Getting Keywords: from parent article in message-setup-hook when following up

Getting Keywords: from parent article in message-setup-hook when following up

[Adam Sjøgren]

How do I get hold of the parent articles' Keywords: in
message-setup-hook when I do a follow up?

I can get eg From: by lookin in message-reply-headers - but Keywords:
are not in there.

Is there a trick I can use?


  Best regards,

    Adam

I think the "big" solution is to visit `message-reply-buffer', if that's
a live buffer, and parse its contents.

That sounds better than the ugly hack I have now, where I update a
global variable from gnus-article-prepare-hook and use it in
message-setup-hook - eeek.


  Thanks!

When you think about it, updating a global variable is all the Gnus code
is doing! But better to rely on someone else's ugly hack, I suppose...

Haha, yes, and if you take a couple of more steps back, all computing
is manipulation of global memory ;-)

But I think not having one hook storing the information and another
one using it will be a little less ugly, so thanks for the hint - the
naming of these variables is often not obvious to me.

Ugh, don't get me started. What's the difference between
gnus-current-article and gnus-article-current? No one will ever know.
