Although the basic X-Label idea and code were absorbed into 1.3, these extended features were not, so you should expect to re-apply this patch each time you upgrade Mutt. Thomas's feeling was that the x-label editing was superfluous, since you can edit the field with edit-message and an editor macro. But the Mandrake people might be willing to include patches in their RPM -- perhaps you could write to them and ask. (BTW, I'll note that the '%y' expando conflicts with a recent patch from Mike Schiraldi, and the 'y' binding conflicts with catchup or something from Vsevolod Volkov's NNTP patch. Such is life -- just be forewarned.) -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

According to the FHS, you can use /usr/local for this purpose as a distribution should do nothing to the tree apart from initialise the directory structure. /opt is meant for large software systems like athena, gnome or kde. -- Benjamin Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] msg22212/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Hope the patch for X-label editing can be merged into mutt soon
Hi,thank you all, That's exactly the function I want. But because it's a sourcer-level patch that I need to patch-compile-install. I'm afraid that might cause trouble with my current installation from rpm package by Mandrake 8.1. I'll wait some while for that rpm comes. Thank you. best regards, charlie On Sat, Dec 29, 2001 at 11:49:20PM -0500, David T-G wrote: I *highly* recommend these patches (as appropriate for your version of mutt). The X-Label: header is invaluable. The one thing I don't know whether or not it can do is be used in a fcc expando like fcc-save-hook . =archive/%y or some such.
