Subject: Splitting based on body content

Message-ID: <m38zu4rh2n.fsf@wesley.springies.com> (raw)

I want to autosend all of the mail relating to help desk calls at
work to their own folders.  Easy enough to do with fancy
splitting if people put the number in the header.  But they
don't, and our pathetic help desk system doesn't either.

So, I thought I'd write a function to do it from a ":" rule.
Problem is, I have no idea how to get the body of the article to
search.  Any clues?  It's not copied into the *nntpd* buffer
where you have access to the headers, and while I'm willing to
check another buffer, it seems that the buffer to look for is
different if you're respooling or getting incoming mail.  At that
point, I was way too confused and gave up trying to sort out the
code.
