Re: Why sign every message? (was Re: Sending attachments without crypt_autosign
I sign most of my messages, even though I only know a few people who actively use GnuPG/PGP. As I see it, this is one way of promoting encryption. I.e.: What is that block of gibberish you have at the end of your emails? That, my friend is my public key. If you have the right software you can verify that I sent you that message, and we can even send encrypted emails that nobody else can read but us. Really?! Tell me more! As things are now, all kinds of personal info is sent in the clear as if it can't be read... its like writing a love letter on the back of an old style post card, and most people are oblivious to this fact. I once advised an attorney I was acquainted with to start using encryption. His response was; Don't encrypt anything, have nothing to hide in the first place. He is now serving what will probably be a life sentence for conspiring to blow up his wife's car with her in it. He says he is innocent, and the circumstances of his trial are sketchy at best. Key evidence at his trial? You guessed it, unencrypted emails. All person-to-person email should be encrypted. Even if you think you have no secrets, you might be surprised what can be garnered from a month or two of intercepted emails. Hushmail type accounts are no substitute since they are not really secure. Even more fun... and more secure, is using steganography (i.e.:Steghide/SteGUI) to embed a PGP encrypted message into a picture of Aunt Sue at the beach. (Paranoia can be fun!) I see no problem in signing list posts. For those who want to verify them, its easy to set up, those who don't can ignore them just as easily. Its not like you are printing them out and reading them from paper, after all.

The long answer is, maybe, if your particular Mutt is compiled with the POP support option. You will also have to have the proper entries in your .muttrc file. Google up mutt, pop support. There are all kinds of websites out there that detail the setup. You might wish to consider using IMAP instead. This protocol keeps the message on the server where you can access it again from, say, the computer at the public library. POP3 will also allow this, but it is not the default behavior in most cases.

Re: problem emailing pictures
puzzling problem when sending pictures with mutt - one user on the other end has trouble printing them. This is not a Mutt problem. Possibly its a printer configuration problem... and almost certainly the user is simply not technical enough to RTFM. Using a MUA to print a photograph is kinda like using a fork to eat soup; it might eventually get the job done, but not very efficiently. The way to proceed is to suggest that your user first save the image file as filename.jpg or whatever and then use another program to actually print the image. Most printer drivers will allow images to be scaled. I'd suggest using Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). Its more than you need to simply print an image, but it will get the job done. If you wish, you can give your user my email address (off list) and I will hold his/her hand while getting through this difficulty. Lord knows I had lots of help back in the day...

Why not use Gmail's own spam filter to eliminate the spam? It works pretty well and doesn't require you to use or maintain SpamAssassin.

Re: where do you store your gpg-keys
I'm not an expert, but there is a work around I think will work. You can store your keys on a flash drive... and possibly the entire OS for that matter. If you do this, you have no problems. Alternatively, you can encrypt a document and send it as an attachment. Your fellow international spy types can do the same. With this method, you don't even need full gpg/email integration... and you don't have to worry about inline versus mime encryption.

I'm not sure why you'd want to encrypt a document for multiple recipients, but
I gather that it can be done... as:
gpg -r {uid1} -r {uid2} -r {uid3} --always-trust -e inputfile -o outputfile
This should create a file that will be encrypted to anyone you list in your
command line. You can also do it using a mailing list, though I am not sure
just exactly what the syntax is. Once you have the file encrypted, just send
it as an attachment using Mutt... or whatever mail client you are using.

The added complexity is really insignificant. We're basically doing the mx_close_mailbox() for each distinct mailbox (after walking the msg list), except it's all done within mx_close_mailbox(). It's worth it to construct the list of mailboxes so we do our IMAP handling slightly more efficiently. A more significant code change would make it even more efficient, but it's a bigger trade-off. I'm certain I could do the tag-save the same way, but I didn't have a need for it. Others might. -- -Dale
using printf-style sequences with mbox-hook
I've created a patch which allows the use of printf-style sequences in the mailbox parameter of the mbox-hook command. My motivation for this patch was to store/archive my mailing list messages to folders based on date. I already had an fcc-save-hook like this: fcc-save-hook '~C mutt-users.*@mutt.org$' +lists.d/mutt/users/%%Y/%b and my old mbox-hook was: mbox-hook '+lists.d/mutt/users/incoming' +lists.d/mutt/users/`date +%Y/%b` but now I can do this: mbox-hook '+lists.d/mutt/users/incoming' +lists.d/mutt/users/%[%Y/%b] Mostly I didn't like the few other options I considered: restarting mutt; using source to process the hook(s) again; or creating a macro to recreate the mbox-hook. Knowing I wouldn't always remember to do any of these, I modified mbox-hook to allow the printf-style sequences as supported in fcc-save-hook. Perhaps someone else will find this patch useful too. You can find it at http://www.woolridge.org/mutt/ -- -Dale

Yes, I do keep mutt running for days at a time. Based on my perusal
of the code, the mbox-hook hooks are loaded once at run-time, and
``-enclosed strings/commands are executed at that time. What you
propose is quoting these ``-enclosed strings/commands in the hopes of
deferring their execution to when they are resolved (through use).
This _might_ be true for other hooks -- and I think it is for
{folder,message,account}-hook -- but mx_close_mailbox() does not treat
the hook entry this way; it is expanded as a path and doesn't allow any
back tick tricks.
Even if you could defer them, they would only be resolved when you closed
the mailbox. Cases would still exist where the behaviour I want is not
exhibited. For example, if I'm reading messages that have arrived shortly
before midnight on 31 January and additional messages arrive after
midnight, then closing the mailbox would result in messages stored based
on the 1 February date. This example assumes you want to store messages
in folders where the smallest unit of time is month. Smaller units of
time will increase the likelihood of temporal boundary issues.
Okay, that was a long-winded way of disagreeing with your suggestion. The
short one goes like this: I'm very confident that the mbox-hook command
won't allow back tick deferrals by quoting them as you propose.
That being said, printf-style sequences might be useful for more than
solving my trivial problems. Of course, other than perhaps message
score, I really can't think of any other uses, but at least my problem
is solved. ;)

Although the documentation would suggest otherwise, pgp-hook only provides a hint about the key to use and doesn't actually select a key at all. I don't think anyone finds this behaviour intuitive, making it undesirable. My patch (optionally) eliminates this behaviour and it also does the key selection too (optionally), but only if there is only one matching key. Keys with more than one UID are considered one key, but the UIDs are not ignored for the purposes of matching. If the key has not been signed, then the standard behaviour of selecting from a list is used. Whatever you might be doing, this is probably easier: set pgp_confirmhook=no send-hook . set pgp_autoselectkey=no pgp-hook friend ... send-hook friend set pgp_autoselectkey=yes I think the behaviour when pgp_autoselectkey is always set is still reasonable (for most people). -- -Dale
pgp-hook extension patch bugfix
Someone found a bug with my patch (http://www.woolridge.org/mutt/) which
caused silent failure when attempting to send an encrypted message to a
recipient without a matching pgp-hook. The obvious symptom is that the
send-message command ('y' by default) in the compose menu would appear
to be ignored. This has been addressed in the latest patch (and only
one now), which is patchlevel 3.

pgp-hook extension addendum
On Wednesday I sent out a note about a patch I had developed for mutt which allows for circumventing the pgp-hook confirm prompt as well as automatically selecting keys (when only one matching key is available). I have made a update to the patch, correcting a possible error in scanning trust values for uids attached to keys. In Wednesday's message, I also forgot to add that the patch was for version 1.3.25, though it will likely work for a number of previous 1.3.x versions. I also decided to create a patch for 1.2.5 (which should also work for 1.2.5.1); it not tested for 1.2.x. Another faux pas perhaps on my part was in sending out the patch, rather than providing some URL for it.

pgp-hook and key selection
Attached is a patch which introduces two new variables, pgp_autoselectkey and
pgp_confirmhook, with defaults of 0/no and 1/yes respectively. The motivation
here is that when I use pgp-hook I really don't want to be asked if that's the
key I intended to use. Arguably, the confirmation is useful in case I've made
a typo, but I think that would still be a one-time check. Similarly, the
automatic selection of a key is useful to me since I've (usually) already
decided on the correct key with pgp-hook. There is also the case where key
selection is obvious based on recipient address. Any chances this will get
included into the next/some release of mutt?
regards.

Postfix question
I've just installed Mandrake 8.1 and I'm using postfix. I've never configured it before, always I've used sendmail with debian. I am confused about the setup, I used the wizard and it seems to be working fine except that I can't send messages to the other computer in my home. my address: is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (what I want to appear on mail) other address: is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (this is the one that doesn't get delivered, it's the email address of the other computer) postfix wizard set postfix up to use an smtp host of: smtp.lvcablemodem.com I would be okay with not using that as long as I can send mail to the other computer both of these boxes are on the same cable network. I will attach a copy of my main.cf file and maybe someone can give me a pointer (I have tried reading the manual..) thanks dale thanks

aspell
What do I do to use aspell as the spell checker for mutt? Actually I would like to use aspell instead of ispell on my system if someone can suggest a foolproof script or hack. I've checked the manual pages and haven't been able to find anything. thanks dale
gpg key

Editing Aliases
Hi! I have a *newbie* questioan. Is it good to have my muttrc setup files configured so I can edit aliases? I have been using the setup files prepared by Sven Guckes (great!) and although everything else is covered, I can find no key sequence that allows me to edit aliases. I am wondering if there is a reason for this? I can't believe that anything this detailed would overlook alias editing, unless it was intentional. thanks
Re: Sven's muttrc-Solved!
* Dale Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010519 22:49]: I've been playing with Sven's bigrc file and it's great! I have one problem that's driving me nuts, though; when I try to edit the muttrc.forall file with vim (also using his vimrc.forall) I get the message: muttrc.forall 1180L, 42084C Editing Messages! Hit ENTER or type command to continue I've looked and searched everywhere to find where I can disable this so vim will remember where I left of when last editing a file, but I can't find it. I'm using the following files .vimrc vimrc.forall .muttrc muttrc.forall mutt.personal Any suggestions? thanks! I found the switch, it was a test header in muttrc.personal.

Re: Save Hook Problem

Save Hook Problem
Finally, after a long time with mutt, I've started using save-hooks. I'm trying to save list messages to a =support mailbox and I've got that. But I'm having a hard time getting mutt to put a copy of the message *I've sent* to the list in my =out mailbox. Here's what I have in my .muttrc thus far: save-hook '~C mutt-users' =support fcc-save-hook '~C mutt-users' =out save-hook ~l =%Osave-hook send-hook ~l 'push f^Uenter I'm using 1.3.15i version of mutt.
debian-user save hook
I'm very pleased with mutt, it's a great program. Particularly the way it handles high volumes of mail. One question though: How do I set up a save hook for the debian-user list so that it will save selected messages to a +support mailbox? I tried the from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that doesn't work.. Any suggestions? thanks

invoking manual
Recently I did a 2.2 cd install of debian. Before I'd been running the libranet version of debian. I am sourcing the keybind-1.2i file and it has F1 linked to the mutt manual. But, it doesn't work. Trying to get vim to read a .gz file doesn't work either, whereas it used to work with the libranet version. I'm missing some package or configuration, can someone clue me to what it is? I have bash, sh, zsh shells installed. I have vim-rt, vim-tcl installed. thanks

Re: invoking manual
F1 brings up the manual perfectly from the console, and also in Xterm. But it doesn't work with Eterm. I just noticed another problem, and that is vim is not colorizing the .muttrc file, I'm searching now for information on the display. thanks Osamu Aoki [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: Are you in Linux console or in some kind of terminal emulator/XTERM.

Re: Read receipt and return receipt
Does Exim support dsn notify and dsn return? If so, can I just set those variables?

I have already RTFM, and know that there are two variables in mutt to support this: ``$dsn_notify'' and ``$dsn_return''. But these are somehow rely on sendmail command line options. I use postfix, and I have no clue how I could make these variables work for me. ( I suppose I have to put them into my .muttrc, but I do not want read receipts on all my messages sent, I want to activate this option in some rare cases, with some messages...How could I do that with mutt? Any help would be appreciated... Viktor
