Mutt Configuration Files

The mailmonth script is now much simpler, using the date command directly to display X number of months ago. A little too late for the zipmail script for when I run it, but at least it works properly now. Thanks to Ron Rosson for pointing out a small bug with the date usage - it should now be fixed.

BinarySoul sent a patch for mailmonth which doesn't rely on GNU date at all.
Note! This modification just got messed up during my monthly zipmail script, so I'd advise against using it. I apologize for any problems this may have caused (It ended up gzipping most of the files in my home directory).

These files should be current with my own setup now, I don't think I missed anything. I also recommend the use of junkfilter, a great spam filter for procmail. SpamAssassin, a much better spam filter than junkfilter. Thanks to everybody that recommended it!

I am now using The Little Brother's Database as an external query for Mutt. It's pretty neat, can collect emails via procmail as you receive them, and even look in your PGP/GPG keyrings (though that's slightly too slow for my liking on my Linux box). A crontab entry clears out duplicate emails occasionally.

Thanks to the various people that have given me new ideas for my Mutt scripts:
(If you don't want to be listed here, let me know and I will remove your name)

• Dale L. Morris - for adding a variable to specify if you use Maildir or mbox (getfolders)
• Ron Rosson - for checking the previous month's mail for new messages that you haven't read yet (getfolders)
• Sven Guckes - for getting me to finally switch to Vim

And thanks to the mutt-users mailing list in general, it has been of great help.
