Re: 3 questions: Renaming folders with hook + browser reverse date
Hi,
mea culpa, mea culpa...
I had two set sorts in my muttrc... and the second one was overwriting
the good one...
Ok, that fixes the sort issue... now, macro indeces...
I got this email:
-----------------------------
Alain Bench <veronatif@xxxxxxx>
Hello,

Let's first write the macro cleanly:
- <function> names instead of keys
- <Key> symbols instead of obscure key notations
- drop harmfull spaces (by default the <Space> key is bound to the
<buffy-cycle> function at this prompt)
| macro index <F5> <change-folder>~/mail/inbox<Enter>
Does this work?
Bye! Alain.
-----------------------------------------
and I say: A huge, vast, enormous THANK YOU to Alain! That fixed it!
And now the very last question:
I ssh to a linux box to check the email. This is more convenient
because that pc is part of a cluster and is being backup'ed every
night...
When I ssh it from my OpenBSD laptop mutt is behaving well but for ONE
thing: backspace does not work, so that I cannot scroll up the
screen... I get a "this key has not been defined" message, but it has
because when I physically log in on that box, it is working and, when
I use mutt from the very openbsd laptop, backspace is also working
fine. It is only the combination openbsd laptop + ssh tunnel to a
linux box what breaks backspace...
any hint??
