gnus-simplify-subject-fuzzy doesn't work

[clemens fischer]

i've got a despammed address.  emails i receive thru it are prefixed
with "\\[despammed\\] ".  i want to get rid of this string, because i
keep forgetting to delete it when replying.

i've got:


(setq gnus-simplify-subject-fuzzy-regexp '(
      "\\[despammed\\]"
      )
      gnus-simplify-ignored-prefixes "\\[despammed\\]"
      gnus-simplify-subject-functions '(
      gnus-simplify-subject-fuzzy
      cf-gnus-simplify-subject-summary
      )
)

which doesn't seem to work.  i even tried to cook up my own:

(defun cf-gnus-simplify-subject-summary (subject)
  "Remove \"Summary:\" from subject lines."
  (if (string-match
       "\\`\\(.*\\)\\[despammed\\] \\(.*\\)\\'"
       subject)
      (concat
       ;(substring subject (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))
       ;(substring subject (match-beginning 2) (match-end 2))
       (match-string 1 subject)
       (match-string 2 subject)
      )
    subject))

which also doesn't work.  is there something wrong with
gnus-simplify-subject-fuzzy?  i expected it to make the prefix
disappear in both the summary and the article buffer, but it is left
untouched.

If you want to hide it from the summary view, you should use
`gnus-list-identifiers'.

yes, thanks to you and ted for this tip.  it works, although i do not
only want to hide it from the summary, but from replies as well.
also, i don't understand why g-simplify-subject-fuzzy doesn't do
that.  i can't even see any irregularities in the source.

I thought subject simplification was for threading purposes only, and
it didn't actually modify the subject contents?

this is news to me.  i don't remember having read about it in info,
but there's definitely no mention of it in any related doc-string.

so, how do people filter out strings in subjects?  the means are
obviously there...

I use message-subject-re-regexp to remove unwanted stuff
from my outgoing emails. Maybe this can work for you as
well?

the doc-string suggests this would only remove "Re[1-9]+:" type of
stuff, and the source says the same.  the list-indicators helped me.

It depends on the variable's value. I have it set to:

"^\\(\\(\\([Rr][Ee]\\|[Ss][Vv]\\|[Aa][Ww]\\|[Ff][Ww]d?\\|Réf\\. ?\\):\\|\\[SPAM\\]\\)+ *\\)"

to remove "Re" in a couple of languages and also to remove a
[SPAM] prefix inserted globally here at my site for
suspected spam.

Ok. Maybe I should take a look at that too...

If you want to remove it from incoming messages, maybe
nnmail-list-identifiers is the trick.

Is there a similar way to handle this for nnimap? I couldn't
find an nnimap-list-identifiers variable anywhere...

nnmail-list-identifiers modifies articles, which isn't supported by
the IMAP protocol.  `gnus-list-identifiers' should be a
non-destructive version of it.
