Mutt doesn't let me run automatically
I have been trying to automate a process where I receive emails with an
RTF attachment and I want to extract the RTF attachment from the email.
I looked at the Mutt email client and it appears to support an automated
way to do the saving of the attachment, except that when I run the
.muttrc, the Mutt application stops and prompts me to enter the
attachment file name.
I am using the standard Mac OS X Mail application to retrieve the emails
from the mail server, so I invoke mutt as follows:
mutt -f ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Minutes.mbox/mbox
The .muttrc looks like this:
# ~/.muttrc
#set hostname=mail.firstchurchtosa.org
#set hostname=""
#set folder="~/Mail"
#set pop_auth_try_all="yes"
set spoolfile="~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Minutes.mbox/mbox"
#default_hook "~A"
save-hook "~t maint" minutes.rtf
#push view-attachments
#push v
#exec view-attachments
#push save-entry
#push s
#exec save-message
push vs
#push xyz
set record="xyz"
set folder="~/inqueue"
The commented out stuff are my earlier attempts...
I have tried every combination of options to tell it ahead of time what
I want but to no avail. Am I expecting Mutt to do something it was
never intended to do or have I missed configuring something....
Thanks in advance.
