NAME
muttdelay - A bash script to delay mails written via mutt
WTF?
This is for scheduling the sending of mails for a specific future time.
Unlinke postponing a mail which does not involve the scheduling.
How it works
Configuring Vim
Do the following:
cp /usr/share/muttdelay/muttdelay.vim ~/.vim/plugin/
echo 'map ,L :call MuttDelay()<CR>' >> ~/.vimrc
Configuring Cron
And create an hourly cronjob such as:
0 * * * * /usr/bin/muttdelay cron
Configuring msmtp
You may use other command which can send an email instead. But this has
been tested with msmtp only.
It can be configured for example like this (change your configuration
accordingly to fit your needs):
cp /usr/share/muttdelay/msmtprc.example ~/.msmtprc
vim ~/.msmtprc
And ensure that you can send mails like this:
msmtp your@address.example.com <<< Hallo
If it works, you can go on. Or if you want to use another command to
send mails just edit
/etc/default/muttdelay
accordingly.
Use it
Open mutt, compose an email. Use Vim as your editor. After finishing
writing your mail don't close Vim, but run
,L
and the mail gets scheduled for sending for a later time. You can now
leave vim without sending the mail via mutt directly.
The mail itself is saved to
~/.muttdelay/SENDTIMESTAMP.COMPOSETIMESTAMP
The cron job checks if there is any SENDTIMESTAMP lower than the current
unix time stamp. And if so, all matching mails are sent.
