General tip for requesting help on the lists: formulate your macros
to use keybinding names, not keystrokes.  That means putting each and
every interaction EXCEPT for prompt input into angle brackets using the
binding's name.  If you can do that before posting, more people will
understand what you're trying to do up front.

No criticism meant -- just a utilitarian perspective. ;)

Hmm, trac seems to have gone haywire and rewritten trac.ini a couple
of times. I don't know what's happening there (possibly a bad admin
plugin), but I've restricted permissions on the config file.

Undependable macro

jeremy bentham — 2013-06-16T18:56:09

I have a macro which works...sometimes.

macro generic,pager ,t ":set folder=imaps://mail.eskimo.com<enter>c
=toms<enter>*v/AM<enter><enter>"

(All one long line in my muttrc; I broke it up for readability
here.)

If it fails, when I launch it mutt beeps immediately after I hit
"t" and doesn't complete it.  Usually it gets as far as the toms
mailbox and opens that.

When it works, it finds a particular pdf file (nice of the sender
always to include the string AM only in that file...) and opens it.

I suspect there's some sort of timing issue; I've gotten as far
as not finding any obvious way to _wait_ in TFM.  If that's the
problem....

For at least a couple of days, going to http://dev.mutt.org in a browser results in this:

Re: Unable to view images

John Niendorf — 2013-06-14T12:38:41

I figured it out - graphicsmagick was corrupted.
For some reason uninstalling and removing the configuration files for graphicsmagick then reinstalling gm didn't solve the problem.
So I changed the mailcap file to use ImageMagick and now I can see images again.

Gmail style message index possible?

Jean Mayer — 2013-06-14T12:27:50

Hi mutt-users,

Is there a way to have a Gmail style message index, i.e. seeing the first few words of an email next to its subject? I get a lot of emails with subject lines like "Hello" or "no subject" so displaying some more content would be really helpful. It seems there's no appropriate format string for index_format. By the way, is it possible to put a line break into index_format?

Sincerely,
Jean

Unable to view images

John Niendorf — 2013-06-14T10:32:45

Hi Guys,

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and had to reinstall my system.
I backed up my home directory prior to the reinstall and then copied everything back into home when I had finished.
Mutt is almost working the way it was prior to reinstallation.

Now when I try to view an attached image by pressing v and the number of the image I get the following error:

gm display: Unable to load font (-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1) [Resource temporarily unavailable].

Does anyone know what this means or how I can fix it?

Thank you

And probably has the added advantage of being able to search entirely
in mutt's in-memory knowledge of the message headers; I thuink mutt
has to open and read messages if you ask to search all the headers.

On this topic, I've recently been very pleased to search messages
by address group. By transcribing my address db groups into mutt
alias commands of the form (example):

  alias -group abcshop abcshop ABC Shop News <shopnews< at >your.abc

Re: inline html viewing coding system

Orm Finnendahl — 2013-06-03T16:39:50

Hi Patrice,

 thanks a lot, I adapted your script for w3m and that works in my
western-euro-centric use-cases (assuming iso-8859-1 if it isn't
utf-8). It would be much cleaner (and international) to determine the
code-page from the attachment header, but I have no idea whether this
even can be done without changing the sources of mutt.

Anyway, your script at least solves the problem for me.

Not that I know of; I use a simple wrapper script for that (I use lynx,
adjust options accordingly), using isutf8 (part of moreutils):

isutf8 ${1} >& /dev/null \
&& lynx -assume_charset=utf-8 -display_charset=utf-8 -dump -force_html ${1} \
|| lynx -display_charset=utf-8 -dump -force_html ${1}

Orm Finnendahl — 2013-06-03T15:55:23

Hi,

 is there a way to configure mutt to consider the charset for
displaying inline html?

I use "/usr/bin/w3m -dump -T text/html " and by default this correctly
displays utf-8 encoded html. Unfortunately, a lot of mailers still use
iso-8859-1 and special characters aren't displayed correctly.

The charset gets transmitted in the mail, but I don't know how to
propagate that on the fly to w3m.

Any ideas?

To do that, I just use:

OK, that looks in all the headers, but you probably want to check Cc: as

Searching To:-Headers in Sent Mail

Patrick Ben Koetter — 2013-06-03T12:30:58

I'd like to search messages by recipient in my Sent-Folder, but at least my
mutt install won't do it out of the box.

Is the scope mutt searches for limited by context (e.g. Sent-Folder) or do I
have to use a special search keyword?

Re: mutt with self hosted server mail server

It doesn't matter, you can configure some other port for smtp on the server 
and then point mailx, mutt, etc. to it.
