Here's a quick Python script to add mutt_bgrun to all (X windows) entries from /etc/mailcap and write them to your ~/.mailcap file.


import os

mymailcap = open(os.path.expanduser('~/.mailcap'), 'wb')
for line in open('/etc/mailcap'):
    parts = line.split(';')
    if 'DISPLAY' in line:
        parts[1] = ' mutt_bgrun ' + parts[1]
    mymailcap.write(';'.join(parts))
mymailcap.close()

I just can’t remember where the command is put for that – it dont see anything in ~/.mutt.rc nor in ~/.mailcap

you know where that’s located? and if so, could you post the line you have that does that?

You should check out POPFile. It uses Bayesian filtering to classify mail into any number of catagories you setup. That could help make that much email easier to deal with. It is also good at spam filtering.

> 8000 emails to answer? Sounds like you need an assistant, or an extra large heavy duty delete key and a wireless/chipless vacation

Off-topic for this particular post; but a quick question: G doesn’t highlight Capitalized keywords in URL’s (only lowercase). Is this a post-query highlighting filter bug (that’s been around for 1 year and not fixed) or is this indicative of capitalized keywords in the URL not “counting”?

I recently switched to gmail from Eudora, but miss having offline access to my mail. Seems gmail could add that feature.

I like gmail’s simple, non folder approaches to archiving and searching.
