I have the following thing I want my Gnus to do, but before I set out to try it I want to know whether it can be done with juistifyable effort (my lisp is a bit rusty ....): I'm receiving mails from a message board software (and a filter sorts them into a separate folder). Obviously the sender address is that of the MessageBoard-software. Each mail starts with the message "This was posted by Isidor Pepranek on Tuesday..." (the name variies obviously) Now what I would like to achive is that in the summary-buffer of the folder for the Sender-Name instead of the MessageBoard-name the name of the poster is displayed. I have some vague ideas how this can be achieved (something with a hook on that group that filters the name from the message body and a local gnus-summary-line-format format), but I'm lacking experience with Gnus-programming, so it would take me days just to figure out where to look. Can somebody give me a hint how this could be done? Just something like "look at variable foo, implement hook bar for the buffer". One of the key questions for me is: Can it only be done by generating a new mail-header when filtering the mail (thus changing the messages on disk) or can it be done during the displaying of the summary buffer? Of course if somebody has already done something similar and would be so kind to share it (I can adapt it) I would be very grateful Bernhard -- Writing software is more fun than working.
