If you like the plugin, please rate it! You can now follow the plugin at github: http://github.com/chrisbra/CheckAttach                                                                   *CheckAttach* 1. Functionality When using mutt as your mail user agent, you can specify which files to attach using the pseudo header :Attach. This only works when edit_headers is set in your .muttrc configuration file. See the mutt manual for further information about that topic. A simple version of this plugin has been posted to the mutt-users list (see http://marc.info/?i=20090116091203.GB3197%20()%20256bit%20!%20org) and after using it for some time, I decided to make a plugin out of it. This plugin checks, whether certain keywords exist in your mail, and if found, you'll be asked to attach the files. This is done to prevent that you sent mails in which you announce to attach some files but actually forget to attach the files so that your have to write a second mail which often is quite embarassing. Therefore this plugin checks for the presence of keywords which indicate that an attachment should be attached. If if finds these keywords, the plugin will ask you for the files to attach, whenever you save your mail. This looks like this: Attach file: (leave empty to abbort): At that prompt you can specify any file you'd like to attach. It allows filename completion, so you can use <Tab> to let vim complete file paths. Additionally you can specify glob patterns and let vim attach all files, that match the pattern. So if you enter ~/.vim/plugin/*.vim vim would add for each plugin it finds an Attach-header.  If you enter an empty value or "n" (without the quotes), no file will be attached. The plugin will by default escape blank space in your filename by using ''. mutt before version 1.5.20 had a bug, that would not allow you to add files whose filename contain spaces. If you are using mutt version smaller 1.5.20 this means you would have to rename those files first before attaching them. (See mutt bug 3179: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3179) You can specify which keywords will be searched by setting the g:attach_check_keywords variable. By default this variable is specified as: let g:attach_check_keywords = 'attach,attachment,angehängt,Anhang' so that it can handle German and English. If you would like to add the keyword foobar, use this command: let g:attach_check_keywords .=',foobar'                                          *EnableCheckAttach* *DisableCheckAttach* You can disable the plugin by issuing the command :DisableCheckAttach Enabling the attachment check is then again enabled by issuing :EnableCheckAttach You can also use the ! attribute when saving your buffer to temporarily skip the check. So if you use :w! the buffer will not be checked for attachments, only if you use :w it will. ============================================================================== 2.
