I don't think MHonArc can do that.
You will have to create a filter program (with sed or perl) [...]
Or, if you know a little Perl, you can modify the code to do
what you want. The place to do it is in mhamain.pl and in the
routine read_mail_header(). Just add your code after the part
where the subject is extracted; there are comments in the routine,
so it should be easy to spot.
I thought I'd take a shot at this...
Here's the original code from mhamail.pl (starting at line 832)
##-------------##
## Get Subject ##
##-------------##
if ($fields{'subject'} !~ /^\s*$/) {
($sub = $fields{'subject'}) =~ s/\s*$//;
} else {
$sub = 'No Subject';
}
You could add a couple of lines after the
($sub = $fields{'subject'}) =~ s/\s*$//;
as follows:
##-------------##
## Get Subject ##
##-------------##
if ($fields{'subject'} !~ /^\s*$/) {
($sub = $fields{'subject'}) =~ s/\s*$//;
$tag = 'string to be removed';
$pat = quotemeta $tag;
$sub =~ s/$pat//;
} else {
$sub = 'No Subject';
}
While we're in the neighborhood...
Earl, I know you pointed me at this before, but I lost my notes
and I know you reorganized the code somewhat for 2.2.0.
While I want subject lines to display in mixed case in
the archive (just like they appear in the mail), I like the
subject-based threading to be case insensitive...
Where about was that code again?
