hi everybody!
i'm now using the proposed solution within X11, but not everything works as it
should (or rather as i would expect), so after trying some hacks that didn't
work, i decided to post here again. :-)
for the console, i can live with postboning messages at the moment - as i
always
did it that way before this thread -, because i hardly use screen. thus, in my
muttrc i have the following settings now:
# Keyboard definitions
source ~/.mutt/keybind-`if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ] ; then echo linux ; \
else echo default ; fi`
this is because i want to use diffent settings under X11 (which is set as
default) ...
# Background mail composition
# the following is for use with xterm(1)
macro index m "<pipe-message>$HOME/.mutt/bin/compose mail<enter>"
macro index r "<pipe-message>$HOME/.mutt/bin/reply reply<enter>"
macro index L "<pipe-message>$HOME/.mutt/bin/reply list-reply<enter>"
macro index g "<pipe-message>$HOME/.mutt/bin/reply group-reply<enter>"
macro index f "<pipe-message>$HOME/.mutt/bin/forward
forward-message<enter>"
compose works fine. the settings are (as proposed by andrew sayers):
TITLE=compose
xterm -fn 9x15 -bg black -fg white -T $TITLE -e mutt '' &
the others where kept like found in the script compose.sh
> xterm -e sh -c "mutt -f \"$BOX\" -e \"exec $1\"; rm -f \"$BOX\"" &
(this is from andrews last posting on this topic.)
~/.mutt/bin/reply and ~/.mutt/bin/forward look the same except for $TITLE.
BOX=$TMPDIR/mutt-${HOSTNAME}-$$ first did not work - until i did manually set
TMPDIR=/tmp - but i am still having the problem, that a new message is created
instead of replying to the original message. can you tell me, why?
what i have noticed, is that when replying the "common way", the temporary
file looks like /tmp/mutt-pablo-2980-126 - what are the last numbers?
finally, when the message i want to reply to is open, mutt doesn't open another
xterm-window, but replies the normal way (i.e. within the present
mutt-session).
(how) can we change this?
thanks and best regards,
/pablo
