- Save that script somewhere in your ${PATH}, make it executable, and
- change the invocation of iceweasel to any other HTML viewer if
- necessary. Then within the emacs client, press "|" to pipe the
- current message, then type "view-html".
-
- Keith mentions the following caveat, "Note that if iceweasel isn't
- already running, it seems to shut down when the script exits. I
- don't know why."

-* **msmtp, message mode and multiple accounts**
-
- As an alternative to running a mail server such as sendmail or
- postfix just to send email, it is possible to use
- [msmtp](http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/). This small application will
- look like /usr/bin/sendmail to a MUA such as emacs message mode, but
- will just forward the email to an external SMTP server. It's fairly
- easy to set up and it support several account for using different
- SMTP servers. The msmtp pages have several examples.
-
- A typical scenario is that you want to use the company SMTP server
- for email coming from your company email address, and your personal
- server for personal email. If msmtp is passed the envelope address
- on the command line (the -f/--from option) it will automatically
- pick the matching account. The only trick here seems to be getting
- emacs to actually pass the envelope from. There are a number of
- overlapping configuration variables that control this, and it's a
- little confusion, but setting these three works for me:
-
- - mail-specify-envelope-from: t
-
- - message-sendmail-envelope-from: header
-
- - mail-envelope-from: header
-
- With that in place, you need a .msmtprc with the accounts configured
- for the domains you want to send out using specific SMTP servers and
- the rest will go to the default account.

-* <span id="sync_maildir_flags">**how to sync notmuch tags and maildir
- flags**</span>
-
- There is no built-in support for sunchronizing your notmuch tags
- with your imap maildir flags (seen, replied, trashed, etc). However
- there are currently 2 ways in which you can achieve
- synchronization. In order to sync new notmuch tags to maildir flags,
- there is a python tool called
- [notmuchsync](http://spaetz.github.com/notmuchsync/) that allows
- synchronization in either direction or pruning of deleted files.
-
- The second solution allows for fast maildir flag to notmuch tag
- synchronization (and only in that direction) requires patching the
- notmuch source code. The patch has been posted in this mail
- *id:1267450136-31749-1-git-send-email-Sebastian@SSpaeth.de* and can
- be viewed as a [source diff in this git
- repository](http://github.com/spaetz/notmuch-all-feature/commit/df3b087cefb85e9d16fd17540e348bcb854dd7ee).
-
-* <span id="address_completion">**how to get email address completion**</span>
- There are 2 solutions. Use "bbdb" which allows you to maintain a mail database and gives you mail address completion with the tab key.
-
- Alternatively, you use the notmuch database as a mail address book
- itself. You need a command line tool that outputs likely address
- candidates based on a search string. There is a python tool
- notmuch_address.py (which can be fetched with `git clone
- http://jkr.acm.jhu.edu/git/notmuch_addresses.git`) (slower, but no
- compilation required so good for testing the setup) or the
- vala-based addrlookup (faster, but needs compiling). This is how
- you compile the (3rd party) tool "addrlookup" to give you address
- completion:
-
- - you need the addrlookup binary, first of all. Grab http://github.com/spaetz/vala-notmuch/raw/static-sources/src/addrlookup.c and build it with `cc -o addrlookup addrlookup.c ``pkg-config --cflags --libs gobject-2.0`` -lnotmuch`. That should give you the binary that you can test already.
-
- - EUDC is integrated into emacs and can be used for tab completion
- of email addresses. The code I use is here
- http://gist.github.com/359425. It was announce in [this
- mail](http://mid.gmane.org/87fx3uflkx.fsf@jhu.edu)
- (id:87fx3uflkx.fsf@jhu.edu) which contains links to the git
- repositories which contain the files.
-
-* <span id="sign_messages_gpg">**how to sign/encrypt my messages with
- gpg**</span>
-
- You can manually sign your messages with gpg by invoking `M-x
- mml-secure-sign-pgpmime` (or `M-x
- mml-secure-encrypt-pgpmime`). These functions are available via the
- convenient (*cough cough*) keybindings `C-c C-m s p` and `C-c C-m c
- p` by default. To sign my outgoing mail by default, I use this hook
- in my .emacs file:
-
- ;;sign messages by default
- (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mml-secure-sign-pgpmime)
-
- This inserts the blurb `<#part sign=pgpmime>` into the beginning of
- my mail text body and will be converted into a pgp signature when
- sending (so I can just manually delete that line if I do not want a
- mail to be signed).
