Sending via command line and record/sent

I've found that sending mail as root saves a copy in /root/mail/Sent/,
whereas sending as my user doesn't seem to keep a record at all.

The only difference between root and user is that root is using mbox
and user is maildir.

Is there some way around this?

Relative timestamp ?

Hi,

Is it in any way possible to have mutt show relative time instead of just date for emails ?

i.e. 10 min ago, Today, yesterday, 2 days ago and then dates when beyond a week.

Similar to what thunderbird, gmail, apple mail and other mail clients do ?

I looked in the various format strings I could find but couldn't find anything.

Thanks,
Max

Sending mail to mutt-users from gmail ?

Hey,

I got all html stuff disabled on gmail webui but when I try post here
via gmail my emails are being rejected as being html mail.

Anyone know how to avoid that for the times where I don't have access to mutt ?

Search utilities for use with mutt - I use mairix but it's not perfect

I currently use mairix to search through my mutt mail, it's OK but has a
couple of disadvantages:-

    It's word oriented so one can't search for anything that it doesn't
    recognise as a word, I'd really prefer REs or something like.

    It 'finds' the relevant messages by copying them to a new folder,
    sometimes this is OK but other times I want to know where the
    original E-Mail is.

What other search programs work well with mutt?

Any way to speed up regexp based coloring in bodies?

Hi,
I have this rule in my muttrc:
color body color163 default "(http|https|ftp)://"
(this is simplified version, I was checking if there are no problems
when using more complicated things).

And it works fine.

But - every now and then I get email that is rather large (64kB), and it
contains many urls (~ 900).
And in this case - displaying such mail takes long time (6-8 seconds).

Strace shows that the time is not spent in any syscall, so I guess it's
internal processing.

Is there any way to speed up such coloring?

Or, perhaps - make color rule work only for messages smaller than x kB ?

Best regards,

depesz

Correct .muttrc format for Maildir

I've been connecting to my fastmail.fm account directly via IMAP for a
while now with no issues.  Recently, I've decided to use offlineimap to
mirror the content locally to a Maildir directory.

I've been trying to change my .muttrc to reflect the change so that it
points to the local files.  While I'm seeing the mail in each subscribed
folder, some of the expected behavior is not working ('c' prompting to
change to the next folder with new messages).

The local mail folders are located in ~/.mail/fastmail/ and look like:

drwx------   5 trey  staff   170 May  5 21:40 .Drafts/
drwxr-xr-x   3 trey  staff   102 May  5 19:12 .notmuch/

OT making ascii tables

Hello All,

from this list (I can't find it anymore) I got a brilliant recipe to
make plaintext-tables like so:

=====
.TS
box tab(|);
cb|cb|cb|cb.
Year | Hurricane | Deaths | Location
.T&
l|c|c|c.
1780|Great Hurricane of 1780|27,500+|Antilles
1998|Hurricane Mitch|18,974 - 21,000|Honduras
1900|Galveston Hurricane|8,000 - 12,000|Cuba, Texas
1974|Hurricane Fifi|8,000 - 10,000|Honduras, Belize
1930|Dominican Republic Hurricane|2,000 - 8,000|Antilles, D.R.
1963|Hurricane Flora|7,186 - 8,000|Haiti, Cuba
.TE

then pipe this text to:

tbl | nroff -Tascii | uniq > output.file

lately tried:

tbl | groff -k -Tutf8 | uniq > output.file 

which works fine and I get german umlauts. But while "cat" will show me the

folder regexp with folder-hook when using IMAPS + MAILDIR

I seem to be having a problem with folder-hook.

I have:

set folder=imaps://blackswan/
set spoolfile=imaps://blackswan/
folder-hook bleah "source ~/.mutt/bleah"

blackswan being the dovecot server hostname.
.mutt/bleah contains:

set from="me <me <at> myemail.com>"
set sendmail="/usr/bin/sendmail"

The folder-hook isn't working and I've tried every combination of 
bleah =bleah/ bleah/ etc that I can think of. Been googling for a 
while and still not found out why it's not working.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

using a file selection command

Hi there,

instead of using the file browser of mutt to select an attachment, I want to
start a specific script / application which returns the file I want to attach.

more concrete: I want to select one of the most recent edited documents from
the desktop index so I do not need to remember where the file is and to browse
through many dir levels.

Is there a way to configure that somehow?

Best regards

Sebastian Tramp

pdf-files destroyed, where are archives?

Hi,

I cannot find archives of the mutt mailing lists. 
On http://www.mutt.org/mail-lists.html is a link "MARC", but it does not seem to work.

I am trying to find an answer to this problem:
When I send a pdf-file as an attachmend, it gets destroyed.
Ubuntu 12.04, mutt Mutt 1.4.2.3i 

Did not happen with older ubuntu but same mutt.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

  ulrich

CLI assistance please

Hi ,
I'm new to mutt , so daft questions
Application
Headless computer running motion , msmtp
At the moment I'm using mailx to send mail to me to notify me of movement detection,
I've tried to send a copy of the MPEG4 .avi as an attachment , and it justs sends 7676 bytes
everytime.
So , Mutt.
It will never receive , only send smtp so the muttrc file can be simplified, this is where I need
help, as all the example scripts are for normal use. I have symlinks in already from  sbin/sendmail
to sbin/msmtp
my mailrc file just has one line 
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"

What do I need to put in the muttrc file to do the same, allowing for attachments to be mpeg4  ~?
The current mail command in the motion.conf file is:-

on_movie_start echo ["Camera detection" %d/%m/%Y  %H:%M:%S--%v] |mailx -s "Movement Detected
%d/%m/%Y  %H:%M:%S" -a  /Files/motion-pics/%d-%m-%Y_%H:%M-%v.avi richard <at> g8jvm.info

That all on one line, 

Many thanks
