How mutt check to download emails from an imap server without downloading them more than once?
Hi,
I use the following python code to download UNDELETED messages. But it
will fetch all messages without considering whether an message has
been downloaded previously. How does mutt solve this problem to only
download the emails that have not been downloaded before.
import email
with IMAPClient(host=host) as client:
client.login(user, passwd)
client.select_folder('INBOX', readonly=True) # preserve the \Recent flag.
messages = client.search(search_criteria) # UNDELETED
response = client.fetch(messages, ['RFC822'])
for message_id, data in response.items():
with open('%s/%d.eml' % (outdir, message_id), 'wb') as f:
f.write(data[b'RFC822'])

Peng

Re: How to generate html mime message?
I just want to generate the HTML mine message. The instruction requires the set up of mutt, which I want to avoid. Is `bin/plain2html` for generating HTML mime message from a plain text? Can you make the plain2html module installable so that the following command will work? Thanks. $ bin/plain2html Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/plain2html", line 36, in from plain2html import settings ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plain2html' On 2/7/21, Amit Ramon wrote: > Hello Peng, > > While this might not be the answer for how to use pandoc, it is an answer > to the question in the subject, so I hope it's right. > > I'm the author of https://github.com/amitramon/plainMail2HTML - this > is a simple tool that allows for generating HTML mime part from any > email sent from Mutt.

How to generate html mime message?
Hi, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108485/send-email-written-in-markdown-using-mutt I see the following muttrc command is used to compose an HTML message on the above URL. I just want to inspect the mime message in the command line without using the GUI. macro compose \e5 "F pandoc -s -f markdown -t html \ny^T^Utext/html; charset=utf-8\n" set wait_key=no Could anybody let me know how to create the mime message using mutt given an html file already generated by pandoc from markdown?

What environment variable affects the "charset" variable?
Hi, `mutt -D` prints 'charset="iso-8859-1"' when it runs in a non-interactive bash session scheduled by crontab. But the same command prints 'charset="utf-8"' when it runs in an interactive bash session. I suspect that this is affected by an environment variable. Does anybody know why there is such a difference? -- Regards, Peng
Re: How not to encode the To: field?
OK. I see the problem. Gmail encode it as =?UTF-8..., but mutt encode it as =?utf-8... Should it be in upper cases instead of lower cases? Is there a way to let mutt encode using "UTF-8"?
