!!! [HTML] [Email] |
| |
|
2 |
|
| |
|
3 |
If you actually want to read any [HTML] [Email] you get, you can get [Mutt] to delegate arbitrary [MIME] types to other programs (it will default to your pager for <tt>text/*</tt> types). Add the following line to your <tt>.mailcap</tt> file: |
| |
|
4 |
|
| |
|
5 |
<verbatim> |
| |
|
6 |
text/html ; lynx -force_html %s |
| |
|
7 |
</verbatim> |
| |
|
8 |
|
| |
|
9 |
A more "integrating" alternative is to add <tt>set implicit_autoview</tt> to your [.muttrc] and make the <tt>.mailcap</tt> line something like |
| |
|
10 |
|
| |
|
11 |
<verbatim> |
| |
|
12 |
text/html ; lynx -force_html -dump %s ; copiousoutput |
| |
|
13 |
</verbatim> |
| |
|
14 |
|
| |
|
15 |
This will cause [Mutt] to transparently invoke [Lynx] and display its output in the integrated pager for any [HTML] message. (<tt>set implicit_autoview</tt> enables this for all [MIME] types with a <tt>copiousoutput</tt> keyword.) |
| |
|

|
| |

Incidentally, [vilistextum | http://bhaak.dyndns.org/vilistextum/] is an excellent tool for such on-the-fly conversion of [HTML], as it launches and runs nearly instantly even on old and aging machines, where [Lynx] takes its sweet time. |

!!! Automating messages with [Mutt] |
| |
|
20 |
|
| |
|
21 |
If you want to send a message with Mutt with an attachment, like you would with mail(1), use: |
| |
|
22 |
|
| |
|
23 |
<verbatim> |
| |
|
24 |
mutt -a $FILENAME -s $SUBJECT $TO < /dev/null |
| |
|
25 |
</verbatim> |
| |
|
26 |
|
| |
|
27 |
cat(1)~ing a file into mutt doesn't seem to work the same way. |
| |
|
28 |
|
| |
|
29 |
[Mutt] (and most other command-line mail programs) take stdin(3) to be the body of the message. That won't work if you expect it to add all the nice [MIME] headers and stuff for attachments. |
| |
|

| |
|
31 |
!!! Forcing headers |
| |
|
32 |
|
| |
|
33 |
To have a more descriptive <tt>From:</tt> than just <tt>root</tt> when you happen to be mailing from that account (not something you should do habitually), add these settings to your [.muttrc]: |
| |
|
34 |
|
| |
|
35 |
<verbatim> |
| |
|
36 |
my_hdr From: test@example.com |
| |
|
37 |
set realname="Real Name" |
| |
|
38 |
</verbatim> |
| |
|
39 |
|
| |
|

!!! Hooking up with Courier IMAP mailboxes |
| |
|
41 |
|
| |
|
42 |
If you use MailDir format mailboxes (for example, Courier IMAP) and you want to read them locally with [Mutt]: |
| |
|
43 |
|
| |
|
44 |
<verbatim> |
| |
|
45 |
export MAIL=~/Maildir/ |
| |
|
46 |
</verbatim> |
| |
|
47 |
|
| |
|
48 |
and insert the following line into [.muttrc]: |
| |
|
49 |
|
| |
|
50 |
<verbatim> |
| |
|
51 |
set folder=~/Maildir/ |
| |
|
52 |
</verbatim> |
| |
|
53 |
