.muttrc config help.
hi, I have lost my .muttrc config file. there is a couple of variables which I am having trouble resetting in my new file. to view my mail box I have to type "mutt -f ~/Maildir" what variables do I have to set to make this happen in my .muttrc file ?? also my mail server is, "mail.mydomain.co.uk" so mail I send comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] how do I set it to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pretty simple I know but I have not got a reference point. Thanks, Matt.

And which of those values are not default. Vim has a "scriptnames" command, which "[l]ist[s] all sourced script names, in the order they were first sourced." I find it to be *very* useful, and something similar should be considered for inclusion if a variable dump is added to mutt.

And because mutt allows inclusion of other files, some script here and some script there, it would be helpfull to have a dump of what mutt will really use. And which of those values are not default.

I suggest to *not* do such things at startup in mutt -
you might regret it later, eg when you just want to
take a look at a folder but *not* download any mails.
Either use the builtin "fetch-mail" command ('G')
or bind 'G' to start the external "fetchmail".
issue when necessary. that's best.

Optimising my muttrc
Hello, I need some help with my muttrc. I'm still running 1.2.5 as I still can't get the pager to work in 1.3.27... I have 5 main e-mail addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED], @x-ray.org, @imprezaturbo.org, @euronet.nl and @euro.net. I have set up different environments through folder-hooks in my muttrc, but not everything works correctly, for example the 'set postponed' option. What did I do wrong and how can I make my muttrc more readable and efficient? Any help is welcome..

Unfortunately it's not easy to tell always whether it's a transitory failure, or something more permanent. The biggest pain is Hotmail, which on occassion will start dropping lots of email, then go back to "normal" service. Other pains are when people misconfigure procmail recipes and then their mail starts bouncing too.

For some reason I was unsubed from this list without warning. Anyone know why that would be? Anyway, according to http://mutt.netliberte.org, the muttrc builder code is under the GPL.

Paths not read from muttrc?
I've got a with some pathes that I set in my muttrc being ignored. A while back I wrote about print_command not being set correctly. That problem could be worked around by manually setting print_command after mutt had started, which isn't a big deal since I don't print many emails. Now, I've found a similar problem with mailcap_path - it is always set to ".mailcap:". This also can be worked around by always running mutt from my home directory, but it is annoying. I know that my muttrc is being read, since other variables are set correctly. And even some paths are set correctly. For instance if I've set alias_file to some arbitrary filename in my muttrc, the correct value is set. Here's an excerpt from my muttrc: set mailcap_path = ~/.mailcap set print_command = '/usr/local/bin/enscript -2r' And some output from set from inside of mutt: :set mailcap_path mailcap_path=".mailcap:" :set print_command print_command="/usr/ucb/lpr" And from mutt -v: System: SunOS 5.7 [using ncurses 4.2] Compile options: -DOMAIN +DEBUG -HOMESPOOL -USE_SETGID +USE_DOTLOCK -DL_STANDALONE +USE_FCNTL -USE_FLOCK -USE_POP -USE_IMAP -USE_GSS -USE_SSL -USE_SASL +HAVE_REGCOMP -USE_GNU_REGEX +HAVE_COLOR +HAVE_START_COLOR +HAVE_TYPEAHEAD +HAVE_BKGDSET +HAVE_CURS_SET +HAVE_META +HAVE_RESIZETERM +HAVE_PGP -BUFFY_SIZE -EXACT_ADDRESS -SUN_ATTACHMENT +ENABLE_NLS -LOCALES_HACK +HAVE_WC_FUNCS +HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET +HAVE_LANGINFO_YESEXPR +HAVE_ICONV +ICONV_NONTRANS +HAVE_GETSID -HAVE_GETADDRINFO ISPELL="/usr/local/bin/ispell" SENDMAIL="/usr/lib/sendmail" MAILPATH="/var/mail" PKGDATADIR="/home/crumley/local/share/mutt" SYSCONFDIR="/home/crumley/local/etc" EXECSHELL="/bin/sh" -MIXMASTER Any ideas what could be going on?

Evaluation of shell commands in .muttrc
As far as I can tell, anything in backticks inside .muttrc is evaluated when .muttrc is first read. I was wondering if it is possible to have 'lazy evaluation' instead -- ie the shell command is evaluated when the variable is referenced. The reason for this is that I've an extra header as follows: my_hdr X-BOFH-Excuse: `fortune -n 80 -s bofh-excuses | tail -1` The header stays the same for the entire mutt session. I thought to myself that perhaps the my_hdr was only being evaluated once, so I tried the following instead: send-hook . "my_hdr X-BOFH-Excuse: `fortune -n 80 -s bofh-excuses | tail -1`" But that has the same effect, which leads me to believe that the shell command in the backticks is only evaluated once. The obvious solution, I guess, is to modify the $editor variable to insert the header when I enter vim, but that fails if I re-edit the file. Any thoughts? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mathie.cx/~graeme/

Before you go any further, here's a great resource, which I'm sure you'll find invaluable. It's a macro for your 'muttrc' file. Knowing and using this macro makes you an official member of the Mutt family. Here goes macro generic "!less /usr/doc/mutt/manual.txt\n" "Mutt Manual" macro index "!less /usr/doc/mutt/manual.txt\n" "Mutt Manual" macro pager "!less /usr/doc/mutt/manual.txt\n" "Mutt Manual" Cut the above three macros and paste them into your 'muttrc' file.

I'm root@domain, where the domain has thousands of unix machines that I don't operate. People setting up ssmtp *usually* don't take care to make exemptions for root and other system accounts when they set up with "host = domain". This causes no end of trouble. Please, if you use ssmtp with host masquerading in such an environment, make sure to deal appropriately with all system accounts that might send mail. You probably should exempt any account that was in your passwd file before you started adding users. I'd like to see ssmtp have some way of handling this for the most common cases by default.

configuring headers in Muttrc/ssmtp.conf
Thanks to your responses on this list, ssmpt is now running. I still haven't got the headers configured, which is what I wanted to do by installing ssmtp. I have a small network, with the domainname of beechtree-its (no dot-com on the internal network). This is because Windows machines will not take a domainname longer than 15 characters. I sent a simple test message to myself, and the message is coming from workstation.beechtree-its. This is pretty much unacceptable. (security as well as functionality). I put the header from that test message below if it is needed. What I would like to do is have the mail coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I figure the place to do this is either in Muttrc or ssmtp.conf. Any help is much appreciated.

score syntax and escaping in .muttrc
Hello, After five years of intensive mutt use I finally started using scoring (especially since applying that wonderful nntp patch ;). I only have a small problem with the escaping rules and syntax of the "score" commands in my .muttc: folder-hook . unscore ## assign a positive score to all messages folder-hook . score ~A 10 ## kill lame posts from mailing lists folder-hook =[a-z] score ~s'(newbie\\|(un)?subscribe\\|no\\\ subject\\|your\\\ mail)' -10 folder-hook =[a-z] score ~s'^\\\ *(test\\|(re:\\\ )?help\\|)\\\ *$' -10 1) After trial and error I finally understood that spaces must be escaped by three (!) backslashes. Is there a better way? I tried using "" but then mutt complains about "unmatched ( or \" 2) How can I cure the leaning-toothpick syndrome in these recipes? 3) Also I couldn't manage to AND or OR together several pattern matches in one score argument, mutt complains of "score: too many arguments" All in all I'd like to better understand how quoting works in the .muttrc. 4) When trying to match folders from my ~/Mail directory starting with a lowercase alphabetic character, is this the proper way? folder-hook =[a-z] It seems the match is case insensitive, but [:lower:] doesn't work there.

Nothing much. :-) What you did was to allow the editor to start and finish without changing the file's modification time, which Mutt treats as an indication that you didn't actually write a message. I find that this behavior is usually accurate for me, so I don't know how to disable it, but for one *particular* message, all you need to do is make some change to the message body such that emacs can save the message -- typing a letter and then deleting the letter will do. -Rich -- -- Rich Lafferty --- Sysadmin/Programmer, Instructional and Information Technology Services Concordia University, Montreal, QC (514) 848-7625 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Muttrc, IMAP errors over SSH
After searching the mutt-user archives as best I could, here's a question I, as a new Mutt user, haven't yet been able to resolve: I've got a Red Hat Linux 6.2 box at home (this box is behind a firewall which gets IP dialtone from a cable modem). It collects email from my various accounts and serves them up to the machines on my home LAN via an IMAP server. The firewall deliberately blocks folks outside of my home LAN from accessing my mail. Works great. Up until today, I've been telnetting to my home machine from work, and running Mutt over the telnet session. I've configured Mutt to use my home IMAP server. Again, works great. However, it's insecure (transmitting passwords and cleartext over the open Net, etc). I've configured OpenSSH at home, and I'm using PuTTY at work to establish a secure terminal session from work to home. Yet again, works great. HOWEVER: When I telnet into my home machine, I run mutt from the command line. It comes up immediately, automatically connects to my IMAP server, and allows me to browse my IMAP folders. When I SSH into my machine, running mutt from the command line results in a long series of .muttrc errors (mostly regarding my PGP commands, which some other errors mixed in). I then am told "Secure login is unavailable. Use cleartext login? ([n]/y):". Finally, when I answer "y", when I attempt to change folders (by pressing "c"), and then attempt to browse my folders (by pressing "?"), I get this message: "IMAP folder browsing is not currently supported". I've checked the environment variables both in telnet shells and in SSH shells; everything appears to be the same, with the exception of the "SSH2_CLIENT" variable set in the SSH shell. Unsetting this variable has no effect on the problem. Finallly, I thought perhaps that this was some strange interaction I'm seeing with PuTTY. However, if I use PuTTY to SSH into my box, then telnet to localhost from the same PuTTY terminal, the problem goes away. Huh?!? Thanks very much in advance for anyone's help on this. Mutt's been such a good program to me so far. B-

I have a work key and a personal key. I am subscribed to dozens of email addresses under each ID/key, meaning that it would take well over 100 folder-hook's to supply either of two key-ids to each folder. If I had had the foresight to name the folders work-mbox, work-cisco-users, me-mbox, me-mutt, me-gnupg-users, etc, then I could now use a regexp in a folder hook. Unfortunately, this is not feasible. I currently read my mail via a zsh script I wrote that checks for mail in each of the folders, and sets my MAILHOST/MAILUSER (used by qmail) environment variables accordingly. I could easily add a couple of lines to this script to also set the 'KEYID' environment variable.

RH7.0: muttrc \n -> \r ??
Jan - The problem is your term-type; Redhat has changed the details of their terminfo entries lately; for instance, changing from RH6.0 to RH6.2 caused Mutt to stop displaying some things correctly (e.g., ACS thread tree display). The only real solution is to work-over the terminfo entries (note: sigh. When I rebuild the termcap db I get compilation errors on several of the *unmodified* entries. Luckily I don't use any of those entries). Until I changed my term type I did indeed get unbound macro problems. You may just be able to change your termtype (esp, to xterm-xfree86), however you will get problems when rlogging to other systems which do not have an xterm-xfree86 termcap/info entry - that's why I suggest modifying the terminfo db (xterm is just an alias for one of several possible xterm-like term defs). Now what RH is trying to accomplish with these terminfo entry changes Idon't know; presumably it makes something else works better, but if so, nothing that I have noticed, /joel Quoting Jan Houtsma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- > > Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 10:05:17 +0200 > From: Jan Houtsma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RH7.0: muttrc \n -> \r ?? > > Running Mutt 1.2.5i (2000-07-28) in a real xterm (not a gnome-terminal) > after changing to RH7.0 in certain macros (not all!) \n gives me a > "Key is not bound.
