mutt_error _("Could not create temporary file!")

Hello,

After upgrading mutt from the 1.5.11 version to the 1.5.14 one, it complains "Could not create temporary
file!" when trying to view messages.

My $tmpdir is set to ~/tmp. I assume this has to do with file or directory protections, but I don't know how
solving the problem.

Thanks.

What file system is your home directory on?

Thanks, ok. I'll try to have some help form Cygwin's users team.

Add a "Bcc: his-gmail-address".
Instant reply archive.

NEWBIE: realname only uses first name?

I'm trying to set up my first instance of mutt, and am having some
problems with the realname setting. I'm using mutt 1.4.1i on a RHEL4
system. Here's part of my ~/.muttrc file (domain name obscured):
[malariafreefuture.org <at> www ~]$ cat .muttrc 
set mbox_type=Maildir
<snip>
mailboxes =ghana
<snip>
# Set the From: header to 'ghana <at> malariaxxxfuture.org' in the 'ghana'
mailbox
folder-hook ghana set from = "ghana <at> malariaxxxfuture.org"
folder-hook ghana set realname = 'Ghana Malaria Project'
#folder-hook ghana set use_from=yes
#folder-hook ghana set envelope_from=yes

# Set the From: header back in the general mailbox area.
<snip>

When I use this configuration file, I'm able to select the 'ghana'
folder. When I do, the message 'Malaria: unknown variable' appears
briefly at the bottom of the screen. When I compose a reply, the From:
header appears as:
From: Ghana <ghana <at> malariaxxxfuture.org>

There doesn't seem to be any strange characters in the realname line:
[malariafreefuture.org <at> www ~]$ grep Malaria .muttrc | cat -vet 
folder-hook ghana set realname = 'Ghana Malaria Project'$
[malariafreefuture.org <at> www ~]$ grep Malaria .muttrc | hexdump -C
00000000  66 6f 6c 64 65 72 2d 68  6f 6f 6b 20 67 68 61 6e  |folder-hook
ghan|

Basically: you need more quoting.

See http://WIKI.mutt.org/?DebugConfig
-> Quoting
-> MuttGuide/ Syntax

Re: NEWBIE: realname only uses first name?

Rado, thank you very much. For the archives, here's my correctly working
section:
# Set the From: header to 'ghana <at> malariaxxxfuture.org' in the 'ghana'
mailbox
folder-hook ghana 'set from = "ghana <at> malariaxxxfuture.org"'
folder-hook ghana 'set realname = "Ghana Malaria Project"'

Thanks, again.

Custom Hotkeys

I'd like to change a few of the default Mutt hotkeys, but I can't find
anything about changing the defaults on the net.

I'm looking to change L to l and l to L, as well as use J/K to scroll
through the message as opposed to scrolling between messages (It feels
much cleaner used alongside Vim).

Thanks for your help again.

See "bind" in TFM

The help screen (?) can also be helpful in getting an idea of the names
of functions and the (current) bindings.
