Re: New Mutt User Question
Hi, * Ken Ficara [EMAIL PROTECTED] [01-11-29 16:58]: I have a directory full of Unix mailboxes. I put a statement into my .muttrc like so: set folder=/path/to/my/directory/of/mailboxes I then start mutt so: mutt -y and mutt sez No incoming mailboxes defined. Huh? What am I doing wrong? Nothing that I know of, but you leave something out: mailboxes `find /path/to/my/directory/of/mailboxes -type f -print | grep -Ev '(log|backup|sent|postponed|trash)' | xargs` Somebody asked me about the xarg, and I couldn't really say whether Mutt accepts one mailbox per line. I never tried: Never change a running system. $folder sets only the '=' and '+' special variables. I think. What I'm trying to do is start up mutt with a browser listing all the mailboxes in that directory. That should work now.

Hi, On Thu, 29 Nov 2001 Thorsten [EMAIL PROTECTED] spewed into the ether: [-- snip --] No incoming mailboxes defined. Huh? What am I doing wrong? Nothing that I know of, but you leave something out: mailboxes `find /path/to/my/directory/of/mailboxes -type f -print | grep -Ev '(log|backup|sent|postponed|trash)' | xargs` Ahh .. neato ! earlier I had : mailboxes `find ~/Email -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name sent-mail ! -name postponed -printf %p ` But, that becomes way too tedious as the list increases. The egrep/xargs combination works wonderfully. Thanks :-) Somebody asked me about the xarg, and I couldn't really say whether Mutt accepts one mailbox per line. I never tried: Never change a running system. Yes, xargs just echoes them one-by-one, I guess. pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan [EMAIL PROTECTED]What, me worry ? http://www.symonds.net/~prahladv/Don't Panic ! -- msg20812/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

* Dave Kufta [EMAIL PROTECTED] [000820 19:51]: pgp-6.5.1I . I noticed in some screenshots a very nice interface for mutt in xwindow enviroment which had very nice color and a menu bar at the top which included a button for pgp among others. Could someone on the list possibly suggest where I may find a muttrc file that would allow these features. I found the screenshot I'm referring to at the main web site for mutt but don't see in any of the muttrc files that are there a way to enable the menu bar. If you take another, closer look at the text accompanying the screenshots, you will read that the menu bar does not belong to mutt, but is a feature of the terminal application mutt runs in (in this screenshot it's ETerm, rxvt can do it too, maybe other). -- christian molls student of laws univ of cologne

** Reply to message from Christian Molls [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Sun, 20 Aug 2000 20:01:39 +0200 Thank's for your response Christian, I have run both eterm and rxvt and see nothing in thier menubar that appears like that. I will take a closer look. Thank's, Dave

Re: New mutt user, resend
I think you may be referring to Eterm. Eterm is a modern replacement for
Xterm, as I understand it. On the links page of the mutt home page,
their is a link to get that menu, however I know it only works with the
0.8.10 version of Eterm, and not the most recent of 0.9.x version.
I just did an ls. Here it is.
