Regexps suddenly case-sensitive?
Hi all, I recently upgraded from Slackware 12.2 to Slackware 13.0. I installed mutt 1.5.20 from source both on the old and on the new system. I copied over my mutt config files to the new system, so they are identical. For some reason, since I did the OS upgrade, mutt's regular expressions are case-sensitive. I noticed this with several hooks that use regexps and also with the variable reply_regexp, which all of a sudden doesn't match capitalized Re: anymore, with the result that when I reply to a message, an additional Re: is added to the subject line, even if it begins with Re: already. I hadn't changed it from the default value, which always worked fine. I changed reply_regexp to ^(Re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|Aw):[ \t]*, and then noticed some more odd behaviour. If I'm in a remote IMAP mailbox, the regexp still doesn't do its job. If I hit 'r' to reply to a message, an additional Re: gets appended to the subject. But if I copy the message to a local mail box (all mbox in my case) and reply from it there, suddenly it works and no extra Re: is added. Anyone have an idea what might be the cause of this? Like I said, I had no such problem on slackware 12.2, it only started happening the past few days since the upgrade, even though I'm running the same mutt version with the same config files...

I changed reply_regexp to ^(Re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|Aw):[ \t]*, and then noticed Use ^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[ \t]* and see whether the behavior changes. -- -D.d...@uchicago.eduNSITUniversity of Chicago

That's the default setting, which I had never changed, so it's the one that causes the behaviour... -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments

How did you complile the newer Mutt--did you modify the Slackbuild? I took the Slackbuild from the Slackware source tree for mutt 1.4.something. All I changed was the version and build numbers in the Slackbuild, nothing else. See http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3341 which may nor may not help you... Thanks, it did. :-) I first removed --enable-locales-fix and --without-wc-funcs, which solved the problem for local mail boxes, but not for IMAP mail boxes. Then I removed --enable-pop, and for some reason, now it works again in IMAP mail boxes as well... Why the POP3 code should have this effect is beyond me, but there it is... -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
