On Friday 18 May 2018 18:22, Dave Woodfall <d...@dawoodfall.net> put forth the proposition:
When using hooks I find that I sometimes have problems with using 'set' and some variables that need quoting or escaping.eg: the following work: folder-hook =Sent 'set index_format="%3C %[!%d/%m/%y] %-15.15F %s"' folder-hook =Folk 'set editor="vim +\':call Mailer()\' %s"' However I'm having problems with this line: reply-hook .* 'set editor="vim +\':call Mailer()\' %s"' No matter how I quote/escape it I always get an error. Either something in the lines of '+:call: unknown variable' or 'sh -c unexpected '('' I don't know why this works with folder-hook but not with reply-hook. My usual way out of these situations is to put such commands in a file and have a hook source it, but to make a file for just one command just seems wrong. Any ideas? How do you guys cope with situations like this?
Answering my own question. This works: reply-hook .* "set editor='vim +\":call ListMailer()\" %s'" I reversed the single and double quotes. -Dave -- Please don't reply directly to me or CC me.
