Generate Procmail recipes from Gnus

Generate Procmail recipes from Gnus

Heavily inspired, and even more based on, gnus-sieve.el I created a
way to generate Procmail recipes from inside Gnus.

This way you can add an `procmail' entry to your group parameters like

     (procmail . "^Sender:.*arne@arnested.dk")

and have it turned into recipes like

:0
* ^Sender:.*arne@arnested.dk
~/Maildir/mail.junk/

or

     (procmail "^From:.*larsi" "^Subject:.*gnus")

to 

:0
* ^From:.*larsi
* ^Subject:.*gnus
~/maildir/mail.important/

You will still have to know how to write a Procmail condition, but you
can keep them together with your group parameters and the recipes will
adjust themselves to changing group names.

The format of the action line (the destination of the mail) is decided
by `gnus-procmail-action' (a format string or a function).

Feedback appreciated.

Kind regards,

Seems neat to me, but I don't use procmail/maildir, so I'm not the
best of judges.  :-)  But would you want to include this in Gnus?

Wow, you're following up on old mail -- this one was almost one year
old!

Including it in Gnus would be nice. Just give me a few days to look
over the code to see if any improvements come to mind (I probably have
made some during the last year anyway).

Btw. maildir is not a requirement, but just mentioned in some of the
examples.

Kind regards,

Cool.  You should probably also include some documentation for
gnus.texi.

Yep. I once started writing something, but now is a good time to
finish it :-)
