Module to add mailinglist-names from the header in .muttrc

2002-10-03 Thread Oliver Fuchs

Hi,

I found these days that there is a procmail-module which can do the
following:

o   *pm-jalist.rc* -- Subroutine to extract mailing list name from
message. Do you need to add new recipe to your .procmailrc
every time you subscribe to new mailing list? If you do,
take a look at this module, which examines the message and
defines variable `LIST' to hold the mailing list name. You
can use it directly to save the messages adaptively to
correct folders. No more hand work and manual storing
of mailing list messages.

Is there something similar "no more hand work" for/in mutt?

Example:
Extract the mailing-list address from the header, add it in .muttrc to
the mailbox and the list/subscribe feature?

Open a formular when sending mail to a special address

2002-10-03 Thread Oliver Fuchs

Hi,

I often have to send mails to a address (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I always
use a pattern file loaded via vim.

Can I please mutt to open this file when i mail to a/this special address?

Example:
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Bug Rogers

And then mutt should open my pattern file with vim
/home/me/pattern.file.

Hi,

set in your .muttrc set copy=ask-yes (if you have changed your default
settings). After you recognized that your
original mail was wrong or something was missing copy from your
mailsent-mailbox the email you want to correct to your postponed
mailbox. Then resend it and you are able to correct the missing datas.

Hi,

for all who are wondering about awnsers on this list please get 
'How To Ask Questions The Smart Way' by Eric S. Raymond (utfi).

Here are some passages:

[...]

Despite this, hackers have a reputation for meeting simple questions
with what looks like hostility or arrogance. 
It sometimes looks like we're reflexively rude to newbies
and the ignorant. But this isn't really true.

What we are, unapologetically, is hostile to people who seem to be unwilling
to think or do their own homework before asking questions. 
People like that are time sinks - they take without giving back, they waste
time we could have spent on another question more interesting and another
person more worthy of an answer. 

We call people like this "losers" (and for historical reasons we sometimes spell it 
"lusers").

We're (largely) volunteers. We take time out of busy lives to answer questions, 
and at times we're overwhelmed with them. 
So we filter ruthlessly. In particular, we throw away questions from people
who appear to be losers in order to spend our question-answering time 
more efficiently, on winners.

If you decide to come to us for help, you don't want to be one of the losers. 
You don't want to seem like one, either. 
The best way to get a rapid and responsive answer is to ask it like a winner - 
to ask it like a person with smarts, confidence,
and clues who just happens to need help on one particular problem.

[...]

On Not Reacting Like A Loser

Odds are you'll screw up a few times on hacker community forums - in ways
detailed in this article, or similar. And you'll be told exactly
how you screwed up, possibly with colourful asides. In public.

When this happens, the worst thing you can do is 
##

whine about the experience, 
claim to have been verbally assaulted, 
demand apologies, 
scream, 
hold your breath, 
threaten lawsuits, 
complain to people's employers, 
leave the toilet seat up, etc. 

Instead, here's what you do:

Get over it. It's normal. In fact, it's healthy and appropriate.



Remember: When that hacker tells you that you've screwed up, 
and (no matter how gruffly) tells you not to do it again, he's acting out
of concern for (1) you and (2) his community.
It would be much easier for him to ignore you and filter you out of his life.
If you can't manage to be grateful, at least have a little dignity, don't whine,
and don't expect to be treated like a fragile doll just because you're a 
newcomer with a theatrically hypersensitive soul and delusions of entitlement.

Yes, trying to copy text to another file/another folder ... but it is
not only using vim ... it is also opening the mail-directory with
Konqueror (it is what Rocco posted) ... I thought mutt is setting
internal flags to recognize which emails are new or old ... so that is
the awnser why mutt is changing all "new" mails to "old" mails only by
opening the mailbox and closing it but without reading every "new" email
... very sensitive programm ... thank you

 had the same problem ... if you are using sendmail it seems that your mail is stored 
inthe queue ...
 so after you send your mail with mutt try 'mailq' to see what is in the queue ... if 
your mail is there,
 type 'sendmail -v -q'(as root) and your mail from the queue will be send

To all who are interested: Procmail, mutt and fetchmail are not only a better 
replacement for Lotus Notes ...
... it is more fun to handle it that way ... everything works fine now ... thank you 
for the help

Thank you for the hints but still do not get it. 
I tried: mbox-hook '~C mutt-users' +mutt.users
but nothing is working. Is something wrong? I do not see how to handle it, how to move 
emails with To or Cc
to folder/mbox mutt.users.



Emails to different folders

2002-03-12 Thread Oliver Fuchs

Hi,
I am using mutt on SuSe 7.3 Pro to replace my Lotus Notes distribution. I managed the 
.muttrc file and here is my question:
Am I able to move emails in different folders after they have been read? E.g. emails 
from the mutt-users-list should automatically moved in a folder like 
/home/me/mutt/user_list?
Is there a possibility to set this in my .muttrc file?
