Subject: gnus-summary-limit-to-author, can we change it?
Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2012 18:28:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871uklkz33.fsf@ericabrahamsen.net> (raw)
Commit c79df675b50e367e228dde5f417fca33e60814d8 inserts the "from"
address of the message under point as the default address to use when
filtering with `gnus-summary-limit-to-author'.
I use this function all the time, and so far this behavior has not once
been what I want -- having to delete the default address adds a
cumbersome step to what was once my speediest method of finding recent
messages.
More user-friendly might be to use the "From" address of the message
under point as a default only if a blank string is given at the prompt.
So you hit `/ a', and you see:
"Limit to author (regexp, default from@under-point.com): "
Hit enter directly to limit to "from@under-point.com", or type a string
and enter to limit to that.
I'd be happy to submit a patch to this effect if the above sounds
acceptable. Might as well do it for all "limit-to" functions that
operate on a specific header too, right?
Yours,
Eric
