I use links a lot. I like it. And I have Mutt Working now finally. I'm sending this Mail from it. Nice not having to have X loaded.
Congrats.
Now, a small request:
Please have the editor wrap lines at about 72->80 chars.
I have, in .muttrc:
I didn't know it was making these so hard too read. they look normal on my screen, but it's showing as a huge line on yours?
Yep.
set editor="vi -c 'set tw=76'"
so this is for .muttrc in my /home directory? Or the one in /etc?
O.K. That was implied in the name :P .muttrc lives in your /home/directory - while the one in /etc/ is called Muttrc ... maybe should've said: "I have, in ~/.muttrc" ...
set editor="vi -c 'set tw=76'"
Exactly like that?
Yes. I quoted it verbatim, since I wasn't sure you were even *using* vi as editor. If you are (and you are if you haven't changed it) putting the above in your ~/.muttrc will instruct vi to wrap at 76 chars.
Have to forgve me, I just started messing with Muttrc yesterday, and it took me a half hour to figure out the syntax for color. Heh I got it though. Just not sure if I need the quotes or not. Heh a minute ago I learned how to do an alias so I can stop typing the email address for the list on every reply. I type r, then I hit the down arrow key and it shows the email address for the list. Which is because when I reply it replies to the person who sent TOO the list, instead of the list. L doesn't work yet, I'm still learning this. I did have to type it out for this one too, the down key stopped working after I closed mutt for some reason. Ahh well.
You're forgiven, but have a look at the above (*one*) line... As for replying to the list, you have to tell Mutt that it's a list or it won't know. I have in ~/.muttrc: subscribe suse-linux-e (+ some other lists) Should make replying to the list work as expected. Now, man mutt, man vi and RTFM <grin> Cheers, /jon -- Just say "know!"
