In ~/.muttrc:
set edit_headers=yes
set editor=/path/to/my/script
set tmpdir=/path/to/tempfiles
Then /path/to/my/script has something along these lines:
#!/bin/zsh
typeset file=$1 label subject; shift
typeset editor=${VISUAL:-$EDITOR}
main() {
grep '^Subject: ' $file | read label subject
if [[ -n $subject ]]; then
newfile=$(sanitize-subject $subject)
ln -f $file $file:h/$newfile
fi
exec ${editor:-vi} $file
}
sanitize-subject() {
print -- $1 | perl -pe 's/ +/_/g; tr/A-Z_/a-z_/d; tr/a-z_//cd'
}
main $@
For example, this would leave a copy of this draft I'm composing right
now in /path/to/tempfiles/re_renaming_temporary_files.
