Thanks to you both. Bill Wohler 2008-05-17T21:38:02 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mh-e.user/1930 Thank you, Thomas. I agree. Bill Wohler 2008-05-17T21:17:34 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mh-e.user/1924 Very sweet! I use procmail, but move everything into separate mailboxes which are inc'ed into distincts folders as I am ready to read them. I could use this. Thanks for the heads-up!

It is a very interesting system based on cron tasks to refile the mail you have classified into folders to be treated next week, next month etc. into the inbox folder right on time. I personally use procmail to sort my mail into MH folders and use the unseen sequence to see new mails, so I cannot use Pete's system. If you are interested, I have attached a shell-script to move all mails from a specified sequence (today, nextweek etc.) into the unseen sequence. As I am not a shell-script specialist, there are maybe some improvements to do. You can then use the same cron-based system as Pete's.

This is like when I 10 years ago realized I could get documentation on C functions on the command line! Metainformation is more important than information... I realized it had something to do with enclosing the arguments to 'let' but I still don't understand why it's not enough with *one* parenthesis.

And read code. It's on topic as far as I can tell :-). I just typed in the code so typos were expected :-). Learning Emacs Lisp involves using C-h f (as in `C-h f let RET' which *might* have exposed a little light), and the Emacs Lisp manual `C-h i g (elisp) RET' which with its examples would have finished the job. I missed a couple of parens (shown with the non-functional characters [] for emphasis below).

Perhaps obvious, I'm just starting to get aquainted with emacs Lisp... I figured the best way to learn is to get my hands dirty with it. I realize this is getting a little off topic but running the function now results in the error: `let' bindings can have only one value-form: cond, ((= 1 arg) (quote (-textfield subject -limit 0))), ((= 2 arg) (quote (-textfield from -limit 0))) /h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

(a little knowledge...) in the manual, you give an example of using folder-mode-hook. you have something like: ---- (defvar my-mh-init-done nil "Non-`nil' when one-time MH-E settings made.") (defun my-mh-folder-mode-hook () ... (setq my-mh-init-done t)))) (add-hook 'mh-folder-mode-hook 'my-mh-folder-mode-hook) ---- to make sure the hook is only run once. i'm curious why not use remove-hook inside my-mh-folder-mode-hook to remove itself as a hook? i would think that would be more efficient (you wouldn't even call my-mh-folder-mode-hook after the first time folder mode runs). but, i suspect the intricacies of emacs/emacs-lisp/mh-e may be responsible. cheers, Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

Baushke 2008-04-28T16:26:51 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mh-e.user/1914 Hi, How do I change the arguments to sortm (mh-sort-folder) on a temporary basis? In the manual it says: "The option mh-sortm-args holds extra arguments to pass on to the command sortm^3 when a prefix argument is used with F S." but how do I give F S a prefix argument? Until now I've used the mh_profile to change the sortm arguments but I'm thinking there must be a better way to temporarily sort a folder by -textfield from or -textfield subject.

On my list of things to do is to avoid duplicating email addresses in my MH alias file and my Palm address book. My guess is that BBDB is involved and the the missing link is a conduit between the Palm database and BBDB. If any of you out there have solutions or even ideas for this problem, let's discuss! Getting aliases to and from the BBDB will help out Henrik too. Bill Wohler 2008-04-27T03:24:43 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mh-e.user/1910 No, I'm the one who is sorry.

I'm using bbdb and this line: (add-hook 'mh-folder-mode-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-mh) in my .emacs causes mh-e to prompt for To:, cc: and subject no matter how I configure mh-e. I'm trying to get my address books sorted out (or rather my usage of them) and find an efficient way to deal with aliases and groups without having to duplicate information. Right now I'm trying mail-abbrevs.el with bbdb but any suggestions are welcome. best, Henrik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

I get enough mail that I use gnus for initial reading of most mailing lists. gnus knows how to handle MH mail folders, and it lets me score emails according to a variety of factors (sender, keywords, date, etc). Messages read that way either go back into +inbox for further work, filed in a different folder (e.g., for archiving), or deleted. I don't try to read every email that I get. I don't create a separate MH folder for each list that I'm on, particularly at work. Rather, all the lists related to my specific project go into one folder, most of the remaining work-related lists go into a second folder, and a third folder collects the other lists. The reasons for splitting the work-related lists is that the scoring rules are different. For example, I work with both Solaris and Mercurial. So the folder that gets all the Solaris mail includes a score rule to give priority to emails that mention Mercurial, but it doesn't contain any rules about Solaris. The folder that gets the Mercurial traffic contains a rule to give priority to emails that mention Solaris, but it doesn't contain rules about Mercurial. At work I use slocal to distribute incoming mail. At home I use a filtering script that is tied to mh-inc-folder-hook. Xavier> In fact, I am subscribed to several mailing lists (a dozen I Xavier> think) and I fear I will miss mails as time passes. Well, you could always have a cron job that lists unseen email. Then you'd get reminders (via email) about unread mail. mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

At the moment, I use ^XO to pop into the message buffer, then 'yG' to yank the whole message (I use viper mode - 'the best of both worlds!' ;-) , then ^X^B to go to my org-mode buffer, and finally 'p' to paste it in the correct location. All of which, I'm sure, could be sped up. Is there a command which can grab the body of the current mail message as presented in the message buffer without leaving the MH-Folder buffer ?
