Re: Fw: error w/ muttprint (or Latex)

 the error log shows the following, which makes me suspect it is a Latex
 error, but I may be wrong. I have *not* ever used or configured Latex on
 my machine.

 Output written on mail.dvi (1 page, 2124 bytes). 

The log output shows that Latex worked fine and generated the .dvi
file.

this part leads me to believe that dvips is trying to find and print
to the default printer lp0 without piping it to the stdout as you want
it to do.

man dvips gives the -f option to run it as a filter.

-fRun  as a filter.  Read the .dvi file from standard
  input and write the PostScript to standard  output.
  The  standard  input must be seekable, so it cannot
  be a pipe.  If you must use a pipe, write  a  shell
  script  that  copies the pipe output to a temporary
  file and then points  dvips  at  this  file.   This
  option  also  disables the automatic reading of the
  PRINTER environment variable,  and  turns  off  the
  automatic  sending of control D if it was turned on
  with the -F option or in  the  configuration  file;
  use -F after this option if you want both.

so setting dvips -f might work.

it does get verified.

 Pop open another window and truss the gpg process to see what it's doing;
 I bet the delay is simply trying to get the key so that it can verify the
 sig.

for example, the output from verifying your signature is:

[-- PGP output follows (current time: Tue Feb 26 18:08:18 2002) --]

( i had to hit Ctrl-C on this one too..)

i think i will just go with the upgrade suggestion.

thanks for all the replies.

gpg not cleanly exiting....?

2002-02-25 Thread Sridhar Srinivasan

hi,

i use gpg 1.0 on Solaris 8 with the sample gpg.rc (paths modified,
etc.). all operations work correctly, except that when gpg is done, it
doesn't seem to return to mutt. 

For example, on an email that is signed, when i try to read the
message, mutt prompts me to verify the sig. i hit yes, mutt prints
Invoking PGP. and nothing else happens. if i hit Ctrl-C, i drop
into the pager with the gpg output and the signed email displayed
correctly, including the part about the signature being verified.

this leads me to believe that the child process is not exiting cleanly
when gpg exits. 

could someone point out what could be wrong?

TIA,
sridhar

 sorry to not have anything useful to contribute... BUT -  there are bugs
 with versions of GnuPG up to 1.0.6. are you using 1.0.0? 1.0.4?  1.0.4
 is the latest version available on the freeware site; i'm not sure how
 easy it is to install 1.0.6 without installing the package that gives
 you a /dev/random (forget what it is off the top of my head).
 


sorry, should have mentioned that

colours in SecureCRT

2002-02-20 Thread Sridhar Srinivasan

hi,

i use SecureCRT to connect to my mailserver (a Solaris 8 box) whenever
i'm in windows. i'm unable to get it display my colour settings
properly even though i have tried changing the terminal type to linux,
ansi, etc. with some combinations of $TERM, i do get some zany colours
but not my normal scheme.

does anyone know how i can get it to work with my normal colour
scheme?

TIA,

Re: Aborting a message

  How do you expect that should work? When you exit the compose menu, you
  don't want to postpone the message and have the message not to be thrown
  away? Where is it stored then?
 
 I think what he means is this:
 
 He's editing a message.
 He accidentally presses q
 Mutt asks, Postpone?
 He doesn't want to postpone, he just wants mutt to pretend he never hit q
 If he says y, the message is postponed and he has to recall it
 If he says n, the message is thrown away
 
 He wants some way to cancel the q.
 
 

Ctrl-G should cancel that.

Re: new mail in mailboxes

2001-04-30 Thread Sridhar Srinivasan

pressing space doesn't cycle through some mailboxes in which i know
there is new mail.

i get new mail notification by running xbiff on the procmail log file,
so i know that there is new mail, but when i start mutt, it doesn't
detect any. if i manually cycle through those offending mailboxes, i
find the new messages.

new mail in mailboxes

2001-04-29 Thread Sridhar Srinivasan

i have procmail set up to deliver incoming into several mailboxes (mbox
format) and i have them defined in my .muttrc using the mailboxes
command.

the problem is that mutt(1.2.5i) doesn't inform me that there is
new mail in some of the mailboxes, specifically these mailboxes are at
the end of the listing in the mailboxes command.

i thought that having a number of them on the same line in the
mailboxes might be causing the problem, but splitting them over two
commands didn't work.

any ideas/suggestions ???

thanks,
sridhar
