send-hooks and save_name
Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out how to change the behavior of mutt's save_name feature. What I'm trying to do is to get mutt to do the save_name thing, except instead of having it save in =username, I want it to save in =work/username if any recipient's address contains "concordia.ca", and in =personal/username if no recipient's address contains "concordia.ca". I tried playing with changing the value of "folder" with a send-hook, but since it doesn't reset immediately after, it mungs up normal operations (since I still want "folder" to just be "~/mail/"). Is there a straightforward way to do such a thing? -Rich -- -- Rich Lafferty --- Sysadmin/Programmer, Instructional and Information Technology Services Concordia University, Montreal, QC (514) 848-7625 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Just add the following lint to your muttrc _above_ the other send-hooks so that it will be executed before the others. send-hook .

Just add the following lint to your muttrc _above_ the other send-hooks so that it will be executed before the others. send-hook . 'set folder=~/Mail' Well, with that I end up with send-hook . 'set folder=~/Mail' send-hook concordia.ca 'set folder=~/Mail/conu' send-hook !concordia.ca 'set folder=~/Mail/personal' and, as you can see, that first condition never happens. :-) But this helped me realize what the problem is -- with your default send-hook, it resets "folder" as soon as I go to *send* again. What I need is for "folder" to be set as I go to send, and to be reset to "~/Mail/" as soon as the message I'm sending is on its way. Hrm. This gets me very close: folder-hook . 'set folder=~/mail' send-hook concordia.ca 'set folder=~/mail/conu' send-hook !concordia.ca 'set folder=~/mail/personal' except that going from the send screen to the index doesn't trigger a folder-hook. (That'd be handy if it did, though, wishlist folks.) I'm beginning to think that there *is* no hook that takes place after a message is sent, so I can't think of any way to improve on the above. -Rich -- -- Rich Lafferty --- Sysadmin/Programmer, Instructional and Information Technology Services Concordia University, Montreal, QC (514) 848-7625 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

The problem with your suggestion is that with that the folder is *never* reset to ~/mail, and I've a lot more subdirectories than just conu/ and personal/ (it's just that those two are the only ones I'd want mail *automagically* saved into). -Rich -- -- Rich Lafferty --- Sysadmin/Programmer, Instructional and Information Technology Services Concordia University, Montreal, QC (514) 848-7625 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

How about using Procmail rules to put your mail where you like? * Rich Lafferty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [010308 08:56]: =On Thu, Mar 08, 2001 at 11:47:00AM -0500, Peter Kovacs ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: = On Thu, Mar 08, 2001 at 11:29:23AM -0500, Rich Lafferty wrote: =folder-hook .

OK, now I think I understand the problem. I can't think of any hooks that work the way you want, either. I did think of something else that might work, though. macro compose y "send-message:push :set folder=~/Mail" I have not tried that to see if it actually works. One problem with this approach is that you really need to create such macros for every command that leaves the compose menu, such as 'q' and 'P', and such a macro for 'q' would not work if 'postpone' was set to 'ask-yes' or 'ask-no'.
