COLORIZING nmh
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
I've been using nmh on Linux for a few years now, it is a powerful mail
|
|
handling system maintained by a team of volunteers. The latest version can
|
|
be found at: http://www.mhost.com/nmh/
|
|
|
|
A few months ago I discovered grc, a very cool "generic colouriser",
|
|
written by Radovan Garabik <garabik@melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk>
|
|
http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/grc.html
|
|
|
|
Since I'm hooked on nmh, I decided to use grc with it.
|
|
Here's a list of the files needed:
|
|
|
|
The latest version of these files can be found at:
|
|
http://users.anet.com/~mig/nmh-in-color/nmh-in-color.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
configs/
|
|
bashrc-entries Example alias entries for a ~/.bashrc file.
|
|
conf.flists grc config for flists command.
|
|
conf.inc grc config for inc command.
|
|
conf.mail grc config for show command.
|
|
conf.scan grc config for scan command.
|
|
grc.conf-entries sample entries for use in grc.conf
|
|
mh_profile-entries sample entries for use in ~/.mh_profile
|
|
mhl.body sample format file for MIME message body
|
|
mhl.format sample format file for show command
|
|
mhl.headers sample format file for MIME message headers
|
|
rxvt-resources rxvt settings from ~/.Xdefaults used for the
|
|
screenshots
|
|
scripts/
|
|
viewmail Script for viewing colorized e-mail.
|
|
vimail Script to call vim in mail-syntax mode.
|
|
|

|
INSTALLATION
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Grab nmh-1.0.x.tar.gz, and grc_0.x.tar.gz from the websites above. Read the
|
|
documentation included with the packages and install them. Grc requires a
|
|
Python interpreter. I tested with grc_0.81 and Python-1.5.1.
|
|
|
|
Copy the conf.* files to /usr/share/grc/ or /usr/local/share/grc/, depending
|
|
on how grc was installed.
|
|
|
|
Copy viewmail and vimail somewhere in your path, like ~/bin/. Note vimail
|
|
does not use grc, but makes use of vim-5.x syntax-highlighting. You may have
|
|
to modify the path to the syntax description files given in the script to
|
|
match your system. If you only want to colorize email-viewing, or you don't
|
|
use vim to compose messages, don't install vimail.
|
|
|
|
Add the contents of bashrc-entries to your ~/.bashrc, and the contents of
|
|
mh_profile-entries to your ~/.mh_profile (look these over first, some of these
|
|
profile entries are just my personal preference). Also, add grc.conf-entries
|
|
to /etc/grc.conf.
|
|
|
|
I recommend the use of rxvt (http://www.rxvt.org). I've included the settings
|
|
from my .Xdefaults file in rxvt-resources (don't forget to do a xrdb -load
|
|
.Xdefaults after you put these in place).

COMMENTS

--------
|
|
|
|
The color-scheme I've used in the conf.* files is optimized for light text on
|
|
a dark background. Please feel free to make modifications.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
