I'm mostly okay with this, but there's one thing I'd like to see changed. I'm not fond of the idea of the new pseudo-component you created called "hidden". I know you can use it as a boolean, but defining it to a fixed string seems wrong to me. There is an existing function called %(unseen); I think it would be perfect for this. The way you pass in values to unseen is via the "dat" array (the 5th argument to fmt_scan). Index value 4 will be the value of %(unseen); see the comments in h/fmt_scan.h for more information. That just feels closer to how the format engine should work. There is precedent to overloading those dat[] entries to be used for other things, so this isn't new ground here. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
