In the spirit of the Open Source movement, I feel compelled
to share the solution with everyone here.
1. To set the folder hooks for specific action when in my 'case
update' folder.
#<Issu_Updates>
folder-hook '.*Issu_Updates.*' 'set pgp_autosign=no'
folder-hook '.*Issu_Updates.*' 'set signature=~/.issusig'
folder-hook '.*Issu_Updates.*' 'set edit_headers=yes'
folder-hook '.*Issu_Updates.*' 'set editor=/users/stharms/bin/issu_update_wrapper.pl'
#</Issu_Updates>
A. Turn of PGP
B. Get my scaled down signature with more relevant contact information
C. Turn on Edit Headers
E. Set editor to the wrapper.
OK, so I reply to something in this folder and it execs $editor:
Here's the script (if any perl diety wants to reduce this to an
absurdly silly one liner I'd love seeing it):
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$file=$ARGV[0];
open (IN,$file);
open (OUT,">/tmp/foo");
#Get the value of the user's id out of the input file
while (<IN>){
chomp;
if (/Subject:/){
s#.*for ##;s# has.*##;
$userid=$_;
close IN
}#end if
}#end while
#replace the cc: line to cc:user
open (IN,$file);
while (<IN>){
chomp;
if (/Cc/){
$_ .= $userid
}
unless (/^X-/){
unless (/^\[[TI]/){
print OUT "$_\n";
}
}
}
#Move the temp outfile to the input file
system("mv /tmp/foo $file");
#Run the most superior editor thereupon. Skip down 8 lines so that
#I start on a starting line and not on 0 where all the header data is.
exec ("emacs -nw +8 $file ");
----
Lastly, I had to set something so that if NOT in this folder
set it back to defaults:
#<Standard>
folder-hook !'.*Issu_Updates.*' 'set edit_headers=no'
folder-hook !'.*Issu_Updates.*' 'set editor=/usr/bin/emacs\ -nw'
folder-hook !'.*Issu_Updates.*' 'set pgp_autosign=yes'
#</Standard>
So that's the solve. Any perly tips are all good.
