The 'subscribe' command helps 1. if all your mail is delivered to one inbox, where you can easily see which messages go where, and 2.

The point is, Unix mail clients do not require a local SMTP server per se; they require a sendmail-like *program* to.. well.. to send mail :) It's much easier - and less error-prone - for mail clients to know they have to execute such-and-such program and pass such-and-such parameters to it, than to make all mail clients actually network-aware SMTP clients (with all the subtleties of SMTP and any network protocol - response parsing and such..) So, just as Suresh suggested, look into some mail delivery agents that act like the sendmail *program*, not SMTP server, and take care of all the SMTP talk.

Along with some quoting of possibly-null arguments, of course.. something like: [ -n "$1" ] && muttrc="$1" [ ! -e "$muttrc" ] && die "$muttrc: no such file" [ ! -f "$muttrc" ] && die "$muttrc: not regular file" [ ! -r "$muttrc" ] && die "$muttrc: cannot open" Just this way, it works for me in FreeBSD's /bin/sh, which is pretty much as standard a Bourne shell as you can get..

If you need to set your from name and/or address, better let mutt know what you're trying to do - set the 'from' variable, do not add a new header. 2. Keyboard macros expand to just that - key sequences. Thus, if you want to enter a command, you need to prefix it with ':', just as you would've done if you'd tried to enter it on the mutt 'command line'.

This error means that mutt encounters a problem when trying to execute an external program, most probably when trying to execute a program which does not exist or is not located where mutt's looking for it. My bet in this case would be that sendmail is not where mutt thinks it is. But just to be certain - does this error pop up after you've composed the message and are trying to send it, or does it show before you've had a chance to write your message? If it is the latter, then it might very well be what Jason said - mutt being unable to start up your editor. In that case, either set the EDITOR environment variable in your shell startup scripts to point to a valid editor, or set the 'editor' variable in your muttrc. If it is the former, then it's most probably a sendmail problem - check if you have /usr/sbin/sendmail on your system (or maybe /usr/lib/sendmail, or /usr/libexec/sendmail..). If you do not, then you will need to install it, or install some other kind of mail transport agent. Mutt, unlike Netscape, is purely a mail user agent - showing you the mail some other program has already delivered, and invoking some other program to send out mail you've written. Thus, it needs sendmail or some sendmail workalike to send outgoing messages. I like qmail better than sendmail, but that's a matter of personal preference :) Hope that was not too confuzzling :) G'luck, Peter -- This sentence no verb.

Yes, in your muttrc put something like.. folder-hook . set index-format=\"your default index format\" folder-hook send-mail set index-format=\"whatever you like\" Note: at least mutt 1.2.5, which I'm using, requires the escaped quotes when setting a string variable in a folder-hook command argument.

This program was written by Vitus Wagner. catdoc is in the FreeBSD ports collection - /usr/ports/textutils/catdoc/ The current version includes xls2csv and xlsview for viewing Excel spreadsheets - not perfect, but way better than nothing :) G'luck, Peter -- Thit sentence is not self-referential because "thit" is not a word.

Changing mail folders is as easy as typing 'c' and entering the name of the folder (=something for Mail/, simply Maildir for the incoming maildir).

save-hook for not just the sender?
Alright, sorry if this is an FAQ; but I did not seem to find anything about this in either the manual or the mailing list archives. I'm using mutt-1.2.5i. save-hook works perfectly alright, when filtering by the sender's address; however, I want to filter by something more than that - either the mail's subject (for mailing lists which add a token to the message subject), or by some string found in the message header (for e.g. Majordomo-run lists which may be identified by owner-listname in the header). Is there a way to do something similar to save-hook, but use an expression similar to the one used in tagging? Something like "~h owner-freebsd-bugs" or "~s BUGTRAQ"? And yes, I know I can do this with procmail and mutt's multiple inboxes support; is there an easier way though? :) Thanks in advance for any pointers to the source, the manual, the mailing list archives, or anything else which goes to show the futility of me attempting mutt configuration before lunch :) G'luck, Peter -- This sentence contradicts itself - or rather - well, no, actually it doesn't!
