Mutt in xterm

1999-11-11 Thread Subba Rao

I am a newbie to Mutt and have several questions. I us Mutt in xterms
in FVWM2 (and not in any other Window Manager). The version of Mutt
on my system is 1.0us

The colors do not seem to work. I have several questions about the
huge configuration options available for mutt.

1. I would like the index section with paging section, while using mutt.
2. How do I view messages that are threaded? 
  10 N T Nov 11 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  (   0) Lottery Winners
   When I use 'n' after reading a note in the thread, mutt goes to the
   next email (not threaded), in the index.
3. Last but least, how do I get colors to work?

I have included my muttrc below. Any suggestions to get the features I want
to work, is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Uh... did you try reading the manual?  No offense, but this is all answered
in there.  Maybe you don't think you have time to read the manual, but
neither do the rest of us have time to read it for you.

I'll give you answers this time, but next time please try to find them on
your own first.

'n' isn't bound to anything by default in the index screen, and it's bound
to 'search-next' in the pager... and your .muttrc doesnt' seem to change
this, so I'm not sure how to answer this.

> 3. Last but least, how do I get colors to work?

Make sure your TERM is set to something that is defined as having colors,
such as xterm-color.  If that doesn't, see the section on this question in
the FAQ.

> Where is the outgoing mail saved? How do I see what email
> I have sent through mutt?

If $copy is set to yes, it's saved based on the value of $record... though
this can be overridden by a few other vars, see the manual.  You can read
this mail by using the 'c' command to change to the folder you saved the
mail in using these settings.
