 Hi all,
 
 I've used Mutt for a while now and never had any issues with
 performance, but my latest install feels really laggy. On an index
 screen there's a gap of half a second or so between hitting a key and
 the cursor moving, which means I've had loads of trouble with
 selecting messages, etc.

Start it without the config file and see if it improves.


Thanks for the input. I've tried starting it without calling in my
config and that fixes the issue. Now to go through my config and work
out what's causing the slowdown...

Mutt slow to respond?

[Nigel Green]

Hi all,

I've used Mutt for a while now and never had any issues with
performance, but my latest install feels really laggy. On an index
screen there's a gap of half a second or so between hitting a key and
the cursor moving, which means I've had loads of trouble with
selecting messages, etc.

My latest install is on a Crunchbang GNU/Linux system, running Mutt
1.5.21.

Thanks,
Nigel

Different signature/tag line each day/email.

[Nigel Tamplin]

Hello,

I have noticed that many people have a humorous tag line at the end of
their emails.

I have also read in the mutt docs that you can pipe the output of a
command into your signature.

I want to combine these, so that when I compose an email it picks a
tag line from a collection of tag lines and sets that as the
signature.

Are there any tools/ scripts written that do this?

Thanks,

mutt, xterm and missing colors.

[Nigel Tamplin]

How do the color names in the muttrc file related to real colors on
the screen.

I am running mutt on Solaris within an xterm.

If I set TERM=vt100, everything works, but only in black and white.

If I leave TERM=xterm, then I get colors, however the only colours that seem
to work are white, brightyellow and black.

Meaning that if the muttrc contains the line:

color tree magenta default

Then the magenta won't show up at all, making my thread trees black on black.

What do I need to do?

Thanks,

Moving email to other folders

[nigel]

Hi,

I would like to be able to move a load of tagged emails into another mailbox.

I have worked out how to tag and copy them, but then I have to go through the
list and delete each one in turn.

Is there a way to move, or copy and automatically delete messages to another
mailbox.

Thanks,

Different From addressed depending on ?

[nigel]

Hi,

I would like to be able to use a different "from" address for some emails
I send.

This is because I have 2 email addresses, home and work.

Sometimes I send email from home to my work collegues, I would like these
emails to be from my work address.  So as not to confuse my collegues and
give the impression I'm at work when really I'm at home :)

How would I configure mutt to select the correct from address based on a
condition.  And what condition could I use?

I have set up a mailbox just for my work emails, could mutt detect that I'm
viewing a work mailbox when I hit the "m" key, and set the from address to
my work email address?

Or is there a better condition that could be checked, like the presence of
my works domain name in the to or cc fields maybe?

Thanks,

Nigel Tamplin.

mutt - sendmail - sendmail hub. sendmail.cf anyone?

[nigel]

Hi,

Does anyone use mutt with local sendmail, where the local sendmail is
configured to forward all mail to a central hub?

If so could I have a look at your sendmail.cf or relevant m4 file?

Thanks,
