I've just released the next mutt beta, version 1.3.24i.

Some of the more interesting changes against mutt-1.3.23i:

 - New and improved threading code from Daniel Eisenbud.  See also=20
   $duplicate_threads, $hide_missing, $thread_received.
=20
 - ANSI colors in the builtin pager are now controlled by a variable=20
   $allow_ansi, and are turned OFF by default.  The colorization of=20
   attachment markers (and PGP output messages) in the pager is done=20
   a bit different, and more difficult to cheat.  In particular, it's=20
   not possible to consistently trick two instances of mutt which=20
   were started at different points of time.
  =20
 - There's a $wrapmargin variable which gives users some control over=20
   mutt's wrapping in the pager, and in the text/plain; format=3Dflowed=20
   handler.  The default value of this variable is 0.

 - Of course, bug fixes.

There's an outstanding mail loss problem with this version: On=20
system where write(2) lies about the success of an operation (for=20
instance, with NFS folders or when quotas are enabled), mutt may not=20
detect such errors when writing to mbox folders, possibly even=20
losing mail.  The bug is mutt's, and will be fixed next week (I=20
hope).  Since it's present in all mutt versions, there's no point in=20
holding up this release due to the problem.

See <http://bugs.guug.de/Bugs/db/89/895.html> for details.


Mutt 1.3.24i can be found at <ftp://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/>.

Have a nice week-end.

Here's the deal: the asterisk means that the message was attached by
subject.  The question mark denotes a missing reference.  So if a
message has an in-reply-to: header referring to a message not in the
mailbox, its arrow will end with ?->.  Mutt then, as before, tries to
attach the message by subject, which if it does, will result in an arrow
like `*?->.  Having both tells you that there's a missing parent of the
current message, and that there were no more references so the message
was attached by subject.  If there's no in-reply-to header, the parent
might well be in the mailbox, but mutt has no way of knowing, and the
arrow just looks like `*>, as it did before.  This is not a bug.

Procmail is indeed a close relative to Sendmail, it's rc file syntax
is bloody. I propose Mail::Audit if you know Perl, Maildrop otherwise.

Yes, that's the mbox format. Mutt should have no problems at all with
retrieving single messages, just copy or move them in a new Mailbox.

There are also lots of tools available for the mbox format, you can
extract mails with grepmail or formail.

I have a nice lists.rc which will filter most mailing list messages
automagically if anyone wants it.

I had a quick look at maildrop
(http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/) earlier; the config format
seemed rather more, um, sane than procmail, although I couldn't find any
online docs/examples beyond the simple Tips & Tricks page.

Not that I looked hard, I'm pretty happy with procmail atm :)

I had a look at Gnus too, mainly because people seem to think it handles
things like [crap] in subjects an dupes really well; something I'm
interested in being handled well somewhere between fetchmail and mutt.

Actually, a better solution would be to do this filtering before final
delivery; have fetchmail deliver to a small agent which queues messages
for a minute and then weeds out dupes based on a few simple rules
(prefer one with ML-alike headers, for instance), before inserting it's
queue into the MDA.

Hmm..

Looks quite good to me :)

This ml uses: Sender: owner-mutt-users@mutt.org, so you just match
Sender: owner-([^@]+).  Repeat for 7 or 8 different headers and you have
them covered. sed is just used to avoid exploits embedding /'s in there
to get into different directories.

It seems mutt outputs nothing to stderr but everything to stdout :-/

What makes the output a bit less messier is to call:
env TERM=dumb mutt ...

But I think I should try to use another tool, to achieve what I
want, does anybody know a perl module to extract some data from
Mails and to move mails from Maildirs to mboxes? (Any other tool
to achieve this would be welcome, too)

Let's just get rid of all of this other cron stuff :-)

That's not a bad idea.  I wonder if one can set a TERM to nothing or some
such so that there's *no* definition...

I know of mbox2maildir, and there might be something similar; check the
qmail.org or cr.yp.to pages for such utilities.

What sort of data do you need to extract and how do you limit what
messages you want?  If it's just based on date, that's pretty easy...  It
shouldn't be too tough to do it by thread, either, with a perl script or
such.

I was a bit incorrect in this paragraph, I want to move all old messages
from one _mbox_ to another (compressed) one. Threads are not
neccesary, because it's third level storage (I'm not going to look
there often).

Do you know any tools working on mboxes directly? Locking would be no
problem, because there is no delivery to this folders, and I won't try
to read these mails during the moving.

Thanks

Hmmm...  I meant a termcap definition for something even dumber than
dumb, in theory.  No matter; using mutt to move is like using a
sledgehammer.

Hokey dokey.  So you don't have the advantage of using Maildirs and
simply checking the file's timestamp.  Not threading is convenient,
though.


%=20
% Do you know any tools working on mboxes directly? Locking would be no

Hmmm...  Not for moving stuff out; grepmail will do a good job of finding
the messages but that doesn't help you empty the big box.

Can you guarantee that the items in this mailbox are in a sensible
received order, or would it be acceptable for a shouldn't-yet-be-moved
message to perhaps be moved anyway?  It should be easy enough to read
into the file to find the first date later than your move-to-archive
window, back up to the empty line before that message's ^From_ line,
and break file in two at that point -- writing the first part to your
compressed folder and leaving [only] the second part.


% problem, because there is no delivery to this folders, and I won't try
% to read these mails during the moving.

You could even call mutt_dotlock in your cron job to lock and unlock the
box as you're working on it :-)
