nnimap-generate-folder-list-from-bbdb, almost.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5472 bytes --]

Hello

Some  weeks ago I  asked in the gnus group  for a function which would
allow to generate a entry  in the nnimap-split-fancy  list, based on a
relevant bbdb entry.

I am almost there, that is I obtained  a function
(my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb) --which I have added below--

Evaluation the function, that 
(eval-expression '(my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb) nil)
returns
(
("From" "bill@upct\\.es" "testbill") 
                            ^this is the relevant bbdb entry.
("From" "oub@mat\\.ucm\\.es" "testimap"))
                                ^this is the relevant bbdb entry.
                              

Now the problem is I don't know who to add this to the
nnimap-split-entry

That variable is as follows:

   (setq
 nnimap-split-rule  'nnimap-split-fancy
 nnimap-split-inbox "INBOX"
 nnimap-split-fancy
 '(|
   ("Subject" "POSIBLE SPAM" "SPAM.POSS")
   ("Subject"  ".*\\[labest05\\].*" "Labest05")	
   ("To" "xemacs-patches@xemacs.org" "Xemacs-patches") ;
   ("Sender" "xemacs-patches-bounces@xemacs.org" "Xemacs-patches") ;
   ("To" " users@dba.openoffice.org" "OO-dba") ;
   ("Sender" "preview-latex-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net" "Preview-latex") ;
   ("Sender" "linux-thinkpad-admin@linux-thinkpad.org" "Linux-thinkpad") ;
   ("From" "MA_Quimicas@mat.ucm.es" "Secrequi")
   ("From" "Matematica_Aplicada@mat.ucm.es" "Secremat")
   (: setq spam-use-BBDB-exclusive nil)
   (: spam-split 'spam-use-BBDB 'spam-use-stat "SPAM.REAL")
   (: spam-split 'spam-use-regex-headers "SPAM.POSS") ;Version:1.10
   (: setq spam-use-BBDB-exclusive t fake-variable nil)
   (: spam-split 'spam-use-BBDB "SPAM.HAM")
   (: setq spam-use-BBDB-exclusive nil)
   "MAILBOX"))



So I thought of either doing

(defun my:nnimap-generate-folder-list-from-bbdb ()
   "Sets 'nnimap-folder-list to the result of
 my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb."
   (interactive)
    (add-to-list 'nnimap-split-fancy
          (my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb) )) 


Which resulted in 



`nnimap-split-fancy' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "nnimap"

Value: ((("From" "oub@mat\\.ucm\\.es" "testimap")) | ("Subject"
"POSIBLE SPAM" "SPAM.POSS") ("Subject" ".*\\[labest05\\].*"

("Sender" "xemacs-patches-bounces@xemacs.org" "Xemacs-patches") ("To"

spam-use-BBDB-exclusive nil) (: spam-split (quote spam-use-BBDB)
(quote spam-use-stat) "SPAM.REAL") (: spam-split (quote
spam-use-regex-headers) "SPAM.POSS") (: setq spam-use-BBDB-exclusive t
fake-variable nil) (: spam-split (quote spam-use-BBDB) "SPAM.HAM") (:
setq spam-use-BBDB-exclusive nil) "MAILBOX")

which is wrong the new entry has to appear
after the | symbol

Or

(defun my:nnimap-generate-folder-list-from-bbdb ()
   "Sets 'nnimap-folder-list to the result of
 my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb."
   (interactive)
   (add-to-list 'nnimap-split-fancy
         (my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb) 'append))

Which results in 
`nnimap-split-fancy' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "nnimap"

Value: (| ("Subject" "POSIBLE SPAM" "SPAM.POSS") ("Subject"
".*\\[labest05\\].*" "Labest05") ("To" "xemacs-patches@xemacs.org"

setq spam-use-BBDB-exclusive nil) "MAILBOX" (("From"
"oub@mat\\.ucm\\.es" "testimap")))

Which is also bad, since it is the last entry.

   (: spam-split 'spam-use-BBDB "SPAM.HAM")
   (: setq spam-use-BBDB-exclusive nil)
   "MAILBOX"))

That however gave an error I have attached below. (As I understand
there are to may parenthesis generated.)

I would appreciate any help on this subject. I think that function can
be really convenient.


Thanks

You can use a macro to do this.

For example (from the manual, see the ELisp manual, node "Macros"):

    '(a list of (+ 2 3) elements)
          => (a list of (+ 2 3) elements)
    `(a list of (+ 2 3) elements)
          => (a list of (+ 2 3) elements)
     `(a list of ,(+ 2 3) elements)
          => (a list of 5 elements)

Note how the backquote turns the expression into a macro.

So it seems that in your case, something like this:

(setq nnimap-split-fancy
 `(|
   ("Subject" "POSIBLE SPAM" "SPAM.POSS")
...
  ,(my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb)
...
  "MAILBOX"
  ))

should work.

Use the ,@ expansion instead of just ,

See the Elisp manual, section "Macros" for more information.  It's
really not that complicated, and you'll understand it better from the
many examples.  I tried to avoid it for a while, and my code turned
out much uglier without macros :)

Here's an example that returns (1 5 6 2 3) because the (list) function
call is flattened by the ,@ operator.

`(1 ,@(list 5 6) 2 3)

That should be exactly what you need.

Great I did not know about this.

Almost almost.

I works when (my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb) would just return one
entry however if there are more the above setting leads to 
`nnimap-split-fancy' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "nnimap"

Value: (| 
(("From" "oub@gmx\\.net" "imapgmx") 
^evil par
        ("From" "oub@mat\\.ucm\\.es" "testimap")) 
                                                ^evil par
("Subject" ".*\\[POSSILBLE
SPAM\\].*" "SPAM.POSS")
and this is evil


So I was pointed out that    ,(car (my:nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb))
might, work, it does, but of course it will add only *the first*  of the above
list entries not all of them. Lisp is made to deal with lists, but
how?

Thanks

THANKS, VERY MUCH


It works like charm. I think after some review I will try that this
function gets included into gnus (and/or bbdb. find it *very* useful.
