add a gcc field according to bbdb entry

add a gcc field according to bbdb entry

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

Does anybody know about a function which would insert a gcc field,
according to a relevant BBDB entry?
Example the entry 
gnus-folder: nnimap+myserverimap.here.net:Gnus
would insert
Ccc: nnimap+myserverimap.here.net:Gnus

I played a little around, but it seems not that trivial.

Thanks

check out gnus-mail-save-name and gnus-file-save-name.

Could you please be a little bit more specific. How should I set 
these variables? The documentation just tells me:
,----
| `gnus-file-save-name' is a variable declared in Lisp.
|   -- loaded from "gnus-art"
| 
| Value: gnus-numeric-save-name
| 
| Documentation:
| A function generating a file name to save articles in article format.
| The function is called with NEWSGROUP, HEADERS, and optional
| LAST-FILE.

I don't understand exactly how you plan for this to work.  Do you want
a function that looks up whatever's on, say, the To line and pulls the
gnus-folder record for that bbdb record?  Or do you want a posting
style (but what you search for in that case?)  Anyway, the functions
you want are bbdb-search (use the result of bbdb-records as the first
argument) and then bbdb-record-getprop against the record that matches
your query.  An example off the top of my head, and which is
completely untried would be something like this:

(defun get-folder-for-address (TO)
  "Get gnus-folder record for the bbdb entry with TO in the net
address"
  (let ((rec (car (bbdb-search (bbdb-records) nil nil TO nil nil))))
    (bbdb-record-getprop rec 'gnus-folder)))

And then you'd do something like

(message-insert-header "Gcc" 
  (get-folder-for-address (message-fetch-field "To")))

Again, off the top of my head. Odds are there's some tweaking needed.

Right, more or less. I have set via   `gnus-group-customize'
set the CGG to the current group.

So if I send a mail Joe Doe, in the group, which is called say  
nnimap+myserverimap.here.net:Gnus, then 
nnimap+myserverimap.here.net:Gnus, is inserted in the Ccc field.

However sometimes I want to send a message to Joe Doe from a different
group, but I want to have the Gcc nnimap+myserverimap.here.net:Gnus.

So suppose I add  to Joe Doe's bbdb entry, the field gnus-folder (it
could be called different of course). That field has the value
nnimap+myserverimap.here.net:Gnus. 
So if I had an a interactive function which would allow me to modify
the gcc, and yank the gcc field from that bbdb entry, I would be done

Thanks very much but it did not work, it returns error, so I continue
trying.
