel.pl edit\"\n\
\
set editor=\"$my_editor\"\n" "Edit labels"
macro index YM "set editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel.pl menu\"\n\
\
set editor=\"$my_editor\"\n" "Loop over label menu"
macro index YA "set editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel.pl append\"\n\
\
set editor=\"$my_editor\"\n" "Append labels"
macro index YR "set editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel.pl remove\"\n\
\
set editor=\"$my_editor\"\n" "Remove labels"
macro index YS "set editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel.pl show\"\n\
\
set editor=\"$my_editor\"\n" "Show labels"
macro index YC "set editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel.pl clean\"\n\
\
set editor=\"$my_editor\"\n" "Clean labels"
macro index YL "set editor=\"~/.mutt/editlabel.pl list\"\n\
\
set editor=\"$my_editor\"\n" "List labels"
macro index YX "!~h X-Label:" "Limit to unlabelled"
macro index YY "~h X-Label:" "Limit to labelled"
macro index \Cy "~y " "Limit view to label"
#show labels in index
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L %?M?(#%03M)&(%5l)? %?y?(%.20Y) ?%s"
#display labels in messages
unignore X-Label:
##
In practice I only use
YX to display only unlabelled (i.e., unprocessed messages),
YY to only show processed messages (afterwards I use T to tag those
messages and move all of them to mbox)
y to insert/add/modify space separated labels
\Cy to display only messages with a given label
The program has history and completion to ease label edition. To that
end, I use a file .mutt/Xlabels to store all the previously used
labels.
I use this system under debian linux using perl 5.18 (haven't upgraded
it) under perlbrew.

Luis

> What is mutt's counterpart feature to gmail's archive? what is used here? > I don't want to delete messages, but I want to have them locally searchable, > like gmail can do. > What is the best practice? Just to move to another folder? It might not be the 'best' but I made a perl program to edit X-Labels and use mutt's macros to call it and to limit mutt's view to labelled, unlabelled, or labelled with a desired set of labels. I save incoming mails to a single maildir after processing them. When it grows too large, I move old messages to the latest of a stack of maildirs. I index with 'mu' my maildirs daily. When I need to view old messages I use 'mu find' to make a virtual maildir of all messages that satisfy any criteria, such as having specified labels. I use tmux to open several windows with mutt: one for inbox, one for the current maildir, one for sent not yet labelled messages, one for a read only version of inbox, and one for not yet deleted spam. The system is not too polished but serves me fine and has some similarities to gmails label system. If interested, I can share it. Regards, Luis -- o W.

Re: Disabling specific SMTP authenticator
> I don't think i have a .msmtprc file, what program is that associated with? msmtp, lightweight smtp client, http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/
mask
In my email setup I recently changed from mboxes to maildirs. I access my maildirs directly from my office and through imap from home using dovecot. When I made the conversion using dovecot's dsync program the maildir folders acquired a leading dot in their names. I found that agreeable, as it allowed me to distinguish maildir names from other files that dovecot put within the maildirs. To that end, I changed my 'mask' to set mask="^\\.[^.]" which works reasonably well when listing maildirs. My problem is that when I enter the file browser, for example, to attach a file, I don't see any file, as I would with the default mask set mask="!^\\.[^.]" My question is, is there a hook or something I can use to change the mask according to what I'm browsing for, either a maildir or a file? I guess I could define a macro to do that, bind it to some key, and execute it whenever needed, but I would like to know if it can be done automatically. Thanks and best regards, Luis -- o W.

As there are so many types of URLs, and I am not sure whether my browser can handle all of them correctly, I wanted to continue using the same handler that urlview, the program I used until a few days ago, used. I guess your suggestion would work for most, or maybe all of the cases, and the complexity of /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh may be unnecessary, but now it is working and, at the end, the fix was trivial, i.e. changing 'COMMAND /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh' into 'COMMAND /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh %s'.

Your script did work from the command line, but it was not enough when called from extract_url.pl. Anyway, I believe that the fix is as simple as adding %s to the COMMAND COMMAND /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh %s (as suggested by Kyle) without touching anything else. I thought I had attempted that before, but I guess now that I made some mistake (as also suggested by Kyle). I still don't understand why %s fixes the problem, though. Thanks everybody.

I tried now your fix, and it didn't work for me; my browser doesn't
find the resulting pages when the url has ampersands that are
converted to %26 (probably because the % itself is further encoded as
%25 before been sent to the server by the browser (?))

I changed my handler to '/bin/echo %s >>tmp.txt' and it wrote the
correct result, so I guess you're right here.

I don't know much about shell programming, but I found that
/etc/urlhandler/url_handler.sh is a shell script that obtains its url
doing '$url=$1'. I replaced the whole handler by the following
program:
#! /bin/bash
url=$1; shift
echo $url >>tmp.txt;
and found out that the url is cut short at the first ampersand.
I don't understand why echo by itself yields the correct result (above)
while echo through a bash script yields the truncated result.
Thanks and best regards,
Luis

Sorry for not having given the line numbers, etc. I actually made
changes around 522 and 647, and defined a new subroutine (I named it
wlmsanitize) which modifies the command to run. A patch
follows.
>
> I'm a perl guy, yet that's non-trivial here. Thx. :-)

You're welcome. I don't know if there are other characters that appear
in an url and need to be escaped for the shell ([;><]?); they could
easily be accomodated by modifying 'wlmsanitize'. The page for the
extract_url project (http://www.memoryhole.net/~kyle/extract_url/)
mentions that the program already transforms characters dangerous to
the shell, but then it only mentions explicitly single quotes and
dollar signs.
Best regards,
Luis

Re: Long urls - update
I found a mistake in the extract_url.pl program: it doesn't escape ampersands when present in the url, so when the command to actually view the url is invoked, the shell gets confused.

It's brilliant. I put it in one of the subdirectories of my $PATH (in ~/bin) and made the program executable (chmod +x ~/bin/extract_url.pl). I made a configuration file (~/.extract_urlview) with a sinngle line (COMMAND /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh) which is the COMMAND used by default by urlview, the program I employed previously, I installed the prerequisite perl packages and it worked nicely (under Debian/testing). I hope it helps. In particular, I liked the fact that I can see the context of the url's so I don't have to guess anymore which url to choose. Best regards, Luis -- o W.

A short time ago I posted here a small script which may be useful to
run arbitrary commands on arbitrary attachments. I put the cursor on
the desired attachment and tipe:
| muttfilter filename program [arguments ...]
where filename is the name with which you want to save the attachment
(maybe temporarily) and program is the program or script you want to
run on that file. The arguments are optional. Maybe it can be useful
to run the script that copies to the other machine and runs
openoffice, etc. You could have a different script for each required file type
The script is:
#!/bin/bash
# muttfilter
# to filter from mutt
#first copy standard in to regular file giving some name
# then open with some program using some arguments
#Usage muttfilter name program args
cat - > $1
# Then run command with given arguments on filename

In my system, /usr/bin/mutt is a link pointing to /etc/alternatives/mutt. Furthermore, /etc/alternatives/mutt is a link pointing to /usr/bin/mutt-patched, which is the actual binary for the patched version of mutt. Using the command update-alternatives as I mentioned a couple of messages ago, this link may be replaced by a link to /usr/bin/mutt-org, which is the binary for the unpatched mutt.

Thanks! This must be it! I'm using mutt as distributed by Debian/testing. I'm attaching the output of mutt -v in case it helps to completely identify my version.

Re: headers in mail vs forward vs bounce
I made some tests and... I'm even more confused. For some reason, if I
bounce your message to myself (through my alias) it arrives without
problem. However, if I compose a message to myself and then bounce it
to myself, it is rejected. The rejection has to do with the
'Resend-to:' header. In the former case it reads as expected (Luis
Mochán ) but in the latter case the accented a is
displayed as two question marks (Luis Moch??n
). Thus, I guess the problem has to do with the coding of
the message. I'm attaching examples of an accepted and a rejected
message.
Regards,
Luis

I wonder if someone knows how to 'bounce' a message to a recipient whose name contains special characters, such as the accents áéíóú? I can 'forward', but 'bounce' fails. The manual http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-2.html#forwarding_mail doesn't seem to address this problem.

Re: Making changes by edit-type persistent

I sometimes have had a related problem; not persistency but simply
being able to choose which command to run in order to open an
attachment. For example, I when I receive
a pdf attachment I open it with xpdf by default, but sometimes I have
to open it with acroread (for example, to see an animation). Thus, I made a
simple and maybe naive script to write out the attachment and run an
arbitary command with arbitrary extra arguments on it. I named it
muttfilter, so, for example, to open a pdf with acroread instead of my
default xpdf, I would position the cursor on the attachment and type
| muttfilter temp.pdf acroread
Seems to work under linux.
Regards,
Luis

Re: duplicates and x-labels
I tried to solve my problem (below) using offlineimap instead of imap. But now I have another problem. It seems that after adding an X-Label to a message locally, offlineimap doesn't propagate that change back to the mail server. I end up with messages that are labelled in my laptop but not in my work computer. I guess (haven't tried) that the reciprocal problem also exist and that messages labelled in my server wouldn't be labelled in my laptop. Is there a way to convince offlineimap to synch messages after being 'edited' through mutt?

duplicates and x-labels
I have an occasional but somewhat annoying problem. I made a program to edit X-Labels to somewhat emulate the behavior of gmail. When using my mail account remotely I use IMAP to access a dovecot server. Everything works fine, but occasionally, the network fails and the connection is broken before I sync the mailbox. When I open the mailbox again, there are two versions of each edited message: the original that had been marked for deletion but had not been deleted and had lost the mark, and the same message but with the X-Label in place. Currently I order my mailbox by threads, and when I find a message that is x-labeled and marked as duplicate, I know that I can (manually) delete its predecessor. Is there some mutt expression that would allow me to select all those messages automatically?

Re: mutt on an IMAP-Server (dovecot): folder names and structure
> What exactly is the problem with entering the password manually? Laziness. Not a very strong reason, but I just wondered if restricting the permissions of the file would be enough protection. From the answers so far, I gather not. Related to my previous question, I have a text file, /etc/exim4/passwd.client with the password for accesing my 'smarthost' mail server from my laptop. I guess this presents similar risks. Best regards, Luis
Re: mutt on an IMAP-Server (dovecot): folder names and structure
I used to have my password in the .muttrc file; bad mistake (I found out after mailing my rc file to this list). After introducing it manually for awhile, I wrote it in a small file with restricted permissions (set imap_pass='my_password') which I source from the rc file (source ~/my/password/file). The password file is onle readable and writable by me. This setup is convenient, as I don't have to type my password every session, though that is not a big inconvenience. Would this be considered unsafe?

I was not aware that you could bounce or resend individual attachments. However, it seems that the failed message comes in the same part as the failure message, preceded by a message such as: ... -- This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. -- Return-path: ... Received: from... ... I wonder if simply typing e and deleting whatever comes before the copy of the message and the original headers would work, i.e., everything above 'Return-path:' above would work. Regards, Luis
resend
Due to a misconfiguration in my mail server, I sent several messages that were not delivered but were sent back to me enclosed in a failure notification . Now that I have fixed the problem I want to send those messages again. What is the best procedure to do it? Does mutt have something similar to the emacs function 'rmail-retry-failure' to strip away the failure notification of a returned message and resend the original message? Regards, Luis -- o W.

Dear Leo, Maybe I don't know enough about tmux (nor screen). How do you get to the mail server/mutt program? Through a ssh session? How do you visualize attachments? Do you use the -X option of ssh?

Re: alias
Hi Patrick, I use screen but locally. I used to access my mail on the server through ssh/screen/mutt, but then I had trouble seeing some non-text attachments. Sometimes I use a VNC server on my office and a client in my laptop in order to use mutt at the server and display my attachments correctly, but my network is not too reliable, so a local mutt and a remote IMAP server seems to have worked best for me, with the small annoyance of duplicated configuration files.

I receive my email at a desktop in my office and I access it through mutt at my office and remotely through my laptop using IMAP. Thus, I have configuration files at my desktop and at my laptop.

If I remember correctly (I haven't reproduced the problem) I typed s=mailbox to save a message, $ to purge the message, which had been marked with a D, from the INBOX c=mailbox to open the mailbox and the message seems to have disappeared. If I omit the $, the message does appear in its folder, but it also appears in the INBOX with the 'D' mark. What I wanted is to clean the inbox, although, as you mentioned, it may be unnecessary. Actually, using the web interface, I found my messages in the Trash with the labels corresponding to the 'mailboxes' I had used. > ... > I've had no problem whatsoever with just: > s=Label > But then I don't use labels with gmail very much at all because the > search is so good; in fact I have "s" rebound to "save to all mail", > which removes things from the inbox but does nothing else. > Here's all my gmail-related stuff, with comments, in case it helps: > > > # Gmail-related keyboard shortcuts > > # This allows going to space-containing folders > bind editor noop >... Thanks! So I still don't quite understand. After you do an immediate save or a normal save with your configuration, what happens with the message? Is it marked as deleted? Do you find it if you look for it after purging it from the INBOX? I guess that my problem is that I still don't quite get the relation between adding and deleting labels and archiving in gmail, using its web interface, and copying, saving and deleting messages in gmail using mutt.

Thanks James. I hadn't notice any peculiar behavior before, but I only used mutt to browse over my gmail messages, not to move messages around.

archive messages in gmail
I have used gmail from mutt occasionally using the attached rc file. Today I decided to clean my gmail account, deleting some messages and saving others in their corresponding folders under, for example =here or =there (under imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/). Things seemed to be working well. After saving each message, it was marked as Deleted from my INBOX. My problem is that when I expunged the messages from the INBOX, they also dissapeared from the folder to which I had copied them! Visiting the corresponding folders through the gmail.com page I found that before the messages are deleted, they do appear in their corresponding folder, but they have the Inbox. I also found that some of the deleted messages appeared in the Trash folder; those that I had not looked for in their intended folder! This is very confusing to me (and probably I couldn't explain the situation clearly). How could one manage gmail labels in gmail from within mutt in a safe way? Best regards, Luis -- o W.

Re: mutt deletes attachement before libreoffice tries to open it
I guess a solution used for browsing html attachments (discussed
here some time ago; see attached perl script) may be adapted for
running libreoffice. The main idea would be to make a copy of the
file, send it to libreoffice and sleep a short time before returning
to mutt,

Re: mutt, html and chrome
I made a small perl script (attached) that replicates the behavior of
mutt_netscape by Gary A. Johnson and which
seems to solve my problem of disappearing temporal files before the
browser reads them.
Thanks for your kind help!

mutt, html and chrome
Very recently I started having a curious situation when I open the html version of messages with mutt. My default browser is 'chrome'. Typically, in mutt I press 'v', I find the html message from the list, I press return and the message is displayed in a new window in my running 'chrome'. Nevertheless, I sometimes get the error message 'No webpage found for the web address: file:///tmp/mutt.html'. If I insist enough times, the message eventually is successfully displayed in my browser. My guess is that there is some kind of race condition which becomes apparent only when my computer is busy, as if the browser tries to read the temporal file before mutt finishes writing and closing it. My system is debian/stable and I am using the mutt package from the distribution. Any idea/suggestion will be appreciated. Best regards, Luis pd. The output of mutt -v is: Mutt 1.5.20 (2009-06-14) Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Michael R. Elkins and others. Mutt comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `mutt -vv'.

Re: Editing multiple messages with bash

Re: Macro to move mail to trash in Gmail.
Acoording to the manual, there is a variable: resolve Type: boolean Default: yes When set, the cursor will be automatically advanced to the next (possibly undeleted) message whenever a command that modifies the current message is executed. I guess unsetting 'resolve' would help.

Re: flags on re-edited message
Mistake: I meant 'replied' instead of 'read' flag.

Re: flags on re-edited message
Well, I found today that if I remove the New flag, the Read flag becomes visible if I had read the original message, so that flag is not actually lost, but only hidden by the New flag. Thus, I have now a reasonable solution: I can tag all my X-labelled and unread messages and toogle the New flag of all of them.

flags on re-edited message
Hello, After I re-edit a message I have sent or a message I have received, usually to set or modify the X-Labels header, I loose the flags of the message. For example, if I read a message, reply to it and later edit it to set its X-Labels, the original message is marked for deletion and the new message is marked... New. I would like the new message in this example to be marked as read and replied-to. Is there a way to keep the old flags in the newwly edited message? Thanks and best regards, Luis
