Hi, folks --
I use save_name to save my mail to bill in =bill and my mail to mary
in =mary, and all is well. I also note that mail to bill and mary and
john gets saved in =bill, while mail to mary and bill and john gets
saved in =mary; that's what I'd expect, but I'd like to learn a bit
more about that.
I currently have $HOME/Mail as my folder dir, and it has about a
zillion folders in it. I'd like to divvy those up into $HOME/Mail/X
folders, where X is for a place I've been (either school or work) and
move the relevant folks into those folders, but I'm interested in how
I can get save_name to work.
For instance, I went to school with bill, so his folder would change
from $HOME/Mail/bill to $HOME/Mail/UGA/bill. I worked with mary, so
her folder would move to $HOME/Mail/SAP/mary. That part is easy
enough. Now, though, when I send to mary, mut has to know to save the
copy of her message to =SAP/mary instead of =mary, and the same sort
of thing for bill.
So I could probably whip up a *bunch* of send-hooks, or maybe I could
be clever and match on the domain (uga.edu, sap-ag.de, ...). That
would work for when I send to mary or to bill -- but what about the
times when I send to mary *and* bill but, say, bill's hook comes later
in my muttrc?
I've said ever since I started playing with email and found elm and
brought it to UGA (I was the first one to see it, and spread the word
like crazy, and it was the de facto standard by the time I left :-)
that I really need a back-end database of some sort for storing all of
the messages so that I could cross-reference and index them and so
that both bill's and mary's folders would have "copies" of the message
in them without actually duplicating the space, but I don't want to
move to OracleMail :-)
Any other thoughts? TIA!
:-D
