more mutt stuff

more mutt stuff

[Deedra Waters]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1403 bytes --]

Ok, so after toby's suggestion I decided to stick with mutt.from what I
can tell the pgp thing won't compile with my version of perl to make gpg
work with pine.

So.... Several questions I need answers to to make mutt behave the way I
want it to. I've been using COLUMNS=200  mutt to make mutt display the
full names and subject lines because if I don't it won't display them
completely, and I have to open  messages to see the entire subject. Is
there a way to make this perminant? I don't see an option in my config
file for it.

Also, when I use this option, when I move from message to message the
cursor doesn't seem to follow, what I mean is that i am on message 1, I
move to message 2, and it displays the last couple of words of message
1. The only way I can see the beginning of the line for message 2 is if
Imove down a line with the speakup cursor.  Is there a way to make the
cursor behave and track right?

Last thing. In order for me to switch folders I need to hit c then ? to
display the list of folders The problem is this I'd rather just hit c
then type the folder name. but when I do this, it says no such folder,
and I'm sure I'm typing the name of the folder right. any ideas?

Thanks

Re: more mutt stuff

[Kerry Hoath]

Ok to answer a mutt question or two.
Setting columns to 200 is likely to cause cursor strangeness;
the screen is not after all 200 colums wide.
You can aleviate this by passing a vga= optiont o the kernel to
make the screen 132 columns wide (really).
Mutt does not show the full subject line and full name because the index is 1
line per message. if the subject or name is too long it would wrap and mess up
the index and the numbers and markers would not line up.
Outlook express and eudora behave this way too so widen the screen
to 132 columns.
You might need to set vga=ask and get a sighted person to get you the mode 
number for 132x43 it changes depending on your video card
the vesa bios on the card and such things.

Reading the mutt manual will tell you to specify a folder that resides
in your ~/Mail directory you need to specify
=foldername
just specifying foldername assumes the folder is in the
current directory. So if you want to save to
~/Mail/junk then specify =junk to the save messages to prompt.
Options in the config file set this location note that mutt uses
~/Mail  and pine uses ~/mail
this can be changed.

Regards, Kerry.

Re: more mutt stuff

Hi again, Deedra:

To add aa bit to Kerry's helpful suggestions:

I believe the cursor issue is handled by the variable:

set arrow_cursor

The default is to highlight the current selection, which doesn't help
Speakup.

When you use 'c' to change to a mail folder, you would need to specify
the path from the current working directory. This is different from how
Pine behaves. My solution is to simply launch mutt from within the mail
directory. After all, I always have mutt open in one console, so why
not?

For myself, I have symlinked Mail (with a capital M) to mail (with
lower-case m). I want mutt to red aall my saved mail, of course. You
can, however, also specify your preferred folder in the muttrc file.

Notice there's both a global /etc/Muttrc (with a capital M, grrrrr) and
a user specific $HOME/.muttrc

hmm,if I'm following you right, then I tell it to go to a colder then I
have to specify ~/mail/speakup for example instead of just speakup like
I could with pine

Yes, I already figured out how to change the frolder from ~/Mail to
~/mail. That was one of the first things I figured out.

The only thing that bugs me about not seeing  more of the subject lines
is that a lot of messages look blank. For example the "logging in on
multiple consoles thread" It makes it a lot harder to just skim threw
messages that way. I liked the fact that pine showed me at least part of
the subject line so I could just ignore the stuff I didn't want to read.

Yes. That's it. By the way, if you're in your home directory, you can
skip ~/ and just do mail/speakup, for example.

Or, try my solution, and cd mail before starting mutt.

Re: more mutt stuff

[Janina Sajka]

Here's a brief excerpt from my current Mutt index screen. Sorry, the
editor is wrapping the lines though they're not wrapped on the index
screen itself:

   r    154 Telephony Voice User Interface Conference (  49) Jim Tobias 
fmt
        155 
*> ( 104) Jim Tobias fmt
        156 Mastering 88 Keys Con (Digital) Brio ( 193) Paula
Tucker fmt

Notice that this isn't the default index screen. I wanted status,
message number, then subject, in that order. So, I have the following in
my .muttrc:


set index_format = "%Z %4C %s %?M?(#%03M)&(%4l)? %F %{fmt}"

The blank subject part of #155 indicates that it's in the thread with
154. This is behavior you can change, though I don't recall how just
now.

Certainly, you can set mutt to not thread, which would probably do it
right there.

PS: My %[fmt] is clearly wrong. Guess I should fix it! <grin>

Whee! It's working. It's normal again....for me at least:) One last
question and I think I can figure out the rest of what I need.

I have several different email addresses that I use for different
things. From what it looks like in the config file, I can set up sort of
message rules so that for example any mail that goes to
staff@freenode.net or dmwaters@freenode.net I can reply with
dmwaters@freenode.net. What I don't see unless I'm missing it, is the
ability to send messages from dmwaters@freenode.net using a new message
Am I missing something there?

Re: more mutt stuff

[Janina Sajka]

Well, you're at the limit of my knowledge here. My defaults are
not as good as I'd like them about this. I've decided to just live with
things as they are for now, rather than trying to tweak further.

When I start a new message, or reply/forward, my From line terminates as
janina@> which is, of course, not quite right. I simply press end then
left arrow and type in the domain I want to use, which is different
depending on the circumstance, somewht along the lines of what you're
saaying.

By the way, there is one thing I miss from Pine that I still haven't
quite gotten the same performance with Mutt on yet. That's searching.
Pine let's you do more elaborate searches through mailboxes. Pine lets
you search on particular header fields, by date, by number, by messaage
contents. And, it let's you search on the results to further narrow the
selected message set. I don't see anything in Mutt that even approaches
this functionality.

| Whee! It's working. It's normal again....for me at least:) One last

| I have several different email addresses that I use for different

| of message rules so that for example any mail that goes to 
| staff@freenode.net or dmwaters@freenode.net I can reply with 
| dmwaters@freenode.net. What I don't see unless I'm missing it, is the 
| ability to send messages from dmwaters@freenode.net using a new 
| message Am I missing something there?

| |         155
| | *> ( 104) Jim Tobias fmt
| |         156 Mastering 88 Keys Con (Digital) Brio ( 193) Paula Tucker

| | fmt

following

| | 
| | 
| | set index_format = "%Z %4C %s %?M?(#%03M)&(%4l)? %F %{fmt}"
| | 
| | The blank subject part of #155 indicates that it's in the thread 
| | with
| | 154. This is behavior you can change, though I don't recall how just

| | now.
| | 
| | Certainly, you can set mutt to not thread, which would probably do

| | right there.
| | 
| | PS: My %[fmt] is clearly wrong. Guess I should fix it! <grin>

Re: more mutt stuff

[Kerry Hoath]

preceeding a folder with = is a shortcut for your mail folder.
instead of putting
~/Mail/speakup
you can just put =speakup
and you can also set save-hooks that will set the default folder based on
regular expressions that appear in the message subject or
headers.

Regards, Kerry.
