I did a tar -ztvf muttbl2.tgz on the newer version and discovered that it 
overwrites links.cfg.  I would prefer that the package use some sort 
of installation script and instead of replacing files, add to them, maybe 
with echo.

I had set up links.cfg to work with streaming audio and zgv.  I have a 
copy on another computer fortunately.

Christof also added zgv as a viewer.  I think this part needs a small fix 
- he has two lines both reading association "zgv" "image/gif" and also 
extension "png" "image/gif".  Probably gif should be changed to png. And 
also add extension ".jpe" and "jpeg" for "image/jpeg"

I had set up links (with Steven's help, modeled on BL3) to use his mailto 
script (which no longer works now that mutt has disabled mailz because 
they use different .pmailrc).

mailto "mailto %" 1  - used to call up his script when I typed in a
mailto:address in links or clicked on a mailto: link at a site.

I added to the mu script, right after mutt, a $1
mutt keesan AT freeshell.org brings up mutt in mail-compose mode
with this address already on the To: line

I replaced the "writemail" line in links.cfg with
mailto "mu %" 1

In links I can type g and then
mailto:keesan AT freeshell.org
and it lets me mail keesan AT freeshell.org

If I click on my own email link at my website:
mailto:"keesan AT freeshell.org"; it tries to mail to _keesan AT freeshell.org_
(I don't know why the friend who made my resume into a website put the 
quotation marks and I will remove them.)

Maybe Christof wants to modify links.cfg and mu as above so that mutt will 
work as the links mailer (but add to the end  of links.cfg instead of 
replacing it).

I still can't get mutt to work on my other computer.  "argh"
Same .pmailrc file.  How do I send files starting in . from one computer 
to the other?  When I tried to send .* the whole system started to 
transfer.  I want to copy over the working /root/Mail/*

Lynx uses nano as the editor when I do a mailto: and I don't need to 
send attachments so don't need mutt or any other mail program to do a 
mailto with lynx.  Where is lynx/nano putting the saved file?  I can tell 
sendmail to look there for it and tell lynx where to find sendmail.
It is not in /tmp.  I am not asked about the file name to write to.
Pico -w is the default EDITOR in /etc/profile.  Is there some default file 
it writes to?  	If I figure this out I could use lynx as my mail program 
until mutt is fixed.

Grep (busybox) does not seem to look in subdirectories.  I wrote a mail 
and then tried to look for the character string in it (!@#$%).

There are lots of mailz and two mutt- directories in /tmp.
At least one of my mailz mails went here as outbox002_0001.  How do I get 
it into /root/mail/outbox now that .pmailrc has been changed to work with 
mutt?
