Limit summary to participant

Limit summary to participant

[Nicolas Kowalski]

Hello.

Using Oort 0.07, is there a way to limit summary buffers to a
particular To, CC field or any Participant field (like in Pine), as
does `gnus-summary-limit-to-author' ?

BTW, can the `display' group parameter be used to limit articles
display by age (say, make one group only display messages younger than
one week) ?

Thanks.

You can add To and Cc to nnmail-extra-headers and
gnus-extra-headers.  Then you can do `/ x' to limit on the To and on
the Cc header.

This is not what you want, I think, but it's the closest that Gnus
supports, I think.

(setq nnmail-extra-headers '(To Cc Newsgroups))
(setq gnus-extra-headers nnmail-extra-headers)

Not that I know of.  You can execute `/ t' when you enter the group,
and probably you can add this to a hook, too.

This seems to do most of the job needed. I can handle things with
this. Thanks.

What hook is the best for this ? If I use :

(add-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-hook 
	  (lambda ()(gnus-summary-limit-to-age 7 t)))

...it turns into infinite loop :-(.

Thanks.

Maybe gnus-summary-limit-to-age calls the hook again.  You could do
this hack:

(lambda ()
  (let ((gnus-summary-prepare-hook nil))
    (gnus-summary-limit-to-age 7 t)))

Yep ! This works well :-). Thank you.

You should use gnus-summary-prepared-hook, which only runs the
first time a summary buffer is produced.  Also, this allows you
to use '/ w' to pop this limit.

This works well :-). 

Thanks for the tip.

nnmail-extra-headers means to insert them into the overview/NOV data
for nnml and nnfolder (and other backends supporting NOV).

gnus-extra-headers means, I think, to extract them from the
overview/NOV data when present.  Also, some backends don't have NOV
and so this variable means (I think) to extract them from the headers.

For example, if your NNTP server provides some headers as extra
headers, then you don't need nnmail-extra-headers.

But indeed, there is great overlap in their use, so maybe they should
be unified.  Opinions?
