Subject: Small improvement on fancy mail splitting example
Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2007 23:14:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wsw8icvm.fsf@gmx.de> (raw)
As a new Gnus fan, I wanted to incorporate my old mail and split it
into sensible groups. I found the following example in the "Fancy
Mail Splitting" section:
,----
| If you want to have Gnus create groups dynamically based on some
| information in the headers (i.e., do `replace-match'-like substitutions
| in the group names), you can say things like:
|
| (any "debian-\\b\\(\\w+\\)@lists.debian.org" "mail.debian.\\1")
|
| In this example, messages sent to `debian-foo@lists.debian.org' will
| be filed in `mail.debian.foo'.
`----
I incorporated this into my nnmail-split-fancy variable and respooled
my old mail. That went quite well, but stuff sent to
debian-l10n-german@lists.debian.org went to wrong places. And Debian
has quite a lot of debian-foo-bar@lists.debian.org lists not covered
by the above regexp.
So I improved on this and came up with the following patch:
2007-08-06 Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de> (tiny change)
* gnus.texi (Fancy Mail Splitting): Improve Debian lists example.

substitutions in the group names), you can say things like:

-(any "debian-\\b\\(\\w+\\)@@lists.debian.org" "mail.debian.\\1")
+(any "debian-\\(\\w+-?\\w*\\)@@lists.debian.org" "mail.debian.\\1")
@end example
In this example, messages sent to @samp{debian-foo@@lists.debian.org}
(The \\b is totally superfluous, AFAICS). Now my mail groups look much
better. :-)
Cheers,
Sven
