More than one user-mail-address

More than one user-mail-address

[Alexander Baier]

Hello,

Mails with a From: header matching user-mail-address are shown
differently in the summary view: Instead of displaying the normal From:
value they display the value in the To: header. I find this to be
extremely helpful.  The problem is, that I regularly use multiple
addresses and thus can only always mark one of them as "mine" -- aka
setting user-mail-address.

Is there a way to configure multiple addresses?

Yes, see gnus-ignored-from-addresses, which can be a regular expression
matching all your addresses.

,----[ C-h v gnus-ignored-from-addresses RET ]
| gnus-ignored-from-addresses is a variable defined in `gnus-sum.el'.
| Its value is
| "\\(asjo\\|adam\\|adsj\\)@\\(koldfront.dk\\|asjo.org\\)"
| Original value was 
| "asjo@koldfront\\.dk"
| 
| Documentation:
| *From headers that may be suppressed in favor of To headers.
| This can be a regexp or a list of regexps.
`----


  Best regards,

    Adam

This works like a charm, thank you very much!

Yes. There are a couple of variables for that. I use a code piece like
the one below to set the variables.


    (let ((addr '("primary.address@somewhere.invalid"
                  "another.address@isp.invalid"
                  "yet.another@address.invalid")))

      (setq-default
       user-mail-address (car addr)
       message-alternative-emails (regexp-opt (cdr addr) 'words)
       message-dont-reply-to-names (regexp-opt addr 'words)
       gnus-ignored-from-addresses message-dont-reply-to-names))

Thank you for regexp-opt! That was something I was looking for while
constructing a regexp for `gnus-ignored-from-addresses'.
