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

playing them on fixed-size terminals. But times changed, and nowadays hardly

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 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.

If you're using multiple spam filters, a message can have more than one spam-

lowest priority. Numbers are sorted next, beginning with 0 and ranging upward.
Finally, non-numeric strings are sorted, with ``a'' taking lower priority than

instead of adding an exception. Likewise, if the _\bp_\ba_\bt_\bt_\be_\br_\bn for a spam command
matches an entry on the nospam list, that nospam entry will be removed. If the

+
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

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 80) 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 ,

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
to tailor your configuration based upon which mailbox you are reading, or to
whom you are sending mail. In the Mutt-ng world, a _\bh_\bo_\bo_\bk consists of a _\br_\be_\bg_\bu_\bl_\ba_\br

+ as few permissions as possible.
+
+ Please do not run mutt-ng as the super user.
+
+ When configuring mutt-ng, there're some points to note about secure setups.
+
+ In practice, mutt-ng can be easily made as vulnerable as even the most insecure
+ mail user agents (in their default configuration) just by changing mutt-ng's
+ configuration files: it then can execute arbitrary programs and scripts
+ attached to messages, send out private data on its own, etc. Although this is
+ not believed to the common type of setup, please read this chapter carefully.
+

+
+ Although mutt-ng can be told the various passwords for accounts, please never
+ store passwords in configuration files. Besides the fact that the system's
+ operator can always read them, you could forget to replace the actual password
+ with asterisks when reporting a bug or asking for help via, for example, a
+ mailing list so that your mail including your password could be archived by
+ internet search engines, etc. Please never store passwords on disk.

+
+ Mutt-ng uses many temporary files for viewing messages, verifying digital sig-
+ natures, etc. The _\b$_\bu_\bm_\ba_\bs_\bk (section 7.4.328 , page 166) variable can be used to
+ change the default permissions of these files. Please only change it if you
+ really know what you are doing. Also, a different location for these files may
+ be desired which can be changed via the _\b$_\bt_\bm_\bp_\bd_\bi_\br (section 7.4.324 , page 165)
+ variable.

+
+ 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 7.4.144 , page 120) variable. Please make sure
+ that you really know how local parts of these Message-ID: headers are composed.

+
+ 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 7.4.55 , page 98) variable is _\bu_\bn_\bs_\be_\bt, i.e. the user
+ doesn't want to see header fields while editing the message.
+
+ For example, following a link like
+
+ mailto:joe@host?Attach=~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
+
+ will send out the user's private gnupg keyring to joe@host if the user doesn't
+ follow the information on screen carefully enough.

+ ng will
+
+ +\bo be less strict when interpreting these links by prepending a X-Mailto-
+ string to all header fields embedded in such a link _\ba_\bn_\bd
+
+ +\bo turn on the _\b$_\be_\bd_\bi_\bt_\b__\bh_\be_\ba_\bd_\be_\br_\bs (section 7.4.55 , page 98) variable by force to

+ tion.)

+ Mutt-ng in many places has to rely on external applications or for convenience
+ 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$_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\bc_\ba_\bp_\b__\bp_\ba_\bt_\bh (section 7.4.117 , page 115) variable for
+ details.)
+
+ These utilities may have a variety of security vulnerabilities, including over-
+ writing of arbitrary files, information leaks or other exploitable bugs. These
+ vulnerabilities may go unnoticed by the user, especially when they are called
+ automatically (and without interactive prompting) from the mailcap file(s).
+ When using mutt-ng's autoview mechanism in combination with mailcap files,
+ please be sure to...
+
+ +\bo manually select trustworth applications with a reasonable calling sequence
+
+ +\bo periodically check the contents of mailcap files, especially after soft-
+ ware installations or upgrades
+
+ The Mutt Next Generation E-Mail Client 80
+
+ +\bo keep the software packages referenced in the mailcap file up to date
+
+ +\bo leave the _\b$_\bm_\ba_\bi_\bl_\bc_\ba_\bp_\b__\bs_\ba_\bn_\bi_\bt_\bi_\bz_\be (section 7.4.118 , page 115) variable in its
+ default state to restrict mailcap expandos to a safe set of characters
+
+ _\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
+ configuration, so please check your configuration.
