gnus-message-archive-group Q.

[Dmitry Yaitskov]

Hi,

There are a few samples for gnus-message-archive-group, including

     (setq gnus-message-archive-group
           '(("^alt" "sent-to-alt")
             ("mail" "sent-to-mail")
             (".*" "sent-to-misc")))

and

     (setq gnus-message-archive-group
           '((if (message-news-p)
                 "misc-news"
               (concat "mail." (format-time-string "%Y-%m")))))

But how can I say something like:

     (setq gnus-message-archive-group
           '(("^alt" "sent-to-alt")
             ("mail" (concat "mail." (format-time-string "%Y-%m")))
             (".*" "sent-to-misc")))


The docs for gnus-message-archive-group say that it can be set to "an
alist of regexps, functions and forms When a key "matches", the result
is used." - this seems to be what I need, but I couldn't figure out a
way to set it (the gnus-inews-insert-archive-gcc function treats the
"(concat..." in the last example to be a string). Thanks.

Assuming you don't leave Emacs running for days at a time:
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      `(("^alt" "sent-to-alt")
        ("mail" ,(concat "mail." (format-time-string "%Y-%m")))
        (".*" "sent-to-misc")))

This will determine the group name once when you first evaluate it; if
the month changes while Emacs is running, the group name won't be
updated unless you re-eval the setq form.

Suggestion: (format-time-string "mail.%Y-%m")

Thanks. Unfortunately (?) I do leave Emacs running (unless I update
the sources and rebuild it), sometimes for weeks even.

You might be able to arrange to have Emacs execute that statement
every day, for example with midnight.el.

Sounds to me like a job for the gnus-demon.

Or add it to some hook, if there's an appropriate one.  Is there?

Thanks for the idea (and to Paul Jarc for the idea to do that in a
hook). But what (and where) is midnight.el?
