[Mutt + msmtp] a nice macro I have written...

[Thomas Baruchel]

Hi,

I wrote the following macros for quickly and easely change the current
msmtp account (press <tab> in Compose context until you have selected
the account you want ; press = in order to check which is the current
account).

# Define <tab> and = in order to switch or see the current msmtp account
# Don't forget to put the right path for msmtp binary
macro compose \Cx_ ":set sendmail"
macro compose \Cx| "\Cx_ = \"/usr/local/bin/msmtp"
macro compose \Cx& ":macro compose \\t \\Cx"
macro compose <tab> "\Cx0"
macro compose = "\Cx_\n"
# Put the account in the following lines (here three accounts)
# Don't forget to put the number of the account at the beginning
# of the line, and the number of the next account after the '&'
# you should leave the initial account (default) as it is here.
macro compose \Cx0 "\Cx|\"\n\Cx&1\n\Cx_\n" # default and switch to 1
macro compose \Cx1 "\Cx| -a archaiesteron\"\n\Cx&2\n\Cx_\n" # switch to 2
macro compose \Cx2 "\Cx| -a gmail\"\n\Cx&0\n\Cx_\n" # switch to 0
# End of the accounts

Regards,

I wrote an enhanced version of these macros, with an awk-based script
for writing them aumoatically by parsing the ~/.msmtprc.

New features are mainly : description in the help page, support for the
generic context, more robust (no previous binding is assumed, not even ':').

You can find the script at: http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttGuide/Msmtp

I tried it on several machines, and I found it works well. However,
the author of msmtp tells me that he can't make it work on his machine.
I will have a look in order to find why ; since I don't use GNU awk,
I suspect it has to do with some incompatibility in the regex, but
I also tried the script with GNU awk and found it working.
Please, tell me if you encounter the same problem.

Thomas,

Thanks again. I'm more interested in templates for macros
than changing servers at this point. I also use ssmtp
rather msmtp.

Why not use esmpt which does that automaticly?
See http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttGuide/Esmtp
The identity feature rocks.

Thank you for the link, but now I have installed msmtp and configured
it, I'll keep it ;-) Maybe another time (the point is that when I looked
for a SMTP client for mutt, I found msmtp in the freebsd ports, not
emstp ; further, msmtp is not bad ;-)

Thomas,

I have more than 10 accounts in msmtp. The script breaks in mutt if more than nine. Is there a workaround you can suggest?

Thanks.

I have more than 10 accounts in ~/.msmtprc and no problem at all. But
I also don't use any macro script with it, which this old news thread
archived at googlegroups seems to be about. Good luck.
