cc'ing mail

cc'ing mail

[Stefan Waldherr]

Hi,

is there a way (other than gcc) that sorts outgoing mail into folders using
the same technique as for incoming mail (nnmail-split-fancy)? I currently cc
me all mail to achieve that. This is quiet inconvenient.

Unfortunately, I do most of my mail with `m' in the Group buffer, so that Gcc
is of no help here.

I could image some tag in the mail that uses nnmail-split-fancy on any sent
mail.

cu
Stefan.

I hate to be unhelpful -- but why don't you use Gcc, exactly?  As far
as I see, it does exactly what you want.

`m' in the group buffer works for me with Gcc.

  HN> `m' in the group buffer works for me with Gcc.

My understanding of Gcc is that it sorts mail depending on the folder where
you create the mail. But there is no folder to Gcc to in the Group
buffer. Maybe, I didn't understand the Gcc concept in it's full beauty?

Ouch!  I was wrong.  What I use is:

 Gcc: nnfolder+archive:sent-mail-Nov-1997

(the actual string being generated on the fly).  This does exactly
what *I* want -- but now I noticed that Stefan actually wants to use
the split rules on that.

Not really.  In Gcc, you can name any Gnus group.

Maybe you didn't -- but, even after understanding it, it still doesn't 
do all you want.

See above.  :-(

Huh?  Can you explain how?  I can't figure out how to make GCC[1] use the
rules from nnmail-split-fancy.

Footnotes: 
[1]  Mostly, gcc insist that I write in some dialect of C.[2]

[2]  Just kidding.

You could Fcc all the outgoing mail to, say, "~/.outgoing-mail" and
then include that file in `nnmail-spool-file'.  The result will be the
same, only you don't have to pester sendmail with the Cc's.

Yupp, works fine. Would it be a good idea to let gnus treat Fcc'ed mail not as
new mail? It's kinda odd that mail that I sent shows up as unread.

I don't think adding functionality to treat some inboxes as read mail
is worth it.
