Re: Reddit Backend Message Ids

[Stefan Huchler <stefan.huchler@mail.de>]

Hi Haider,

I played a bit around and I got something working very hackish but it
works:

if you go to the function: nnreddit-request-article

(let ((header (car value))
              (data (cadr value))
              (type (caddr value))
	      (subreddit
	       (string-remove-suffix "*"
				     (string-remove-prefix
				      "*Article nnreddit:"
				      (buffer-name)))))

add this "subreddit" binding here and a few lines further change the
Subject to that:

     (concat "Subject: "
		     (format "[https://reddit.com/r/%s/comments/%s] - "
			     subreddit
			     (plist-get data :id))
		     (or (mail-header-subject header) "(none)") "\n")
             "")
           "Date: " (or (mail-header-date header) "") "\n"


You get a clickable url in your Subject line to the subreddit. Only
works with the messages, not with the comments there you get a 404.

Not sure how to get the message id from the subreddit inside a comment.

Hope that's not to confusing :D

I hesitate to create a github till its more solid than that :D So sorry
for the copy/pasting.
