Re: How to get the current folder in a macro and pass i to a Script? [WAS: Taking notes using Mutt threads]
Sorry - my bad. As you probably noticed, I was using an old version of mutt - I upgraded my OS, but the new upgrade had the old version of Mutt. everything's ok now - and the note taking works fine - thanks to all the contributors to this thread :) Michael

Hi, Jose. That is a very interesting set up you have and it would be great if you could post the relevant parts of your muttrc file and the configuration of Postfix.

It seems to me a simple question and I seem to remember being able to do it, but now when I try to remember how I did it, I can't find the way. There's a discussion of the problem, in french, here: http://linuxfr.org/forums/10/6606.html where they sum up the problem as a mail server without a mail server. The best solution they came up with, it seems to me, was using getmail_mbox or getmail_maildir, and putting that in a script and putting set sendmail=/path/to/my/myscript.sh presumably as part of a hook, in the rc file. Any ideas? Harry On 10.08.29, j...@telefonica.net wrote: Hi, friends. Mutt is marvellous, I start with it only some days ago and now I have configured it very very funtional to my taste.

How to get the current folder in a macro and pass i to a Script? [WAS: Taking notes using Mutt threads]
Hello *,
I am working on a Web-Mail interface and I use MANY functions of mutt.
In my WebMail interface I can add Notes and Files to a mailfolder or
even a Message... This works, because it is all about virtualisation.
So, sometimes I like to do this in mutt to and generaly it can be done
easyly with a macro.
ATTENTION: It is recommended to use Maildir
1) Go into a mailfolder and now you want to store a file in it
2) Write a new mail and attach the file and Save the file with Fcc:
To do this, you need a macro which does:
a) set sendmail=/dev/null
b) my_hdr From: local_n...@invalid
b) my_hdr Fcc: ${current_folder}
and thats all.
But HOW CAN I GET the ${current_folder} dynamicaly in a macro?
The same problem with the ${current_folder} is, if you use a script
instead of sendmail, which let you do much morethings...
e.g.: SHIFTF2 let you attach a NOTE or FILE to a folder
SHIFTF3 let you attach a NOTE or FILE to a message
However, even here the script sendmail_local has to know the current
folder which it can get with
my_hdr X-CurFolder: ${current_folder}
by extracting it from the mail.
Note: I am using already an sendmailwraper called tdssmtp which
is based on ssmtp and of course, tdssmtp ignore any
messages with some specialy (for 2tdssmtp) crafted headers
And last not least, if you use the Courier Mailfdir Format and like to
use a script, to enhance the function of mutt and your /Maildir/, you
can add an additional folder like
~/Maildir/courierimapacl
courierimapkeywords/
courierimapuiddb
cur/
files/== That it is!
new/
tmp/
and let the script manage this special files folder. Then you can use
at your choice dialog or Xdialog to manage it, which is what I
heavyly do since many years.
Note: You can even manage the /files/ folder from procmail. :-D
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

Anyone have an even easier hack? Do you have a command-line tool that copies stdin to your pasteboard or clipboard? (MacOS X has pbcopy. When I used X11, I used an Xaw program called 'xcb' for similar purposes. I see references to something called 'xclip', but I don't know what's current in the window managers people use these days.) Use that as your print command, or embed it in a macro to accomplish the same via pipe-message or decode-copy. In the latter approach you can add dressing to select only the decoded message body, etc. You likely can paste with a similar solution -- pbpaste on MacOS, or xcb/xclip/whatever on X11. '!!pbpaste' is pretty easy vs. ':r /tmp/some-draft-file'. -- David Champion * d...@uchicago.edu * IT Services * University of Chicago
