[mew-int 3149] customizing behavior of reply

Joao Pedro Pedroso — 2013-06-06T12:45:18

Hello,

I have several e-mail addresses and I am using mew for doing all my
mail, which I store in a central place.

I would like to set up mew so that when I reply to a message, the
'From:' field in the draft is automatically set to the recipient
address of the original message.

For example: when replying to a message sent to 'jpp< at >a.mail', the
'From:' field would be set to 'jpp< at >a.mail'; but when replying to a
message sent to 'myself< at >other.mail', the 'From:' field would be set to
'myself< at >other.mail'.

I know that I can do it manually with 'cases', but I keep forgetting
changing, and often send messages with wrong addresses.

Thanks,

J.Pedro

[mew-int 3145] IMAP LIST

Thomas Danckaert — 2013-05-06T13:33:26

Hello,

when retrieving IMAP folders using "C-u Z", for one of my e-mail
accounts, mew returns a list of _all_ contents of my entire home
directory (e.g. ~/Pictures/cat.jpg, ...).  All these directories will
then appear when using tab-completion on an e-mail folder.  I would
prefer to get only the subfolders of ~/Mail", as that is where I
actually store my e-mail.

The IMAP command sent by mew is (for example)

wwik8226 LIST "" *

and to get the desired result, this should be

wwik8226 LIST "Mail/" *

Is it possible using Mew configuration?  For the NAMESPACE command, 
my server returns
"* NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL NIL"

I've looked at the corresponding function in mew-imap.el:

(defun mew-imap-command-list (pro pnm)
   (mew-net-status (mew-imap-get-status-buf pnm)
  "Listing"
  nil
  (mew-imap-secure-p pnm))
   (let* ((my-prefix (mew-imap-get-my-prefix pnm))
 (case (mew-imap-get-case pnm))
 (prefix-list (mew-imap-prefix-list case)))
     (mew-imap-message pnm "Collecting mailbox list...")
     (mew-i

[mew-int 3141] mew-attach-duplicate bindscompletion-ignored-extensions to nil

Michael Ernst — 2013-04-15T15:04:35

Why does mew-attach-duplicate bind completion-ignored-extensions to nil?
This overrides a user's preferences as to which files to present when doing
completion.

(It also triggers a bug in Ubuntu's version of the w3m-el package.  w3m-el
includes an old version of regexp-opt.el that suffers an infinite recursion
when executing (regexp-opt nil).  I can work around that by running "sudo
apt-get remove w3m-el".)

[mew-int 3139] maildir configuration

Thomas Danckaert — 2013-03-23T14:37:53

Hello,

I'm having some trouble getting mew to work with a maildir.  I use getmail4 to download messages to a maildir at ~/gmail-archive

I have the following configuration in my mew.el

(setq mew-config-alist
      '(
      ;; various other mailboxes
        ("archive"
         ("proto" . "+")
         ("mailbox-type" . "mbox")
         ("mbox-command" . "incm")
         ("mbox-command-arg" . "-a -d /path/to/gmail-archive")
         )))

However, visiting +inbox; pressing s, and choosing "update" doesn't cause incm to fetch the messages from my maildir to +inbox.  When I run "incm" manually from a terminal like this:

~/Mail/inbox$ incm -u -d ~/gmail-archive/

the messages do end up in my inbox.  Does anybody have an idea where the problem might be?

[mew-int 3137] handling multiple smtp settings in one config file

Charles Muller — 2013-02-20T03:54:01

I'm trying to set up a way for the
mailer to use different SMTP settings from within the same configuration 
file (which I am syncing among my various machines) depending on which 
machine
it's running on. I found an Emacs function called file-exists which
is supposed to test for the presence of a file, and so I tried to use 
this by I am
putting a differently-named empty file in my root directory on the 
different machines
that is intended to trigger the change. What I've written is like this:

(if (file-exists-p "/mail-u-tokyo")
(setq mew-smtp-port "25")
(setq mew-smtp-server "mail.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp")
)

(if (file-exists-p "/mail-home")
(setq mew-smtp-port "587")
(setq mew-smtp-server "mail.so-net.ne.jp")
)


But it's not working (probably I don't understand the function of 
file-exists-p). Does anyone have advice as to what I am doing wrong? Or 
perhaps there's a better way of doing this?

Regards,

Charles

[mew-int 3136] IMAP folder creation an Groupwise server

Bernhard Assmann — 2013-02-19T13:06:27

Hi,

I've got a problem creating a new IMAP folder on the server side. The server
is a Groupwise server. This is the output of the Mew debug buffer:

<=SEND=>
sxqq2483 UID COPY 388948 "New/Folder"

<COPY>
sxqq2483 NO UID COPY [TRYCREATE] Mailbox not found: New/Folder

<=SEND=>
hwnq2462 LOGOUT


And this is the output when I use a Cyrus IMAP server:

<=SEND=>
lxvo9220 UID COPY 24429 "New/Folder"

<COPY>
lxvo9220 NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox does not exist


<=SEND=>
fpcf3579 CREATE "New/Folder"

<CREATE>
fpcf3579 OK Completed


<=SEND=>
klem2665 UID COPY 24429 "New/Folder"

<COPY>
klem2665 OK [COPYUID 1361277916 24429 1] Completed


The difference lies in the answer of the COPY command:

NO UID COPY [TRYCREATE] ...

vs.

NO [TRYCREATE] ...

Is it possible to handle the "UID COPY" answer as a valid pattern so that the
generation of the folder can go on?

Best regards

Bernhard

[mew-int 3134] preserving the original charset of a attach file

Kazu Yamamoto — 2013-02-12T04:42:40

Hello,

I have implemented a feature to preserve the original charset of a
attach file. Pulling from github and setting

(setq mew-draft-keep-text-charset t)

enables this feature. 

For instance, UTF-8 files are always attached as UTF-8 files if 
this feature is enabled. Only line delimiters are converted.

[mew-int 3132] Search based on recoll

Michael Steiner — 2013-01-26T16:24:34

Hi,

I'm a happy user of Mew for quite a while --- thanks to everybody
contributing to it! -- and used in the past Hyper Estraier for
searching mails which worked fairly well.

However, as i recently started indexing my system with recoll, with a
sub-index specially for mail, i wonder whether anybody has integrated
recoll into mew? Doing so would save me considerable disk-space (i
have email back 20 years :-) and/or save me from hacking mew-search.el
:-)

thanks

[mew-int 3122] performance issues

maxigas — 2013-01-20T08:50:33

hi,

Latest Mew and latest Emacs24 on sid is working fine but since i
switched from Emacs23 i see a clear decrease in performance.

When switching to the +backups folder for example the messages appear
like 0.3 second delay between them, or when i hit 'n' (for next
message) in summary mode in my +inbox, i have to wait for the cursor
to move up.

i don't see any other performance problems in Emacs24 (and i use it
for lot of things), so i guess it could me a Mew specific problem.

did anybody has experience with a similar version combo?  is it
working for you?  any ideas how to debug?  i watched after
mew-summary-debug but it does not log any problems.  could having less
messages in my +inbox help?

thanks,

Mew version 6.5rc2

[mew-int 3119] Encoding of — (EM DASH) and – (EN DASH)

Christophe TROESTLER — 2012-11-27T17:55:54

Hi,

With the default configuration, when Mew encounters a subject or
message body containing — (EM DASH) and – (EN DASH), the charset
iso-2022-jp or iso-2022-jp-3 is selected.  I would prefer utf-8 to be
chosen.  I have obtained the behavior I like by modifying
mew-cs-database-for-encoding.  Is there a cleaner solution knowing
that I have

    (set-language-environment "utf-8")
    (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

Best,

[mew-int 3116] Why is completion-ignore-case buffer-local in draftbuffers?

Harald Hanche-Olsen — 2012-10-10T19:28:50

Having completion-ignore-case buffer-local in the draft buffer
interferes with completion in the minibuffer.
But I guess it's needed for code like in mew-complete-address?

Please have a look at http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12615

It's not clear to me if this problem needs to be fixed in emacs or in
mew, but it has been bothering me for quite some time.

[mew-int 3115] Feedback during imap operations

Harald Hanche-Olsen — 2012-09-09T09:33:31

It has seemed to me that sometimes, when I do an update from my IMAP
server, that the status is stuck in "Auth'ing" for a ridiculous amount
of time.

When I finally got around to investigating, I found that it is not
usually the authenticating that takes so long after all. Instead, I
see this when there are a large number of marks to be changed.

Typical scenario: I mark a few hundred messages that I haven't
downloaded before, then hit m-I to download all of them. Then I unmark
the whole bunch and update again to turn off the marks on the server
side. And when I do, the "Auth'ing" phase seems to take forever.

If possible, I'd like the status message to change as soon as
authentication is complete, in all cases.

[mew-int 3113] available folders in IMAP

Thomas Danckaert — 2012-08-14T13:13:04

Hi,

how can I limit the number of remote folders shown when using IMAP 
from mew?

When connecting to my IMAP account at work, the complete content of 
my home directory appears in mew-imap-folder-alist, but in reality 
only the remote directory "Mail" contains e-mail.  Is there a way to 
limit the visible folders to "%inbox" and "%Mail"?

Perhaps related: can someone explain the use of the variable 
"mew-imap-prefix-list" to me?  I'm having some trouble understanding 
the documentation.

kind regards,

Thomas Danckaert

[mew-int 3106] 2 how-to questions

Benjamin Slade — 2012-07-30T16:23:52

Using Mew helps me get through email reading/replying tasks much more quickly and efficiently than any other mail system (for which I'm greatly appreciative to Kazu Yamamoto and the other developers of Mew). I've noticed there are two points at which my speed is sometimes slowed:

(1) When I change users (using S-C), I would like to change my location automatically to the inbox associated with that user. I'm assuming this can be done using a hook, but I'm not sure how. Suggestions?

(2) Is there a way, when replying to an email, to automatically change the "From:" field to the same address as the "To:" field of the message I'm replying to? I have some email account with multiple aliases, and I would like to use the same email address/alias that the person wrote to me using (automatically).

I wonder if anyone has suggestions about implementing these 2 things.

cheers,
