address alias file for mutt from command line

Dear mutt community:
Recently I found that
echo | mutt -s subjetc -a attachment recipient <at> host

extremely convenient to use especially if you have lots of attachments.

The only problem is that the recipient name is sometimes cumbersome to type.

I wonder if there is an alias file that I can edit for this purpose.

Thanks for any pointers,
Zhang

Re: address alias file for mutt from command line

i think you can find your alias file and edit it directly.

Enhance mutt to recognize window resizing

Has there ever been any discussion regarding this issue?  Other programs,
such as the vim editor, can deal with the terminal window being resized
while the program is running, but mutt is unforgiving.  Mutt recognizes
the terminal size when started, but if you stretch or shorten the terminal
height or width during a running session, then the display can get totally
screwed up.  Couldn't mutt be made to respond to these size changes the
same way vim does?  It would make the program much more flexible.

I don't know what version of mutt you are using, but the 1.5 branch
have handled this for as long as I can remember using it. It could be
dependent on your OS version, terminal program or factors outside of
mutt's control.

Fedora 6 and later, mutt and any of gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt,
rxvt-unicode, aterm, eterm or mlterm has worked fine for me.

It would be interesting to know a bit more about your setup (and
looking at the date, find out if this is a wind-up ;).

..and terminal abstraction library, i.e. curses. One unsolved issue is:

Ah yes, you are correct.  I'm still using version 1.4.2.1i because all
later versions have serious keyboard mapping problems on my Sun Solaris 10
SPARC system.  I'm sure that it is related to ncurses and that there is
probably some solution for the problems I have, but I now remember spending
a huge amount of time trying to get my macros assigned to the function and
keypad keys to work under 1.5 and finally gave up and went back to 1.4.  It
has been so long that I have been living with 1.4 that I forgot that I was 
using the old version.  Thanks for setting me straight and I'm sorry for
bringing up an old subject like this.

Re: Compiling mutt for OS X; using SMTP option. What libraries

I would have thought so. I think the issue was that i had told  
configure to USE SASL, but hadn't specified where it was located.

I have since gotten Mutt to compile and work.

Thanks,

Russ

I've been using mutt for 10+ years, and resizing has always
worked fine for me under both Linux and Solaris, using both
slrn and ncurses.

That feature has been there since day 1.
