  • How to attach e-mails in mutt?

    From Ant@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 16 17:22:17 2020
    Hello.

    How do I attach e-mails in mutt when replying to an e-mail? It's easy to do it via GUI clients, but how do I do it in text mutt?

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

    The same way as when you compose a mail from scratch. At some point
    you find yourself at a screen where you just see the
    from/to/cc/subject/etc headers, and have the options to edit the
    message more, or send the message:

    y:Send q:Abort t:To c:CC s:Subj a:Attach file d:Descrip ?:Help
    From: Jörgen Grahn <grahn@somewhere>
    To: someone@somewhere
    Cc:
    Bcc:
    Subject: Re: something
    Reply-To:
    Fcc: =sent.2020
    Security: None

    -- Attachments
    - I 1 /tmp/foo[text/plain, 8bit, iso-88

    I use these .muttrc options; don't know if they matter:

    set autoedit
    set edit_headers
    set include = yes

    From the compose window use attach-message, i.e. press A (capital A, so Shift+A), open mailbox, then 't' tag any number of messages you want to
    attach and 'q' quit view.

    The same way as [...]

    I see I misunderstood; I thought you meant attaching files. You wrote
    "attach e-mails", I read "attach to e-mails" and thought it was a
    funny way of phrasing it.
