The only thing I can think of is that (auto-fill-mode) doesn't *turn on* auto fill mode, it *toggles* auto fill mode. Maybe you have code elsewhere in your .emacs file that's turning it on, so then this line is turning it back off. To always turn it on, try this instead: (auto-fill-mode 1) Good luck!

Most new panes are whole windows, but you can first split a window into two panes and *then* create a window in it. % % Or you can use C-a for a list of existing windows and choose one for % the new pane. % % BTW, C-a ? gives you the key bindings. I saw that, but I didn't get that creating a window would put it in the pane instead of in a new window as usual. I still don't think you quite get it. There are windows (which you create with C-a c), and there are regions (which is how the screen is split up). Normally you only have one region, so it appears that creating a new window fills up the whole pane. But really each region can contain any of the windows you've created. Once you've split your screen into different regions, anything you do happens just inside that one region until you either kill it or switch to a different one. So any new windows you create will be created in whatever region you happen to be in when you enter C-a c. Walt msg27856/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

How to display accented characters in mutt 1.3.25?
I recently tried out mutt 1.3.25. This is my first look at the 1.3.* series of mutt. One thing I noticed right away is that mutt is no longer display accented characters correctly. On the index screen they appear as question marks. When viewing the text of an email, they appear as octal with a / in front of them. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the font I'm using, because if I fall back to 1.2.5.1 everything looks fine. Any idea what I need to tweak?

It was designed specifically to compensate for the limitations of mbox format, specifically locking and speed. I've done some experimenting with Maildirs. I've found it to be quite a bit *slower* than mbox, particularly on big folders. This is on a Linux ext2 partition. I had one Maildir that was an archive of a high-traffic mailing list. It had around 15,000 messages and was over 50 megs in size. Mutt was taking over a minute to open the folder. The equivalent mbox folder took just a few seconds. Walt PGP signature

What I like most about mbox, and the main reason I haven't moved to Maildir, is the searchability of a single file. Yes, I know you can use grep -r, and most indexers will index multiple files, but you get filenames like ~/Mail/mutt-users/new/57834896890 or whatever Maildir uses to name its files. Of course you can do some level of searching directly through mutt. I don't remember searches taking that much longer under Maildirs, but I honestly didn't do much in the way of comparison. It was the long delay in first opening the folder that drove me to convert the big folders back to mbox. Maildirs have some neat advantages of their own. For example it's very easy to merge two folders together. I send mail from my laptop, my desktop, and a shell account at my ISP. I end up with sent folders on all three places, but all my received mail is on my desktop. Since Maildir stores each message in its own file, and since the filename contains the hostname, I'm guaranteed to not have any name collisions. All I have to do is periodically scp or rsync everything in ~/Mail/sent/cur on my laptop and ISP to ~/Mail/sent/cur on my desktop, and suddenly everything is in one place. Though, to bring it back to vfolders (remember vfolders?), it would be nice to able to say something like SELECT Subject FROM MAIL WHERE From LIKE %mom% ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 1 and get the latest message from my mom... You'd find that easier that /~f Mom? Walt PGP signature
No Lines: tag in sent mail folder
I keep a copy of all my sent mail with the command set record=~/Mail/sent in my .muttrc file. I recently converted this folder to a Maildir. Since then none of the new messages have a Lines: tag, so to mutt they all appear to have 0 lines. I've actually written a little perl script to add the Lines tag where it's missing, but it seems kind of kludgy to do it that way. Does anyone know a way to have mutt insert the tag in the header of these messages? The trick shown in the FAQ doesn't work because these messages don't do through procmail. If mutt can't do it itself, could I pipe the messages through an external program that could add the Lines tag and write it to the Maildir? I actually have said program, which I wrote for a box which has mutt, qmail, and perl installed, but which for some reason doesn't have procmail. I'd be happy to post the program to the list if anyone's interested. Thanks. Walt
