Moving a non-trivial mail setup to mutt

2008-01-23 Thread Dan H
Hello, for the umptieth time I'm trying to give mutt a spin. I've heard it recommended many times, and I'd like to try it out. After getting dissatisfied with pine I've come a long way to Claws-Mail via Opera and Thunderbird. I'm happy with Claws except that I'm not happy with GUI apps in general.

Grouping commands in muttrc?

2008-01-24 Thread Dan H.
Hello, please note that I'm sending this from mutt. It was an uphill battle and I'm still not sure if I won, but I'm getting there. One question: Is it possible to group commands after, for instance, a folder-hook? Like when I move into a folder I want a whole bunch of commands executed. Or do I

Whose bug is this: Mutt or Claws?

2008-01-25 Thread Dan H.
Hello, me again. I haven't entirely said good-bye to Claws, and I'm using mutt and Claws on the same MH folder hierarchy. There are two kinds of directories: Pure MH dirs which contain nothing but numbered message files and the .mh_sequences tag, and parent directories of those which contain nothi

A few mutt questions

2008-01-26 Thread Dan H.
Hello people, I'm increasingly happy with mutt. But I still have a few questions: 1. I'd like to have new or unread mail (what's the difference, anyway?) flagged somehow. Occasionally I see an N next to some messages, but in general mutt seems to completely oblivious to what's new or unreae

How to identify unread (new/old) mail -- another bit of info

2008-01-28 Thread Dan H.
Hello, mutt still refuses to identify mail that hasn't been read. Even if new mail comes in during a session while the inbox is open. But here's the thing: 1. No MUA is running, mail comes into inbox. 2. I open mutt. All mail shows up as "read". 3. I quit mutt. 4. I start Claws-Mail. Inbox sh

Hello, encrypting, signing, checking signatures: all works. Sort of. Two hassles: 1. I can't access encrypted mail that I send. When I try to read it, I get "Could not copy message". 2. when I receive an encrypted mail, I see a text block of gibberish that I have to manually pipe through
