+ Mutt-ng flexibly allows users to define their own variables. To avoid conflicts

+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 24
+
+ reserved namespace for them: all user-defined variables must be prefixed with
+ user_ and can be used just like any ordinary configuration or environment vari-
+ able.
+
+ For example, to view the manual, users can either define three macros like the
+ following
+
+ macro generic <F1> "!less -r /path/to/manual" "Show manual"
+ macro pager <F1> "!less -r /path/to/manual" "Show manual"
+ macro index <F1> "!less -r /path/to/manual" "Show manual"
+
+ for generic, pager and index. The alternative is to define a custom variable
+ like so:
+
+ set user_manualcmd = '!less -r /path/to_manual"
+ macro generic <F1> "$user_manualcmd<enter>" "Show manual"
+ macro pager <F1> "$user_manualcmd<enter>" "Show manual"
+ macro index <F1> "$user_manualcmd<enter>" "Show manual"
+
+ Using this feature, arbitrary sequences can be defined once and recalled and
+ reused where necessary. More advanced scenarios could include to save a vari-
+ able's value at the beginning of macro sequence and restore it at end.
+
+ When the variable is first defined, the first value it gets assigned is also
+ the initial value to which it can be reset using the reset command.
+
+ The complete removal is done via the unset keyword.
+
+ After the following sequence:
+
+ set user_foo = 42
+ set user_foo = 666
+
+ the variable $user_foo has a current value of 666 and an initial of 42. The
+ query
- _\b3_\b._\b3 _\bD_\be_\bf_\bi_\bn_\bi_\bn_\bg_\b/_\bU_\bs_\bi_\bn_\bg _\ba_\bl_\bi_\ba_\bs_\be_\bs
+ set ?user_foo
+
+ will show 666. After doing the reset via
+
+ reset user_foo
+
+ a following query will give 42 as the result. After unsetting it via
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 25
+
+ unset user_foo
+
+ any query or operation (except the noted expansion within other statements)
+ will lead to an error message.

+
+ A note about variable's types during conversion: internally values are stored
+ in internal types but for any dump/query or set operation they're converted to
+ and from string. That means that there's no need to worry about types when ref-
+ erencing any variable. As an example, the following can be used without harm
+ (besides makeing muttng very likely behave strange):

+ set read_inc = 100
+ set folder = $read_inc

Mutt-ng contains support for so-called format=flowed messages. In the begin-

When you receive emails that are marked as format=flowed messages, and is for-
matted correctly, mutt-ng will try to reformat the message to optimally fit on
your terminal. If you want a fixed margin on the right side of your terminal,
you can set the following:
- set wrapmargin = 10
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 34
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 32
+ set wrapmargin = 10
The code above makes the line break 10 columns before the right side of the
terminal.
If your terminal is so wide that the lines are embarrassingly long, you can
also set a maximum line length:
- set max_line_length = 120
+ set max_line_length = 120
The example above will give you lines not longer than 120 characters.
When you view at format=flowed messages, you will often see the quoting hierar-
chy like in the following example:
- >Bill, can you please send last month's progress report to Mr.
- >Morgan? We also urgently need the cost estimation for the new
- >production server that we want to set up before our customer's
- >project will go live.
+ >Bill, can you please send last month's progress report to Mr.
+ >Morgan? We also urgently need the cost estimation for the new
+ >production server that we want to set up before our customer's
+ >project will go live.
This obviously doesn't look very nice, and it makes it very hard to differenti-
ate between text and quoting character. The solution is to configure mutt-ng to
"stuff" the quoting:
- set stuff_quoted
+ set stuff_quoted
This will lead to a nicer result that is easier to read:
- > Bill, can you please send last month's progress report to Mr.
- > Morgan? We also urgently need the cost estimation for the new
- > production server that we want to set up before our customer's
- > project will go live.
+ > Bill, can you please send last month's progress report to Mr.

When using a configuration on different systems, the user may not always have
influence on how mutt-ng is installed and which features it includes.
To solve this, mutt-ng contain a feature based on the ``ifdef'' patch written
for mutt. Its basic syntax is:
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 44
-
ifdef <item> <command>
ifndef <item> <command>
All available functions, variables and menus are documented elsewhere in this
manual but ``features'' is specific to these two commands. To test for one,
+

prefix one of the following keywords with feature_:
ncurses, slang, iconv, idn, dotlock, standalone, pop, nntp, imap, ssl,
An example for testing for variable names can be used if users use different
revisions of mutt-ng whereby the older one may not have a certain variable. To

of this syntax.
sign ``$'' are metacharacters that respectively match the empty string at the
beginning and end of a line.
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 46
-
A list of characters enclosed by ``['' and ``]'' matches any single character
in that list; if the first character of the list is a caret ``^'' then it
matches any character n\bno\bot\bt in the list. For example, the regular expression
place it anywhere but first. Finally, to include a literal hyphen ``-'' place
it last.
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 49
+
Certain named classes of characters are predefined. Character classes consist
of ``[:'', a keyword denoting the class, and ``:]''. The following classes are
defined by the POSIX standard:
A character class is only valid in a regular expression inside the brackets of
a character list. Note that the brackets in these class names are part of the
-
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 47
-
symbolic names, and must be included in addition to the brackets delimiting the
bracket list. For example, [\b[[\b[:\b:d\bdi\big\bgi\bit\bt:\b:]\b]]\b] is equivalent to [\b[0\b0-\b-9\b9]\b].
Collating Symbols
A collating symbol is a multi-character collating element enclosed
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 50
+
in ``[.'' and ``.]''. For example, if ``ch'' is a collating ele-
ment, then [\b[[\b[.\b.c\bch\bh.\b.]\b]]\b] is a regexp that matches this collating ele-
ment, while [\b[c\bch\bh]\b] is a regexp that matches either ``c'' or ``h''.
ing regular expression matches any string matching either subexpression.
Repetition takes precedence over concatenation, which in turn takes precedence
-
- The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 48
-
over alternation. A whole subexpression may be enclosed in parentheses to
override these precedence rules.

Sometimes it is desirable to perform an operation on a group of messages all at
ject. To tag all messages matching a pattern, use the tag-pattern function,
which is bound to ``shift-T'' by default. Or you can select individual mes-
sages by hand using the ``tag-message'' function, which is bound to ``t'' by

+ default. See _\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn_\bs (section 7.2 , page 83) for Mutt-ng's pattern matching
syntax.
Once you have tagged the desired messages, you can use the ``tag-prefix'' oper-
ator, which is the ``;'' (semicolon) key by default. When the ``tag-prefix''
operator is used, the n\bne\bex\bxt\bt operation will be applied to all tagged messages if
- that operation can be used in that manner. If the _\b$_\ba_\bu_\bt_\bo_\b__\bt_\ba_\bg (section 6.4.16 ,

+ page 93) variable is set, the next operation applies to the tagged messages
automatically, without requiring the ``tag-prefix''.

mutt will "eat" the rest of the macro to abort it's execution. Mutt-ng will
stop "eating" the macro when it encounters the ``end-cond'' operator; after
arbitrary commands before performing some operation. For example, you may wish

A sample mime.types file comes with the Mutt-ng distribution, and should con-
tain most of the MIME types you are likely to use.
In particular, the metamail distribution will install a mailcap file, usually
as /usr/local/etc/mailcap, which contains some baseline entries.

A mailcap file consists of a series of lines which are comments, blank, or def-
optional fields. Each field of a definition line is divided by a semicolon ';'
character.

The content type is specified in the MIME standard type/subtype method. For
example, text/plain, text/html, image/gif, etc. In addition, the mailcap for-
mat includes two formats for wildcards, one using the special '*' subtype, the

+
+ Please do not run mutt-ng as the super user.
+
+ When configuring mutt-ng, there're some points to note about secure setups.
+

+ mail user agents (in their default configuration) just by changing mutt-ng's
+ configuration files: it then can execute arbitrary programs and scripts

+

+ with asterisks when reporting a bug or asking for help via, for example, a

+ Mutt-ng uses many temporary files for viewing messages, verifying digital sig-
+ natures, etc. The _\b$_\bu_\bm_\ba_\bs_\bk (section 7.4.332 , page 170) variable can be used to
+ change the default permissions of these files. Please only change it if you
+ really know what you are doing. Also, a different location for these files may
+ be desired which can be changed via the _\b$_\bt_\bm_\bp_\bd_\bi_\br (section 7.4.328 , page 169)

+ In the default configuration, mutt-ng will leak some information to the outside
+ world when sending messages: the generation of Message-ID: headers includes a
+ step counter which is increased (and rotated) with every message sent. If you'd
+ like to hide this information probably telling others how many mail you sent in
+ which time, you at least need to remove the %P expando from the default setting
+ of the _\b$_\bm_\bs_\bg_\bi_\bd_\b__\bf_\bo_\br_\bm_\ba_\bt (section 7.4.148 , page 124) variable. Please make sure

+
+ As mutt-ng be can be set up to be the mail client to handle mailto: style links
+ in websites, there're security considerations, too. To keep the old behavior by
+ default, mutt-ng will be strict in interpreting them which means that arbitrary
+ header fields can be embedded in these links which could override existing
+ header fields or attach arbitrary files. This may be problematic if the
+ _\b$_\be_\bd_\bi_\bt_\b__\bh_\be_\ba_\bd_\be_\br_\bs (section 7.4.59 , page 102) variable is _\bu_\bn_\bs_\be_\bt, i.e. the user

+ supports mechanisms involving external applications.
+
+ _\b6_\b._\b4_\b._\b1 _\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\bc_\ba_\bp
+
+ One of these is the mailcap mechanism as defined by RfC 1524. Mutt-ng can be
+ set up to _\ba_\bu_\bt_\bo_\bm_\ba_\bt_\bi_\bc_\ba_\bl_\bl_\by execute any given utility as listed in one of the mail-
+ cap files (see the _\b$_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\bc_\ba_\bp_\b__\bp_\ba_\bt_\bh (section 7.4.121 , page 119) variable for
+ details.)
+
+ These utilities may have a variety of security vulnerabilities, including over-
+ writing of arbitrary files, information leaks or other exploitable bugs. These
+ vulnerabilities may go unnoticed by the user, especially when they are called
+ automatically (and without interactive prompting) from the mailcap file(s).
+ When using mutt-ng's autoview mechanism in combination with mailcap files,
+ please be sure to...
+
+ +\bo manually select trustworth applications with a reasonable calling sequence
+
+ +\bo periodically check the contents of mailcap files, especially after soft-
+ ware installations or upgrades
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 82

+
+ _\b6_\b._\b4_\b._\b2 _\bO_\bt_\bh_\be_\br
+
+ Besides the mailcap mechanism, mutt-ng uses a number of other external utili-
+ ties for operation.
+
+ The same security considerations apply for these as for tools involved via
+ mailcap (for example, mutt-ng is vulnerable to Denial of Service Attacks with
+ compressed folders support if the uncompressed mailbox is too large for the
+ disk it is saved to.)
+
+ As already noted, most of these problems are not built in but caused by wrong
