I just added bind index \ej sidebar-next to my muttrc and ALT+j works. Acording to Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition "The Alt modifier (i.e., Alt-?) is in fact a short way of pressing and releasing Esc before entering the key combination; hence Esc then f is the same as Alt-f--UNIX is different from other operating systems in this use of Esc." Maybe your /etc/inputrc is mapped some other way? -- Veljko

Labels
Hi! I'm using editlabel script (http://blitiri.com.ar/p/other/mutt-labels/) for labeling mails in mutt, but now I have about 400 mails that I want to label in the same time. Is that even possible?

Well, I tried it and it doesn't work. I have some .wmv file attached in
mail. After Ctrl-v I'm in position to press enter after selecting
attachment. Something like:
A 4 some_video_file.wmv [video/x-ms-wmv, base64, 1.3M]
If I press enter, video file is started in mplayer, bacause it is set that
way in my mailcap and that's fine. But if I want to play it in VLC, I
thought I can press "|" and enter command that will start my attached
video file. It doesn't work. pipe_decode doesn't make any difference.
But it doesn't really matter. I was just being curious about it. :-)

To be more clear, I'm refering to this:
pipe-message | pipe message/attachment to a shell command

Sorry, I understand that my subject contribute to the confusion. What I
was asking was using pipe in view-attachment part. When rely on mailcap
entries is is sufficient to pres enter (and that is working now), but
alternative is to press "|"
and enter command, that is, we are asked to "Pipe to:". Maybe I
misunderstood it's usage...

Actually, I'm already using mutt_bgrun (thanks for that great script Gary), but
thats
just for viewing attachment in the background.
mime.types solved my problem and now all attachments are runned by
appropriate application. Thanks Christian!
Just out of curiosity, how to use pipe ("|") to open attachment with
desired application?
Mailcap and piping
Hi! I set up my mailcap for various types of files, but some of them are not recognized properly and it just says "application/octet-stream" despite the fact it is .jpg of .pps or something like that. What I want to do in that case is to pipe attachment to apropriate application. What is the right way to do it? I tried something like: vlc %s but it doesn't work.

After you follow link Comodo sent you, your certificate is installed in your browser (firefox in my case). You need to export it then (Edit - Preferences - Advanced - Encryption - View Certificates - Your Certificates - Backup). It is .p12, not .pem file, so you need to use: smime_keys add_p12 ~/your_comodo_cert.p12 If your muttrc is not in ~/.muttrc, copy it there just for this command, so it can find what it needs. Cheers!

Hi! I just applied for Comodo's free email certificate http://www.comodo.com/home/email-security/free-email-certificate.php How can it be used with mutt?
