Re: compose pipe-message

[james@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply. The macro method I described does not actually
have the problems you mention. Since the macro executes on the 'y' key
in compose mode, it is executed whenever an email is sent and without
any extra keystrokes to remember.

macro compose y "<enter-command>unset wait_key\n<pipe-entry>bogofilter 
-n\n<enter-command>set wait_key\n<send-message>"

However, a sendmail wrapper script is also a good solution and since there
exists no pipe-message in compose mode. I have written such a wrapper. The
script is quite a bit longer than the macro, but it does have the advantage
of being usable outside of mutt. The script is attached.

# sendmail.bogotrain is a sendmail wrapper which trains bogofilter on
# outgoing email which is classified as 100% non-spam.
#
# To use with mutt, add the following to your ~/.muttrc:
# set sendmail='/path/to/sendmail.bogotrain -oem -oi'
#
# For efficiency, this script uses a named fifo to copy stdin to sendmail
# using tee. This is safe with GNU tee since it ignores SIGPIPE.
