In one article, I have talked about mutt, a text based mail client. Although not as popular as Thunderbird or Evolution, mutt still has the love of many avid Linux users. If you just want to read the text of the emails like me, you should consider using mutt as the default mail client.

I can send a random image as an attachment to an email address using mutt but how can I send 10 random images from a folder and attach them all and email them?

the following works fine with one random image

How can I send a random image from a folder and any of its subfolders

Hi,I was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way to yank/copy text while reading an email in Mutt, using just key strokes.

So the idea of this was to create a "server" that would work by reading my email and looking for certain key headers in the email. When an email with a certain header is detected, the commands in it are interpreted and run. These are not Linux commands mind you, just different commands I have made available.
