Re: 1.5.20 and sidebar
I decided to get my toes wet.
I have my mail dirs under ~/Maildirs.
Under each mail dir is a .archiverc which controls a nightly automated
backup of interesting mail dirs. This program moves old unflagged
seen files into an archive dir, or deletes them for the really boring
mail dirs. There is one common .archiverc which th eboring ones have
a symlink to. The interesting mail dirs have a custom .archiverc.
So here is my 'mudd' command which is used as
mailboxes `~/bin/mudd`
It returns the dirs in a specific order: those with fresh email first,
then those with custom archive files, then those with the canned
archive file, and lastly those with no archive file (I have a couple
of mail dirs where I put copies of mail). I also have some jun* dirs
used for spam and such.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
chdir($ENV{HOME}/Maildirs) or die Can't chdir to maildirs: $!;
my @fresh = ();
my @junk = ();
my @custom = ();
my @archived = ();
my @holding = ();
opendir(my $dh, '.') or die .: $!;
my @all = sort grep { -d $_/new } readdir($dh);
closedir($dh);
foreach my $subdir (@all) {
opendir(my $dh, $subdir/new) or die $subdir/new: $!;
my @new = readdir($dh);
closedir($dh);
if (@new != 2) {
if ($subdir =~ /^jun/) {
push(@junk, $subdir);
} else {
push(@fresh, $subdir);
}
} elsif (-l $subdir/.archiverc) {
push(@archived, $subdir);
} elsif (-f $subdir/.archiverc) {
push(@custom, $subdir);
} else {
push(@holding, $subdir);
}
}
print join(' ', @fresh, @junk, @custom, @archived, @holding), \n;
exit 0;
I figure this is a nice safe way to start. The more I use this
sidebar patch, the more I like it.
Which brings up the question of why hasn't it been added to mutt itself?

A trick I use is to create a script whose output is a (partial) mutt configuration file. In your case, the script could be a slight modification of 'mudd' which outputs: mailboxes =folder1 mailboxes =folder2 mailboxes =folderN ... then I source it from .muttrc as: source ~/bin/myscript | The | at the end makes mutt execute the script and interpret its output as if it appeared right there in .muttrc. It's very much like using backquotes, but you can make the script much simpler because any config command can be emitted at any time, with less need for tracking state information or compiling arrays. -- David Champion * d...@uchicago.edu * IT Services * University of Chicago
