Re: Script to rebuild quotes
Hi,
On Fri, 30 Nov 2001 Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] spewed into the ether:
[-- snip --]
Initial perl version at:
http://freak.aagh.net/code/quotefix.pl
Does this grok ^http: and stuff ? Doesn't seem to do it here. So, what
I did was, I converted the regexp it looks for into the $quote_regexp in
my .muttrc, with a few changes.
snip
while ($line =~ /^(--)|^([ \t]*[(A-Z){0,2}|(a-z){0,6}]+)|^([ \t\]*[|}%])+/
/snip
Another thing is, the Super-quotes, like ^ AA, always seem to end
in , and not in [|}%], etc. This could possible be changed by some
sadistic people, but for now, I've omitted everything but .
Also, this is something that comes up often in display filtering :
When stripping of trailing white-spaces, don't strip off the white-space
after the sig-dashes. Or, better yet, do this, before printing $line :
$line =~ s/^--$/-- /;
Anyway, great work ! But, unfortunately, the quest for the perfect
quote_regexp seems never-ending :-(
pv.

It should do, the ruby one certainly seems to, but the Perl version's
poorly tested.
You'll note the:
$1.$' !~ /^(From|(http|mailto|ftp|telnet|gopher|scp|rsync):|[:;]-?\))/)
The ^ is probably tripping it up - maybe a \s* is needed.

I'll see what I can rip out of that, but don't forget FO

Yeah, something worth exploiting, probably.

white-space after the sig-dashes. Or, better yet, do this, before
printing $line :
$line =~ s/^--$/-- /;
It's made with filtering individual blocks in mind, because this is how
I format mail - I hit F2 to fix the quotes and F3 to run it through par,
but I'll fix this.
Anyway, great work ! But, unfortunately, the quest for the perfect
quote_regexp seems never-ending :-(
47 downloads so far - 30 for the quick perl version and 17 for the
original tested Ruby :)

Signing list email is a complete useless exercise and wastes my time if your key is not on any key servers (and yes, I tried several, just in case).

Hi, On Fri, 30 Nov 2001 Lars [EMAIL PROTECTED] spewed into the ether: Signing list email is a complete useless exercise and wastes my time if your key is not on any key servers (and yes, I tried several, just in case). Am a bit new to the whole concept of encryption, so I apologize for the trouble I've caused. I've now put my key onto www.keyserver.net. I think I've done it right, because when I searched for myself, I found me. Have also got hold of some literature, so I will RTFM over the next couple of days. Meanwhile, I'll also try to pry out my foot from my immensely accomodating mouth :-) Oh, and Steve Kennedy, I believe that's my key that gpg can't check. Try now, it should be alright. Sorry again.
