Hi,
I'm trying to build mutt 1.4 on solaris 7 but the "make install" fails -
yes, I know it's really me that's failing here!
My configure command is ./configure --without-iconv --enable-pop
The tail of make is: (simliar for make install)
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/h
I'm a new user on mutt1.4, sol7. After trying mutt from a script (using -e
etc to save attachments) it worked fine. Unfortunately I must have this auto
and the cron fails due no tty (says No Recipient). I couldn't find an
elegant solution to this but I did get it to work by telling mutt that STDIN
Make sure you have environment variables LD_RUN_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set
to /usr/local/lib.

I use mutt to get mail off a pop server:
Use the -f option to specify mailbox and -e startup options, run the whole
thing from the command line:
mutt -f pop://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ -e 'push somestrings'
This will work but only if executed from a tty. If you are trying to do this
from cron
I recently installed mutt (1.4) on a number of solaris machines: sol7 and
sol8. I needed libiconv and I certainly had to be root, regardless of my
target. It was not a simple install but it did work reliably once I did the
configure correctly per below:
I first set LD_RUN_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I am using mutt (another newbie) as a sub-set of another process, i.e
unattended. The mutt section is intended to go into a mailbox and save mail
that matches a subject pattern, delete that mail and then quit
automatically. This is relatively easy using push, tag pattern, tag prefix,
save message;
When I use uuencode (uuencode somefile somefile2 | mail address) it comes
across as an attachment in outlook but not in mutt. When I send an
attachment from mutt to mutt (or outlook to mutt) it comes in as an
attachment that doesn't require uudecode. I know that I can save the encoded
version from
The "mutt -z" (or Z) works in that mutt will exit immediately if there is no
mail. However, if a "-f" option is passed specifying a pop server as the
mailbox, in addition to "-z", mutt will assume a file type mailbox and quit
indicating no mailbox file even though there is mail in the pop account.
