Biff ?

Hi all,

Is there a way to inform my shell that new mails arrived into my
mh folders ? I can't find this information.

Thank you.

Xavier

Re: Biff ?


Hi,

It's a bit arcane, and I haven't set it up myself, but I think
you want to look at "rcvtty", possibly in combination with
delivery rules in your .maildelivery file.

Details are in   http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/mh/nmenorc.htm

I use xfaces which displays icons on my desktop for each mail message.
If you also install the picons database, then you'll have photos for
lots of companies or for some of us on the net (although most of them
are from a Usenix conference in the 80s ;-).

I configure xfaces via .Xresources:

XFaces.annotation1.shapeText:	true
XFaces.annotation1.foreground:	grey50
XFaces.annotation2.shapeText:	true
XFaces.annotation2.foreground:	grey50
XFaces.annotationCount:		2
XFaces.facedbPath:		/home/wohler/.picons:/usr/share/picons/users:/usr/lib/picon/usenix:/usr/share/picons/domains:/usr/share/picons/misc:/usr/share/picons/unknown:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xfaces/images
XFaces.frame.maxWidth:		1
XFaces.imagePath:		/home/wohler/.picons:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xfaces/images
XFaces.imageSearch:		x-face\nu <at> h\nfacedb
XFaces.listCommand:		mhfaces
XFaces.unknownAnnotation1.shapeText:	true
XFaces.unknownAnnotation1.foreground:	grey50
XFaces.unknownAnnotation2.shapeText:	true
XFaces.unknownAnnotation2.foreground:	grey50
XFaces.unknownAnnotationCount:	2

The mhfaces script mentioned in the XFaces.listCommand is attached. You
could modify it to also list unseen messages in your folders.

Three questions

(1) How can I tell MH-E not to show me the header 

       X-Mailer: MH-E 7.84; nmh 1.1; GNU Emacs 21.4.1

    in my draft buffer?  I'd prefer not to see it.

(2) I am seeing headers in my show buffer that I don't want to see.  I
    have this variable set in my .emacs:

    (setq mh-visible-headers
       (concat "^From:\\|^Subject:\\|^To:"
               "\\|^Cc:\\|^Bcc:"))

    And it used to work a while back, but some MH-E version upgrade
    along the way apparently broke this.  How can I get this to work
    again?

(3) How can I tell MH-E what order I want to see headers in my show
    buffer?  Nearly all email clients these days canonicalize the order
    of email headers for display (and I used to have mhl canonicalize
    the header order for me in MH-E, but some upgrade of MH-E prevented
    this from working well).

(4) I have a script that pretends to be "inc" but does mail filtering
    for me.  It has been getting confused lately, and so I put in some
    debugging code, and trapped the output of the real nmh inc.  This is
    what it looked like:

?9  02/05 "Liz Zukowski"     FW: OTG / OTG-DEV Servers<<This is a multi-part me
?0  02/05 "Sonia Wills"      remark<<CALL YOUR STOCK BROKER AND ASK ABOUT HPGI

Hi Douglas,

I only know the (partial) answer to one of your questions.

This appears to work on setting *invisible* rather than *visible* header
fields, now.  Take a look at the variables

mh-invisible-header-fields-default

and 

mh-clean-message-header-flag

Setting the latter to non-nil will cause MH-E to clean your message
header; you can add additional fields to clean to
mh-invisible-header-fields.  It does seem, though, that having to
specify *every* field you don't want to see (without regular
expressions!) is somewhat inefficient compared to setting what you *do*
want to see.  I guess it saves you from missing something, though I

Re: Three questions

Hi Doug,

I'd encourage you to read the release notes in MH-E-NEWS. I spend a lot
of time making sure I cover everything so not to surprise unsuspecting
MH-E users ;-).

If you don't want to advertise MH-E at all (shame on you ;-), then turn
off mh-insert-x-mailer-flag.

If you do, but don't want to see it in your draft, you could take
several approaches. One is to make the field invisible. You'll have to
RTFM how to do that (or bribe Satyaki to tell you). You'd set up a
mh-compose-letter-function to do it. Alternatively, turn off
mh-insert-x-mailer-flag, and then add something like the following code
to your mh-before-send-letter-hook:

  (let ((mh-insert-x-mailer-flag t))
    (mh-insert-x-mailer))

sequence definitions helper/ui/AI


I have a long shell script called "seq.sh" which sorts my inbox into
sequences.  Often, I then sort it into folders, but I tend not to,
because I find that multiple inboxes just means I don't read things.

Alas, maintenance of seq.sh is annoying. Things get old.
I have to make one pass through the inbox per sequence I want to create,
and most annoying, I often don't know which rule got matched if the
sequences are not done right.

I'm looking for a smarter program to maintain things.
Best would be if it ran under (X-)Emacs, but I don't care.
I'm going to try exmh (which I haven't run in ten years), to see if it
has something nicer... but I'm looking for suggestions.

I would specifically like to have something that would review all of the
List-Id: headers and map those intelligently to sequences.  Perhaps
what I want is a perl plugin to "pick".

Any ideas?

Could you use procmail to do this?  Then you'd effectively be using
egrep regular expressions - not *too* different from those in perl.
Your action in each "recipe" could be to deliver the message to your
inbox, then run 'pick' with "last" for a message number and -nozero to
add the message to an existing sequence without zeroing out the
sequence.

I haven't tried this - one worry is that "last" might end up not being
the message you want, if multiple messages are arriving close together.
I don't know any way offhand in procmail to get the MH message number
for the message currently being acted upon, though.

Just a thought -

Eric

Can't search with mairix ?

Hi,

I am pretty happy with MH-E (and MH system more globally) but I
have a problem with searching.

I installed onto my slackware GNU/linux system, mairix 0.19. I
set it up as indicated into the manual.

My DB is up and functionnal (tested from the command line). The
problem comes when doing search from mh-e.

Where command line returns result (about 191), mairix through
MH-E just returns 0 result with exactly the *same* query.

What's wrong ?

MH(-E) on Microsoft ?

Hi,

Is MH(-E) usable fron a Microsoft Windows platform without having
to use cygwin ? I am looking for this.

At least, if I have to use cygwin, do you have informations on
how to do this ?
