The options of metamail are not yet implemented, but it should # work as a filter without any problems. # # This script was written to use it in combination with the tin news # reader, where you have to set the envionment variable # METAMAIL=metamutt, but it should work with other programs, too. # # You need formail (from the procmail package) to use this script. If # you don't want to install formail, you will find an alternative # solution (commented out) below. # # Pressing "g" allows you to post a Followup to a newsgroup. # # Options: # -D allows splits a digest into seperate mails by using formail # (Feature added by Martin Ramsch ) # # This script tries to find a working muttrc (which is sourced first) # at the following places (descending priority): # 1) ~/.mutt/metamuttrc # 2) ~/.mutt/muttrc # 3) ~/.muttrc # # Most recent version can be found at http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/metamutt # # Many thanks for reporting bugs and introducing new features to # Moritz Barsnick, Ulli Horlacher, Urs Janßen, and Martin Ramsch. # ########################################################################## # # Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Roland Rosenfeld # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or # modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as # published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of # the License, or (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
