mutt questions

mutt questions

[Janina Sajka]

I've been working in mutt recently. I have a few questions for which I have been unable to find answers in the documentation:

1.)	Unsorting--or whatever it may be called--When I restrict my view using a semi-colon search, how do I undo it in order to return to the full
index listing? Ctrl-t doesn't do it. What does?

2.)	If I start to compose a message, or start to forward one, how can I change my mind and abort the procedure? I find I'm unable to exit composing
a message. I am hacking around this problem by using capital P for postpone, but this surely isn't the proper way.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Janina.

This may not be the best way, but it works for me.

When you decide that you don't want to send a message, exit the editor. It will ask you if you want to send, hit q. It will ask you if you want to postpone it, hit n, and it will throw it away. The only advantage to this method seems to be that you won't end up with a postponed file in your home dir. Hth.

Re: mutt questions

[Steve Holmes]

I don't know the answer to #1 below, but for #2 let me tell you what I
do.

I have emacs configured as my editor of choice so if I manage to get
as far as typing a part of the message, I go ahead and exit out of
emacs with the c-x c-c keys and it doesn't really matter if I answer
yes or no to save the edited file.  I then am sitting at the mail menu
screen where I would usually type 'y' to send the message; here to
cancel, I just type 'q' instead.  I think if I remember right, I am
asked if I want to postpone the thing and I usually say no to that
one.  Now another point of cancelation, if I go into the editor and
don't type anything at all and want to cancel out, merely dumping out
of the editor results in no new file to send and I am immediately
dumpped out of the mail composition screen.

Hope I got this all right.  I'm too lazy at this moment to cancel out
of this one to be sure:).

[Doug Lawlor]

To get out of a message you don't want to send just exit the editor and
press 'q' to quit.  If you are asked if you want to postpone the message
(you can change this I believe in your .mutrc file) just say 'n' and you
will be aborted.

[Doug Lawlor]

To change weather or not Mutt askes you if you want to postpone a
message just set postpone=no in your .muttrc file.  When you do this and
press 'q' to cancel a message you will see a message something like
'Mail not sent' and you will be returned to the message you were
viewing.  Pressing capitle P will still postpone your message if you
want to do so.

Re: mutt questions

[Janina Sajka]

Yes, Greg, this works if I know I'm going to abort before saving the message body in a tmp file. But, what about after that?

In fact, this just happened to me. I was replying to your message, saved the tmp file , and pressed y to send. Mutt replied "no recipients specified."
Well, excuse me, but I had used the reply command, so I don't understand why it would have lost that data.

There are other ways and times in which I want to abort after writing the tmp file, but postponing seems to be the only option.

I'll try that q for quit.

Not elegant, but if it works ...

Re: mutt questions

[Kenny Hitt]

Oopse, should have tested before I sent my last message.  In most cases,
using control-g will cancel the current command.  In the example you
give, you will have to use q to quit.  

Sorry about that.

Re: mutt questions

[Steve Holmes]

Even after saving the temporary file from emacs, I can still type 'q'
instead of 'y' to cancel the message.  Your error about missing
address sounds strange to me.  Can't say I'ver had that one happen to me.

Have lots and lots of messages that I'd still like to be able to read.

Re: mutt questions

[Steve Holmes]

Hey I converted from pine to mutt some while back and mutt reads them
fine.  What I actually did was set up mutt to access the old pine
folders via imap since I use different machines to access my mail.  I
generally work on two machines separate from the mail server and they
used to use pine - now using mutt.  Just read the HTML manual that
comes with mutt over and over if necessary to understand the variables
that control the options you would be interested in and go for it.
The IMAP folders are accessed by putting a plus sign (+) in front of
the name of the folder.

Feel free to ask more questions if you need to.  Note that .muttrc
file will be your friend:).

Re: mutt questions

[Steve Holmes]

Configuring mutt is harder than pine but once your're done doing that,
I can list some advantages:

No more of those character set warnings when you aren't using the same
character set as the original sender.

I find it easier to skip around attachments.

One thing I really like is being able to skip around previously quoted
stuff in messages; If I get a message that has all the old stuff first
and their reply at the end, I just hit 'S' - that's capital S, mutt
puts the cursor on the first line of unquoted text.  If there is more
quoted text, you can hit the 'S' key again and it skips to the next
block of unquoted text, and so on.  I especially like this feature.

In some respects, it may be more powerful and configurable than pine
even though one has to edit a config file instead of menus like pine.

I like the idea that gpg works really nice with mutt out of the box so
that's why I'd like to move just as long as I cna keep my current mail
archive and be able to have the addressbook and everything.

Re: mutt questions

[Steve Holmes]

to get pine's address book into mutt, a simple conversion will be
necessary.  They are both text files but pine's has more fields in
it.  A simple perl script should do the job nicely.

Re: mutt questions

Can pine be configured to use gpg? I know it can use pgp bc I saw a
package for the plugin. I guess I'll have to take a look at the config
settings and see if I can find something.

Re: mutt questions

If Pine writes messages in mbox format you should have no problems.  In
mutt just type 'c' to change to a new mailbox and give the path to the
mailbox file you are interested in.

Ok. The revocation stuff is only in the event that you lose your
private key, and you need to revoke your old public key. So, you would
then use the revoke.asc file to do that, without needing to know the password
for your private key. Most likely, you didn't do any damage, if you
were following the instructions exactly. If however, you view the info
for your public key, and it actually tells you that this particular
key is revoked, then you're screwed, create a new key in that case,

P.S. Actually, if you didn't publish your public key to a key server
after it told you the key is revoked, then you're not really
screwed. If I'm correct, you should just be able to wipe your old key
from your keyring, and create it again.

In order to know how to use gpg, and how to create your own key, I'd
recommend reading the gpg handbook (the gph), which you can find at

. As for specifically using gnupg with mutt, I found this howto to be

Mutt Questions

[ace]

Hello all,

I was reading the Mutt user manual this morning and am noticing that 
some of the variables it discusses for the config file do not work.  
These include editheaders and fastreply.  Could this be because I am 
using the latest CVS checkout and the manual has not yet been updated to 
reflect some updates?  Also, I am using Nano as my email editor, if that 
makes a difference.  I get config parsing errors when starting Mutt with 
those options, so I doubt my choice of editor is relevant.

How does one go about getting a GPG key to encrypt email messages?
Does Mutt have an address book so that I do not have to type full 
addresses each time I compose a message?

I tried reading the manual but, as stated above, not all of its 
information seems to be accurate.

Thanks all,
Robby

 Thanks in advance,

 It doesn't have rolls pers?, but it does have various kinds of hooks
 which can do what you want. Here is an example of what you mentioned
 above.

 send-hook . my_hdr From: user@domain # set the address for most messages
sen-_hook speakup my_hdr From: user+speakup@domain # the address from
#which you are subscribed.

It is a lot more complicated than this, but you can figure it out fairly
easily. This question is asked almost weekly on the mutt-users@mutt.org
mailing list so you can look in its archives for all the responses. Be
warned that that list is quite likely to tell you to RTFM, so you may
want to do so. Good luck and happy mutting.

mutt questions

[Sergey Fleytin]

Hi all! I have i question about mutt. I just made it running but i am
wondering if it has a feature like "roles" in pine. My problem is that
i have several mail accounts and am subscribed to some mailings list
from those accounts. So when i write to a particular list, my 'from'
header should contain the very address i was subscribing to the list
from. As i mentioned above, pine has ability to handle this situation
but by some reason i am interested in using mutt. So, if anyone can
give me some advice concerning solving that problem in mutt, it will
be highly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,

Sergey.

Try the domain var in the .muttrc file.  a good example .muttrc is at

Hi.  It's documented in the manual and the Muttrc file.  

You aren't really clear on what you are trying to do.  You might not
need to change anything in mutt, but change an option in your mta.

Re: mutt questions

[Shaun Oliver]

ok,
to change the header you would use something like my_hdr From: xxx
xxx@y.z
here's a complete copy of my .muttrc file for your benifit
set help=no
ignore *
unignore To Date From: Subject Reply-To X-Operating-System X-Useless-Header
my_hdr From: Shaun Oliver <shaun_oliver@optusnet.com.au>
my_hdr X-Useless-Header: Look ma, it's a \# sign!
my_hdr X-Operating-System: `uname -a`
hdr_order Date From: subject to cc Reply-To X-Useless-Header X-Operating-System

Re: mutt questions

Does Mutt have a way to change the "from" header?  I am collecting mail
from a remote mailserver, and I need to change the "from" header to
reflect the address of the box where the message came from when replying.

Re: mutt questions

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  You use ignore statments in your .muttrc file.  If you put a line
like

ignore *
mutt will weed out all headers.  You can also tell mutt to ignore
specific headers by listing them.  This info is documented in the manual
as well as the .muttrc file.  The .muttrc file is in the user's home
directory.  On my Debian system, the system wide config file is
/etc/Muttrc

Note: Since Unix is case sensitive check this message carefully for
correct file names.

mutt questions

[Alex Snow]

Hi All,
I'm thinking of switching to mutt for a mail client.  I have one question:
how can I turn off some of the headers displayed in the pager while
viewing messages? I would like to disable showing of headers I dont care
about like return-path, message-id, x-flags, etc etc.  Is there any way to
do this?
Thanks!
