Okay, perhaps you can help me out here (or someone can)...
Basically, I want save-hook and mbox-hook to work like this:
1) I want to define a list of folders (whether in variables, or by actual
hook lines...whatever) that I want NOT to exhibit the default behaviour.
2) I want all folders not in this list to exhibit the default behaviour.
3) However, I want the folders listed to NOT exhibit the default behaviour.
Basically, I want all read messages to go to =received when quitting or
changing folders. But NOT when I'm in certain folders (like
/home/fairlite/folders/funnies, which has 900+ jokes from over the years),
or when I'm already in =received...things like that.
I want it except when I specify I don't want it. Is this possible?
I suspect I need some form of folder-hook along with save-hook and
mbox-hook, but even after going over the manual a few times, I can't quite
work out the logic of it. I think it's just being new to the hooks thing.
I shouldn't complain...it's already 500x more versatile than elm ever was,
and I lived with that for 10 years. :)
If someone has the exact solution to this, I'd love to hear it... :) :) :)
TIA...
