emacs file so starting Aquamacs fresh for each mail message is not practical.

It incorporates both the emacs keybindings and the mac keybindings in a logical way.

Its a native Mac OS program so you don't have to launch X11 to run it.

Aquamacs is by far the best emacs for Mac OS: but I decided I really wanted emacs back. Next I needed an editor to use with mutt. I chose not to install in /sw to keep Fink packages (which go in /sw by default) separate from packages I built myself. configure -enable-hcache -enable-imap -with-sslĪnd did the usual make & make-install to install in /usr/local. + GDBM_DIRS='$mutt_cv_prefix /usr/local /usr /sw'Įcho '$as_me:$LINENO: checking for gdbm_open' >&5Įcho $ECHO_N 'checking for gdbm_open. GDBM_DIRS='$mutt_cv_prefix /usr/local /usr' + snprintf (s, _POSIX_PATH_MAX, '%s/mutt-%s-%d-%d', NONULL (Tempdir), (unsigned int) rand(), (unsigned int) rand())

NONULL (Hostname), (int) getuid (), (int) getpid (), Counter++, Change the tempfile name string so that other programs think it is old mutt: - muttlib.c.orig 00:41:12.000000000 -0500 I hacked mutt-ng two ways before running the configure:ġ. Mutt-ng is a more experimental split from mutt that incorporates a number of extra patches. I elected to build mutt-ng from source and use it instead. necessary if you want header caching in muttįink does include mutt but the version is somewhat old.necessarily if you want ssl support in mutt.text-mode web browser (useful for previewing html documents).The following fink packages are generally useful in conjunction with mutt: You need to first install fink, the collection of free gnu/linux/etc software for Mac OS X.

I've been using mutt as my mail editor on that platform and it works quite well. My current home system is an Apple Powerbook 667DVI running Mac OS X 10.4.3. For example, I think the mutt that comes in macports now supplies everything you need. Lots of stuff in here is still relevant, but there have been some changes. Note 5/21/11: these instructions are obviously quite old.
