Re: what is the change folder command offering?

Sometime ago, Jeff Howie said:
 Hi all. I've noticed that while browsing through my directory that
 contains Usenet  mail-list postings (created vi procmail to mbox
 format), that when I'm finished reading one box and hit 'c' to change
 to the next unread one, mutt offers a default box. This box is alway
 one of the other boxes in the directory that contains new messages.
 Once I've browsed through all of the boxes, then hitting 'c' doesn't
 offer a default choice anymore, indicating that I've finished reading
 all the new messages.
 
 This is obviously a feature of mutt, and I think it's _GREAT_, but
 what exactly is the logic of what's going on here. There's no detail
 in the docs regarding this behavior that I can find.
 

Have you tried pressing 'c' and hitting 'tab' once/twice?

 How can I see the above files with mutt(1.0.1i) on a FreeBSD-Box (4.0) without
 StarOffice?
 Thanks in advance.

I remember reading about a program "msword2html" that could convert
.doc files to html.

end hangs mutt for long messages

2000-10-29 Thread Neelakanth


Hi ,
I just tried hitting the end key in the pager. For small messages it
works fine, but when I tried it for a long message (40K) it hung.

 I would like to be able to use a different "from" address for some emails
 I send.
 
 This is because I have 2 email addresses, home and work.
 
 Sometimes I send email from home to my work collegues, I would like these
 emails to be from my work address.  So as not to confuse my collegues and
 give the impression I'm at work when really I'm at home :)
 
 How would I configure mutt to select the correct from address based on a
 condition.  And what condition could I use?
 
 I have set up a mailbox just for my work emails, could mutt detect that I'm
 viewing a work mailbox when I hit the "m" key, and set the from address to
 my work email address?
 
 Or is there a better condition that could be checked, like the presence of
 my works domain name in the to or cc fields maybe?
 


Here is an email I had sent out to this list in feb 00. You may find
more suggestions in the mailing list archives for mutt-users (Feb).

  here is a part of my muttrc file
 ==
 send-hook '(~C gnu)' source ~/.mutt/profile.gnu
 
 send-hook '(~C mutt)' "set signature="uptime|" ;my_hdr From: Neelakanth

 profile.gnu contains normal mutt stuff like my_hdr, etc...

Re: deleting and undeleting

Sometime ago, Manuel Arriaga said:
 Once again proving myself a total newbie :-), I would like to know whether there is 
anyway in which I can undelete a message which "sits" in the middle of 10 other 
deleted messages, without having to undelete the first four - does this make any kind 
of sense to you?
 
 Thank you for any tips,

to delete, say the 10th message,

press "10" (without the " )
Press "u".

 Help me. I recompiled mutt on a newly installed system and I keep getting
 "Abort unmodified message" whenever I try to do anything having to do

It is your editor. Mutt isnt able to execute your editor. try
using "set editor=vi" in you muttrc file.

Hi all,
This question has been answered here before I guess, but for some
reason I am not able to get it to work.

When ever I send email to anybody in the gnu.org domain, I want my
"From" address to be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have the following set up in my muttrc file 
mutt complains "set: unknown variable"

any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

 I have a slightly off-topic question.  I am looking for a program to format my
 printouts from mutt to be slightly nicer.  Currently I get the basic
 line-printer like dump but I would like a bit more.  Having no real experience
 with user tools to make this prettier I beg for comments from other mutt
 users.  Please forgive my OT transgression.

If you are looking for printing within mutt, have you checked out
a2ps? works wonderfully for me.

hope that helped.
