Send-Hooks, and the Subject, revisited. _______________________________________
I have asked a similar question before, with no clear answer. I will try to rephrase it. I hope that perhaps some developer is reading, and can say 'this is not possible' or 'it should be possible'. Now, the question: Is it possible to use a send hook to set the subject? My common sense tells me it is possible. However, I have tried several combinations of send-hooks without success. Examples: send-hook '~t ^[EMAIL PROTECTED]$' 'my_hdr Subject: [test] ' send-hook [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'my_hdr Subject: [test] ' ... This does not result in the subject line set to start with [test] as expected. However, and strangely enough, every one in a hundred messages or so (i.e. very infrequently) the subject line will start with [test], even though I'm not sending the message to the magic incantation of [EMAIL PROTECTED] .... Using 'unmy_hdr Subject' or not doesn't appear to affect this behaviour. Perhaps my_hdr can be used with other headers, but not with the subject. I'm not a developer myself, so I cannot read mutt's sources and figure this out, but I guess it should be possible ... right? I've tried several options to make mutt avoid asking for the subject upon hitting 'm' to start a new message. No change. Upon searching google with 'unmy_hdr Subject:' I see that most of the hits are to documents with the words 'unmy_hdr' and 'Subject' not connected (not near). One document, however contains the following send-hook (it's from a mailing list archive): send-hook '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' \ 'set mime_forward ; set pgp_autosign=no ; set editor=/bin/true ; \ my_hdr Fcc: /dev/null ; my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; my_hdr Subject: spam ; \ push y' However, a comment on top of the send-hook says: # mystery: The subject isn't being set. Why?!? We're two now. Any idea why the Subject header doesn't like being set this way?
