How to display a mail in raw format
Hello, I was wondering how one can display any mail in it's pure, raw format within Mutt. So as to get the same result than if I would load the mbox file into an editor and look at a particular message. Did I miss how to do it in the docs? Thank you. Toby

Hi Tobias! if you just want to see all the headers, the command h will show you them. -- michael On Thu, 12 Apr 2001, Tobias Schenk wrote: > Hello, > > I was wondering how one can display any mail in it's pure, raw format within Mutt. >So as to get the same result than if I would load the mbox file into an editor and >look at a particular message. > > Did I miss how to do it in the docs?

I've found that piping the message out to cat (eg. "|cat") or more
(eg. "|more") does the trick for me. This will dump the entire
message, including header, MIME separators, unrecognized (to mutt)
attachments.
Toggling header mode ("h") will let you see all the headers in the
mutt pager, but it won't show you the entire e-mail as "raw" since it
still parser MIME. Editing the messages ("e") doesn't show you all the
headers (at least, not in v1.2.4i that I'm running).

Depends on the editor, perhaps. With vim 5.7 all headers are visible.

How does choice of editor affect which headers are passed to it for editing
by mutt?

I did hit 'h' to show all the headers, and then 'e' to edit the
message in $editor, and all headers were displayed and editable.
If you hit 'e', without turning off header weeding, then $editor
will only open up what you see. Does that work for anyone else?

If I press 'e' with $editor set to vim, I see all headers. Having
pressed 'h' before makes no difference. I have not experimented with
other editors (emacs, joe, pico, etc) to see if there is any difference
in behavior.

I don't see how it could plausibly depend on the editor since it's mutt
that decides what to give to the editor to edit.
But now that I look at it in more detail, it looks like I actually *am*
getting all the headers in the editor (of course, I have to have
"edit_hdrs" set in .muttrc to get any headers). I thought I wasn't
getting all the Received: lines and the initial From_ line, but if I
scroll up in the editor, I see them. It must have been an artifact of
invoking vim with the argument '+/^$' to have it search for the first
blank line; that scrolls most of the header lines off the screen.

My bindings are default as respects these. Escape e yields resend, e opens vim. Resend-message produces just the standard headers. e produces the whole landslide of 'em :) John > -- > Thomas Roessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- John P. Verel Norwalk, CT
